It was good. No doubt. No complaints.
As I reflect, I recall the Word that I had from the Lord and that I had for the Lord.
"Allow God to pour into me until I was overflowing."
"Learn to Host His Presence"
I feel as though, in ways that I didn't expect, God poured his wisdom and knowledge into me throughout the whole year. In situations that most would just assume was a normal moment, for me, was God-breathed moments. Comments from children, the way the clouds would align in the sky, staring at red lights, extra traffic, cashier comments, all year long God was showing me things that I had never seen. I believe mostly because I was expecting Him to speak. I was anxiously looking to hear and know more from Him.
I don't feel like I hosted His presence every day of my life. I sense that this Word will continue on for 2016. It isn't something I am just going to be a novice at within one year. This may be a seasonal Word that I have for some time. But, just having it on my mind I believe is improvement on my part. To walk in His presence every single day of my life so much so that just walking in a gas station, clocking in at work, or going to the grocery store changes my surroundings. This will definitely take conscious effort UNTIL it becomes second nature to me and I just walk in it with no thought.
.....to be continued.
