God chose to stir my soul anew through this study, The Hem of His Garment. Two dear friends encouraged me to take the study, and here I am, just a few short weeks later, looking back on how God has talked to me, and given me understanding, and grace, and patience. I am reawakend by God drawing me near to Himself. There was a drought in my soul, and in my sin, I wandered in a desolate place for sevearl years. He was with me in the vast dry desert, but I would not look for Him or call out to Him. He has lead me beside still waters, He has filled my cup. He has renewed my mind. All of this proclaiming, He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it. He has begun a good work in me. This is not the end, but the beginning. This is where He teaches me to have a firm foundation, to have roots that go deep into the Scripture, and a faith that cannot be shaken. Through my daily encounters with God, He shows me that He is living and active, and answering prayers. He shows me daily that He hears me, and has a plan for me, and He is guiding me step by step. How encouraging that I am not doing this by my own power (which is nill). To know that I can simply say to Him, ’’I need you to do this in me, because I am weak and unable’’, and He does; Every day.
