Season of travel...

My prayer:

I definitely got the time for rest today God. Thank you for that luxury. 

We are almost at the new year. 2017 seems to have passed in a flash. I am not even sure I remember most of it. Maybe I should go back through our posts for the year and see if that gives a clearer picture. 

Most years, there seems to be a bit of a theme. There are years of growth and years of death. Years of joy and years of sorrow. But this year was kind of a fire hose of everything. So much that I think I am left a bit numb. I can only take so much in. 

I think that is why I am enjoying all this quiet time at home right now. It is pretty wonderful to be a bit isolated and not constantly bombarded with everything that comes with being out in the world. I know that soon I will have to go back out but right now, I am really enjoying the peace and quiet of home. 

Thank you for always giving me just what I need God.

What God Said Tonight:

There is a season of travel coming to you. Your time at home is in preparation. Getting your home in order so you can travel the world without worry is the purpose behind this time of rest. 

Remember always that whether we are out and about or home safe and snug, I am with you and I will give you what you need for that moment in that time. I am the great provider. I am your Father and teacher. I am the one that loves you above everything else. 

An undemanding God...

My prayer:

Thank you for a simple and good day God. This has been a season of finding joy in the simple things in life. I don't need a lot to be contented. A lot less than I use to think I needed.

Thank you for showing me the joy in simpleness.

What Good Said Tonight:

I love you. I don't need anything from you, not a single thing. Just rest and know that my love is in you and around you. The love bubble is active and functioning with no glitches. 

Hope vs. Hell...

My prayer:

You were right God. Today was full of surprises but following your lead, it was peaceful and no problem. Thank you for your guidance, love, and care for me. I am so grateful of you. 

I am grateful that you have already promised that you will never leave me or forsake me. I can't imagine a minute without you. That would be hell.

What God Said Tonight:

A world without me is a world without hope., The actual definition of hell is to be removed from me. I will not let that happen to you in this life or the next 

Follow...

My prayer:

I am at peace and loving you. That is a pretty wonderful place to be. What is on your mind tonight God?

What God Said Tonight:

Life is about to become a bit unexpected again. I will guide you through it. Hang on to me and we will walk through each twist and turn. 

There are hazards that I will guide you around. There are joys I will take you to. Follow me and you will never be sorry. 

My angels are around you and we are prepared. Your task is to follow.

Light of the world...

My prayer:

The night before your birth. I know we probably have the day, even the time of year wrong, but to imagine that night. Mary had to be so frightened and excited. John had to be worried and confused. Did they have complete assurance of who you were or did they have doubts? 

I would think there had to be doubts. No one had ever seen a savior, God in human form on earth. No woman had ever given birth without having carnal relations. But, maybe, their experience with you was so profound that it scattered all doubt? I hope so, for their sakes. 

Any way, just the random musings on Christmas eve. I love you and can't wait to celebrate your birthday!

What God Said Tonight:

The lights that shone, from the sky and from the earth. That is what I remember of that night. They were beautiful and seemed to announce the beginning of something never seen before. 

I am the light of the world and that night, all light seemed to celebrate my coming. 

I love you and I am your light.

Until Jesus comes back...

My prayer:

Thank you for getting me home safe tonight God. The storm was intense. 

Nights like tonight remind me how blessed I am to have a safe and warm home to come home to. I pray for every person who does not have that luxury tonight. Awesome Father, take them to shelter. Keep them safe. Keep them warm. 

Thank you Jesus.

What God Said Tonight:

Nights together, those are what I crave. No worries of food and shelter, I will and am taking are of it.

In the meantime, notice the people around you. Care for them until I get back. They need my love more than ever. 

Let God in...

My prayer:

There are times when I need you God and then there are times that I just want you in my life. I don't know which is better. Needing you is more intense but wanting you seems better somehow. Like the difference between a friend who needs you vs. one that chooses you.

I don't know where I am going with this. Would you rather be needed or wanted? Which shows greater faith and love?

What God Said Tonight:

Away from your hand and into my will. There is no one right way to love me. 

There are those who know me and love me. There are those who want to know me and love me. I value both equally. 

Your need for me is something you were born with. Your want of me comes from your heart. 

I really don't care why you let me in your life, need, want, or confusion. All I care about is that you do let me in your life. All healing, all change, all love, comes from you letting me in to you. 

I love you now and forever.
