CHILD LIKE FAITH

WHAT CHILD LIKE FAITH CAN DO!!!!!!!!
Most of you have heard my testimony of many things but for those of you who have not....I will give it again. If any of you had told me ten years ago I would be a poet, a songwriter or an author of books, if any had told me I would win national and international poetry contests and fly to Reno twice, if any had said I would have my songs recorded by professional artists and sent to the boys in Iraq, if any had told me I would recite my poems on two T.V. Shows, if any had said two of my songs would be made into video's and shown on cable in Hollywood, if any had said I would have a blog on the Internet and reach people for Jesus, if you had said I would be published in national magazines and write 6 articles a week for a newspaper, I would have been like Sarah and laughed in your face. But all these things have come to pass and I am not through yet. I heard a preacher teach on believer's meetings. He asked if we knew what a believers meeting was? He said believers meeting only had believers attending, no one unsaved was there. That we should spend enough time in prayer that when we attended we should not be spectators,but participators having something from God to share with the body...a song, a prophesy, a psalm or a spiritual song. If we wanted God to give us a song we should get in our prayer closet and start praising him with the spirit and with the understanding. We should ask him to give us a song and he would. I went home inspired with child like faith and did as he said and although I prayed that God give me a song I was surprised when he did and so filled with joy. I sang that song from 10 at night till 3 in the morning and I was satisfied. I thought if God never gave me another I had my moment with the SON. But God did give me more... Ten years later I have now written 250 poems songs, and articles, plus over 200 blog devotions. You see, beloved my vision for my life was so small, I could not imagine into God's greater vision for my life. My vision was to serve God and my family. Be a good mother, grandmother, great grandmother and share the faith with those who walked through my life. God had bigger plans for my destiny. Plans I could never imagine. I remember once asking God how I could write and get published? You see I live in a small farming community with no opportunities. His reply was you have everything you need in your own backyard. What a concept to me. God saw endless opportunities while I saw none. I challenge you to see with child like faith beyond your limited vision into God's vision for your life. Every thing you need is in your own backyard in your child like faith. God bless Linda
