Day 9: Just Ask
You WANT it, NOW.! But you are not getting it. NOW!. You wonder why, because you PRAY, PRAY, and PRAY, because didn't JESUS say, "Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives, and he who keeps on seeking finds, and to him who keeps on knocking, it will be opened" (Matthew 7:7-8)? So you KEEP ASKING and you KEEP SEEKING

Day 8: Flowers Amongst The Weeds
You look to the left. Dead flowers. You look to the right, Dead flowers. You look straight ahead. Dead flowers. Where is THE JOY? How can JOY sprout up in the desert? Does JOY have to be SEEN to be experienced? Or is it that REAL JOY is a JOY that shows up in the darkest, deadest, and driest, spaces and places so that you experience REAL JOY that never leaves. Look to the left. "O GOD, YOU are my GOD; with deepest longing I will seek YOU..." Look the right. "My soul [my l

I was also surrounded by a quietness, that I have never heard before. There I was. All alone. So this mind of mine started wandering and thinking~ "If no one knew I existed, does not mean I don't exist?" Pretty creepy thought, but think about it.

Day 5: Freedom To Live
GOD keeps reminding me how HE saved me from a life that had me crawling like a caterpillar, so that I could FLY. But was it easy to FLY when I first got my wings, when all I knew was to crawl? Oh no, not for me. I felt like a butterfly in a cocoon, flapping my wings as I looked at all the other butterflies flying and my wanting be one of them. But I was one of them. So I asked GOD, "What is blocking the doorway to my cocoon?". And what does GOD do when you ASK? HE ANSWERS. F

Day 4: Don't Lose Heart
It is like a slow leak. You don't know it is happening, until it happens. One moment you are filled with CONFIDENCE in the LORD, so that nothing shakes you. And then it happens. Your CONFIDENCE begins to dwindle, because what you SEE and what you FEEL makes you LOSE HEART. You feel as if someone is nibbling at your heart making it LESS. It is still beating, but you feel as you are missing a beat. You lose your footing. TO LOSE HEART~ DEMORALIZED! What a descriptive word. DEMO
