Yesterday I found out that my sister's pet was not going to make it until Friday when it was going to be put to sleep by the vet. This family pet was rapidly declining so yesterday was the day for him to be put asleep by the vet. I received a text message and an email yesterday afternoon letting me know they were on their way to the vet's office. I was at my desk on a break and I had tears well up in my eyes. I am most thankful that my niece was able to make it home and spend some time with him yesterday.
See, when you love someone (even if it is a pet) you will somehow make time to re-arrange your schedule somehow to allow the time needed to be where you need to be right? Well, maybe I was writing prophetically the other day when I first wrote that I created the new praise hand held banner to worship Wednesday night with Jesus because both pets were in heaven with Him. The other day I went and edited that blog message to adapt it to what I was told that it was going to be delayed until Friday. I am not going to go back and edit again since I am writing this today. I had to edit it because I also spelled the flavored coffee I mentioned and I also corrected that too.
My heart is heavy and all I know is go to the altar and praise Jesus. I was a little complacent for a few moments but Holy Spirit kept showing me the very spot in which I was to stand and praise. So in faith I take my newly created worship banner and instruments and I head to the altar. I place the rain stick on the altar steps and I have the 2 shaker percussion instruments I believe in my one hand and I then begin to praise not with the instruments but the banner. I do love when Holy Spirit flows through me in worship I truly do. It is as though my minds eyes see the actual motions and movements to take with the banner in my hand. This is how it also works when I have a praise instrument I am playing also. I am so glad I read the banner colors sheet I published the other day because Holy Spirit would remind me to use some of those very movements with the praise banner in my hand.
When that song was done I then laid it down on the altar steps and it was time to incorporate the instruments. I am so glad I can place the 2 shaker instruments in my right hand and the rain stick in my left hand because there are times when you need to play both at the same time or pause with one and then play the other. I had to balance myself at times because I could feel the anointing flowing through me and it is as if I feel like I am going to take off and fly or lift up and I balance myself so as to not topple over. I only felt Holy Spirit urging me to stay at the altar for so many songs then I sat down and continued to worship at my seat.
I wanted so very bad to close my eyes and see both of these pets running and having fun in heaven it did not happen last night but this did happen...It was a though I had the 2 shaker instruments in my right hand and they sort of froze in position there and I kept hearing the words "Look at Me look into My eyes." My eyes were closed and my head looked upward slightly and then I kept hearing the same words and each time my head tilted upward even more.
I then came out of it and a smile was on my face. Jesus is real, He cares, and He loves me. That is my experience from yesterday. Moral of this story...when you are down and feeling low do not stay there worship Him and the burden lifts because you are going to Him with a sincere heart filled with sadness and He then takes sadness and turns it into dancing. Yes He does just try it and see ok. Peace I speak to your hearts this very day.
