He Changed My Direction
When A Dear Friend Asked Questions
Genesis 1:1–2 NIV
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. [2] Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.”
A little over two years ago the coauthor to the book pictured above passed away after a battle with Cancer, and with that I kind of lost the direction to this book, but a couple of weeks ago, a friends question and a deep search, brought me to a realization, this book needed to move in a different direction.
My friend who is many years my elder, was seeking my help in spiritual matters, namely in understanding the Holy Spirit. I encouraged her to reach out to our Pastor and began delving in, her question brought me to a realization, or maybe more than one really, the book I was writing needed to shift gears a little bit, and focus more on questions like my friends, and secondly I was now able to pass on the tools my late spiritual mentor gave me to someone I looked up to for her strength, and courage in the face of adversity. It was a reminder too that it’s not a person’s age that matters. We can all do things to build up His kingdom.
Some people will have you to believe that you are filled with the Holy Spirit only if you speak in tongues, but that’s far…
