I am at a loss for words about how to start this essay I want to write about the amazing experience I have had once again with the Lord. The first time I want to meet with the Lord it was amazing this time it’s beyond words!! I literally have no idea how to tell you but I can only try.

As we Heidi, Hannah and I went on this Journey as a sister team I had no clue how it would end up. I had absolutely no idea how my dear precious, Savior, Redeemer and Lord would show up in the midst of us all.

The Spirit of the Lord was there!! I know this with all my heart beyond any shadow of a doubt. He was there. For the first time I ever felt His presence in such a real moving way it was …so close, so real, you could touch Him. He was there. He was meeting with us. He was touching lives and healing hurts. He was setting people free from bondage and sin! He was walking among us with the keys to everlasting life ready to set captives free! And one of those was my dear sister Heidi. They say there are no tears in heaven but I just can’t imagine the thought of getting there and looking for her…and her not being there. My deepest heart would be so empty even in heaven I just know it would.

When I really began to feel the Spirit of the Lord was late on Thursday night/Friday morning. I began to confess some sin with Hannah my sister. And she began to confess to me as well. Heidi was then awakened out of a deep sleep and was listening she then began to share her heart tearos poured down her eyes as she spoke her heart. She then revealed to me she never felt really burdened for her sin and that God was now giving her a repentant heart toward Him! She said,

“I have doubts and I don’t think I am saved.”

I said, “Then kneel down here by the bed Heidi…do it right now”

She jumped out of bed and onto her knees before God. I have never heard her pray so long in my life. Confessing sin one after another after another after another. She opened up her heart to God that night and received Him so fully, happily and freely into her heart and life through beautiful tears.

I was so happy, so thrilled beyond words!! I could not go to sleep that night. I could hardly get to sleep and it was like 2 in the morning and we were getting up at 6 AM! At 6 AM I was wider than wide-awake and couldn’t wait to tell Dad the good news about Heidi.

I talked to all the girls there at 6 AM the meeting time and told them “ The Spirit of the Lord is here! Don’t let Him pass you by” We then sang “Pass Me Not” You know the there was something amazing going on when we sang better as 6AM then almost the whole week!

At night we would go out under the starlit sky and sing and talk to Jesus while the snow sparkled like a princess dress under the light of the moon.

That week the girls poured out their hearts to the Lord and made commitments, vows, surrenders and want to go home and have great works they are doing for the one who set’s all free!

Hannah has a spirit of love for the Lord she cries so easy and so ready to confess sin. I am so thankful for my Redeemer! I know He lives. I can’t describe it all. I felt so happy for what He had done and so in love with Him I wanted to go outside and just dance for Jesus!! I really, really did. I am so in love with Him.

I just had a dentist appointment and had to drive a half hour there and a half hour home I didn’t want to turn on the radio but sang Hymns to the Lord the entire way! I couldn’t help it they were flowing out of my heart…. I just want to hug my Bible close, as close as I can get it to my heart lately. I just Love the One who Changes Lives!!!!

This is a verse I thought of lately as I think about the our Holy Lord meeting with us!

And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Exo 3:5

I believe we were with the Lord in a special, special way. And “we will never be the same”.

Thank you for your prayers as I will be heading out Monday March 5th to lead another group of young ladies on a “Journey” to seek God’s heart! I believe He will meet with us there. I am excited about sharing what He is going to do!
