My encounter with the Holy Spirit was intense to say the least. It was one of the nights we were discussing our spiritual gifts and how to encounter them by encountering first the Holy Spirit. I totally have always heard this said, but never ever have I encountered God the way I did that night. I never have told God that I accepted his will, that I accepted the Holy Spirit to enter my heart the way I did that night. That night I wept tears of joy and love and peace. I had left all my burdens at God’s feet. I had left all my opportunities for this next year… jobs, relationships, family, friends, EVERYTHING. I left it at God’s feet and in his hands and accepted God’s calling on my life. "To leave behind everything I know in order to expand the kingdom of God." I felt as though God had cradled me in his arms and was just whispering his love for me in my ears, and all I had to say was “I accept.” I had later remembered explain to a friend that I had felt the soreness, anxiousness, tension and pain my body was feeling before was GONE! And I just felt burden less and beautiful. I know this may sound crazy! But I really did feel God’s unfathomable love surround me that night, to the point of tears. I cried for a good hour or so and then when it was time to leave I felt God tell me to leave with the understanding that I am his and his alone, that he had big things planned for me this next year, so I should leave with the peace of knowing He is God and I am his child who he loves unconditionally, and will protect me wherever I go. Since I have been home I haven’t had to question my encounter for I know in my heart God was there with me that night. I don’t have to question going on The World Race or surrendering anything, because that night He told me, I am his child to whom he is pleased, he will protect me, love on me, and has my future taken care of. Who am I to question the God who has created everything? The God that only comes with life and goodness? The God that has the power to make the sick well and the poor, rich and the weak strong? Who am I? I AM CHOSEN! I am the princess of the most high chosen to create difference in this world and love on those I encounter, I am chosen to show who Christ is simply through my actions. And I completely accept. “I accept!” and that’s all there is to it.
