The Awesomeness Abounds

.

It is amazing what happens when you take the time to listen…and hear the words of the Lord. Last night I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the Conference of Restoration Elders and listen to the words of counsel from a friend. He challenged us to Rise, Return, and Rebuild. I felt like he was speaking directly to me as my heart, and life, have risen and are returning to Him.

I also had the pleasure of speaking with the ever-so-wise Amy Simpson aka Rita and one of my best friends in the whole -wide world. Ames really listened and helped me gain some perspective on the recent events of my life. She allowed me to be real…and man…sometimes you just need to “be real” about what is going on in your life and within your soul. I know the clouds will part and the sun will shine soon, because I have a wonderful family, amazing friends, and a Lord who gave His son to die for MY sins!

This morning I woke up feeling renewed and joyful! My joyful heart is bursting through- longingly- waiting for a time when it can fully rejoice again. The refiner’s fire is hot…but the awesomeness will soon abound!

And, of course, the dude…always abides J That is for you Rita.
