Ramblings...

I am overwhelmed.  In a good sort of way, but still, overwhelmed.  I'm at a place in my life where I feel like I'm receiving so much blessing I can't even absorb it all.  In all kinds of ways and through so many different venues.  This morning I shut myself up with the Lord for a few hours and thought it was going to be about intercessory prayer.  Instead, I found myself on the receiving end of such incredible truth.  It was so overwhelmingly beautiful that I couldn't even quite wrap my mind around it all.  It's about hell, and about heaven too.  I love it when the Lord teaches me that way.  Often I will just allow the idea that is most prominent in my spirit to surface and put it on paper.  Then the Lord opens it up so fully and so amazingly I feel like I've just discovered a crystal cave.  (Speaking of which, remember how I was telling you about eternal treasures looking like superman's cave? Check These Photos out.)  It's almost exactly what I saw in my head.  I then followed my concordance through the Scriptures and was able to look at how present the teaching the Spirit had given me is there, but I had never looked at it in quite that light--certainly not with that degree of understanding. (That's what Rev. Mary calls being Holy Ghost taught.) 

Anyways, I'm going to try with the Lord's help to pull it together soon into a cohesive piece of writing, but I'm so overcome with all the Lord is doing right now that I begged Him to give me rest this afternoon.  It's enthralling and exhausting all at the same time.  I stole a 20 minute nap and then did what I love to do best to relax when my mind won't stop--I cooked. (With a glass of wine by my side of course.)  My family appreciates it when I relax that way.  Today it was Minestrone.  It's a vegan recipe (unless you use parmesan cheese) and it is sooooo delicious.  Hmmm...I think I feel another vegan fast coming on. 

Maybe until the cruise.  Matt and I are going on a cruise to Bermuda in April.  It was the Lord's idea, and I know that a very special joy will come from it.  I'm SO excited. 

Matt got promoted again.  I'm just sitting back and watching God fulfill his promises.  My Aunt is coming this weekend from Iowa.  It'll be a girly weekend for sure.  The Lord is teaching me. He gave me a gorgeous Coach bag to remind me.  Sounds crazy doesn't it?  But He loves to give us good gifts.  Mine just happens to be a beautiful shade of green.  Every day I am in school. (His school.) It is the most amazing thing that I could never explain because you probably wouldn't even believe it if I did but I feel like I've been given the keys to the Kingdom. 

Remember how the Lord restored to Job all that he had lost x 10?

Well, I'm beginning to understand what that felt like.

Blessings,
