I walked into my bedroom to find that Sam had decided to take over my spot on the bed. 😄❤❤

I am reading Gary Comer's book, Soul Whisperer.
In it, he says that we are empowered to do the Lord's work by what we have gone through.
God takes our brokenness, comforts us, and then redeems it for his redemptive plan.
Your life becomes a bridge for the gospel. Do not underestimate the significance of how your story connects.

Identification + Insight = Impact

Juliette

About a month ago, I posted about a girl in France named Juliette. I almost unfollowed her because of some really inappropriate things she was posting on Twitter.

Last night she sent me a direct message asking me about God. She also had questions about sex, and if I think homosexuality is a sin.

I answered her questions the best way I knew how, and when she stopped responding, I didn't pressure her to talk any further. I see God's hand in this, and I will wait on Him to open more doors for further discussion with her.

An important question

I clearly heard God's voice. He asked me a very poignant question:

"Why do you settle for mediocrity when I sent my Son to give you abundant life"?

Very convicting, but what a privilege to have the King of kings speak to you! 🙌🙌

Fellowship

Had a great day of Christian fellowship yesterday.
First, I had lunch with one of my closest friends and accountability partner.

Then, that evening, I went to recovery small group at church. I had a great time connecting with these Christian women who are also in recovery.
We talked and laughed about all the ridiculous things we've done and still do!
Knowing that God's grace covers it all. 🙌🙌

Sometimes there are no words needed between friends.

This little frog merely hanging on to the flower pistil is a good reminder for me to stop complaining about what I don't have, and instead accept, with a grateful heart, what has been given to me!
🙌😁🐸🌹

I had a really difficult time with my OCD today. I had some workers in my house and was in a tailspin for two hours.

What do I do now?
I think Philippians 3:13&14 answers this question:

Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what's ahead. I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. 🙌🙌

I will lie down and sleep in peace. For you alone, Lord make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8.

Contract and book contribution

I received the contract from Dorrance Publishing.
When I saw it was almost 15 pages, I realized that I am smart enough to know that I have no business trying to read and comprehend a 15 page contract! 😂😂

So, I sent it to my financial advisor, who has a meticulous eye for detail. He said it's an excellent contract. I got it signed and sent back to Dorrance!

Today at noon, a lady from the U.K. is going to call me. Her name is Josie Millar and she is a psychologist who specializes in OCD. I am going to be contributing to her book! So excited and grateful for this opportunity! 🙌🙌

Oscar movies

Last night, my friend Amy and I watched I, Tonya. We both thought it was just okay.

Tonight, I'm watching Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri. VERY good!

Excited to watch the Academy awards tomorrow and find out the winners!
