Yup...so far, no one's interested in our house. Granted it's only been on the market for 5-6 days...but c'mon. I'm gettin' anxious over here!! I'm just getting that feeling we need to get movin'.

Tonight's one of those nights where I just want to be held. To cry and not have them ask anything, but just hold me.
Bleh.
Bleh.

Sometimes, I wonder why a day goes like it does but, then, I realize, it's OK, the Lord leads. I talk to Him, and, He talks to me, it's kind of interesting how it all works. It's by faith I see His hand in my life, it's by just going forth knowing that He IS blessing me through all what I do, the good, the bad, and, like today, work was UGLY. I was half-asleep trading and that is NOT A good combination, but, here it is late again, and, I need to get to sleep, hoping I can get to sleep quickly, get up RESTED , which was not the case today cuz of my trip to Cali just went on and all that hugabaloo of sleeping in another bed, etc. etc.
Sigh, I told the Lord I wish I would have been smart and just taken this day off, but, then, I realized, when I got up, I went INTO MY DAY sans having done my daily devotion !!! It all made sense after that. We are to put God first, I hope, pray, we all REALIZE just what that means , what 'good' that means for the start to our days

God is so amazing how He uses simple things to teach us huge life lessons.
I love that about the Lord. He can use an insignificant event to dramatically change your direction.
He uses many methods to deliver answers we need to hear at just the right time. And most times it's not the answer we wanted, but if we push past our flesh and understanding we end up where we should have been all along. In His will is the only place I want to be.

I have pulled enough weeds out of the garden in the last 2 days that you can ALMOST identify the vegetables that are, miraculously, still managing to grow in there. Actually, the carrots are completely weed-free, and now I'm working on the onions. In between trying to keep my son entertained, and my daughter from squawking. This little girl screams. SCREAMS. And shrieks. And squeals. She kinda sounds like a little piglet, actually. It's horrible. But, when she's not making sounds that make me wish I were deaf, she's beautiful and adorable and super huggable.
I've determined what sort of strange plants are growing at random in my yard (where the dirt pile from digging up the well was). Ivy. Poppies. Tomatoes. I have no idea why I didn't recognize the tomatoes, but it helps that they are now producing...tomatoes...so, that was a good clue.
I've been gardening in capris, hoping the sunshine would stop reflecting off my legs and maybe start turning them a nice brown color. So far, I can't even manage to get burned.
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming....

To much sugar before bed.....lol
I had this crazy dream last night that I was in this huge dark room like a cavern and I was surrounded by these tribal looking people. Just like something out of an Indiana Jones movie. I felt like I was trapped there even though I wasn't tied up or anything. These people just kept looking at me with this crazy wild stare in their eyes and then they slowly started to do this weird dance. They like bounced up and down while pushing their hands in the air, sort of like when people go "whoop! whoop!".
They still had that crazy look in their eyes as they danced but now they were looking all around themselves as if they were in fear. Something told me that I should start doing the dance too if I wanted to survive so I started doing it. Then they focused their attention to the back of the huge room/cavern and it was dark so I couldn't see what they were seeing. Then it emerged from the darkness.. a giant cartoon bug. Yes it was like a 3D animated toy bug but it was huge, like over 10 ft tall and it had this smiley green face but the weird thing is that the bug was walking on its hind two legs and it was doing the same dance that the people were doing except it looked like it was the bug's natural way of moving.
It started to make its way across the room and through the middle of the crowd and I could tell that these people were really frightened and they dared not stop dancing because somehow I knew that if anyone stopped dancing they would be eaten by this thing. I woke up before anything else happened.
This little guy actually looks a lot like the bug in my dream except the one in my dream had 2 more pairs of legs.

In the future, I think, growing gardens will become a 'wealth management' way for many people, it already is a perfect example of reaping what you sow in Scripture, surely, but, that is what I heard today, that land is good to have and to grow a big garden in it will be a great harvest for you, in more ways than one

Listening but not being heard is something ive really struggled with my whole life..ive had to take a look at some things in this lately.. admitting out in the open probably for the first time in my life today that i have always gotten angry when i felt I wasnt being heard or interrupted.. Im sitting in my truck right now looking into the sunrise , just got done having a conversation with someone who finds it more important to be heard than to listen.. i could feel that burning in my gut as i was being interrupted and spoken over... I turned my focus towards God instead of unleashing on someone who doesnt see it..i let loose of my anger before him expressing my emotions with Him, "frustration and anger" .. not listening to the conversation before me... Yes, doing the very thing i was
getting angry about..
so interesting how the Holy Spirit comes to teach... in that moment i was shown a reflection... THIS is exactly what it looled like and felt like every time i was trying to talk to you michelle.... i immediately had a desire to return to the conversation with this individual and observe... Listen... Be sober minded in it.. for the first time in my life, i am lookong at how ive been
before God all these years... talk about a humbling moment .. A repentive moment.. "My God My God, how i have forsaken you".. something happened in this moment... the weight on me
Suddenly shifted.i could literally feel my heart soften... . a veil lifted.. I can suddenly see in a way ive never seen before... This naked moment before God has brought a new insight... such an impact that i know i will be reminded of Him and my own conduct towards Him.. His patience, forgiveness, and tollerance of me in my own state of ill repute.. Gods grace and love, tollerance and mercy towards me is so sufficent..

I am constantly amazed at the genius and contribution that C.S. Lewis has given to Christian apologetics. I normally don't say this sort of stuff, but I really have to wonder how much was God speaking to us through him.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Just WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks Sister WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get off your bed and shout, "It's gonna be a great day." The Lord leads. '...you follow Me.' This sounds great, but are you good on that ? So easy to say, 'Yeah, I'm gonna follow you, Lord, but, WHAT does He have in your path? It is GOOD. Might not seem it. But 'it' is GOOD. Faith-fully believe, and, see."
Taste and see that the Lord is good, see His work in your life, see that He is 'great,' too
--------------
Read from Luke 9 and 11 this morning (devotion) and it's quite interesting, we are either for Him or we are against Him. So, in your day, will you start it out for Him or.......
“Anyone who isn't with me opposes me, and anyone who isn't working with me is actually working against me.”
Your able to drive out DEMONS even 'in Jesus' name,' when you are a 'pure vessel,' one that is of the gold and silver variety thinking/being/living/breathing--and, don't get me wrong, this is not being perfect, we are not perfect, we human beings, only one who's come (and left) Earth was ever perfect, Jesus Christ.
So, God or Satan, who are you going to work with today ? Work for the Lord, doesn't that make sense, afterall, YOU are His work
Ephesians 2: 10 -- For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
