I am staying at a lovely Airbnb. I believe it is a century home. At one time it was a bed n breakfast but now it is an Airbnb. I can imagine when speaking with one of the owners that it was much more work and time consuming to run a bed n breakfast.
I am staying in a lovely room. It is called I believe The Rose Room. There is incredible peace in this room. Now, please know that I also pray in advance prior to me staying somewhere. So it is on a spiritual level cleansed and prepared for my stay if that makes sense to you. Before I ever laid my head on my pillow (yes, my pillow I brought with me) I had some of the Dalton, GA anointing oil with me and I anointed the headboard of the bed. You may think this is a bit humorous so you can chuckle at it. I usually bring a comfortable mattress topper with me when I travel because you just do not know if the location will have a comfortable bed there or not. I hesitated on bringing it with me this time or not. Holy Spirit said leave it back home. He was right. This is a very comfortable bed it really is.
So I get up from this dream I had this morning. I am not going into details for Holy Spirit says not to. I can share this much with you … a child around whatever age a child may be when in 1st grade or so just stood at my bedside and it was not quite daybreak yet and this child spoke not a word to me. Just looked at me and stood by the bedside. I thanked them for they were my alarm/my wake up call. Hum, I will need to further research this when I get back home with my dream interpretation books.
I truly felt compelled to kneel at the side of this bed this morning and take communion. I brought with me the little communion cups. You know the kind where the wafer and juice are in the container.
This is not a coincidence that I switched rooms prior to coming on this trip. The reason I thought was because 1 room did not have an en suite and I did not want to go into a hallway to use a restroom. I see now why the room switch. Recently I would say maybe over a year or so ago we discovered through dna testing that there was a cousin that was welcomed into our family. I only briefly met this cousin at a family funeral. We did not have the opportunity to sit down and talk though. I am staying in the room named of all names her name. I took communion and prayed for this woman.
May I be a bit blunt with you? I guess me and another cousin were trigger points for this woman to research a bit more about her father. I remember when I got my dna test results and it was listing a name I never heard of that could be a first cousin. Again, I asked my mom who is this person and she did not know. She reached out to one of my cousins and they met. The rest is history so to speak. When you do dna testing all kind of things may pop up in your family bloodline. Be careful and go into it with an open mind ok. There was a family indiscretion that took place at one time and I seemed to be the only one with the stern heart so to speak in the family. Everyone was so loving and accepting but I was questioning this indiscretion of a relative. See, you do not really know someone do you? You think they are someone until you find out something otherwise about them right?
I had to just lay this down because Jesus would not judge us when we were in our sin right? He forgives and washes us clean with His blood He shed on the cross just for us. So who am I to judge. I actually got it today. This was my ah ha moment early this morning. So when an opportunity should arise to sit down and greet this cousin with love and a welcoming heart I will do so. I was thinking too highly of myself as I would say do not tell me this or that about this person I do not want to hear about it. Jesus would not do that would He? No, He would say welcome into my family. That is what I will do in the natural when I get an opportunity to do so.
At church last night we laid down old baggage so we could go forward with new gifts. I do believe this act early this morning was just a continuation of last night worked out in action. How, I took communion and prayed and interceded for my new found cousin. She is older than me by a few years. Would you like to know the sad part of this story? My uncle never even knew he had a daughter, he would have been an excellent and responsible father if he knew he had a daughter. See, he had a love for children he was a teacher. He was also an excellent snow ski instructor and would take kids on ski trips to Peak N Peak. This is funny, he took all of us cousins once to a local ski resort in which he taught skiing as an instructor outside of his teaching at a school. I found out that skiing is really not a interest for me but hey I did try it out I really did. I think it is because there are so many variables meaning you could fall and get hurt. I am pretty practical when it comes to things like that. Isn't that funny I take so many risks when Holy Spirit says go here; do this; say that and I think nothing of it but when it comes to potential physical harm I am guarded. Hum, is that wisdom I do not know.
So, moral to this story … do not judge and be open to laying down old baggage so you can go through the eye of the needle which is low to go. Humble yourself and let go of the negative thoughts and be free to soar way above with all God has destined for your very life ok.
