a word from the Lord

I went to church yesterday but to a service I don't usually attend. It was nice to see some people I know but don't usually see … it's funny how that is at a church with more than 1 service. There was an older couple there (and by older I mean older than me - not too many grey hairs there!) that my husband and I have had dinner with once a few months ago. Super awesome people from what I can tell. I hoped that after the service we would get to have a conversation … but what I received was way cooler!!

The husband pulled me aside … with his wife there… and spoke a prophecy to me that the Lord spoke to him during church. He said this…

I saw a picture of you … you were in a group of disciples walking with the Lord … and your normal role with Jesus has been to be a scout… Someone who goes ahead of the group, to find food, shelter and the right path. But I see the Lord calling you back to himself… He desires you not to go ahead for now, but to be with the group of disciples back with Jesus … to learn and grow with them … and to receive instruction and comfort from the Lord.

Super cool - right?!!

I can't say that I was thinking about what was next for me … but I also can't say that I haven't thought about it somewhat. It's hard not to when you have moved to a new place, and you just wonder why God brought YOU here … what does He have for ME to do?

As I look back over my year I can definitely see God pulling me back. There has been so much isolation, quiet … though not necessarily calm for me internally … circumstances have been good. I can see how God has even kept things quiet in regards to friendships … there have been some women I have tried to pursue in regards to mentoring and learning from them, and yet God has even kept those at bay. It has not been until recently that I felt I can attempt to get together with some of them again. So we'll see what happens…

Anyhow, I am super excited to hear that instruction and comfort and nearness to the Lord are coming my way… THAT is AWESOME news.

*Hey friends … I am going to refrain from putting 'post' in my newsfeed on FB just because it seems to be drawing too much attention - and that was never my intention. I usually write a couple times a week - so if you do follow along feel free to just check in. Comments are always appreciated too - I would love to hear what God is stirring in all of you.
