Our God is always doing a new thing. Always. Just when I
think I’m settled and easing along in a comfort zone He does a new thing.
Back in January midst snow and ice and frigid temperatures
an opportunity opened for me to speak to a group of women who had been studying
Dee Brestin’s Idol Lies. He opened a place for me to share a message, to share a hope and to share my heart.
The women were beautiful. Diverse. Engaged. Hungry.
Incredible was that day. When the Spirit slides you into your gifting it is a beautiful, horribly wonderful
thing. It scares the time right out of you because you know you can’t do it on
your own. There is nothing you can drum up, nothing you can pull up out of
yourself. So, you ask Him. Ask Him to show up. And he does.
Glory he does.
There were many ways our God manifested his presence with and in
us that day. My precious friend the worship leader (and coordinator of the event) opened
with a song I had never heard before. And oh, what a voice the Father has given her.
As I stood taking in the words I hovered in a thin place between my feet on the ground and my head
rimming the edges of heaven. For a few minutes I actually forgot where I was
except that I was wholly and holy in his presence. He knew what I needed to
speak. He knew what I needed to have the courage to share.
I bless him still.
The song? Hillsong United’s Oceans: Where Feet May Fail.
Today I listened to it again at the request of my daughter.
And the swell of praise pushed on the walls of my spirit and the words that
came out of my mouth?
I am undone. Undone.
Please take the time to click on the following clip. Yes, it’s
long. Over 7 minutes. But it will be a seven minutes invested not wasted.
My prayer is that, you too, will be undone.
