Psalm 24:1
The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world,
and they that dwell therein.
I haven't written much lately, but I hope to write more often, beginning today. I posted several devotionals from Derek Prince Ministries which were on target for me at the times I shared them and trust they were of benefit to anyone who may have read them.
I've been in a time of discovery. A time of learning, often painfully, how to live now in this unexpected season of my life where everything changed suddenly. Discovering my customary or default mode of overthinking almost everything had to change. I'm learning how, with His help, not to "live there" any longer. And Woo Hoo! It's been a challenge. So, in keeping with that thought I'll just say, I want to start writing again but hopefully with greater depth and relevance, yet with greater simplicity with as much lightness of heart as possible.
Since September of last year (2018) I started 3 journals-the first time ever I've done such a thing. Not that I filled them up with writing, but each time I knew I needed to change to a new one, a strong inward sense arose inside me that I needed to set up a new one. I understood instinctively how I organized them in the past needed to improve, as well as my reasoning about why I kept including all the "extra stuff" I felt I had to keep in them. With each change the "stuff" lessened producing a lighter, more efficient place to journal things of the heart. The last one, a green binder I had left over after combining 3 years worth of journals into 1 large notebook. Green because it represented new life to me as well as having a comfortable familiarity about it since I had used it before. I'm still in the place of discovery, but who knows, this new thing could continue on since none of us has ever been this way before.
I began to see more clearly the reason for the changes. While participating in the volunteer prayer program at Kenneth Copeland Ministries during one of the prayer sessions, I heard The Holy Spirit within say in a matter of fact tone:
Destiny Days are here.
The new green journal was prepared in March 2019, and those are the words written in green ink on the cover sheet, which by the way, I've never had before either. Also, there's another first for this one, my current journal has a name:
...written with large letters, and yes, in green ink, underlined twice with an exclamation point afterwards on the cover sheet!
Uncomplicated
And to describe my life journey a bit more clearly, I'm ending this post with what I was inspired to add beneath "Uncomplicated" several weeks ago, and I hope you enjoy it (it's in regular size cursive, but written in red):
and to be uncomplicated, you have to be "uncluttered", not having or impeded by too many objects, details or elements. hahahahahaaaa !!!
So far, this journal is the neatest, most uncluttered one I've had to date. Trusting my life inwardly and outwardly will far surpass my journal as I trust Him that none of those things I've been receiving and hearing from Him will return to Him void but will prosper in the thing He sent it to do in me. So let it be done unto me, LORD, even as you have said!
He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God
