Greetings! Click Logo to LISTEN NOW!!! BlogFam, On today we begin a new series. As you probably know by now, for those who have
been with me since the beginning of my blogging journey, I am very prayerful
about each and every step. I am daily
inspired by the Word of God and so each series we begin grows out of that and
of course my personal life experiences.
The title of our new series is: ON THE EIGHTH DAY: SPIRITUAL KEYS TO MOVING ON Now before you complete that thought in your head that
reminds me that there are only SEVEN days in a week, I will explain. I was just going to entitle the series Moving
On. I thought that was sufficient. In fact, that is what I announced the name of
the series to be this morning on Twitter and Facebook. However, as I sat to write this introduction,
I got a tap on the shoulder in the Spirit. I will begin this series with one of my favorite
chapters in the Bible, Romans 8. This
scripture has lifted me in so many ways and led me through my journey so many
times that it seemed like the best place to begin. AND the number eight is the number of new
beginnings. AND since this is a new
series and I will soon begin another new chapter in my own life, I thought, it
just felt right. Most of the time we
talk about tomorrow or the next day or the day after next and so I just gave
that day a number. I do not at all think
that God missed a day. [LOL!] I just know
that most of us have such great hopes and dreams for days gone by that have not
yet faded and so I am naming the day to come the EIGHTH DAY. The Eighth Day is the day we ALL look forward to
meeting. The Eighth Day is so full of
possibilities and wonder and more than what we could ever dream of for
today. The first day of any new
experience is always so very special and significant and the last day is the
same BUT what I love about this concept of the EIGHTH DAY is that it is ALWAYS in
the future. The EIGHTH DAY transforms
our lives and our vision for our lives in ways that the first and the last day
with anyone or anything will never have the opportunity to do. For when we meet our EIGHTH DAY, the day we
have been waiting for, it actually becomes our first or our last day and when
we look again, the EIGHTH DAY is something NEW, all over again. I like the EIGHTH DAY.
It is always ahead of me and never behind me. It is always brighter than the present and it
never succumbs to my past. It is a day
of hope and faith and it is the evidence of what I have not yet seen. And today, we begin again…. On the EIGHTH
DAY. Friends, the challenge with looking
forward to the EIGHTH DAY, is that when we meet it, we MUST adjust our lives,
our relationships, our finances, our living arrangements, our attitudes, our
careers, our everything in order to MOVE ON and to move forward along the
journey our God has set before us. This is an interesting season in the Body of
Christ. I have heard of so many moves of
God in the lives of believers over the last few months and I am excited to be
in that number! People are MOVING on,
in, out, around, up, down, to the side, down the street, around the block, and
ahead. People are always moving actually
but unfortunately, we do not always know HOW to do so with grace, in peace, and
for love. In this series, we will begin
a conversation about MOVING ON and for now, we will use Romans 8 as our
guide. I am excited about this new
series and I pray that you will join me and continue with me as we all look
forward to the EIGHTH DAY and what it really means for us to MOVE ON.
