I have been piling up notes, stories, commentaries, praise and prayers since I moved here to Bedford and left Louisville behind me. Still praying for my friends and asking the Lord to move - yes - but my own life, going forward began to call me.

And, call He Did. Answer, I Did. Busy. Life changing days and worship - honestly, I was so sure I would sit down every few days and write write write. So much was happening inside me and my life for Christ. My life with Jim and Jerri and this town.

Now I've Done it.

I have to write and I have to start at the end: Now I am leaving. 
After the Revivals.
After the Revelations.
After the Relationships.
After the Rest.
Suddenly, I am leaving. 
And I have to start here, Today. After leaving The Remnant Church here in town for the last time until I come back to visit. Pastor Justin and I shed a tear or two. Then only rejoicing.

I thought this would be my forever home. I thought, asking for a receiving a strategic move to open their home back to them, and yet being able to stay under their wings and protection, that Bedford and Right Here specifically, would be a forever home-base from which to travel and return.

I asked for guidance, for two weeks. And I saw the same vision: A tiny house tucked away up along the border of Jim and Jerri's beautiful property. You know, aligned with their cabin-country look, out of the way but still here too. I saw the same house, (I had been physically shopping and looking) and so I entered into the conversation - SURE.

Well, I could tell by the way dear Jimmy was patiently turning his ever-present coffee cup that this was not what they were thinking. And, along with the crush of my expectations and thinking I was a ligned with the Holy Spirit - came for the most loving and Christ-filled conversation of - NO.

I wish it had been quietly and secretly recorded, beacuse all of us would delight in our way between ourselves, even under  a slight duress or unexpected change. I let go of Jim's hand and openewd my hand up to say I have to let go to let Him lead. I mean, I was all about that anyway, but really, now I was in the shock of: Alone. Next. What. Where. How.

It was a loving conversation: God did NOT have to cut the rivers off behind me to instigate this change. I am so sure Jesus was staring down at us three and smiling, nodding His precious head, saying Yes.
Still I don't know or understand the clarity of the response as I asked for so many days, and even checked into my own desires and ask God to clarify over and over. Another day that will be made clear to me. And I will write it down.

SoI went upstairs and as my old life would say "Processed", and fell immediately into this great life I know, this great joy and solution-base I know - My Lord and I hit my knees and said Yes Lord, I am ready. yes Lord, put me in whereever YOU call my destiny. My Ministry. I suddenly know.. it is time.

I suddenly knew that so many things in my life added up, evenaskew, to this moment because God has ALWAYS His OWN Vision of our lives, as Pastor Justin said just today in church. 

To share the magnificence of how the Lord walked me through this moment - and how quickly - well, you have to read the next entry!
