Don't lose faith and begin to doubt now, for your breakthrough is closer @ hand then you think or realize. There is purpose to all this crazy like happenings all around you if that makes sense. You know me, I tend to get my prophetic, Holy Spirit dreams in the mid sleep night or early watch time frame, around the 3AMish hour or closer to daybreak. I was wakened up way too early today for a Jesus dream given to me. I confirmed it with Holy Spirit when asking if it was a dream from Him or a dream not from Him. He assured me it was not from Him. What the enemy means for evil God can turn around and bring it for good. How do I know, because that dream timing caused me to get up and do a few things around the house, like trim back the stems on my tomato plant that are not producing any fruit. I love seeing cherry tomatoes growing indoors with the Aero Garden. I am getting them ready to plant them outside when the timing is just right. It is all about the right timing. So, Holy Spirit is speaking to me to write and that is what I am doing now. Scripture, He had me read prior to writing is Isaiah 21 "Babylon Has Fallen." The entire chapter I read.
The basil plant, a 2nd cherry tomato plant and mint are starting to emerge now in the Aero Garden. This indoor gardening is quite fun because this time of the year I can get them ready to transplant outside. Whomever invented this concept is a genius. I even started from seeds a small container of chives that are growing just fine not immersed in the growing water system but by me watering them as needed and it is the growth light that is creating them to grow just lovely. Oh, let me clarify this in regard to dreams. I am not saying Holy Spirit cannot give you a dream early as opposed to roughly the same, usual time frame. He can give as He so chooses to give dreams. My point in the today dream was I knew to ask Him if the dream was or was not from Him.
Let's talk about God's timing now. The other day I had a few errands to run, and I made a list and followed the list. I needed more Aloha protein bars, so I was heading to Whole Foods first then eventually to Sprouts Market to pick up a few more there also. Oh my gosh, these bars are amazing and taste good also. Let me tell you I am down that aisle right by the protein bar location and I see a gentleman taking pictures of the shelves displaying the items. I said excuse me to him and asked if he was by any chance the rep for Aloha bars. He was and we began to talk about the flavors I liked, and he shared some also about what he has tried and liked so far. Apparently, this particular company does not give out samples to their reps to try them. I mentioned how when I worked for Estee Lauder, we received gratis a couple of times throughout the year for us to try the products. Aloha Protein Bar executives may I gently suggest giving samples to your representatives to try so they can then recommend them to others. Just my thoughts on that subject. I also shared how the not so good flavors were in box form to purchase at Sprouts Market and I requested if they could get boxes of the better flavored bars. Here is my rundown on what flavors I like and do not like. I tried the Lemon Cashew Crunch, Maple Sea Salt & Coconut Chocolate Almond. What I do is purchase a single bar to test if I would like it and then know if I would buy more or not in the future. The first 2 I did not particularly care for but did like the almond one except I will probably not get that one because it is 30 calories higher than the average calorie count on the other flavors. Here are my personal favorites so far: Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Chocolate Mint, Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Chocolate Caramel Pecan. I find they are great with a cup of decaf tea. Such a yummy treat. Sometimes I will opt for 1 for breakfast with a cup of tea.
I went the other day and could not find baked Amish treats for my 2 neighbors because the store only had 1 package of chocolate chip cookies and the date, they were made was 4/16. To me it was not worth purchasing with that date on them even though the store clerk said they were good for 2 weeks. I then went to Publix and bought the package of assorted Italian cookies. Made 2 treat bags for both neighbors and had enough still to bring into work also. So, while @ Trader Joe's I spoke with someone I think they may have been in management if they could recommend a sweet treat to add to my cookies for the neighbors. We settled on these adorable spring flower shaped chocolate with chocolate mousse inside them. I also bought some fresh flowers and shared with this young man how their fresh flowers just seem to last longer than other places where you can buy fresh flowers.
I am adding 1 more sweet connection I had that day with it being @ Sprouts Market. I'm standing in line to pay, and a really trendy dressed person was before me. I noticed she had bobby pins in her hair, and I said excuse me I noticed you have bobby pins in your hair I think these decorative bobby pins I am wearing would look really cute in your hair. She shared how she had not as thick of hair like mine and didn't think they would work so I took mine out to show her I thought it would work since it was not constructed loosely it would hold in the hair. I told her she could get them @ Ulta, they carry cute ones. She did not have with her a Sprouts grocery bag. You know they charge you now for a durable bag @ 0.10 for each one. She, like myself have done before when shopping there have them, but they are in our trunk. I learned from past experience if I have some in my trunk and I am checking out to just have the salesperson place the items back in my cart and I then take them to the car and place them in my Sprouts Market bags. I had 1 with me so I offered her my shopping cart to place her items in to carry to her car. She thanked me for the bobby pin suggestion and giving her my shopping cart to use. It costs you absolutely nothing to share kindness with others. Now please truly be sincere when complimenting others, just don't go around doing that for the sake of doing it okay. Holy Spirit shows you the very moment with the very words to encourage and lift up others.
The thoughts to this story ...hang in there, follow Holy Spirit direction and you just never know whom He may place across your path to meet. Someone possibly of influence whom has an ear to listen and you just never know ... your suggestions may be put into place. Isn't God grand, I think He is.
