My dear Father, I’m once again not knowing my way forward. I need to come into the lane with you but I don’t know what the right lane is or if I’m already in line with you.
My dear daughter, the best way there is to rest, and don’t look down.
Father, the kind of rest I want, sitting right next to you on the couch, is probably not the kind of rest you’re talking about. Looking down reminds me of how high we are, so help me look only to you.
My sweet daughter, follow the lead and you will be led by me. Come, you are Mine and I see your heart. Rest and I will show you the way.
Father, I always feel like theres something that I’m not doing that I should be doing, and if I’ve not done it in a certain time frame, then I’m holding us back and keeping us from being able to walk through the open doors together that will bring us into the next pocket of time.
Caroline, all is well with you -you’re in right standing with me. It’s time to rest now. Rest and you will see more clearly.
Jesus, I just want you to know that I have such a deep longing to sit right next to you so there’s no space between us. So show me if this is the right time to rest like this where I would be so greatly comforted. Show me what’s right so I will only do what’s right..
I will show you my sweet daughter. I love you.
Reflection:
Oh my thoughts… what are they today:) I have this joy in my heart because I’ve taken a step in the right direction!! Yet, the Lord showed me something that I’m wrestling with too, but I love Jesus and I know he loves me too, so it’ll all be okay. In the evening yesterday I felt really inspired and reflected on yesterdays post. I’m really sensing God leading me to actually rest. But I’m a bit confused because I haven’t recorded a two point sermon yet. I’ve put one together (which needs editing), and I’ve tried recording it but it didn’t work, so I was thinking that that task hasn’t been completed. Yet I’m also sensing the Lord leading me to rest. Maybe in resting for a time I’ll be able to think more clearly and know God’s voice better. I’ve already taken a nap today and the Lord gave me two dreams. In the first one I was driving my vehicle and my daughter Bella was there with me. I was driving really fast, taking a sharp left turn to go onto a major city highway. It felt like I was coming from St. Mary’s, coming from the mall and turning onto Bishop Grandin. I was behind the wheel but I was slouched and couldn’t sit up to look where I was driving. My head felt really heavy and I could barely see. I was trying to get up to see where I was so I could turn into the right lane but I couldn’t, so I whispered in desperation, “Help me! Help me! Help me!” In my dream I was hoping and wishing my husband would see my plea for help. This is why I’m thinking that I still need to do another recording..
Then in another dream I was watching two beautiful Blue birds pecking in between the boards of a roof, finding bugs to eat. Then I looked and saw two young owls resting on a roof. They were resting in something that reminds me of the shape of binoculars; it was one unit but separated by a thin wall. So they were surrounded with protection and in front of them where the round glass would be, it was open. So they were both resting, facing forward and were totally content. Then I saw beside this unit a really huge owl, which I’m assuming was their parent, and I watched as it bent sideways and fed the one next to it mouth to mouth. From where I was standing I only saw the bigger owl’s back. I believe the Lord is showing me that as I’m resting, as we’re in a place of rest in our heart, the Lord will come and feed us, and that he is always near, watching over us, protecting us. I hope this brings comfort to you as it does for me.. The Holy Spirit will lead me into coming into the right lane, and he will always bring to memory what we need to remember and lead us in the way we should go. Many blessings to you…
