blessing on your journey! I find I learn so much from rereading my journals and reflecting on what has happened. Gives me strength for the present time and hope for the future.

Thanks for the reminder about journaling. I really need to be diligent about it in this time. You are right, it will be important later. Much love

yes giving my soul an agenda – that is so me!
Then I read this quote today which also made me smile. Think God is telling me something? LOL

“Map out your future, but do it in pencil.”
– Jon Bon Jovi

I really believe God WILL be with you and will bless you as you walk with him and with courage. What a neat word – full of lessons I am sure. Hope you are keeping a journal of your time in deep water. those words you record will be a wealth of wisdom not just now but later. Blessings!

Oh, yes–I’ve noticed that, too!

I had to chuckle with you about creating an agenda…I often have to remember it is God’s Spirit that leads not me 🙂 and yes to Emily’s words: “This inner world needs our attention, but it doesn’t respond to programs, agendas, or hustle.

The soul responds to space, silence, and Jesus.”

My word for this year is courage. I must admit, when God dropped that into my spirit at the beginning of the year, I had a totally different idea of what I was to be courageous about.
He has called me out upon the deep water. My mind knows I should be afraid, but I am walking with Jesus, no evil shall befall me. Much love.

Thanks for missing me, Martha. And thanks for the reminded that God will show up when he wants and will – that is so true. Have a great holiday weekend.

I like how you are still working on your word. I sometime just hope something would appear but should be more intentionally like you are. Maybe as I read about those desert mothers and father, I will discover something more about stillness. God does work in that way, doesn’t he?

Blog wise – somehow an ad got imbedded into the code so would direct viewer of the blog to their site. grrrr. I was hijacked! but it is fixed now thank heaven.
Priority is a good word. Thanks for pointing that out. I actually quit one of my jobs today so I would have more time for the things I feel God is leading me to. Thanks, Ceil!

How I can so personally relate to that! And creating an agenda for our soul? I’m laughing with you, Jean. The Lord knows I’ve tried to do that only to find He shows up when He will and wants. You’ve been missed, my friend! Blessings to you!

I’m not pursuing one particular focus these days. My attention is a bit fragmented among: a Bible study of life-application lessons from the gospels, devotionals by Selwyn Hughes (almost finished with that book), and “A Vision of God’s Glory” by Anne Graham Lotz, based on Revelation. Meanwhile I’m collecting scriptures, quotes, and thoughts on TRUST, my word for 2015. I’m impressed with your passion for the Desert Mothers and Fathers, Jean!

I’m reading a book about making priorities, and it sounds like that’s just what you are doing. If you have a desire to listen to the Spirit, of COURSE He’s going to show up! He wants nothing more than to be with you, His precious child. I say, enjoy your time together. It’s going to be great 🙂
Good to see you back! Must have been a lulu of a problem?
Weekend blessings,
Ceil
