Curtain down on 2009 – happy, yet desperate for God
Last impressions of 2009 the feeling of the happiness of God. As I prayed this morning I found myself declaring out of my spirit how happy I was, happy that God was having His way and things going according to His plan. I felt tremendous joy in the heart of Father God. I stopped and began to think how exciting it is to work with and for God. He is extraordinarily positive and confident.
