I am the Samaritan woman.

yes. it is true. I am the Samaritan woman. My Love kept bringing that up to me and I wasn't sure why till I went to study it. My life very much reflects her life. Jesus's love surprised her that day. When she woke up that morning, she did not expect for her life to change. She probably didn't expect her life to be the way she was currently living. But there He was, waiting for her. Right where He knew she would be. And despite all rules, regulations, and what was considered acceptable... He spoke to this woman. He revealed to her truth. He spoke of worship. What is funny is that one of my favorite verses is John 4:23 "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." and to my surprise, there this verse was at the end of the story of the woman at the well. God has been revealing to me so much about the woman He has called me to be. It's so exciting because it's birthing inside me all these desires and dreams. I love the way God works. His Holy Spirit is moving so much in my life. Today I got to get together with my staff coach, the beautiful Mrs. Dawn Pokorney. We went to Starbucks (hallelujah!) and got to sit down share heart and I got to be sharpened. My Love is sanctifying me so much, and every day, EVERYDAY I am growing and learning and through it all I am being LOVED. That is the biggest thing God has been showing me this week. On Saturday the enemy really started trying to distract me and he kept telling me all these lies that I knew were not true, but it's so hard to feel loved and worthy when all you keep hearing are lies. And then an amazing thing happens. You go to Him, and you pour out your heart. You cry in His arms. and you just rest there. 




rest.     rest.




                       rest. 




And sure enough, He is working. I got my first question on http://www.formspring.me/ShaneaWisler. The question was 

why does it seem like the only thing you can ever talk about is god? 


Let me tell you, my heart just leapt! To think that that is what someone thought about me.... me?!?! The very thing I want people to notice in me is Him. Even though I think this person was trying to use it as an insult, it was the greatest compliment I have ever gotten, and it was EXACTLY what I needed to hear at that moment. I really wish I knew who asked me that question because I would so love to personally thank them for giving me exactly what I needed. I know that My Love had them ask me that so that He could reveal to me what people see in me, what He sees in me. And then the next morning we had breakfast at Dawns for our huddle family time and we got to talk about how as women of God we are the direct reflection of Him. After breakfast, we headed on over to prayer, and the BROTHERS! did such an amazing thing for us sisters. It very much touched my life and it was by far the most beautiful, meaningful, PURE Valentine's Day I have ever had. I'd go into details on that, but it is a sacred moment within our family and I want to preserve that. God was just loving on me like crazy and it just rocked my world. 

It makes me laugh when the enemy tries to distract us, because I know what he says are lies, and when God does that in my life, it makes me love Him that much more, and the enemys efforts are completely useless. HEY GUESS WHAT, THOSE LIES MAKE ME LOVE HIM MORE! BECAUSE WHAT HE TELLS ME IS

TRUTH.

And My Love continues to reveal more and more about who He has called me to be. And I think He is going to confirm and reveal a lot more to me on the LA missions trip. I am so excited for that! 

My Love, I don't know if anyone is even reading this, but whoever may read it, I ask that you just bless them ten fold. Love on them like you have been loving on me. Thank you for being who You are. Continue to invade my world and continue to sharpen me so that I can even more further Your Kingdom. May all the praise and glory go to You. For you are the only one worthy. Dios mío, mi amor . I love you :)
