Wow this has been a crazy past month... I've gone from a state where I felt like I had honestly given up on things and was completely isolated to a place where I am SO excited to see what God has in store for me today, SO excited for all the opportunities to interact with people today, and SO excited to find some way to love on someone today.. thank God He's helping me see people around me that need it so much, and has put me in a place once again where I'm able to love on them and build them up.
From here until Sunday evening is very busy, and I anticipate next week be quite busy as well. Remember, I went from doing nothing and rolling around in my depression.. pulling some under my head and the rest over my body to keep warm lol... right back to a packed schedule as usual. That, is a miracle. Schedule for the weekend starting.. now --

God really is working in so many ways in my life, and one of them is making me very busy.. and I'm just not good when I'm not busy... I hate being unproductive. Another way He is working in my life right now is giving me an opportunity to minister to the people around me by simply loving on them.. showing them God's love without preaching at them or trying to convince them of things.. just simply loving on them by showing I care however I can.. a little consideration and a smile goes a long way.
God,
I'm so excited about coming back towards you... I thank you for what was said when Charity and I talked.. and prayed... and that our words were not only heard but answered. I don't konw how much longer I could have felt alone, the way that I did. You are the great healer God, and I doubted you on that 13 months ago.. I'm sorry I questioned you, but you know that's in our nature. I had so much pain just a month ago and I "feel" complete and whole right now, ready to put you once again in the center of everything I do and excited to once again continuing what I do... the calling you've given me.. just to love people, by action. Help me to watch my mouth today as Ephesians 4:29 is my focus right now, and I also pray that you help me with the lesson plan tonight.... it's going to be a long one. Love ya dad.
J
