If you should find yourself sitting in the dark with a candle or two do not be afraid God speaks in the dark too.

A few days ago I found myself sitting in the dark with a few candles and no distractions. You may say to yourself that is quite odd. It is odd unless you had your electricity interrupted. I was extended an invitation to stay at a friends house that evening and I declined the generous offer. I really felt Holy Spirit saying to me to rest in Him that very night. That is exactly what I did. I sat with a few candles lit and there was a beautiful glow to my home. I even read the bible by candlelight. As I was resting I was shown one of those bleeps I use to get when I first became born again. I described them to you several times before. When this happens the image just appears before me. I had my dream interpretation book near me so I looked it up. It was not a dream I was awake I sought this book because it has explanations of symbols that people tend to remember in a dream. This is a very insightful book that you can order on my blog page if you whisk through the carousel of books at the top of my page. This is what I was shown, seven rams and what stood out most were their horns. I know nothing about rams but they looked like they were ready to charge into battle of some sorts. Since the main thing I saw were the horns and the number of them that I counted that is what I researched. This is what I found, seven represents complete; all; finished; rest. Horns represent authority; power; ability; kings; anointing. I just knew to rest in the King's (Jesus) anointing from the interpretation and that is exactly what I did. That particular day was a bit draining on me and the rest in the Lord was quite welcome. Things happen in life and I am seeing that satan really can ask for the hedge of protection that is around a believer to be lifted to see if you will still praise or curse God. What do you think I did that day? If you know me at all you answered that I found praise in that very day. I will share this with you. Those that you least think would come to your aid are the very one's that did. Those that one would think would try and assist tend to fall to the wayside for whatever reason. I think when one discovers this in their life that the mere thought of being forgotten can take a toll on you far greater than one would think. Do not let yourself stay there. Get up and go onward and upward OK. We have all been there before, being let down. A quitter stays there in that mindset but not an "energizer bunny". Yes, that is what I equate my likeness to. I just keep getting back up and moving in a forward motion.
Very few around me knew the happenings of that day. I love to do this when things are down I tend to strengthen up and go and minister to someone. That particular day I sought a new testament bible and went to the mechanic that I led to the Lord a few weeks ago and handed it to him. I told him that he will get to know who he really is through the life of Jesus and for him to read it. If he ever needed direction and no one would be around he would find it by picking up that book and reading it. I spoke with a man that evening and out of nowhere he said to me that I should write a book. I shared with him that I am already doing that via my blog for now. One day you will see this book you truly will see it. I learned the other day that part of this book is me; my life; and daily experiences married with the wisdom of Holy Spirit and His creativity flowing through me. I then encouraged this man to write too. He also takes photographs and I shared with him that he can add his pictures to his writing if he used the vehicle of a blog page. I went to sleep and had peace all day long if that makes sense. I woke very early the next day while it was still dark outside and something unusual happened to me. This time my eyes were closed and it was as if I was seeing a video being shown to me. It lasted several minutes and I will not share what was shown to me for that is for me to tuck into my heart for another time.
Two times within a short span of time I was able to get guidance from Holy Spirit all because I had no distractions around me. Rest is a good thing and a very good thing at that. It really is. When you are hit hard with something do not grumble and complain find something in your life to be thankful about and reach out to someone that just may need your ministry. It boils down to this it is not all about you and what you want, and your whining and complaining it is about reaching out to others. If you reach out to others and even strangers too as a part of your life then when your time of need may happen to hit you do not be surprised that Holy Spirit will place those around you that will aid you. Do not reach out to others with the intent of seeking something in return you must cultivate this as a part of your lifestyle in which you are truly drawn to others with a heart of compassion driven by love. Yes, that is it. Driven by nothing other than love for people. If you let the Lord, He will place this love inside of your heart so you will then be able to share it with others. It is nice to bless those you know but what is even finer is to bless those that you may not know today but through the blessing you will know them tomorrow. Seek the Lord with all your heart, truly seek Him. In the seeking of Him you will find a life that is full of wonder and when you retire at the end of a day you will look back on His hand guiding you throughout the day. You will see His touch in your life through the lives of others interacting in your life.
Before I close for the evening let me share with you an update on how many wasps were caught in the wasp catcher. I cleaned it out several days ago and there were over 100. I stopped counting when I hit 100.

One more thought, I never dreamt that so many people would be blessed by the little tribute I created for my daughter via smilebox. A project created for her with love in my heart. Imagine that!!!
