When God Speaks It's Time To Move

Last month, I had the opportunity to share on stage, with my church family, what God was doing in my life. Below is what I shared...

"Over the past few years, God has been stirring something in my heart, but I wasn’t sure when I was suppose to move forward with what He was saying to me.
This past Christmas Eve, God spoke very clearly to me. He said “Stacey, you’re sitting in a house full of love with an empty lap.” Without a doubt I knew God was calling me to adopt.

I have recently completed my home study and have been approved. I am now moving forward with the adoption agency.

This is one of the biggest steps of faith I have ever taken, but I know I am walking in obedience. Any time doubt starts to surround me, God says “Stacey, how big is your God?”

Two verses have come to mind during this journey: 
Proverbs 3:5,6
Hebrews 11:1

What I’ve been learning through this experience is that when you say YES to God and follow His will, you start hearing his voice in ways you’ve never heard before." 
And so the journey continues...

New Beginnings

Well, I can't believe I'm actually setting up my very first blog! :) Perhaps I'm a little behind the times, but like most of the human population, it's hard to find time to be still and actually write about life and the thoughts stirring inside.
God is shaking me awake and for the first time in a long time I'm finally listening to His voice. I'm starting on the most amazing journey I've ever been on...so I'm holding on for the ride!
Here begins the faith walk.
