This New Chapter: Title Unknown

I know that not long ago, within the past year, if I had to guess, I turned a "proverbial page" in the book of my life. It has been only recently, in the past three or four days, that I have realized that I am clearly living in a new chapter of my life journey. The only problem is that I have yet to discover what the title of this chapter is.

At once, this realization regarding this newest chapter relieved me (I had been wondering what was the matter with me) and disconcerted me (why is it that I have yet to understand what kind of chapter this is?).

If I'm being honest, I've known there has been a change in certain areas of my life--primarily my thinking about my destiny and calling--but I haven't been able to "put my finger on it," as the saying goes.

This new chapter has much to do with my spiritual walk. It has much to do with my calling, my purpose, my destiny.

While I feel certain that God has willed this new chapter in my life, I'm not certain at all about what I'm supposed to do and when (let alone how).

I need clarity, and if you are reading this and you are a praying person, I humbly ask you to pray for me. For clarity--and direction--and the courage to do whatever He has called me to do.

There are a number of things that are on my heart, that I am seeking Him about. I need to know which and what He REALLY has designed for me to do. I don't have time to sit idly by as time races by. I don't have time to waste. This is the latter portion of my life's book, after all. At the minimum, we are about to hit the climax, right? I want to make sure that I finish strong, as He wishes. I want Him to be proud of me, pleased with me.

Please help me pray that I will hear a DIRECT WORD from Him. I need confirmation from the Lord. I need to know what to do. Because I know time is short. He is coming for us. I want to be READY when he calls. No regrets.

No regrets.

Thank you for your prayers, and for reading this. I appreciate it very much and pray the Lord bless you for your prayers.

Peace.

Alarming CNN Headline & My Facebook Response to It

My Facebook response to the CNN headline, "ISIS Targets Christians":

"Into the darkness You shine! Out of the ashes we rise!
There's no one like You, none like You!
Our God is greater, our God is stronger! God You are higher than any other!
Our God is Healer, Awesome in Power, Our God! Our God!
Our God is greater, our God is stronger, God you are higher than any other!
Our God is Healer, Awesome in Power, Our God! Our God!
And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?!?
And if our God is with us, then what could stand against?!?"
I Corinthians 15:55
