I Go Walking In My Sleep
(Sung by Billy Joel)

Psalm 118:18 Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.
vs. 26-27 I recounted my ways and you answered me; teach me your decrees. Let me understand the teaching of your precepts; then I will meditate on your wonders.

It’s 3:30 a.m. God has awakened me. In the dark, I reach for my robe and slippers. I sleepily saunter across the hall to my “War Room”; have you seen the movie?

It’s painted lavender, with mint green and a touch of blue accents.

Anyone that knows me well, understands that the color purple defines me. Read my book someday, and you’ll, “Get it.”

I go to my desk that my father built in 1963. It was the “Throne” in his office.

Nightly from 8th Grade through high school, I sat in its presence. It surrounded me and grounded me with peace and wisdom, as I was educated.

To me, my desk is symbolic of what God intended me to become….an author. Oh! I will be published someday! My God doesn’t lie.

Upon my plane of solid oak, the following items speak of my life:

• My Bibles, notebooks, purple, green, and blue pens.
• *Candles and a box of tissues
• A desk adornment that reads “Mrs. Cutler..M.Ed.” stares at me. It once decorated my desk at Monroe Elementary.
• A Purple lamp on the left corner.
• To the right stands a tree that lights up; symbolic of my “Tree Thing.”
• The left wall is smothered with post-it notes for prayer requests.
• Outside my window, Old Glory waves proudly.

This is my special place where God and I communicate.

Jeremiah 33:3 Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

My Mighty God; who prophesied over me that, He would never leave me nor forsake me, and that I would never shame Him. He never ceases to amaze me.

Twelve years of nuns and Catholic guilt did a number on me. However, my God educated me about Grace and Freedom from the law.

He asked me to do His bidding. Who me; the former train wreck? Yep…He sent His powerful engine of The Holy Spirit to provide the steam to guide my path, and recreate the person he wanted me to be.

Do you ever feel Him tugging on your heart strings to,”Reach out and touch someone?”(That was an old 60’s jingle for bell telephone.)

• If you have been through trauma in your lifetime..
• If you have gained wisdom and word of knowledge through this experience to help others heal…
• Then God has anointed you to step up and aid that person.

Right now, the world is in turmoil. America is a Trainwreck! With all of the political heresy going on, Conservative Christians cry out, “Lord, save our nation! Where are you? Come quickly Lord, Jesus!”

Even though we are not seeing His handiwork immediately, never doubt that God is eagerly working behind the scene. Prophetically, things are lining up for the return of Christ, for His Bride…the Church.

During this Christmas Season, praise God for sending His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to begin His plan for our redemption. In your heart and spirit, remember the following:

• God is still on the Throne, and He is in control.
• His Word, and presence within you can give you peace beyond understanding.
• “God’s Got This!”…a profound statement from my Sister in Christ Sandy Sanders.
• Love one another like never before.
• Allow your thoughts, words, and actions to be guided by The Holy Spirit.
• Have a blessed Holiday with family and friends.

HEAVENLY FATHER: I praise you for sending your Son, Jesus Christ,to save us from our sins. May the babe born in the manger…THE LION OF JUDAH…ROAR…throughout America this year.
