The Long Walk 2010

My 7-7 day
I usually walk 6-7 miles each day, partly for the only exercise I get but even more so as it has been a time to talk and walk with God each day, worship him with my worship music and see just what he is doing for the day. Many a breakthrough in talking with Papa occurs on my Monday to Friday walks. So for me my walk was a "regular part" of my daily walk with god. But interesting enough was that was day I chose to listen to "Boiling Point". Usually I do my DAB then walk and listen to worship music (worshipping Him through it) and talking with God. So much of my walk happened listening to this monthly podcast. And as you can read in that forum on the boiling point God really touched me through what Brian said. I sensed his work in the work in Africa and their obeying Him to send a mission to us that now Brian gets to be a part of. I was simply blown away and had a connection that could only be the Holy Spirit touching and talking to me and revealing to me the width and breadth of His work and His people, and his heart for all that happened in Rhowanda. When Brian described the places where some of this occurred and talked about what happened to women and children and men, I cried and felt a deep hurt, a hurt that I recognized as how the Lord felt about what his children do to each other. But then the ministry of the pastor to the very people who killed his niece who are in prison let me see the Grace and Mercy of our God in even these horrible situations. It was how the Lord talked to me on the 7th. I thought it would be one of many blessed daily walks, so maybe not different but then I listed to that podcast as I walked and the Holy Spirit just touched me in so many ways that I realized He was making my walk on the 7th as significant as it has been for many of you. So I thought it was appropriate to mention my 7-7 walk as well here.
