Two days ago I was driving up our mountain and listening to a song. I was worshipping and singing along with it when I just felt the Spirit gently fall and I just responded with, “yea.” I knew that I had been praying and listening to Bible studies and being in a mindful spirit daily, but I hadn’t sat at the feet of my Father in all of the busyness of life.
