I'll go where you want me to go

Thursday 11.2

A couple of weeks ago, a friend called saying she felt inspired that we should prepare the song "I'll go where you want me to go" in church that week.  I was excited at the idea because my brother arranged a beautiful version that I have sung before and would love to sing again.  Soon after, she found out that there were already musical numbers prepared for the meeting so we would not be able to do it.  We both wondered the purpose of her impression.  But the song stayed with me.  I spent a few days looking for my recording of the song and had it running through my mind off and on. 

Wednesday I opened the book, Saygobedo, which I needed to have read for class the following day.  At the beginning of the book I was surprised to see the lyrics to that very song.  I thought it was an interesting coincidence but didn't think too much of it. 

The book was good.  It wasn't a new concept to me but I appreciated many of the different perspectives pertaining to it.  But it didn't get to my heart like I would have liked.  I have been carrying a lot of stress, worry and fear that kept me from trusting that I could receive impressions and follow them.  And so I wasn't yet open to listening.

During our class discussion of the book I committed to taking the 30 day challenge even though I didn't feel up to it. I realized I wouldn't get another opportunity to do this with built in peer pressure and that was probably the only thing motivating me at this point anyway.  I wanted to be up to the challenge and I hoped for things to turn around for me. 

Right after I got home Thursday I had my first impression.  I would be teaching a women's class at church and the song would be perfect for my lesson.  I called my accompanist friend right away to see if she could swing it.  She agreed.
