Month: December 2017

2017 is closing and 2018 is opening up, with all new possibility’s. What am I going to bring forward from last year? Connections I have made with the Lord, friendships I have made, writings I have done,(which I will be posting here soon) and truths I have learned.

What will I leave behind? Hurts, anger and rejections I have felt. Judgments I have made. Offences I have taken. Negative thoughts that have clouded my mind.

I want to start the new year fresh, free and clean. I don’t mean physically although that’s good too. I mean mentally and spiritually fresh, free and clean. I cant do this alone. I need the the Lords guiding grace to show me the way, and help me stay on the path. I know I will wander off at times. I’m not perfect, far from it. I will do the best I can do and rely on the Lord for the rest. I know he will guide me and be there for me.

I want to learn what plans and purposes the Lord has for me. I want to start listening to Him better and more. I want to be the person God created me to be. I want to be His voice. Maybe reading this will make you think, maybe reading this will make you wonder, maybe reading this will make you want.

I pray that if you start yearning for something more that you reach out to God, you read his word and you find someone who can help you on your journey. Happy New Year, may the Lord Bless you and keep you. Amen.

I can’t for this work day to end.
I can’t wait for my child to come home.
I can’t wait till payday.
I can’t wait…

I say I can’t wait a lot, I think we all do. Truth is I can wait, we all can we just don’t want to.

Saying I can’t wait is like wishing our lives away. We are so focused on what we are waiting for that we miss out on what is here now. We rush through the days leading up to an event. When we look back to our “I can’t wait” time, days or even weeks  are gone and we can’t remember what happened. The date on the calendar is later but our memories are blank. We wished the days away, days we can’t get back. The’re gone forever.

We have a finite number of days on  this earth and we don’t know when our time is up. We need to make the most our days. We don’t want to wish away our last day, at least I don’t.

I find when I wish away my days waiting for something, it’s here and gone in a flash and I feel let down. The anticipation is gone and I’m looking for the next thing to look forward to, instead of just enjoying my days. Taking each day as it comes. I need to stop saying I can’t wait, because I can wait and I can enjoy the wait.

Waiting on earthly things makes it easier to wait on Godly things. I need to wait on the Lord. I need to love and trust the Lord. I need to be patient and enjoy the life He gave me. I need to stop wishing my life away. Do you?

Back in April I was taking the Hearing Gods Voice course and on one of the nights we were taught that God has a meeting place with all of us. We were asked to ask God where our meeting place is. This is a journal entry about it.

Lord where is our meeting place?

The castle in the sky that we built when you were a child. I want you to come back to it. I want to play with you again, you are very special to me. We were best friends then and we can be again. I have waited many years for you to come back. I have missed you. I want to spend time with you daily again. You didn’t understand who I was then, you do now so imagine how much better it will be. You are my beloved.

There was another entry about our meeting place where He mentions the sandcastle and how we used to play in the clouds but I cant find it. If I do I will post it.

This is the place where I will be meeting with the Lord. I will be posting my thoughts, dreams, and conversations with Him.

The story behind my Sandcastle.

When I was a child I had an invisible friend, not an imaginary friend(there IS a difference),who came and played with me when I was alone.  We played at the park, swinging so high our feet touched the sky jumping off the swings onto the clouds. We played tag and ball and skipping, all kinds of games. Sometimes we just sat and talked. His favorite thing to  play was Prince and Princess, and together we built a sandcastle. We played in the sandcastle a lot.

I never knew his name when I was a child just that he was a little boy and he liked me even when my other friends didn’t. I could always count on him. Almost 40 years later I finally learned His name. My invisible friend was Jesus, and although I forgot about the sandcastle and stopped playing with Him and talking to Him, He never forgot me and He never left me.

It has been on my heart for a while to start this journal and I finally did.               So welcome to my Sandcastle.
