Soooo  What did my God-experience lead me to do?

First, does He want me to obey that dreaded command given to the rich man:  Go! Sell all that you have and give to the poor?  I stopped asking that question long ago after the first time I wanted to obey.  He showed me how it would not make sense to reduce my estate down to $00.00, leaving me to scramble full-time for sustenance.

Also the idea of giving my body to be burned had been ruled out quickly.  Body burning has its appeal; a one time sacrifice and then freedom from obedience concerns and trying to live a holy life.  No good since He knew I could not do it with love and so profit me nothing.

What about going to the farthest place on earth (kind of like Jonah's missionary trip). I was planning a get away trip four years ago but had a stroke instead.  That will stop you in your tracks.

Then there is door to door canvassing and/or handing out pamphlets; not out of the realm of possibilities.  

WHAM   it came:  make the small group already meeting at your house into a Crowded House.  That can be done.    Wait a minute, I don't know how to do this.

Now I see it all:  I must learn something new and grow.  How soon I forget that blessings come from growth.  That's just like God to attach wonderful blessings to growth.
