Today, I embarked on a new journey in my life. I have never done this before but I am taking a step forward. We sing a song in church that says if you take one step, He will take two. Well, I need that from the Lord as I don’t know what to do. I feel like life is heading in all sorts of directions and I feel lost, standing at a fork in the road.
I arranged a getaway for four nights, just me. I need to know me and I need the Lord to speak to me through His Word. He is my Father. He is my Husband. I need Him.
As I searched for a location to go and be alone, I narrowed it down to two places. For days I agonized over which 
way to go. I stood in my office before leaving with my arms outstretched asking if I am to go north or south. My final decision was to go north.
In my final decision and knowing more of the location, a private apartment of a family, I did my due diligence and researched them. Odds are, they did me, too, although I did need to go through some hoops to be verified that I am a decent person, no serial killer.
I told my counselor that I would not be surprised if the owner is an attorney, as I would love to pick his brain. To find out, he is a preacher. Even better. No doubt in my mind that is why I was drawn to this location. I would not be surprised to have time to talk and be encouraged from him or his wife. That’s God. The Lord is so good. 
So as I prepared to travel north and get settled in alone, I have to be honest, it was somewhat hard to do. Why do I want to leave the comfort of my own home, almost wanting to forget this trip and take a loss. With that battle in my mind, something will come of this trip and I pray it does.
I will find my place to focus on the Lord, in my writing and reading with no distractions of dust, dirty dishes or laundry pulling me away.
My beautiful view.

As for a book, doesn’t everyone want to write a book? Why would anyone want to read mine? Questions I keep repeating all of these years. Who knows but God.
happen. I am at yet another ladies conference. I am standing by myself with my hands lifted up in front of me, palms up and looking at them, praying. Lord, if it is meant for me to write, let fire of your anointing flow through my fingers as I type. A simple prayer and I moved on enjoying the service.
prayer, she also took my left hand, holding them both up and said, ‘I see fire coming from your hands.’ Now being still, taking this all in, it was like wait a minute. I am thinking, Lord, I know she did not hear me pray, my prayer earlier. Then she said to me, ‘You are like a Wonder Woman.’ Then I stopped and no doubt my mouth dropped open. I know neither of these women knew me but with the prayer, prophetic word, the fire in my hands and Wonder Woman being mentioned, I knew God was in the midst. Plus, I had just wrote about Wonder Woman that week, and I said that I was Wonder Woman. (The blog is called 
Kryptonite.)
This morning as I was walking with my walking buddy, we discussed how when we did not have two nickels to rub together, as they say, when young and starting out on our own, that someone helped us. Today, we have not forgotten the person or their kindness, not to mention the expense. Paying forward now is what we do and hopefully the trend continues.
parents still, which was fine then. Our telephone rang, I answered and it was a lady we know stating her rental house was available. Great, I’ll tell my bother and sister-in-law was my thought. As I walked up to the finished attic that served as my living room and bedroom, I kept hearing, ‘It’s for you.’ Each time, it was if I could turn around and see somebody standing and saying ‘It’s for you.’ A little spooky. Those words would not leave.
Okay, fine! I called the lady back and inquired about the small, shotgun-type house and, of course, her husband had the time to show it to me right then. So, I went to look at it. I picked it apart in my mind of what it needed, did not have and built my case to show the Lord it was not for me. No doubt, He knew I would try to prove Him wrong.
