Sometimes our brain needs a lane change!
Thanks so
much for stopping by for Coffee Hour with Chicklit Power and our Tuesday’s
Trench Truth with Trench Classes United. Come on in for a moment of truth that
came to the surface of my heart just last week.
Last week, I
had an incredibly long drive to what turned out to be a short deposition. But
oh, how thankful I am for that long ride to Glendale. I had determined in my
mind that I was going to make it a great time of worship and praise, a time for
me and Abba to hang out, and a time for me to hear Him above the noise of life.
He’s such a joyous God, with a crazy funny sense of humor, and He will go to
great lengths to sit us down, causing us to be still so deep can reach out to
deep. And the parking lot of the 210 freeway proved to be that quiet place!
The entire
two-hour drive was spent listening and agreeing with so many pieces by Hosanna
Poetry, words that worked as coals of fire with sparks of conviction into a
couple of areas of my life, sparks burning away deeply-buried resentments,
resentments that were close to growing roots but now with the cry of repentance
melted away like a dying ember.
There were
moments of such deep conviction driving me right there in the parking lot of
the freeway to cry out for God to forgive me for what had been growing,
unbeknownst to me, inside my heart because of an ongoing situation.
And then
there were moments of just thanking Him, of feeling His arms reach out and
enfold me in a huge and gentle hug all the while keeping the hands on the wheel
of my car driving me to my deposition.
What could
have been a real bummer of a drive turned out to be such a time of refreshing
renewal…it was as if my brain had a lane change!
Coffee Hour
friend, sometimes we just need to be still in the most unsuspecting places and
times and soak up His presence, allow our brain to experience the ease of a
lane change that will propel our heart right back to Him. What goes in is what comes out!
Are there
people, circumstances pulling on your mind, taking you down the roads of
resentment, bitter, angry? Join us to learn how to experience that brain lane
change and live fearlessly!
Love,
Evinda
