Finding God in Cyberspace

I've gotta share with you my dear Siestas just how wonderful God is. Just when I think I'm at a low point, that I'm conflicted at every turn, the Holy Spirit shows up and speaks in a mighty way. This time, however He has spoken electronically through your e-mails, posts and blogs. Now I've never really considered how God moves through cyberspace. His presence is obvious. Just a cursory look at the names of blogs alone is evidence of that. What I'm speaking to is a different type of specificity--one where you know without a doubt that the message is just for you, directly from Him.

This has played out today over and over again. I've received e-mails from Siestas I don't know, posts from a variety of you, and even a call or two (although technically that's not cyberspace, is it?).

What really got my attention, besides the shear volume of the communication, was the blogs I was reading. Not just one blog mind you, but blog after blog after blog. Two blogs in particular have ministered to my heart today--directly to the core: Teri at Facedown and Mandy at Just a Girl. As I read the entries, both which are very different but speak so specifically to me, I could do nothing but weep.

For those of you who don't know me that well, I'm not much of a crier. It's not that I don't feel things deeply, it's just that the "waterworks" don't come easily. Yet, here I was on my computer, sobbing like a baby. You see knowing how much He loves me despite my doubts and lack of faith--enough to reach down into the valley and communicate directly to me, just takes my breath away and of course set the tears in motion. He is so awesome,marvelous, majestic (okay you fill in the blank here)--Regardless words aren't adequate!!

Thank you my Siestas for all the support, love and prayer. Letting the Holy Spirit move through you has made a HUGE difference in my life today. So please keep doing what you're doing (and please keep praying for me, too). You never know how the Holy Spirit is going to use your simple words in a major way.

With much love and gratitude,
