I don't know about you, but sometimes I just need to get away to recharge and refocus. Sometimes a getaway can be as easy as closing the door to my studio or taking a walk... shutting out the world in order to have an hour or so of quiet time alone with God. But sometimes, when I have a big decision to make or am moving in a new direction, I feel compelled to seek out some serious solitude in order to just sit and wait on the Lord for wisdom and direction. With that said... if you missed me... that's where I've been these last few days... hanging out with God in a little cabin on the coast... seeking affirmation and direction as I begin my newest journey into writing and designing my next book on the topic of THANKSGIVING! And I'm blessed to say... I'm off to a great start. It's definitely just a beginning but I have a sense of direction and that's a good thing! Thank You Lord!
If you've been visiting my blog for any amount of time, you already know the value I place on giving God thanks... simply because He is God and He is good. But God is calling me to a deeper place of thanksgiving and I have a feeling He's going to be doing some things in my life... some challenging and some glorious... as I walk out the message He is writing on my heart even now. I'll keep you posted.
Oh yes... and when I say I thank God for you... I mean it! Thank you all for allowing me to speak into your lives as well as many of you, I know, partner with me through my books and products to share the Good News of Christ with the world... THANK YOU!!
I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you,
I always pray with joy because of your partnership
in the gospel from the first day until now.
Philippians 1:3
Father God... thank You so much for each and every woman who comes to visit here. I may not know their hearts but I know You live in them and You are more powerful than the roaring ocean waves. And I may not know their circumstances but You do and I ask today that You would bless them in the midst of whatever is going on in their lives... that they would be able to sense Your Omnipotent Presence and thanksgiving would rise in their hearts just to know You dwell in them and with them... for Your glory... amen.
