Finding your purpose

Three days ago, He told me to write this book and I have been at work ever since. To say that I am exhausted is an understatement, but I also feel exhilarated as one does when you are certain that you are doing what He wants you to do.

Wade and I have a wonderful joint relationship with God, where He allows us to take turns to minister to one another. We both have volatile personalities and thankfully, God has attuned us in such a way that when the one is down, the other is up and vice versa. When we are running on even keel, we both do at least. We are however always in sync and understand that the up-and-down situation is for our benefit. It would be a disaster if we were both miserable at once!

Such is our devotional life too. God allows one to take a step further first in order to lead the other up the staircase to spiritual maturity, one step at a time. He let us us take turns all the time. I believe this is important so that we may learn the processes in order to teach others.

I was blessed in being given the first step when we were baptized in the Holy Spirit. There was no overpowering force or bright light or angels singing hymns. There was simply a peace that transcends all and I just knew that the Holy Spirit was there. Since then I could simply ask for His presence and He would be there.

The same applies to God speaking to us. I do not hear His voice, I just know in my heart and in my mind that He has spoken and that He has kissed His baby.

It was during prayer that He told me to write this book. My mind was very far away from books, in fact I had given up on the idea entirely. I was halfway through a sentence, praying and I just stopped and I knew.
