Sharing the Journey

          Yesterday I was so excited because I found myself in a place with God from which I could freely commune with Him and therefore with you, my reader.  But today, less than twenty-four hours later, I was feeling cold and disconnected again.

After writing and publishing “ From The Shepherd’s Heart ” I was excited and ready to do great works for the Lord. When He freed me from my day job to focus completely on Him and the ministry He’d given me I was overjoyed. I was ready to do something great for the kingdom. Imagine my frustration when by way of instruction, Holy Spirit simply sa
