Great Times

Over the last several months I have felt the Lord move in me great mountains. Thank the Lord for continuing to show me the way He would have me go. Sometimes we all get off track, but when we seek Him and continue to seek Him, He will bring us back to the right track that He wanted us on all along. I feel like that is what has happened in my life. I got off track, didn't stay on the track that He wanted me on, and now He has lifted me up, taken me back to the spot where I veered to the right, and put me back on the straight and narrow path. He is lighting my way down this path very distinctly. He has brought Katie and Micah into my life, showing me clear direction for our relationship, and I am so excited about what He is doing.

This last weekend I went to IL to visit Katie and the fam. I left IN Friday evening arriving in IL at 11:10 PM IL time (that's 12:10 IN time!). We had a great time Saturday doing a little garage saling, shopping and hangin' with the fam. One of two highlights for me was spending time singing and praising the Lord at the house. The piano, yeah, I bit out of tune, but the time singing was great! :0) We then went to CPC to have a Youth outing at Katie's church...I had blast getting to help Katie! We were able to spend time together working through our Devotions for Couples book, and praying together that evening and then I left to come back to IN Sunday AM really early. I had to be back in time to lead worship at our 11AM service.

As I drove back, I snapped a few pics of the sunrise on my cell phone. (I'll post them on my facebook, so check that out for the pics.) Again this week, the Lord kept me safe driving there and back. He kept me alert, didn't let me get sleepy, and I was able to drive straight through in less than 4 hours from Katie's house to the church. :) I spent those hours mostly in prayer and listening/singing praise & worship. The Lord brought people to mind that I needed to pray for, and one of those was our senior pastor and his family. I found out after I had been praying that his daughter had been involved in a car accident Saturday night and he was dealing with that while at the same time working on preparing for service. Gary was struggling to get focus, I spoke with him and continued to pray.

Praise the Lord for that time of prayer and worship on the drive back. His majestic beauty was evident as I drove seeing the sunrise, and He brought people to me that I should pray for. It was great, and just a beginning to my day.

I'll stop my rambling, but only after saying this...I cannot wait to have Katie here, and not be so far away from each other...however again I say "In God's Time" it will happen. :)

Blessings!
