Memory Verse: I hide within the secret dwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Good Morning Abba, Father,

On this beautiful July mornig, our farm is getting a retreat from the heat. A so badly needed rain is being
poured upon us. It awakened me this morning with the thunder and lightening. Now it is a gentle mist hovering over the land.

As I sip my Cup of Fancy (Lavender Iced Tea), I look out over the field across the barn lot. It is amazing how quickly the color of the crops have been enhanced, since the blessed rain fell.

Hidden in the small, dried, yellow plants, are beautifully nourished grains, being readied to burst forth.

Yesterday the soybeans were crying out for nourishment….JUST AS I so often do… The leaves on the
cornstalks were spiked toward the sun in a state of dehydration.

BUT GOD..BUT MY MIGHTY GOD…

As the rains fell, the hidden glories within the plants began to rise up. The field of beans is now a voluptuous dark green, as the full leaves are beginning to form.

The leaves on the cornstalks now curl with nourishment, as they bow their heads to the Creator Of All Things.

I so relate to You, Abba. I have a hiding place within your realm of The Holy Spirit. You protect me and hide me in your “Sonlight.”

Even though I have just painted an amazingly, beautiful scene with my words, my thoughts are rambling this morning. Worries about family issues seem to be eating me alive. Stress in my back is overwhelming me.

My OCD is in overdrive. I can’t get my mind off me, the pain, and the worry, when my mind isn’t proactive.

There is only one way I know how to get back into normalcy. Get on the computer and start blogging.

I get it Lord, it’s been at least two weeks, since I touched the computer. It’s when..I GIVE YOU MY FULL
ATTENTION……that my mind is controlled by the Spirit; even though:
*I have been tutoring 3days a week.
*Grampa and I have been shuffling the twins quite a bit, due to family circumstances.
*I am constantly cooking when they are here, and all three sons are in and out.
*Yes, my family is going through tremendous stress right now. Through you, and only you, we are walking in faith. We have never been so bound in FAITH AS A FAMILY….AS WE ARE NOW! You have whispered to me,”I go before this situation..it is already solved..I GOT THIS….Wait patiently and rest!!

However, I have to continue to find my “Hiding Place in You.” It is only resting in you, Lord, and giving my OCD Brain to you. Yes, I know…You have told me,”It’s your thorn in the flesh like Paul.”

Guide my thoughts this day, Lord. Give me your thoughts. Let me feel you beside me.

Thank You, Father, for blessing me this day.

MY CHILD: All who read this are given gifts that they must exercise, in order to maximize the full potential of those gifts. When you’re not taking time to be with me daily, on the computer (your gift), Satan loves to sneak his ugly tricks into your psyche. You were healed from the darkness and brought into the “Sonlight,”40 years ago. Yes, you slip on occasion; however, I am there to catch you. Also, you need to be on a strict, healthy eating plan. GOT IT? That’s not a suggestion, daughter. MAKE TOMORROW, THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
I love you,
Your ABBA, Father

Psalm 32:7 You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.

Romans 1:6 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.

John 8:12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said,”I AM the Light of The World. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
