a new season of us


Living in Colorado I finally realize that seasons come and go. There was a season when all God did was speak to me, give me dreams and ideas. He would wake me up and pour thoughts and words into me. I know it sounds crazy, but I was doing ministry far above what I was humanly capable of. God allowed me to speak to hundreds of youths and lead thousands of people into His presence through music. That is crazy in itself for someone like me. Bottom line is that it was ALL GOD. I gave Him a willing heart and He took over. I am SO thankful for that season.

That season ended as I entered a valley. I have gone through a myriad of feelings and emotions since I moved from ministry and all I knew and loved to follow my husbands lead. Frustration with that situation left me listening only to my own complaints. I no longer heard God like I once did because I was getting in the way. I sadly confess I let it overtake me. I never walked away from the Lord, but, somehow I was side-swiped and am still trying to get back to where I once was. The good news - God is calling me again. I feel Him tugging at my heart. I know it's a matter of time as I make more time to really seek His face I will hear His voice again like I once did. And a new season of US will begin!

Wonderful Rheada! How amazing is it that so much fruit has been reproduced from that willing heart of yours? Who knew that I would be doing what I'm doing (Your old job, haha) because of the amazing woman that YOU are and God using YOU to reach me. I can't wait to see the EVEN GREATER things that God will do in your life and in your family.
