Day 56
Am I connecting to God more on Day 56 than on Day 1?
Yes!!
In fact 2 nights ago with heads bowed praying before dinner someone's watch went off and I smiled, already in His presence. I have noticed over the last 2 weeks that as my beeper went off it mattered less and less because I was in God's presence more and more ~ that habit, pattern, desire to be in His presence was here. I am so excited that I am hearing this from many different places and from different ages of people. People connecting with God more. . . not more than "so-n-so" just more for them! Each of us connecting more throughout our day; before a decision is made, before a conversation, as we walk/drive/run/exercise, during a meeting, as we put our heads on our pillows...
On page 249 the author asks us to image our lives 3 years from now if this remains a way of life and not just a 60/60 experiment we've shared. As I imagine this I know I want that for my relationship with Christ. I pray that the 60/60 experiment remains a changed way of life
for me ~ and for you ~ and for us ~ as we follow Jesus and grow alongside.
What's next for me?
Stay in the Small Group we are in going deeper with others, keep my beeper going to remind me of my ongoing commitment and continue to ask for God's help in keeping my heart connected to HIS because I need Him in all things.
What's next for you?
Happy Thanksgiving ~ our blessings are abundant in Christ Jesus.

As I imagine where I will be three years from now, my mind takes me back to some of the most important prayers I have ever prayed. Prayers for my loved ones to recieve Christ as the One and Only Almighty God, the One who created the universe and all that is in it. The One who gave Himself, to give to us, undeserved and unearned salvation. I imagine myself attending a worship service together with those loved ones as we celebrate His amazing grace, as we bring glory to God Almighty our One and Only Savior. God's plan to bring these people to this place will require me to bring Christ's Light into dark places. I know that the darkness can never overcome the Light, but the Light will overcome the darkness. I have been preparing myself for this task through deep study and historical research of the true meaning of God's Holy Word. This is something I have been working on for years, but now I realize, since Soul Revolution, that this is the time He wants me to move forward. He has even recently provided the opportunity for this to happen.
I am weak, and completely insignificant to have the knowledge and wisdom required to do this, so I am relying on the Holy Spirit to equipt me with whatever is neccesarry in order for me to do His work. I know that He will be with me through this journey, and together will bring His Light into the hearts of those who are confused and lost. Please, I am asking for prayer that the Holy Spirit will remain with me and completely guide me in this process. I can not do it alone. I need prayers from Christians who are living in the Light of Jesus, in order to be successful in this journey. Thank you. Cheryl Cross
