acresofhopeSometimes, God's voice sounds like a black woman's voice, at least to me. Ya know, He gets all up in my face and calls me 'girl' a whole lot? It's just this kind of...tone, one that says 'are you krazeh' and proceeds to tell me like it is.
What He's said in the past few hours has a lot to do with something He called me a few years ago that I apparently still don't believe, and it's going to sound completely ridiculous, but who cares anymore. He called me His 'warrior princess'. This totally blew me away, because I used to be a HUGE fan of the Xena series. I look at Xena as this strong, unwavering woman who doesn't back down for anyone. And I think "I could never be like that!"
Well...I can be. Maybe not every waking second, but I can. These past couple of days have proven as much. I can say 'no' to temptation, and with conviction...and when I do it, I'm surprised at myself, because I almost feel like growling and physically fighting.
I thought about doing something, and though I haven't decided yet, I'm going to put it out there. When Israel marched around the walls of Jericho, doing exactly what God asked them to do, He brought the walls crashing down for them. I thought, since the local mall opens early mornings for walkers, I might go out there and walk around that mall seven times. It would be a good way to focus, and to get some much needed exercise in.
I don't think I've written this much on any given day in ages. Maybe I should shut up now?
