Yep, that's right. Too much noise/distractions at times can cause me to go on a path that I think is Him calling me to but in reality, it is not Him. It is probably my sympathetic heart wanting to go. So, I am to gather supplies to drop off to the convoy of truckers passing through town this week. I did go purchase some items Saturday. Well, I thought I was buying what Holy Spirit wanted me to buy but not so when I got home. I get up Sunday morning and He shows me to head out to Manchester/Tullahoma. He has me go through the items purchased to take with me to return to the store. I heard Him say get pretzels on Saturday and I did not. Yes, when you love Holy Spirit active in your life you will gladly repent and then follow His lead again to get it right this time. See, that was just the catalyst to get me on the road to head away from the city lights/noise. This time to head directly to Tullahoma first and come back through Manchester. It was as I was getting further away from the city noise, I heard Holy Spirit tell me to not go to a preaching gathering that will be coming up in March. He told me to honor what was requested of me by another, and that is what I will do. It is more important for me to follow Him then follow my own sympathetic heart. See, it was in the leaving the surrounding noises that I got specific clarity to not go somewhere. He knows I have a righteous boldness in me and when I get something in my mind, I do not let things distract me from going forth. It may be uncomfortable to me, but I go and show up where He wants me to be. Just as equally important is me not going places where He tells me not to go for both are in the will and timing of God, do you agree?
Saturday night I watched President Trump speak at CPAC. I noticed something that caused my ears to perk up, he used the word "beautiful" a couple of times throughout his speech. Didn't I just share about BEAUTIFUL in a blog earlier that day? Very Interesting, very interesting. I guess I should post again about the word beautiful today:

I baked chocolate chip cookies the other day and froze them to stay fresh. Yesterday I baked potato chip cookies and also froze them to stay fresh. I already made up a goody plate for my leasing office to enjoy and will give it to them today. Oh, I woke early today from a dream. Very interesting dream and I sought Holy Spirit advice in reference to the dream. Know what, He advised me, and I followed through with what He showed me early this morning. I like to ask Him for scripture confirmation, and it was sitting right beside me on my bed. My Passion Translation bible. I do not recall placing the ribbon in the bible to this exact scripture to read prior to today. He knew I would need to read it and lift my hands/arms in thanksgiving in my bed too. Hidden surprise tucked away for me this morning before I wrote on my blog. He said to make breakfast first then write. I had 1 brown egg left in an egg container. I have been eating hard boiled eggs in the morning with oatmeal, but I did not have 2 eggs already boiled for today. You have to catch this ok. If I would have not prepared the egg exactly how He showed me to I would have missed the hidden blessing in this very day. Would you like to know what the blessing was? He told me to fry it and when I broke the egg to place in the pan there was a double yolk waiting just for me for today. He knows how I loved those double yolk eggs when I would get them from a local farmer when I lived in GA. I would travel about 17 miles or so away to go to a local farm market to purchase these eggs. God never forgets the things you like that are in your heart, does He? When you least expect it there is that simple, yet significant blessing tucked away just for you to find. The catch is this though, you have to be willing to follow Holy Spirit lead.
Oh, 1 more thing. On Saturday I made a purchase and while at another store location discovered inside the bag were 3 items but only 2 rang up. I could have seen it as a hidden blessing tucked away for me, but I did not go that route. I knew what the right thing was to do. I called the store and spoke with the manager and explained what I just found. He told me it was an error, and I could either use the product and bring in the bag and pay for it or I could return it to the store unused the next time I was in the store. He even gave me the option to look at it like a mistake on their part and to follow my thought of what is right or wrong. He gave me his name to let them know that I spoke with him. What do you think I am going to do? It is already in my car not used at all I am going to return it rightfully to the store. See, if I chose to not do the right thing do you think I would have heard with clarity from Holy Spirit on Sunday or my double yolk surprise today? Do what is right and honorable ok.
