Break
Yes, mid-term break. Ohhhh, what a relief it is! Well, almost. I still have an essay due for English on my first day back from break. Still....I plan to enjoy some of this time I have - at least a little this weekend. You know, you never really appreciate what you have until it's gone. I wasted alot of time before I went back to school and complained about my schedule being busy. Now I know what busy is. Working full time and school half time realllly filled my schedule. It probably wouldn't be so bad but for the fact it's been over 20 years since I last went to college, so I press hard to do well and bring my GPA up. Now I intend to enjoy my free time more - really appreciate it and praise God for it. Then it's back to the books. My sched. is planned all the way through till fall term.
I thank God for His leading me back to my childhood dream. Last year, the LORD showed me that in my heart I thought that since I was 40, that my life was over and I was pretty much waiting it out till I see the LORD, either when He comes or when I die. He told me I was very much wrong and still have a lot of living yet to do. This is a new beginning for me, a kind of resurrection from the dead. I've alot of living for the Lord to do. Praise Almighty GOD the GOD of new beginnings. HURRAH!
Surprising answer to prayer!
Yesterday morning during my prayer time I asked God for something I don't usually ask for - I asked Him to bless me.
Immediately after I asked, I had a vision of a child who's father had come home. The father was stout with a white/gray beard approximatly 6" long and wearing a dark coat with several pockets. The child expects some surprise from him and begins poking her little hands into the various pockets.I was soooo concerned that I wouldn't be able to recognize the blessing. I was telling God that I didn't trust my being able to reconize it and I told him I felt like I didn't have the hands to reach into the pockets for the blessing. Then I said I'd trust Him and keep my eyes open for the blessing.
Yesterday afternoon at work, I was working at a table close to a window. Where I work are many windows and the shop is situated in a fairly open area with a meadowish field around it. I was startled to see a fuzzy (hair sticking straight out - I think it was cold) 6" or so rodent running/hopping across the top of the snow toward the window and to the building. I lost site of him close to the building under my window. Suddenly I was startled to see it's head pop up out of the snow a few feet away from the building. After that, he'd burrow under the snow a couple of feet, pop back up, look around, go under again, go another few feet, and pop up again. He continued this toward the front of the building. Then I lost site of him again. Then I saw a running movement of the snow that looking like a mole or ground squirrel path but in the snow, then he popped up again. He re-checked some holes he'd previously popped out of then he disappeared and didn't come back. He was so very entertaining and cute. I thanked God for him and told Anna that this was the blessing God showed me that morning.
I realized later how accurate the vision God gave me was. The dark coat and the white/gray beard on the father represented the colors of the rodent - dark from just about cheek level up and all down it's back, and whitish/gray under chin, neck and belly. The pockets on the coat were the various little holes the rodent popped up out of. It looked stout like the father when I first saw it because it's hair was sticking out, although once it started popping in and out of the holes, it looked skinny - like the child's small hands. Lastly, it was about 6" long like the father's beard.
I looked up tonight what it was - it's called a Least Weasel, the tiniest carnivore. Here is a link to it
Least Weasel at E-Nature.
God showed me that not only does He answer even our small prayers, but He also showed me I don't have to worry about recognizing the answer - He's fully capable of giving me enough information that I will readily recognize that answer. My God is sooooo awesome. Thank you LORD.
