Sometimes my memory is not very good, so I like to write down things God has done for me. Last week I was cleaning out my email and ran across this message from a couple of years ago.
A warning light came on yesterday on my dashboard. I took it in to have it checked out. I just got a call that what should have been $800 was free because of an extended warranty on the problem part. I was lamenting this morning before I took it in, "Lord, I've been trying to be good and save money and now I've got to have my car repaired..." Like a co-worker asked me when I told her about it, When will we learn? Okay, maybe you've learned, so let me speak for myself. When will I learn?
Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
(Matthew 6:27 NKJV)
Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
(Proverbs 3:5, 6 NKJV)

In the beginning
Hello!
I like the idea of blogging. I think. I like to journal and have done so for many years. I had a blog once before but it was mostly for me. I'm hoping a few friends will agree to co-author this blog with me. More about that in a minute.
This blog is named after Mandisa's song of the same name: God Speaking. It is a beautiful and thought-provoking song that reminds us to listen for God's message in every circumstance of our lives. The idea for the URL came from a sermon I heard some years ago. Wait, first of all, let me share Psalm 34:3 in case you aren't familiar with it. It says, "O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together." I think the sermon title was Raise the Praise. The preacher talked about how we as Christians can be encouraged and uplifted simply by telling each other how good God is. Soon after hearing the sermon, a group of us started an email group called RTP! The idea was simple: we praised God together via email. I don't recall now how long it lasted or why it went away, but the blessings of that group have stayed with me and my prayer is that something similar can be achieved through this blog.
That's enough rambling for now, especially considering the time. But I wanted to get this first entry done so I can send it to my friends the potential co-authors!
May your heart overflow with joy.
