A Southern Gal

1 Corinthians 2:9 (NLT) - No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.

I think I’m a Southern gal.  I gravitate toward the passion of authors and speakers with Southern roots – spirit filled and showing it!  Not all the time, but some days I’m so full of God’s spirit my heart could burst and I find myself soaring on eagle’s wings.  I can’t describe it any other way.  Those Bible writers knew what they were talking about.  I run and don’t grow faint!

This breakthrough happened just before this blog started as a simple email sent to 8 friends.  I had just finished a study that required daily guided Scripture reflection with a few questions to ponder.  As a rule follower I thrive on an assignment and deadline, so (almost) daily I spent time really thinking about and applying God’s Word.  Not just learning, but using it.  That assignment was life changing.

I began to feel a very real connection.  God had already prepared me with lots of knowledge through study, but something changed.  I believed the knowledge enough to trust His promises and little by little, to lean on them.  And true to His Word, God filled me with more than I could have imagined. 

And all I want is for you to experience the amazing life He has prepared for you too!  I’d like to place my hands on your shoulders and shake you!  God has exciting, fulfilling, beyond amazing plans for you!  Even if I keep quiet, the stones will cry out!  Let’s bring a little passion to New England!
