God REALLY does speak!

This morning as I sat down with a hot cup of tea, in the darkness, in the quiet, I felt ready to receive whatever message God was going to send my way. I am NEVER disappointed IF I can put aside all the thoughts in my mind to allow him access to me. Sometimes that is a hard feat as I often get in my own way as well! :-) I was reading in John 4 where Jesus talks to the Samaritan women at the well. She is amazed that he, a Jew, would even talk to her, a Samaritan......can you imagine being offered living water by Jesus himself?! 2000 years later he is still offering living water to all who believe that he is God's Son, the Messiah. Yep, it's that easy....

"He was chosen before the creation of the world, 
but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 
Through him you believe in God, who raised him from 
the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and 
hope are in God."

Anyways, it came to me, like a lightening strike......I am leaving my cocoon, out of the VERY familiar into the VERY unfamiliar! I am going to have an opportunity that I haven't had in a very long time.....an opportunity to bust out of my very comfortable bubble and maybe, just maybe, impact others for Christ! I don't know what those opportunities will look like at this point but I've prayed that God will open my eyes to the needs of others....who knows, perhaps an elderly person in the airport or a mom with an unhappy baby on the airplane...... whether it is a warm smile, a kind word or a helping hand....these are all ways in which we can allow Christ's light to shine through us.  I am a willing vessel and I am excited to see how he might use me during this MUCH needed, MUCH anticipated trip.

All the glory and honor is his as without him I would have nothing and I would be nothing! There I'll rest...in Him...the One.....
