I got home today from speaking in Appomattox, VA over the weekend. It was such an anointed and blessed time ... the first women's event Mt.Comfort Methodist Church has ever done. They were so excited and full of enthusiasm. You know, it never ceases to amaze me how the Lord will bring different things out in my speaking. It's like the recipe always stays the same, but the measurements differ each time I share. Last night, I spent some time talking about hypothetical thinking and how Satan uses it to heap guilt on our hearts. Any time you start down the road of "what if I would have done this ... or that ... maybe things would have turned out differently." When those thoughts reach maturity in us the constant conclusion is, "This is all my fault!"
I've never talked about that before, and when it was over last night, a woman came forward to have counseling ... and she shared how for the last three weeks she had been eaten up with hypothetical thoughts and she didn't know how to handle them. Her "friend", a man she had been seeing for the past 6 weeks, took his life after leaving her home for the evening. What's worse, he also took the life of his ex-girlfriend. This poor woman was in such turmoil ... it was mind-boggling. However, the Lord knew she'd be there and that she needed to hear about the dangers of feeding hypothetical thinking. Is that the coolest thing, or what??? God always knows what cream needs to rise to the top of my testimony. I pray that I always feel His leading and sense His prompting with such clarity and purpose.
I love this call on my life. Praise His HOLY name!
I also got to see a house that was built in 1775. It was a three-story white colonial and it looked just like it was taken out of the movie, The Patriot. It might have been in there. It looked so familiar. BEAUTIFUL!!
More later. Off to bed to recoup from the trip. My right eye is twitching like crazy. I hate that! Means I need sleep. Lots o' it.
Big hugs,
