Psalm 138:3 - Joanne!!!!!

My view from “The Chair” this morning - Psalm 138:3.  Standing in the presence of God on the YWAM base in Perth, Australia with 150+ hungry souls is life altering.  The music starts and voices rise.  Closing my eyes, I drink deeply of the symphony of voices and dialects from all over this planet.  They are all focused on worshiping our God.  It is marvelous.  It is heaven on this side of eternity.  It is something my soul longs to drink deeply of.  I am carried into the ocean of His presence.  That is when I hear Him.  He is just repeating my name.  Can I just be honest, I’m not really sure how we ended up in Perth, Australia other than we just wanted to visit the country and others had recommended this base.  I’ve been asking God to really confirm some things this summer.  I don’t want to be wasteful with His resources and if I’m headed in the wrong direction, then I need Him to redirect.  Worship continued for an hour.  As it ended, I made my way back to a table to work on some writing stuff.  That was when she appeared.  Joanne, strolls up and we start talking and then she says, “I don’t know you, but when I saw you on Friday and then this morning, the Lord gave me this word for you.”  She proceeded to speak to me and the tears instantly started.  At this moment, my heart is so completely full.  To think that He reached through time and space; over language and continent barriers; to speak to me blows my mind.  My soul is now filled with His strength and I know that I know that I know I am in the center of what He has for me, regardless of how it “feels”.

If you are needing answers from our Father, I can testify to the fact that He hears you!  Don’t give up.  He will make it clear to you and in that clarity your soul will be strengthened and you will receive boldness to go on!  I would love to pray with you for answers.  Feel free to share or just add your name in the comments and I will add my prayers to yours.  Our God is faithful and He will not leave you without direction.  Until We Chat Again, The Plank-Eyed Girl
