Nehemiah...a heart that can break by Kelly Winter

Have you ever had a "Standing on Holy Ground" moment? Kelly Minter describes a moment in her life while she was making her bed, as clear as a bell God spoke to her and said, "Nehemiah". It was a passing moment...over shadowed by a series of events that required her immediate attention. But later she realized God had already placed in her soul to study the book of Nehemiah...before she even knew there would be a need for it. I haven't had a moment quite like her moment...but there have been times when I felt my thoughts were being directed by Him...and not me.

I sometimes call them "God Winks"...moments when I feel there is a special connection to the Holy. I have to say it has never been while making a bed! But don't you sometimes feel that He is nudging you? Do you budge when there is a nudge? I wonder if there are times when I stand lock-kneed still and determined that surely He was not whispering to me! I am too busy or too tired or too over worked to do one single thing more...and yet He whispers...and prods. It is uncomfortable. It can be irritating...and certainly unsettling. 

It takes a lot of courage to open your heart to hear His voice...to pray..."Here I am with all I am, my whole heart...what can I do? Where can I go? Where can I help?" Do you have the courage to pray it? You know if you do...that's when the excitement will begin! He will hear you...He will lead you...it won't be easy! But He promises that He is enough...

Maybe I'll make my bed tomorrow!
