Extra Light...

I always feel so alive when I hear GOD speaking.... and at times it feels like it has been way to long since I have felt HIM so closely.

I can't believe I just had two paragraphs written and then they were gone on here... I didn't even touch anything, so not for sure what happened... other than as I'm feeling so close and the power of GOD at this moment and wanting to share, the enemy is still attacking... Wow, doesn't he ever give up? Doesn't he know I won't walk away from the Lord?

Anyways, back to trying to rewrite what was already flowing in my head and heart through my hand onto this page.... I know I'm not gonna be able to recreate it, but I'll try to at least share after the interruption of losing what I wrote.

I got a big blow today and have been seeking GOD all day... even asked others for some extra prayers of strength. I ended up watching "A Walk to Remember" and the flood of tears just kept coming tonight.

And then I came in to spend the final moments of my day spending time with the Lord before going to bed and resting in the arms of GOD. I went to my favorite form (besides the Bible) of words that GOD uses to speak to me and He did. Man, I do love HIM so.

GOD CALLING:
Extra Work
Our Lord and our God. Help us through poverty to plenty. Through unrest to rest, through sorrow to Joy, through weakness to Power. I am your Helper. At the end of your present path lie all these blessings. So trust and know that I am leading you. Step with a firm step of confidence in Me into each unknown day. Take every duty and every interruption as My appointment....

Wow!!!! Then I go on to read the following in "SINGLE-MINDED DEVOTION" by Michelle McKinney Hammond:
The Light Within
"God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light." ~Genesis 1:3
I find it interesting that the first thing God spoke into existence was light. Light is essential to our well-being. We can't move or function well without it. The absence of light can negatively affect our state of mind.... ...We need light, and not just physically. We also need light spiritually. God is that light. All it takes is a word from Him to set captives free, to heal sick bodies, to release minds, to comfort tear-stained souls. If we choose, we can let the sunlight reassure us that God is on the scene and has noticed our predicament. He's given us promises we can stand on. If God can say let there be light and the universe obeys His word, He can also say, "Let there be provision for you" and "Let there be an amazing opportunity, and open door for you." "Let there be joy... let there be peace... let there be deliverance... let there be love." And when He speaks, His will is put into motion. We are God's children.... ...What do you need God to speak over you today?...

HE just gives really big hugs when I need them... HE is always here and HIS eyes are watching me constantly as HE is refining me... I wonder does the silver get refined faster when the heat is turned up? If so, what the enemy thinks he'll use to destroy us is really just allowing GOD to keep HIS eye on me even more closer to see HIS image in the reflection... Ooohh, does that sounds so good!!

Loving life and feeling so blessed at the moment. For I truly know that I am fully Known and fully Loved... not only by GOD, but by many that HE has put into my life. More there, but time to rest in HIS arms for now. HE and I know, and well that is just gonna have to be good enough for now.
