"It's official!"

Stepping Out in RED Shoes!

- Day 51 -

Someone asked me recently if I thought my life was in balance.  Really?  Heck no!  I'd say praying 3 or 4 hours a day, every day,  puts me way out on a limb.  But you do crazy things when you're in love.  Do I have to fight to stay out here?  Absolutely!  No one's flesh wants to be out on a limb -- alone.  Only I'm not alone.  I'm out here with God.  Yup... It's totally crazy!  My heart is wide open and vulnerable, and the Holy Ghost is pouring into it, an unlimited supply of the Father's love!   Yeah... I'm not leaving anytime soon.  Maybe never!

Whenever I visit my mom and we go out for lunch, we always take a stroll along Main Street.  We can't resist peeking in the windows of all the little antique shops.  She does this thing where she links into me.  She wraps her arm in mine and we cuddle close while we walk, quietly talking and laughing as we go.  Recently, I was somewhere with my daughter, and she did the exact same thing.  There's something very warm and intimate about that posture.  It's simply wonderful!  

Today, as I stepped out in my RED sneakers to do my prayer walk, I asked the Lord to link in with me.  It's not enough any more to walk along with Jesus.  I want to be linked together.  I want to press close to Him, so that we can hear each other's whispers.  I want to be close enough to hear Him breathe and feel His heartbeat all at the same time!  

Even now, as I get ready to retire for the evening, I can feel His presence around me.  I feel safe.  I feel loved.  My heart is beating wildly in my chest.  God is good -- so good!   I know that this courtship is for a purpose.  I never dreamed that Divine Partnership would be like this.  It's bigger and better than I ever could have imagined.  I'm reminded of that verse...

"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more 

than all we ask or imagine, according to 

His power that is at work within us..."

Ephesians 3:20

I think I can safely say... It's official!   

The Lord & I  -- We're a couple!
