Quit. That’s a big decision. I almost quit writing… My blog, the books, my ministry on here, on FB, everywhere. Something happened last week. I am unable to share the details right at the moment, but it was big. Big enough to shake me up. I posted this on my FB author pages and my personal page … Because I wanted to be real. Real about not feeling like I could minister and mentor and encourage people from all around the world as I had been if I couldn’t even hear God’s voice clearly all the time for my own family. Here is what I shared: Going to be honest and raw and real. It is hard to spread hope when it is being attacked. Life has not been easy. The whole truth is that sometimes even I feel like not trying. Just live. Like now. I can’t even see a glimmer. Sometimes I fail. Yes. I see it. I’m failing. All that is left is prayer. Hope I have ears to hear. I was overwhelmed with love in the responses I received! God spoke. And I clearly heard. A great friend and prayer partner called me, leaving no second to waste. His outstretched arms filled with love made the miles between us disappear and the encouragement he gave made me think. He told me to “stay in the game”. I knew what He meant. Fight the good fight. I heard him loud and clear. That’s what I needed. NEEDED. Another brilliant gifted-by-God writer friend left me this message: Turn your eyes…..upon the only ONE…..I know you know it – better than anyone I know! But sometimes we attact so many bugs (the light does that), that it becomes cloudy. I am praying. YOU and Jesus shining through you, are by far, the greatest light I see in this world. Stop forgetting to remember. That was so so so sweet. But, You know what stuck out to me the most in her message? The very last line. She was right and I knew it. That’s what I needed. NEEDED. I needed to stay in the game to fight the good fight. And I needed to stop forgetting to remember. Remember that He has done for me what no one else could have and I need to share that with the world. I had numerous messages from friends that day and over the next several days. I can’t even list them all, but they all confirmed that which I NEEDED. I NEED Him. Without Him nothing is possible. With Him all things are possible. And without Him… I’m not happy. I appreciate those of you who commented and sent me messages and emails. I appreciate you like I appreciate sunshine – couldn’t see anything without the light. You were light in my burdened days last week. You were living out His love towards me. You were living in the Plan. Love you all, Heather
