During our Doctrines class my friend shared with me that my word from God for her really impacted her and that the carrot Satan was dangling in her face to try to distract her from what God was calling her to do suddenly was no longer there. She now saw clearly how that was just a temptation from the enemy to pull her away from what God was calling her to do. Praise the Lord!! Then her husband felt like he needed to tell me that I look “beautiful” to him. He said he looked over at me during class and was struck by “my beauty”… This was very uncomfortable for me to say the least!! I am still not sure what this was all about…??? When he said this, I flashed on my image in the mirror that morning and just how tired and worn out I looked. It certainly was not a "pretty" sight…

When I got home and checked my emails, I got one from a friend I prayed for, thanking me for the Word God gave to me for her on Sunday:

Linda - Been thinking of you all week and wanting to thank you for sharing the word that you had for me on Sunday. I have tucked it deep inside and pulled it out numerous times this week. When I walked into class yesterday morning, I felt like I was "book-prepared" but had nothing spiritually, when usually I feel on fire with the "golden nugget" that He wants me to share. Remembering that He is Lord that He will never leave me and I am not doing anything on my own gave me the strength to get class started, and then the Holy Spirit took over. Our class on Judges and Ruth ended up being Holy Spirit driven spontaneous prayer, confessions, tears, rejoicing, and a sense of God moving powerfully on everyone in the room. And despite feeling a little out of sorts today, just taking the time to tell you what God did has put me back into such a better frame of mind - I am actually sitting here grinning like a loon! : D

Hope you are having a wonderful Thursday! sending love - K

God is so good!
