Good Morning Girls!  Remember me?!  It's been 33 days since I last sat down to write.  A lot has changed in those 33 days.  I am not going to get into it all right now.  I'm sure bits and pieces will come out through my writing over the next few days and weeks ahead. 

 Hey-there's one change already!......the fact that I feel confident in saying I will be writing in the upcoming days and weeks ahead!  My source of confidence is not in myself.  I have no idea how I am going to write daily, as suddenly my schedule is getting more and more full.  It's a confidence that comes only from the Lord.  One of those times where you just know as you know that "it's time". 
I'm sure many of you have experienced it before.  You had been desiring to start or stop something.  Many it was a diet (desiring to stop in my case lol).  Maybe a bad habit, or even an addiction.  Maybe a new job....or a new house.  Whatever it may have been, the timing never seemed right.  There were too many obstacles.  Too many fears.  Maybe you even tried and failed. 

Perhaps you had these desires stirring in your heart for awhile.  And then you felt things beginning to "line up" around your situation.  Someone gave you a book on the very thing you were thinking about.  You were invited to a service that spoke directly to your heart.  You just "happened" to stumble on a particular verse that seemed to have been written specifically for you and only you....thousands of years ago.   

There are many little things that can start the "stirrings".....that initial SPARK!!! that gets the fire going.  Sometimes the spark is a low and slow burn for a while before you actually see flames.   Other times POOF! instant fire any Boy Scout of America would be proud of!  It reminds me of the song  I used to sing at church camp 30 years ago(YIKES! 30?) .......It only takes a spark....to get a fire go-ing...........

I just got back from Washington a week ago.  At the time there was a fire ban.  Do you know why?  Because fires can easily spread.  One minute they are contained and then suddenly they have spread and wiped out an entire forest!  Girls, I pray that as you read this today, you get a little SPARK! in your heart.  It may be the start of a low and slow fire, or it may be a wildfire.  Either way, may the Lord stir you up, light you up, and get your heart ready for what He is about to do in your life!

Anyone got a marshmallow and roasting stick.......I'm suddenly in the mood for a s'more........

James 3:5 But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire.........

Love, peace, sparks and flames to you all,
Jen
