I can't believe it's been three years! It was December 13, 2007 when I suffered a mild stroke. That day was a defining moment for me. It was that day when I knew in my spirit and heart that I would not be returning back to work. Oh, I didn't doubt that I would recuperate and become better physically, but I just knew that I could not go back. I did not admit it until a few weeks or so later, but I already knew.
God had a plan for me and I had to listen to his voice. In fact, He'd been speaking to me for at least a year about moving away from my job and committing myself more to His work. It didn't make good common sense to me, but common sense isn't necessarily God's way of doing anything. What's common to man is not for God. God's way definitely are above ours.
Abraham comes to mind. Moses. Joseph. Jeremiah. Job. Paul. Mary. Even Rahab the Harlot.
God can, and does, use anyone.......each of us. And His direction and assignment for us is tailored made for His distinct purpose for us. It took a stroke for me to finally acknowledge His calling on my life.
I praise Him for allowing me to live so that I could walk in my purpose!
