God Puts A Song in my Heart

God Puts A Song in my Heart

Comments 0 Comment

I absolutely love how God speaks to me through song. God will use whatever means necessary to reach his children. Gospel music will often help usher in the Holy Spirit…not that He needs any help, but it helps till the soil so to speak. Lately, God has been speaking to my heart through a particular song, and I’ve been singing it over and over.

In part, the lyrics say, “…there’s a pressing in the spirit…” I love that song. Every time I hear it I’m reminded of how much God loves me. I woke up singing that song the other day, and sang it all the way to work. I know that whenever that happens God has taught my spirit something as I slept. The funny thing is that a lot of times He doesn’t reveal it to me right away. I have grown to trust Him so much that I no longer try to figure it out.

I know that part of it is because I was asked to do something that He didn’t want me to do….yet. I have a tendency to get caught up in someone else’s excitement. God has given them a vision and our spirits will connect…the next thing you know, I’m knee-deep in a place I shouldn’t be. This time, God was saying that I have something for you and it’s not that, and this time I listened.

My brothers and sisters…know that when God has something for you not even your procrastination can stop it. We will oftentimes prolong our journey by taking turns we shouldn’t take. God is so patient with us. He loves us and wants to bless us…so, He waits for us to realize our place and then He moves us into it.  For me, that means that He waits until I sleep, because that is when my heart is open to Him. His way of letting me know everything is going to be alright is He will wake me with a song. That lets me know that He heard…He knows…and He is still in control. I love when He does that….

Until next time…

Be blessed

My Dream Wasn’t His Dream

My Dream Wasn’t His Dream

Looking at my life, I started wondering how I got here. Why I am who I am, and why I do, or don’t do certain things. But really what I was looking at was my physical life. Not my spiritual life. That…I have no doubts about. I noticed that my physical life didn’t quite stack up to what I had envisioned my life would be like at this point. 

I always believed that my husband and I would live our lives doing exactly what we had dreamed about. He would play music, I would write lyrics, and we would make beautiful music together. But that wasn’t God’s plan.

What I realized is that I hadn’t consulted God at all. I figured it was my dream, so He must have given it to me, right? The Bible says that He will give us the desires of our hearts. Wait. Was that really our desire, or was it my desire? I don’t know. I think I may have assumed that it was my husband’s desire. Hmmm?

Unfortunately, I will never know, because he went home to be with the Lord. But what I do know is that he loved me so much that he would have done just about anything to make me happy…even cosign a dream he didn’t dream. He was definitely my hype man…lol.

So I guess even if my life is not what I envisioned, and I don’t always do the things I should…it is still a good life. God still has a plan for me. It would be better if he were here, but I know that his spirit is with me. I feel him pushing me. Telling me to go to all of the places he wanted to take me, and to walk out all of those things I dreamed about. 

And I promise to do everything I can to make him proud.

Until next time…

Be blessed,.
