Details in the Waiting


Proverbs 8:34

Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.

WAITING on the  LORD   is not easy.   You  work on your self. 
Praying Lord... is it my time.  I  am in your word. I am in community. I am Listening and 
ready for you to send me. Is it my time?
I am patiently waiting, watching, discerning the next move you
would have me take.   
I am sitting Still
I am sitting Still
I am sitting Still
 I am trying to sit still but it is hard. 
The world around is growing busier and busier. When I stop to wait on you
LORD , I am restless. I must do something . Fill the still moment with some thing
some one
I am waiting  on you LORD. 
Sitting on the steps of this  overwhelming door. What is behind it . 
When is it going to open.
Is is going to open. 
I reach for the iron door handle. Maybe it is open now. Checking .Testing. Hoping.
Not open. Now I am pulling and  prying on the door. I know I can get it open. 
Wasting my energy . Wasting my time. I give up. Surrender this desperate moment to you .
My energy is depleted from the struggle. 
I am resting, not by choice, but because there is nothing else I can do.  
Now  I am  Still
Exasperated  I lie down. I look up and this enormous door. 
In surrender the door is different. I know I cannot control when it opens. 
I take a moment to look at it. My focus has been what is behind it.
What do I get behind the door.
When will it happen.
In surrender  I recognize it color. A deep cadmium red. 
Its shape . The details. The craftsmanship. 
In surrender I am relaxed to enjoy thinking about how the door got there. 
How it was made.
Who  carved the design.
Who has sit on the steps before me. 
In surrender I begin to care for the door and its steps.
Preparing  for the day it opens. 
Enjoying the wait. 
Enjoying the beauty of the wait. 
Knowing that God Will open the door and the wait is part of the process.

Stepping Out of Fear

Last night the women of Celebration church BROUGHT it. God is so amazing how he shows up. I have AGAIN been bogged down in fear. Frozen in mire, unable to step out of my situation and let Jesus step in. FEAR of the things I do not have control of...marriage, finances, children. Prisicilla's words Sunday morning lifted me up. God has gone before and set the velocity of my life. Life is coming my way and I am afraid, relationships, mistakes, illness, being alone, I am treading water and so tired, but the truth is God is not going to give me more than I can handle. I know the truth an it has and will continue to set me free.  I am filled with the spirit, the very authority that Jesus has handed me through the Holy Spirit, but I am too weary, too weary to command the enemy to back off. What is wrong with me...this does not feel like me. Sunday morning the LOVER of my soul wooed me with words of truth/encouragement. Listening to Priscilla's annointed message...are you the one in...

New Leaf

Been going through so much since my last post. Why is it you see where you are supposed to go but it is so hard to get there. The obstacles have been very heavy. Laying them down daily, but as I to surrender the deep wounds in my heart it just does not stop. I am in agreement. Take these things Lord but as they begin to surface it is very very hard, a festering mess of healing. This is what healing looks like. Well my usual response is, no way. I thought I wanted to go there but maybe next week. Very similar to other good things I want to do for myself. I want to let go of caffine, sugar and alcohol for 30 days but as soon as I get started the fear of letting go of the crutch sinks in. How will I get by without my daily cup of joe or that glass of wine in the evening and the countless moments I have with sugar and salt during the day. So today I surrender all of that and pray that you cleanse me Lord and I am ready for anything.
