Confession

When I posted last I kept meaning to come back and tell the story of how I was given that word from God. I slept in that Sunday. I woke up around 1:3opm. I started feeling bad about not going to church, so I decided I do one of my lessons in a Bible study book I have. Thinking it would take 10-15 minutes at most, and then I could go on with my day guilt-free. (I'm ashamed to admit it but that's really how I felt. I really thought spending just 15 minutes with God would make me feel better about not going to church that day. Crazy, I know.) Anyway, I read the passages, wrote in the journal section, and starting writing in the prayer section. As I was writing out the prayer God started speaking to me about sin and how truly silly it is that we sin in the first place. He started speaking so fast that I had to stop Him and get paper and pen. As I sat outside writing all that I heard God was taking me to different verses all over the Bible. It was amazing! I don't think I've ever heard God so clearly as I did that afternoon. When I went outside it was 2pm, and when I finished writing all that God showed me and went inside it was 6:22pm! I couldn't believe it. I thought I had been outside for at most an hour. Me thinking 15 minutes max, God turned into over 4 hours with Him. He has such a sense of humor!

I just thought I'd share how I received the message I put up. May you have a great and blessed day! Love you all!
