I have a Feast on THE WORD Gathering at my home once a month. Well, at the one two weeks ago...my son had a special request. He asked the ladies, "Before leaving could you pray for my mom about finishing a writing project. She's really having major problems." Well, right there at the door my six sisters in Christ and my son, laid hands on me and asked God to get my creative juices a'flowin'. The resulting testimony? Talk about getting real...
Days prior, through prayer and talking with my pastor, the Holy Spirit revealed that I had not truly forgiven my mother. In addition to confirmation, my son's request and the subsequent laying on of hands shed light on the connection to my unforgiving spirit and the blockage in my writing. I needed to deal with that FIRST--forgive once for all.
I made a conscious decision to forgive my mother and once i did that (God brought an opportunity that I seized. This past Sunday, my granddaughter and I went to see my mom with her favorite food--cooked Maryland crabs in tow. From the moment my mom greeted us at the door I noticed that all twinges of resentment and uneasy feelings that I alway felt in her presence...WERE GONE. we had a blessed time together.
After that visit, the writing and a whole lot more broke loose and began to flow!!! flow and flow.
At 4:00 a.m. this morning, (7/20) I clicked "send" on and email to my agent with the "Introduction" attached for what I hope will be my next book. She asked me to write it and send it to her in March. Try as I did...it was not happening. I felt like Jacob must have felt wrestling with God and I was loosing--until I obeyed and forgave. I'm shouting my granddaughter, Michal's favorite praise, Halleleujah! Thank you, Jesus!!!!
