Of course I have.
And I need to recognize and acknowledge that at all times.
Life has been on warp speed for so long - I keep hanging on to all of the experiences that have shaped my life so far, but there is so much more for me to have in my life. I don't mean that in a selfish way, more that my lamp is far from full, and it is my work for this time to be filling that lamp. Acknowledging God's hand in my life will be instrumental in helping me fill my lamp.
So, let me start my renewed commitment to acknowledging the Lord's hand in my everyday life by sharing what happened when I put a big question to the Lord through prayer and fasting. We have been wanting to list our home and move. We tried last summer and it didn't happen. We worked really hard, put it out there and it just wasn't to be.
We are revisiting the topic again now, a year later and now that school is out my brain has some time to bring this about. Saturday we started a fast, asking the Lord to grant us the confidence we needed to move forward in whatever direction is best for us at this time. We prayed, we started fasting and we went on with our day. One of the activities in my day was to stop in at the wedding reception for a dear friend's son. As I visited with her, her husband and parents, I was filled with positive conversation and energy about selling the house. I asked for an increased feeling of confidence and was blessed with that almost immediately.
I am so grateful that everyday can show me a connection to heaven, the connection is strong, and real. I need to work to make it stronger and to live closer to the spirit so that I can do more good in this world.
