Yes the next piece… Day 5 Psalm 42
I decided to go back and reread this Psalm since I only had part of it listed here and I know there is always so much more. And it was important for me to see and share where I’m feeling now. I was sorta blind-sided, where I was hit with something that I didn’t expect or didn’t know.
I’m always ready for anything, and rarely concern myself about unexpected details. I mean there always seems to be a work around, or something specific that makes everything work out. It’s all good. . .
I highlighted what jumped out at me again . . . . And once again I see and realize how wonderful and awesome my experience has always been. And of course I really never have a reason to question or wonder about anything before me as I am always guided so well.
For example, this morning I woke up and saw my new homeless tenant had cleared out an area by my house. He really did a good job but I had no idea what was next or how to move forward. I heard from Jesus or likely Saint Joseph, to grab my drill gun and go out back to take out the broken section of fence.
What??.
Yes, that seemed odd, but I did it anyway. And as soon as it was opened, the whole space was clear to me, and suddenly I saw exactly what was next for me, and how to proceed on the next phase of cleaning out my property.
More remarkable than anything was how I suddenly looked at the time and it was exactly time for me to stop outside and get ready to run to class and do the next task on my list. Of course, I was really grateful and I thanked Jesus for the guidance and direction. And of course, then I started to pick up more tools and do work again anyway. But then I stopped to go get in the shower and get ready to go accepting the guidance immediately!
It's interesting how I hear the guidance and step to take action in that direction, but then almost immediately I get distracted again to do my own tasks instead of as I get directed. Yea satan, is desperate to interfere and mess me up anyway possible. I guess it's really funny as I know his game and I also know how Jesus is so very clear and strong all the time too . . .
Day 6: Matthew 3:13 came through to me really strong now too. As I highlighted key words and phrases I wasn't clear how they were related or what the focus was. Then going back and rereading l felt the love of God leading and guiding again. How it was really all about Jesus loving God and listening to God's will. Jesus came to John to allow this ritual to continue, clearly honoring the Will of GOD.
This of course, comes through to me so strongly, as each day I struggle to better follow all the tasks before me, accepting the works and challenges openly. Of course, listing to Charles Stanley this morning, he said how important it was to Ask Jesus about your major choices, not necessarily “ALL” the choices, even joking about what to wear or what to eat. And I was laughing, as Jesus has told me both dozens of times, even like ”breaktime, have a beer!” Like yesterday, was another full and complete day where my morning prayerline, had a caller who called back in moments, as he had forgotten to ask for all he really needed. Of course, I had already complimented him on being so clear and focused before doing his first prayer. So with the Second call and prayers, I told him to volunteer for the Prayerline and gave him Linda's email.
Ask and keep on asking, seek and keep on seeking, knock and keep on knocking to get wherever you are going. . . It Figures as SEEL Day 7 is to SAVOR the GRACES from God. So I’m in tears again remembering Betsy and Biking in the blessed Place of Jesus. . . Toasting our earnestness in this spirit and goals before me. I recognized how strong it was to get myself set in my new schedule. And really stepping into it and knowing it’s part of my place. Then the brothers showing up to support me after I sat through a new class I need to do.
Then the next morning we did the Rosary, and telling the Fraternity brothers how wonderful it was to come full-circle. Back teaching what I know best. Back in Church at regular times. And making time for the events and details we need to address each day. I mean, I even brought in my tithing which turned into an excuse to visit the church office with the hymnal that has my mom’s name upside down. . . . Weird as it was they offered to fix the book, and gave me a brick with her name, to go in the new Mother Mary Gardens they are rebuilding.
Wow, all things are exactly where they need to be. . . And I’m savoring every moment of it.
