As I have lived through these past two weeks,
I have realized that it would be so easy to stay home and immerse myself in the garden.
I am happy in solitude because I always have God to talk with and I trust His counsel.
But God is calling me to step out of my comfort zone and put myself out there.
My devotional reading for Sunday, April 28th addressed Matthew 28:19-20,
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit,
and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
Marva J. Dawn wrote that the original Greek version of verse 19 literally says,
“While you are going, be making disciples.”
She closed her devotional reading with this prayer:
Triune God, teach us, and empower us, to share our faith with joy . . . Amen
I have decided to share my faith,
to invite “whosoever will” to join me on this journey.
This journey through the dark valley was not my plan.
But I trust that nothing touches me that doesn’t go through God first.
Either He sent it
or He allowed it
for HIS purpose.
I journal every day. It keeps me focused on God.
These are the writings I will be sharing.
I will share my conversations with God,
my thoughts,
my struggles,
and my triumphs.
Because I trust that God will bring me through the dark valley
and I will once again walk in the sunlight.
