John's Journal Day 11
I had originally thought to myself I would take today off just because I felt I needed a break. But I need to have disciple. I agreed to do this one day at a time for 14 CONSECUTIVE days so...... Had a great day at church today.The church and the people haven't changes but I can tell I'm beginning to...I'm coming out of hiding again. Joined a Sunday school class today where I had been making excuses that I could not get there on time. Then went back for the church supper tonight and sat and had some good conversations with people who I had told myself that they didn't really want to know me...and they did!
Anyways; the Holy Spirit I have to say is something I never really understood.I have wondered if it was my conscience or the still small voice or what? I had shared with some folks that i have been having talks with Him and tried the pulled out chair method. Still so much to learn and now some to share in the new Holy Spirit journal I am starting. Looking back at today though I believe the Spirit was who impressed upon me the need to become a part of my church and not just an attender.Both with the Sunday school and the dinner I tried (Actually the enemy) to talk me out of going but I BELIEVED this was from God so I went and found out the truth of the matter...that I was more than welcome. So I believe that was the Holy Spirit guiding me and telling me the truth...and I believe it was the Spirit that led me to do my study today.I am glad I listened and obeyed.

Only those who obey can believe and only those who believe can obey.

I'm glad you listened and obeyed too. What an exciting journey you are on! Makes me want to shout for joy!
Sorrow looks back, Worry looks around, But faith looks up! Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and trust in our Creator who loves us.
