194 Hope In The Shadow Of His Presence
Manage episode 334934452 series 2822180
I had a major trigger this week.
My favorite preacher/Father of the Faith from Bethel Redding, lost his wife to cancer.
Losing such a great Kingdom woman of God as Beni Johnson made the day of finding this out as holy. Losing such an amazing woman of God and then reading all the tributes about her shook me to the very core of my being.
Her book the "Happy Intercessor" was key to helping me learn how to pray from a place of abiding and not striving.

My thoughts also went to an email I wrote a month or so ago...where amidst being by Dave in pain with cancer, the major word was ..."Do the next thing."
I wrote:
I learned this while reading a powerful book by Elizabeth Elliot. There’s an old legend inscribed in a parsonage in England somewhere on the sea coast, a Saxon legend that said, “Do the next thing.”
It seems to fit the gaping area of the jigsaw puzzle of my life where there needs to be something placed there to make sense amidst this walk with cancer.....
So even now, as Dave has been gone (here) for over a month, the "do the next thing" for me might be to simply spend extra time in the Word and Worship as I travel through the journey of trauma and grief.
It also means to prepare paperwork with bills, probate, and other misc tasks.
I do the next thing and walk it out in child like faith.
Do the next thing for me now also means to stay even more connected to my amazing adult children.
So back to Beni. ...LISTEN AS I SHARE more about her life and the impact Bill Johnson's word just days after he lost his wife called "Breaking The Bread Of My Soul"
