I have noticed something about my personality lately. I am pretty even-keel. There is a normal state of equalibrium that I can maintain easily, with the exception of my emotional pregnancy hormone situation that flares up occasionally, and things that disturb or upset me. Yeah, the usual. It doesn't take a whole lot to make or keep me happy or amused. A word from God, a laugh with a friend, a delicious cappuccino at Coffea, encouragement, time and words with my hubby, praying for someone and having the Holy Spirit "hit", making something to eat that people love, "tasting" dark chocolate sweets or sweet potatoes, discussing the journey of life with a friend or stranger and having something to encourage them with, and other things like ACTIVITY, games and power walking in nature..or whatever. I just like and love a lot of people and things. But not a lot of things or people or words deeply move me to great change or action. Nothing rapid or abundant. Just keep things flowing and going.
I had a wake up call with my knee--which was incredibly bad and now is incredibly well. In that time of invalid-ness, Father was calling me to spend more time with Him, go in a deeper place of trust with Him and wait there. It was like a reset from my business and an invitation into His heart. Recently He was knocking on the door of my heart to listen closely to something He was saying. I had just had a great time watching something with Karter, with much laughter and fun (as usual) and I felt that nothing else I did that night would be enjoyable or satisfying except for hearing what He had to say--what was on my Father's heart. He led me to Revelation and then highlighted Revelation 3...
To the angel of the church in Sardis write:
Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness,righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 14 This is why it is said:
“Wake up, sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
