Why We Blog...

This blog is born because we, who have been with Christ, cannot contain our joy and excitement as we know Him more and hear His voice. We must share with each other what He is saying and doing! So this blog is created to connect the Body of Christ and to bring glory to His name. This is a place to share scripture, words of encouragement to the Body, stories of God's work in your life, hymns and spiritual songs, as well as, testimonies of what God is teaching you through time with Him and prayer requests. Please share only what will encourage, unify, and spur us on to fullness in Christ. Be mindful that almost anyone may read this. We pray this will be a tool that brings God glory, unifies His children, and is a light in the darkness. If you'd like to be an auther, email Michelle. Otherwise, follow and be sure to comment!

Ok, I have been meaning to get on here and write for a while now. So many thoughts swirling through my head. I hope I can get it all down!

First of all, I want to thank each of you personally. I want all of you to know that you have played an integral part in the healing of my heart and returning joy back to my life!! I feel like I am alive again. For the first time in 2 1/2 years, I feel like I have joy back in my life. I use to wake up in the morning and tell myself, "you will be happy today...you will feel joy." Now, I wake up in the morning and the joy is there....without me forcing it! Oh my goodness, it is so refreshing. You all have used your God-given gifts to minister to me and to help me heal. We all know that God is big enough to do things on His own. But, we also know that God likes to use His people, the Body of Christ, to reach those who are hurting and broken. Michelle, I know why God prompted me to go to you that morning in church. He knew that I needed you and the rest of our group! Michelle, your gift of prophesy amazes me. You have told me things, through God speaking through you, that have completely swept me off of my feet! You are speaking to my soul. Please continue using your gift. The results of you using your gift are like ripples in water....so many lives will be changed! I am one of them!

It doesn't stop there! I witnessed the gift of encouragement through Jen G. The gift of faith through Andrea. The gift of mercy through Mary. The gift of encouragement through Allison. The gift of encouragement through Tammy. There are so many others. I could write a book about this! But, I just want you all to know, that it works! When the Body of Christ is united, and people are using their God-given gifts, amazing things happen. Healing happens. Hope and joy are restored. Hallelujah!!

    Michelle, I tried posting a comment here for you last week and just now saw that it never posted. :( Your writing is beautiful. When I read your words, I hear the love of the Lord flowing through you. The peace that you've gained from Him is not of this world. It's a peace offered only by Him and accepted only by a heart willing to submit to Him and trust Him, even in the midst of chaos and distress. I love you and am honored to be a part of your journey in this life and in the next!!!! Jen
