Where do I begin? It has been a long time since I have posted. I mean REALLY posted. Maybe it is because after our adoption that went awry, I felt like I didn't have much to offer that could compare to sharing my heart as much as I had. Maybe it is the adjustment to "motherhood" and juggling work, family, ministry, time to be me, gym and everything else I truly love.
Regardless of what it is, October 1st, I heard God tell me to "Break the silence!" Break the silence by increasing my focused prayer time, fasting, reading the word, my worship, being His mouthpiece and taking care of myself. I am a list person and often get caught up in the details of life instead of enjoying Life. I have to be careful so as not to get paralyzed by lists and details.
You may be asking, "Melinda, God gave you that word in October and it's February! What's up?" Have you ever been paralyzed because there was so much to do and you didn't know where to begin? Yeah. Then it get's further away from the intended starting point and you start thinking, it may be too late now. Kind of like buying a birthday card for someone, forgetting it at home, cleaning out the drawers 6 months later and finding it. Is it too late to give? I hate it when that happens.
It's time. God is moving all around us! Literally, there has been an all-out attack of the enemy on God's people and their ability to be used by Him. Their peace, faith, blessing, thoughts, etc. I have been in prayer and fasting for this very thing. I experienced a personal breakthrough last Tuesday.
It's not too late. You have something to say to your situation and it's called the word of God. You can begin, one step at a time toward that goal you are desiring. You can seek the help of a friend, no matter how stupid or foolish you feel.
