I once heard a sermon entitled "Are you someone the Holy Spirit can trust?" In other words, do you listen and obey? Funnily enough I had a really cool experience along those lines with a stranger at Starbucks this week and wrote a blogpost about it. It is wonderful to know you can be used - daily.<br />Battered Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084857421183756543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-84941449148934482272015-06-24T15:27:02.474-07:002015-06-24T15:27:02.474-07:00Amen, Kathy!

When I have the time to just sit on it, it seems that the Spirit comes to make it all so clear. It's so amazing, isn't it? I love your new ending! <br /><br />Please let us know what your publisher thinks, okay?

As a writer I can recall some times where what I was needing to write seemed to write itself; the same can be said for my sermons. When it comes to my sermons, I try to be open to the Spirit's leading as I'm preaching; therefore, I can "stray" a bit from my manuscript.<br /><br />Love and blessings!Kim Jollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670842504983601263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-87024499001637900052015-06-23T11:37:51.779-07:002015-06-23T11:37:51.779-07:00Beautiful Martha!

Also agree with you there are those times when you definitely know He is speaking to and through you. I have seen that recently and it continually blows me away (and it is not in a sermon). :)Bill (cycleguy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09082407231475058958noreply@blogger.com
