Heaven Sent Sentiments

Hello everyone! It has been weeks and weeks since I’ve posted. I apologize for that. I wish I had a really great, big “reason” to share with you, but I don’t. All I can say is this, God is at work in my life and is taking me into a different season.

Season. My first response to that word is leaves changing in the Fall or how the Summer sunshine can initiate vacation plans or beach trips. After all, there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens…(Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV).

But, Spiritual changes are what I am talking about, and going through—lessons on perseverance, faith, trust, prayer, and knowledge.

Sixty days ago today–yes, I said sixty–I began a life and Spirit changing bible study by Jennifer LeClaire titled, “Transform: A 90-Day Spirit Prayer Challenge”. Here is a peak at the study from her website:

“The 90-Day Spirit Prayer Challenge is a series of teachings, insights on praying in the Spirit and pray-along sessions that will encourage you to stay on track with what God said He wants to do in this prophetic word” (LeClaire, Jennifer).

Daily, during the last sixty days, I have been watching each video, journaling and writing down scripture, and most importantly, praying in the Spirit for an hour each day. I can not put into words how much this Spiritual Prayer Challenge has transformed my life. Physically, mentally, spiritually….in ALL ways.

I’ll admit, that it has been very challenging, but that fact has made me even more determined to keep my eye on the prize and to persevere with each prayer and scripture I learn.

This morning, during my prayer time, the Holy Spirit reminded me of where I was this time last year. In Peace with where God was taking me during that season. I was getting ready to speak in front of a hundred people, two days in a row, for my church’s annual Divine Design Mother’s Day Celebration. There is no doubt in my mind that, that whole experience and season was God-ordained.

Just in the same way, this one is.

God carried me through that season with His Wisdom, as I placed my faith in what He was bringing me through during that time. And that is what I am doing today. Right now, I am not writing as much on my blog, but I know Who is bringing me through this chapter and this season. And, oh, what a season it is!!

On day eleven, week two, of this bible study, the Holy Spirit revealed to me what one of my “next steps” will be in the future. A confirmation of what was revealed to my husband the very weekend I spoke at Divine Design last year. Stay tuned…I can’t wait to share what God is doing in my life, in His timing….:)

All the Glory to God,

Shanon Crenshaw
