Dear God,
I believe You are my Heavenly Father who loves, and cares, and provides for me. I believe Your Holy Spirit lives in me and I in You. I believe Your son Jesus is always with me, guiding, protecting, and inspiring me.
I believe it is time to tell the true story about the spiritual experience You blessed me with in 1991, as I am thinking about it now.
I was in my bedroom writing. I don’t remember what it was or if it was to someone, but I do remember a man I had recently met came to mind.
As I sat at the beautiful old desk that was in my room and writing, all of a sudden I felt something happen to me that was truly miraculous. It was so powerful that I had to hold on to the desk with both hands. Tears fell like a waterfall down my face for the amazing beauty of it.
This feeling was like someone from above was pouring liquid love in through the top of my head, and filled me up to overflowing, through every part of my body, and spilled out through every pore. It was the most beautiful loving feeling I have ever experienced.
Several times after that when I thought of that person, I experienced the strength and beauty of that loving feeling again. I also realized that it made me feel more loving toward others, including my mother. Many times I felt very conflicted about why that would happen when thinking of someone I did not want to think about. I finally accepted that it wasn’t a feeling for that person, but may have been the catalyst to allow the Holy Spirit to fill me up with that feeling of the power of God’s love.
I think of this today as I have recently been feeling an amazing sense of joyful expectation within my spirit. It is a sense within my being of something special You, my Heavenly Father, have in store for me as Your Holy Spirit guides me on the path You want for me.
I believe I have been pruned, and gifted with Your blessings that I may share my life, my gifts, and love with others.
I believe there will be a new place, new people, new experiences that will inspire and encourage me on a new journey.
I believe the new journey You have planned for me is about to begin.
I believe that my walk with Jesus is about to take me where I cannot even imagine for myself.
I now also believe in me, myself.
I now also believe in my spirit, my dreams.
I believe in You God. I believe that I can do all with You, because I believe.
WOW! Keep writing about your journey – how inspiring!

Your faith is very evident. I pray all of the time but I am wondering if God is listening.

Oh He is listening Regis, and working out things for you in the background.
Sometimes what we are asking for, the answer may be affect someone else’s life and that may need to be fixed by Him first. Or, it may be there is something we need to fix in our own lives first. God’s timing works out better for us in the long run, even though we don’t know it. It took 7 years of praying about getting my house in Georgia sold so I could move here to Greenville South Carolina which finally happened last November.
And sometimes we don’t get what we ask for because God has something WAY BETTER for us. Keep the Faith, and keep praying in praise and THANKSGIVIING. We always pray when we want or need something, but how many times do we say Thank You. I am grateful everyday for His blessings, including those I don’t know about.
