Hi! I’ve really missed sharing with you, but it was a lot going on and I had to get my directions from on HIGH. When I’m searching for an answer I have to still myself, tune out the external so I can hear that soft Spirit that speaks to me, comforts me and guides me.
It’s all
been worth it and I’m quite sure that you will agree with me after a few post
as we play catch up.
If you’re
familiar with my blog or you’re just getting into the groove with me, let me
say welcome. Always know that you’re
invited to ask me questions or make comments.
Let’s see
where to start?
It’s been a
year since I’ve returned to the States from Gambia, West Africa, and what a
year it’s been. Fruitful indeed!
I came back
to the states not knowing what to expect, but that’s life anyway. We can plan,
make arrangement or set things up, but that does not mean that your plans, arrangements,
or set ups will be as you wanted or expected. That is how most of life has been.
Shucks, for a great portion of my life so far, I have not planned its course. In
my way of thinking I believed that since GOD predestined our future any way, it’s
futile to plan what’s next. I do believe that I’ve eluded to this about me in
an earlier post. But these days I do make plans, but I know that GOD’s will be
done.
My planned living
arrangements fell through completely! I had a hotel room for a few days, but
who can afford that. And who wants to live in a hotel room for an extended
period? I felt trapped, caged! I could feel the energy and life of the city all
around, yet I felt removed from it.
Uh uh, no, I
wasn’t having that, so first things first, I prayed. Yep that’s first for me. I
first expressed my thanks to GOD for making all things and praising HIM for HIS
goodness, then I began to talk to HIM about my situation. I needed some
transportation and I needed a place to live immediately! I trusted HE would
provide and I got busy looking for both. Looking for an apartment with a short
term lease wasn’t going to be easy. I had plans and they didn’t include a long
term lease.
The next day
I bought a reliable used vehicle and moved into temporary housing! Yes, just
like that.
Now I could
get down to business, spread my wings! After all that’s one of the reasons why I
came back to the states from Africa. That, my family and my health. Aspects of
each of these where limited while living there. Now we all know that Africa is
a very, very large continent, but I had
grown so much in the time I spent there that it didn’t, no place for that
matter have enough space for my wingspan.
HalleluJAH,
I was getting ready to fly!
