I Found Comfort....In Him

John 15:7King James Version (KJV)

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

 



 

I am so excited about 2013! This new year promises to be about welcomed changes and challenges that will continue to allow me to grow. My desire is to increase my level of writing and to challenge myself more. I want to be closer to the Lord, and I desire my writings to reflect that.

Recently, I have written complete blog posts in my head and when I sat to pen them, the words would literally disappear! At first I thought I had so much on my mind, it was hard to concentrate. But when this phenomenon wouldn't past, I knew in my Spirit something else was going on. Something had to change....but what?

The year 2012 began with a class titled, "Luke 1:38" facilitated by my Pastor and First Lady. This class challenged me to identify and conquer any situations, experiences and strongholds that kept me from deepening my relationship with God. Through a willing spirit, even when the process was invasive and confrontational, I allowed the Lord to remove the "stuff".

I wrote and cried, while in the tunnel.

I wrote and prayed, while in the tunnel.

I wrote and rejoiced, while in the tunnel.

I wrote and worshipped , while in the tunnel.

The Lord kept me while I was in the tunnel.

My first post in 2010 I wrote I stated, "It is not intended that we remain in the tunnel." Solace In The Tunnel

Those words were fitting when I realized that my spirit was restless because I was no longer in the tunnel. I knew I had to change the title, but I had no idea to what. Several names floated in my head as I tried to give the blog a completely different name.

While at work, it hit me like a ton of bricks...Solace.....and then the word " comfort" kept storming in my head. My heart was racing with excitement! The Lord simply required me to remove the word tunnel and to acknowledge that I am abiding in Him now. I am finding comfort in Him now. Praise God!

On Sunday, I had the priviledge of introducing a first time visitor to the congregation. I asked, "Your name please?"...She responded, "Comfort"

Confirmation...
