INTIMACY
In this country I couldn't communicate much with others. During this month I had no contact (Internet, phone) with my family and friends at home. My team had no missionary contact. I spent more time talking to God than ever before. I prayed, wrote my thoughts and feelings, and asked that God would support and helped me through. I prayed for a deeper relationship with Him. I was inspired that he answered prayers and talked to me through VISIONS & DREAMS. I surrendered some of things I believed were inhibiting my relationship with him (like my nightly fantasies of coming home, homesickness) I committed to making Him the forefront of my thoughts and especially my final thoughts each day before I slept. He responded to my littlest efforts in big ways. A relationship with God that I never could have imagined before, began. I found that he was constantly on my mind,. I spoke to him continually. I consulted him. I prayed out loud as I walked down the streets of China. The people in China couldn't understand me. However, I felt him there. God was reaching for me in big way! I felt closer to God. In China my conversations with God became deeper. There was an obvious conversation happening. I would ask and he would provide … All he wanted was my attention … I can now say my relationship with God has reached a profound level of intimacy.
Also the level of intimacy between me and my Ladies of Light grew as we continued to depend soley on each other for encouragement & creative ministry.
