Hi Everyone!!, OK.....I've been involved in wdw for 2 and 1/2 years. I've lost 100 pounds. Super! Been on a plateau....long plateau......ok, dead halt for a year now.

Blessings have been abundant. Love growing closer to the Lord, love being in the word, love the videos, love the classes, love to encourage other people. Everything's beautiful.

Today I watched "Save your heart for Him." This was the second time I had seen it. Fisrt time I watched it I was very moved. Of course, I cried. Who wouldn't....not made out of stone. Right? Well, viewed it again today and when it was done.......I was undone! Crying, could not speak, could not participate in discussion(believe me! I am rarely speechless.) Anyway, everyone was very quiet and discussion wasn't much. I think the Lord was just working on hearts. I got up and left, first one out the door (also unusual for me.)

So, I'm leaving; I'm cryin' ; Lord, I love you so much, I left Egypt long ago, I love you so much, don't I? Well, sure of course I love you. Yes, I do, definitely. Well, could it be that I who have been the poster girl for wdw, Miss Success Story, is it possible?! Well, yeah, ok so why have I been "plateaued" for a year?

So I say, SHOW ME LORD! I have a missing piece here....I need to KNOW that at last I've made some kind of break through. Now I don't say stuff like this. I pray a lot, I talk to the Lord all the time.......but I don't ever ask Him to prove anything. I just accept. But here I had doubts..... Anyhow, to make a long story short(yes, I know 'too late') I get in the car---our radio is set to Christian station or oldies......so oldies station comes on. You who are familiar with oldies......this is what I heard.......

"I love him, I love him, I love, and where he leads I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow, There isn't an ocean too deep, a mountain too high that will keep me from him. I love him, I love him, I love him......."

Well, ok! I'm praising! I'm crying! I'm flying! I'm glowing! I'm rejoicing! Jewels have been abundant throughout this desert journey and the Lord hands me the Hope Diamond beloved. He is too wonderful, too great, too beautiful!! What a Lord! Praise His name.

So I'm here to say....if you've been in wdw 2 minutes, 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months, or 2 years........DO NOT GIVE UP!! Hang in there----HE IS FAITHFUL. You will love Him totally without doubts, without reservations, and the obedience will follow. It will all come together for you.

We have a Lord who is truly able to do exceeding abundantly above ALL that we can ask or think. Keep praising beloved.

P.S. The next song that came on was

"I Feel Good!"

Boy, now that was an understatement!!!!!
