It's Getting Quiet All of a Sudden...

Hey, I'm posting again! And without being angry at Apple or almost dying!

For those who don't know, I've been working with the kids at my church for the past several months. A little while ago, Colleen (the lady in charge) asked me to pray about stepping up into a leadership role. After spending some time in prayer, and consulting some of the wise and prophetic (prophetically wise?) people I know, I agreed.

I just sat in on my first leader's meeting tonight. It was really cool hearing some of the plans, understanding the vision a little more, and most of all hearing the stories of what the kids have been up to!

On the way home, I started thinking. I've known we've been encouraging the kids in the prophetic. So it had occurred to me earlier this week that I need to regain my prophetic edge. So I prayed about it as I put on some worship music and prepared to listen to God (BTW, soaking is hard while driving). Immediately, he spoke to me, telling me some of the reasons it's been so hard to hear him these past couple of years.

During all that TAG awesomeness, I again got my identity caught up in what I was doing for God, rather than simply in my relationship to him (the relationship He made possible, established, and maintains). This quiet period has been a time to get re-centered. From that view, it's been good. I'm glad that it will probably end soon, though.


Also, I've found another new editor for the Spiritual Gifts series. I even see him in person somewhat regularly, so if he takes too long, I can go kick his butt into gear. Of course, then he and his supra-ninja sister will destroy me, but something will be accomplished! Hmmm...maybe if I dispatch Michelle Merino to get on his case...

On a more serious note, I'm not sure where to take the series after the next post (which is on the practicals of prophesy). What would you like to learn about? I'll do my best to provide something of substance.
