Writer's Block or the Ability to Make Sense Out of My Words

      I have so much to say but have been really trying to discern what to share with everyone, someone and no one in particular. This still gives me writers block cause I do have some important things to share especially since I notice that my last entry was at the end of last year and so much has changed since that last entry. Oh, I have tried to write something or even publish what I have written but when it comes time to publish I hear that familiar still small voice telling me to wait or there is no way I should send that entry. I'm learning it is all about timing, the right audience and editing my entries.
     With all of that said, here is the down load of what is happening next in my life. I am currently still in Corinth, TX staying with my mom and youngest brother. After much prayer and counsel I am going straight to Ales, France sometime in May or June serve at the Bridges of Life YWAM base for a year at this time. There is so much expectation in this move and I am still hearing from the Lord what to expect and will share more as time goes on but for now I feel I can share the following.
     A few weeks ago the Lord had me search out in my journals a certain entry. Anytime in the past when I have thought of missions and what it will look like for my life no matter where I would see myself there were some common factors that I felt the Lord bringing to me over and over again. Coffee House/Cafe, soup kitchen, providing for the needs of others, a place/home of rest/restoration. After finding that certain entry in my journal it was a reminder of the call on my life. This call is to be a part of discipleship, teaching, serving, sharing and caring for those who need help and hope. I see this next season as a time to learn and grow and develop what it is the Lord is leading me in to long term.
     To say that I am excited is almost an understatement and I hope that as you read this and other upcoming entries that the Lord will be speaking to you about how you too can make a difference where you are living, in your neighborhood, city, state and nation. The Lord Bless you.
