This is how it all happened. I shared a bit of this the other day. Holy Spirit was moving upon my heart to pull back from this retreat. I already paid for it and would lose money if I did not attend at this point. Holy Spirit is wise and knows best for my life. I was not flippant in the least but sought Him for confirmation. He spoke to my heart and also to a friends heart. It was then confirmed in a brief but poignant video clip He showed me. I already notified the perspective people that I would not be attending the retreat. You know, do you tend to doubt a teeny bit after you follow through with something like this on occasion? That is why He confirmed that I did the right thing not only with a friend praying; my video clip; but also with speaking with my spiritual mother. He is faithful.
Let's back this up a bit if I may. I had a dream 1/27/2020 around 5:00AM and I specifically heard the date of "June 4, 2020" in this dream and I wrote about it in one of my dream journals. Something of significance was to take place in my life on that day. The retreat was scheduled for 6/5/2020-6/6/2020. I felt led to tack on a day before the retreat started to drive to Gatlinburg and spend the time with Jesus on the trip since I knew of the importance of that date.
So, I am now not going to Gatlinburg and I am working on 6/4/2020. I felt led to drive into a quaint town in which I worked in when I first moved to this state in 2014. I did some shopping at a Tuesday Morning; Whole Foods; and a Kroger after work that day. I guess it was a bit of Holy Spirit time the drive to and from. I felt urged to get some Noosa yogurt while at Kroger's and I picked up a container of honey flavored. I love a great deal and it was only 0.89. I was going to expire in a few days. I was a bit disappointed because I was not on the road trip with Jesus to the mountains of Gatlinburg but that passed. When I arrived home in my mailbox was a book sent to me, "A Call to the Secret Place Pursuing the Prize of God's Presence." I remember opening the envelope and a letter was also included with the book. As I read the letter my heart began to be moved with the words and I began to cry for this person. I cried a bit and prayed for them. I put the package aside.
June 5th I am compelled to pick up the book and HolySpirit says go to page 39 and I read it then placed the book back down. It was something I read that intrigued me. I woke up on 6/6/2020 and Holy Spirit gives me direction for this very day. It was going to be a day of fasting like He showed me along with reading the entire book today. That task was completed @ 4:36PM this afternoon. I said to the Lord I have to pack up my belongings to move and still find a place to move to. He gently reminded me that I was supposed to be away this weekend and would not have been able to pack if I was gone. He had a pretty good point, do you think so? This is how He directed me … I would read a section then lay down and rest a bit. Go back on the patio and read another section, rest and then finish up the book. Today was a hot day but I do not get the sun until late afternoon so it was quite comfortable reading on the patio.
Before I got started reading today I gave my plants the weekly MiracleGro and refreshed the hummingbird nectar. It was pleasant as I was reading hearing the birds sing and on occasion I would look up to see them enjoying the bird seed. As I am spending the day away with Holy Spirit He reminds me of things to connect with what I am reading. In some of the stories Carmelite and Ursuline nuns are made mention of. I shared before that my dad left money to Catholic organizations. Both of these nun organizations were listed in his will. It was a Carmelite nun that contacted me when she saw the uneven distribution of my father's estate amongst everyone listed. She was reaching out to us to see if there was anything their organization could do to help us. That was the nun that indirectly sent me on a quest to search out information on a trust fund via a church acquaintance of mine that was in banking. That led me to another person that questioned why we were not contesting our father's will. That kind act spurred us onto contesting the will.
As I am reading I am then reminded of the time in the 1990's that a local evangelist was preaching at church. I felt led after the service to share with him one of my journal entries. He then responded to me to seek out Sister Gwen Shaw of End Time Hand Maidens and send it to her. I never heard of a Gwen Shaw let alone End Time Hand Maidens. He did not have an address so I had to look up that information. Now, I do not have it logged in my journal that I sent something to her in the mail but knowing me I probably did so. I was searching through a journal just a bit ago and found a great couple page long deliverance prayer. I sure did pray it again today.
All in all, I did have my time with Jesus, Just in a different manner than I expected. God is GOOD ALL THE TIME.
The miracle and divine providence in this very day … my neighbor above me must not be home because I had no walking noises to distract my day with Jesus. Be it resting and praying in the spirit or writing too. Peace and quiet the way I like it.
