Day Forty: A New Thing

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?"
 Isaiah 43:19

The Lord has a unique and mysterious way of beginning something new in our lives...

First there is a nudging of the spirit by The Holy Spirit. A slight idea, distant calling ~ like the wind, they whisper, whip, and whirl through the unconscious mind. Before long, the utterance takes form. Once jumbled words gel and find  voice. Thoughts placed on heart and mind spring forth. Like water from the spigot, something new manifests itself.

Since the fall of 2009, the Lord has begun three "new things" in my life. All were manifested from nowhere to something ~ a new thing. My calendar fills faster than before, sometimes to the point of overflowing. Just like the blessings, good measure, pressed down and shaken together, and running over.

Feel that bubbling up. It begins with The Spirit. "Do you not perceive it?" M
