Passing this one along from Kelley----


After last time (the Groovy Tuesdays) met, I had really been feeling down and under persecution for a couple of weeks. I have tried to stay in God’s word and be obedient and fast and pray. The day after I met with you all, I had a very clear impression from the Lord that I should go “apologize” to the people who had been angry with me because even though they were really spiteful to me, I had hurt them somehow. (Priscilla Shirer's) Bilbe Study has really been speaking to me in such a perfect way as God confirms what he is telling me in that and in his word. I have always heard God’s voice, but I really love this study and how it has helped me so specifically to hear the Lord during this time!

“God’s voice and His Word lead me to peaceable relationship with others.”

“”God’s voice comes with such force and weight that it makes a resonating impact on your human conscience.”

(Priscilla Shirer)

And so I got the guts up to go talk to these people and the Lord went with me. I apologized for hurting them and told them I wanted to clear the air. I didn’t change any of my decisions, but they were really receptive and thankful that I came over to talk. God is so good. I walked away with a ton of bricks off my back. I never even thought of this as a solution. But God knew best. A gentle answer turns away wrath. As God whispered this in my ear, I knew he was right!

So my hope is that my last year coaching can be a positive season still. I still am going to be obedient to what I think God has called me to do, which is to step down so that he can do something new in me and my life.

Here is the quote I was referring to by Priscilla Shirer.

“The Lord wants to do something new in your life. What He has accomplished in your life has been extraordinary, but He doesn’t want you to cling to it anymore. He has something new for you, your family, and your ministry.”

Thanks so much friends!!!
