A couple of weeks ago I posted an entry titled "Ready?", which was really an email that a friend sent me in response to an email update I sent out. Again, it has really been on my heart so I went to search my "old" email account to see if I could find the email that I sent that inspired her response. I found it and read it today.... it was from August 6, 2003 and here is what I wrote and almost feel like I'm feeling again:
And I think the most important thing I need to share with you all is that I AM IN LOVE. Yes, can you believe it my love life feels complete at the moment. I never thought I could ever feel this way in my whole life. Oh, I guess I should mention who I am in love with right? I am in LOVE with God like I have never been before. I know there is a song out that says "99.9% sure I have never been here before". That is me. I have loved Him since the day I opened my heart to Him. But Sunday, it just hit me so hard. How much love there is. I am so full of love and Joy right now I feel as though I am ready to burst wide open. I don't know what really brought it on. It may have been the past two months, drawing closer to Him every day, trying to allow Him to have complete control of my life, the book I was reading that day, or maybe looking back and remembering where I have been. I thought of all of the people who have been a part of my journey. All the words of encouragement from each one. I just really don't know other than I am in love in a way I have never been before. I know with out a doubt that God has a hold of the pen. He is writing my story, not me. He is the only One who knows what the next chapter holds, I only have to worry about living the page I am on right now. I don't ever want this feeling to end. I feel as though I am floating on air. I really wish I could share this love and joy with each and everyone of you in a personal way. I guess I am by sending this to you. Some of you may not understand, or think I'm weird. That is ok, I just know I don't need anything else but Him. His love has always stayed the same. I just feel so different. This is amazing I want you all to feel this.
I just knew something big was coming on a page soon, I just never imagined it would be this GREAT!!! Thank you all for being a part of my story. May God bless you in an amazing way this very moment.
You are all are loved by a wonderful God in Heaven, open your hearts to Him. It will change your life.
w/ much love,
Kimie, Kimberly, Kim, Kimster, Mich, Morton, etc...... (you know what you call me)

Subtle Way
I just love the way GOD continues to speak into my life when I feel I need Him too, or when He is reminding me that I'm walking exactly where He would have me walking at the moment.
It makes me wonder why we ever even doubt... This morning a friend shared during "Praise & Prayer Time" at church what God had been placing on her heart this week. One thing was why the Israelites took so long to enter the promise land, it was their doubt and unbelief. She encouraged us to believe and trust in God in order to enter!!
Then this week at different moments when I began to doubt, God spoke in those little subtle ways whether through a person like above or in my quiet time reading.
Some examples from "God Calling" March 17-21 are:
...You need to trust Me for everything.
...Just trust Me in everything. ...The difficult way is nearly over, but you have learnt in it lessons you could learn in no other way. ...Such wonderful things are coming to you, Joy-Peace-Assurance-Security-Health-Happiness-Laughter. Claim big, really big, things now. Remember, nothing is too big. Satisfy the longing of My Heart to give. Blessing, abundant blessing, on you both now and always. Peace.
I am here. Fear not. Can you really trust Me? I am a God of Power, as well as a Man of Love, so human, yet so divine. Just trust. I cannnot, and I will not, fail you. All is well. Courage. Many are praying for you both.
Your foolish little activities are valueless in themselves. Seemingly trivial or of seemingly great moment, all deeds are alike if directed by Me. Just cease to function except through Me. ...
...Long though the way may seem, there is not one inch too much. I, your Lord, am not only with you on the journey- I planned, and am planning, the journey. There are Joys unspeakable in the way you go....
And then just my own thoughts about a particular man in Wyoming.... and for the past two weeks classes have been reading stories about Ranches, Horses, Cowboys, and such.... Not to mention the visitors at church today sharing about a Rodeo Camp through Fellowship of Christian Cowboys....
Hmmm, subtle little hints or not?

Ready?
I've been thinking about this the past couple of days as I was remind of it for some reason.... a very good friend sent it to me back in the summer of 2003:
You may have seen this before. I have but it's been a while.
Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone...to have a deep soul relationship with another...to be loved thoroughly and exclusive. But God to a Christian says NO, not until you are satisfied,fulfilled and content with being loved by me alone...with giving yourself totally and unreservedly to me...to having an intensively personal and unique relationship with me alone, discovering that only in me is your satisfaction to be found and only then will you be capable of the perfect human relationship that I have planned for you.
I want you to stop planning, stop wishing and allow me to give you the mostthrilling plan existing... one that you cannot imagine. I want you to have the best, Please allow me to bring it to you. You just keep experiencing the satisfaction that I AM. Keep listening and learning the things I tell you. You must wait. That's all. My timing is perfect for you.
Don't be anxious, don't worry. Don't look around at the things others have gotten or what I've given them. Don't look at the things you think you want. You just keep looking off and away up at me, or you'll miss what I have to show you.
And then, when you are ready, I'll surprise you with a love far more wonderful than anything you would dream of. You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready (I am working even at this moment to have both of you ready at the same time). Until you are both satisfied exclusively with me and the life I prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship
with me, and is thus perfect love.
And dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with me. I AM EL SHADI (Most loving and almighty). Believe and be satisfied.
'For I know the plan I have for you declares the Lord
Plans to give you hope and a future...
You will seek me and find me
when you seek me with all your heart.'
JEREMIAH 29:11,13
'Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.'
Proverbs 3:5-6
I have fallen again Kimie. Time to start over. I miss the fellowship and love I once had with Him. I wish I had half your strength.
