Rose Marie Miller Interview.

RM: So I think it was another two years — so then of course somebody dies in Spain there’s a lot of people like (inaudible) they have to go through. So, that fear of and I didn’t go back to Spain probably for another two, three years. So then interestingly enough I was reading through, I had just read the devotions, just reading through the Bible. And I was reading, and I was in Jeremiah, and so I just thought well I’ll just continue reading and I came to Jeremiah 29 where Jeremiah is writing to the exiles, writing a letter to the exiles, he said just what I want you to do, I want, this is very significant, I want you to do what you did before, you know plant, plant little houses, plant vineyards, get your children married, but the word exile just stood out like a billboard in my life, and that’s how I felt after he died, I felt like I was exiled.

RM: Well what was I going to do in exile? and then Jeremiah goes on to say well just do, just do what you did before. So I started going to, doing Sonship weekends with Josiah sometimes with just Salasin, and just started continuing to do, to do, just stuff, so that gave me a purpose and a direction in my life. #2:26:24.5#

RM: After about three or four years of that I just knew that that was over and that it was time for me to get to get connected to, our, to, by this time Bob and Karen were here, and I just remember sitting in church and, and its, its interesting, I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t I wouldn’t say that this is a way to get guidance, but Angelo was preaching and then I don’t remember what passage he was preaching on but he said you know speaking is not enough, just throw away line that just hit me. And that’s what I’d been doing. And I looked down at my Bible it was Isaiah 55 I think or 56 where it says you go out with joy be led forth with peace and the mountains and the hills will bring forth and the singing.
