Pop, Pop, Pop!! Pop and Never Stop!
For those of you who have been following along with my journey during the last week, I think you'll find a least a bit of progress in this. I'm off to church!! In July we planned a movie night. So, I've been popping popcorn all afternoon (It smells wonderful in my house, that is if you like popcorn, which I do!). I know it's not really a "big event", but it is one that has me back with my church family, in a social/relaxed situation.
If the truth be told, I'm a tad nervous, no make that very nervous. Since my meeting Monday with Pastor Ray, I'm feeling just a little "exposed." Now, I know that's exactly where the Holy Spirit wants me. I'm absolutely sure of that. He's been very clear on the issue. I can't help, however to feel the strong urge to cut and run the opposite direction. But if nothing else I've learned over the years, it's best to be obedient to His will. And of course, if I didn go/cut and run I would waste some perfectly good popcorn. Now that would be a shame!!
So say a prayer or two for me okay. Yup, I'm definitely moving forward--one small step at a time!
To be continued. . .

It's hard to take that step, and I have been at that step more than a couple times, but HE doesn't let me alone about it...sooo off i go and try again too! Praying for your evening to be wonderful!
This is an awesome step...and a great ice-breaker... :) Hold up...someone might actually NOT like popcorn? egads... :) Rock on girl!
The great part of this is that you are confident you are where the Holy Spirit wants you. That is beyond HUGE.
Some of what you are going through reminds me of lyrics to an Amy Grant song I just played (again). I hope you won't mind if my response ends up taking up a big space, because I'd like to share the lyrics with you ... And by the way, if you want to hear the song, it's on my finetune.com player (http://www.finetune.com/playlist/1706168) which YOU inspired me to create. :)
OUT IN THE OPEN
~ Amy Grant
They were the sweetest words I'd ever heard
My heart could barely take it in
Like water offered to the lips
Of a tired and thirsty man
'Cause it's a tangled web I've woven
I don't know all the reasons
But it amazes me to wake up
To your mercy every morning
So I'm standing here spinning around
In the fields of freedom
And I'm still alive and reaching out
And I can feel the healing
'Cause you say
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Out in the open
Come on out come on out
Come on out come onout
Into the light
There is no jury
There is no judge
Ready and waiting
Are the steady arms of love
For the sake of never making waves I
Kept my secrets to myself
And no one ever really knew the
Darker shadows of my heart
But I will be a witness
That there's nothing in me dark enough
The power of forgiveness
Cannot rescue from the deep
So I'm standing here spinning around
In the fields of freedom
And I'm still alive and reaching out
And I can feel the healing
And you say
Come on out come out
Come on out come out
Out in the open
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Into the light
There is no jury
There is no judge
Ready and waiting
Are a steady arms of love
Hey
And I'm standing here spinning around
In the fields of freedom
And I'm still alive
And reaching out
And I can feel the healing
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Out in the open
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Into the light
There is no jury
There is no judge
Ready and waiting
Are the steady arms of love
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Out in the open
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Into the light
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Into the arms of love
Into the of light
Come on out come on out
Come on out come on out
Into the light
