Playing It Safe Is Risky Business

Flying at 30,000 feet and the destination was Colorado Springs. I was trying to block out what was going on around me so to really get into the book that I was trying to read. If you fly very much you know that can be a real challenge. Then in my spirit loud and clear I heard, change your message. I began to scribble on the back of my travel itinerary every thing the Holy Spirit was telling me. I changed my message and God moved in a big way.
I lost count of the women who came up to me after I spoke to let me know how God had used the message in their life. Then I got home and received this email below.

My name is …… and I just wanted to tell you that on Wednesday when you were at 30,000 feet hearing God ask you to change your message for the Women Reaching Women conference in Colorado Springs, I was also at 30,000 feet praying that God would have a special word just for me. I know that message was for me. God has blessed me with amazing mentors, bible study opportunities and training. I have used these tools to serve, but I've been serving at arm's length. With God's help, I will strive to jump into the chaos, risk being hurt and find a whole new depth of joy. Thank you for being sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading and obedient to His call. Sorry I didn't pray a little earlier!

What an awesome loving God we serve!

finding out that at age 51 if it were not for the Sovereign Lord moving in my behalf the next years ahead of me would have been a absolute waste of this God given life and gift my Lord said i can live much more fulfilled in and with. I am forever thankful for choosing the good life abundently when i was asked to pick, just in time. I beleive Beth Moore calls them MOMENTS> which is whay I need not question God really hearing the desires of my heart as they align with scripture. I just am glad to have women make me want to allow my actions speak louder than my words in some cases when it times for the right change forward and up. thanks Jesus for the woemn of faith and the move of the Holy Ghost and my preciuos BIBLE.stopped listening to the voices of the World and decided the Wordsof God, will make ALL things much better. Pursuing rightousness and love and attaining life, prosperity and honor. Thanks all my sisters in Christ Love you alot, Holy Spirit is Great in good positive faithfulness.

~Comatose, 'entertained-to-death' humans
must wake up and learn how to defend themselves
from their worst enemies {not your fellow human beings},
and have a real, natural, life for the 1st time in a century,
learning what real love is {Agapeo, phileo, eros}
and that it isn't applied to lower life forms {flora & fauna} or
possessions/material things
that have no soul, but for The Maker of All Things [GOD] and each
other, equally~
