BOXES

Trying to "think out of the box" can be a bit challenging when you are surrounded by boxes. Packing is always a great time to discover the treasures you have long forgotten. He leads me...even in this. How not to waste time, what needs to go, and what is to be prepared for a later time.

TIME OUT

It's good to take some time out, because you never know what's next. Time to reflect, to rest, to write some things down. Time to text the next step forward and leave yesterday behind. Time to move...

ROOTS EXPOSED

On a sidenote  I was thrilled to see a Man of God standing at a busy intersection today, holding up a cross for everyone to see. On it was written: JESUS CHRIST WANTS YOU BACK!


I was reminded tonight of Aspin trees and how they are one of the largest living organisms, because they are all connected at the root.  Those who are truly seeking God are rooted and grounded in love as a member of the Body of Christ. Keeping heavenly perspectives, our minds renewed daily, keeps us connected to the head which is Christ Jesus, our roots are grounded in His perfect love.

Yesterday a friend of mine showed me this big ball of roots that he dug up from his back yard. There were piles of roots and stems and branches everywhere. In reflection, before I layed down to sleep lastnight I wrote this down:

THERE IS STILL SOMEWHERE DEEPER YOU ARE DRAWING US INTO YOU. ALWAYS BY WAYS WE DO NOT PERCEIVE EXCEPT IN SMALL GLIMPSES OF EARTH, DIGGING IN THE DIRT. GRABBING HOLD WITH BOTH HANDS THE TRUTH, AND LETTING IT REVEAL ALL THE HIDDEN SNARLES TANGLED UP BENEATH THE SURFACE. IN THE PILES OF STEMS AND BROKEN BRANCHES - YOU REVEAL YOUR PURPOSE.  WE BREATHE IN WHAT JUST HAPPENED. ALL THE STRENGTH OF MAN TURNS TO ASHES. BY YOUR SPIRIT WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING. OPEN OUR EYES AND START SEEING THE DESTRUCTION OF THOSE WHO KNOW YOU NOT, AND THE REDEMPTION OF THOSE WHO ARE COVERED IN THE BLOOD.
