"All That's Inside"

Slater Hayes Podcast

Along this journey I have arrived at various junctures and either did not know what to do, did too much, or exercised an indifference that I thought would lead to progress. Needless to say, I WAS WRONG and totally baffled as to what to do at numerous markers of my life.
That was until I accepted Christ and asked HIM to take the wheel.
And boy, has HE done just that.

"All That's Inside"
is a result of me being awakened on Tuesday, December 17, 2024. I was awakened and inspired to type one word into my phone.
That one word-"PACKAGING"
I did what I normally do when inspired in that way. I sat down awaiting the inspiration to peck out the words to a poem. IT NEVER CAME.
On Wednesday, December 18, 2024, I participated in my church's ( Journey Center-Global) Wednesday night V-Group gathering. V-Group is a time so that the congregants can discuss their individual gleanings from the prior Sunday's church services. On this particular night one of our Associate Pastor's ended the meeting with words of wisdom from Romans 12. He stressed the importance of us fulfilling the gifts that have been stored within each of us.
I immediately thought-GOD is not a GOD of coincidence. I sat at my computer waiting to be inspired with words centered around "Packaging" Nothing came to me so I went to bed.
At approximately 5:53 am, I was inspired to write the piece to which you hopefully listened.
GOD has planted so many gifts within each of us. After I had finished writing "All That's Inside", I recognized that it is a testimony of my life and HOW MANY OPPORTUNITIES WE ARE GIVEN TO UTILIZE OUR VARIOUS and UNIQUE GIFTS.
Too often, we are led to believe that we are gifted in one specific area and if not successful that GOD is finished using us...
I am a living witness that that assertion is baseless...
OUR SPIRIT...LIVES!!!
PEACE!!!
