I have reconnected with a few old friends lately. It is an interesting thing to me to now again be in contact with some people who knew me when I was at a much different time in life, and then to reconnect now. One friend knew me when we were children. It has been so interesting reconnecting after so much time, and seeing how we have changed as we grew up.
The biggest difference I have noticed in me is the fact that I am so much more confident in who I am, and I know that has a direct correlation to who I am in Christ. It's truly amazing to me. I'm still me, only better. It's like I'm more of the me I was created to be.
Since going to the Power and Love conference last month, I have just been overwhelmed by God's goodness. I feel so much better equipped to be able to minister to those around me as life happens. God is blessing me in ways I never even considered he might, and I have never felt so alive. I have been experiencing God in such incredible ways lately. He has been showing up a lot lately in my life and as I go about my day. I just cannot seem to keep what I know to myself any longer. This shift in me has effected everything, and it is totally amazing!
I have been encountering the Holy Spirit lately too, and he has shown me a lot about love and lack. He is my helper, teacher and friend. And I am only just begining to get to know him. He is showing me where I have believed things that are not true about myself and about my life. And as I get to know him better, he is just opening my eyes to all kinds of amazingness! It's like I keep getting the prize just because I show up. It is so wonderful. I have stopped asking for things for myself and have been focused on the needs of others. I just cannot stop thanking him for his goodness. He knows my needs and my heart's desires, so he just keeps showing up and blessing me. This season is so wonderful! I sure hope it is a long one!
