Surrender

Jeremiah 29:11,13

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 13) You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”

Reflection:

On November 5th I had a short dream that I was holding out my arms to the side and Jesus my husband was standing right in front of me with both his arms also stretched out, and he had his hands on my biceps. I was wearing long sleeves, and I sensed he said something about that I used to do crossfit. I sensed too that he was inviting me to begin crossfit/cross-training again. The thought of starting cross-training again makes me nervous because I know how hard I’m going to workout again! Though I actually love it; I love the sound of putting down a heavy bar and I love being strong, which I miss very much… My last recording wasn’t like my more recent ones where they looked more like a sermon. Because it looked different than that, not having three points, I’m wondering if I slid back? Does this show that I’m doubting and that I’m not in line where Jesus is trying to lead me? My last recording was difficult; I wasn’t sure how I was going to end and so I ended up deleting much of what I recorded because I came to a verse that fit better with what I was talking about. And by the end of it, it got so dark so I needed to quickly finish.

Changing the subject, on Saturday we did a lot of work outside on the yard; cleaned out the eavestroughs, cut the boards around the tree-trunk in the middle of our deck in the back. Normally we need to cut around it about once a year because of how quickly the tree grows. This morning at church I sensed comforting words from the Lord, and I also sensed the word, “surrender.” In every area of my life I need to surrender; beginning cross training, my recordings with three points, being on stage, work. My sister gave me a book to read by Beni Johnson, “The Power of Communion,” which I’m really looking forward to reading! I still don’t read enough because it seems like I don’t have enough time, but I’m doing to make a point in reading this one! I need to go and visit my mom this week; I haven’t been to see her these last two weeks:(  I baked cinnamon bread again on Saturday, which reminds me about the verse that talks about when the Lord is in the centre of a relationship; a cord of three is not easily broken.. We went to, “The Grove” for lunch this afternoon and my kiddos and I went to Costco afterwards; I always get the kids the Lindt Christmas Advent calendar, and I think I’m going to get one for myself this year! Lucas’ Jazz band played the background music at a fundraiser event at the Heritage Centre here in town yesterday. One of the songs they played, which I love is, “You’ve got a friend in me…” He plays the baritone saxophone. He needed to wear all black and he wore a tie and his fedora -much handsome!!! Anyway, luv you all!! Blessings!!
