spiritual molasses
There is a snap of me on the trip home. I fell into some deep meditation and thankfully samuel got it for your enjoyment.
I’ve been in springfield almost a week. It’s good to be back with the family and hectic as ever! Getting back into the prayer room is a bit bumpy– I’ve been able to have so much alone/quiet days that I’m finding it all a bit distracting. I am also looking at the future still, I believe there is a possibility in Kansas City that I need to continue pursuing— it’s hard because I really want to pursue music with my homies here but I think there is room for both music and what God is calling me to walk in personally. More info on that as it comes a long.
Over all I am really excited about life. God only does good + marvelous things, even when there is pain involved!
I had a dream that my eyes where unable to open and I felt like I was in molasses! I read Psalm 69 this morning and found it described how I felt after my sleep:
Save me, O God!
For the waters have come up to my neck.
2 I sink in deep mire,
Where there is no standing;
I have come into deep waters,
Where the floods overflow me.
3 I am weary with my crying;
My throat is dry;
My eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4 Those who hate me without a cause
Are more than the hairs of my head;
They are mighty who would destroy me,
Being my enemies wrongfully;
Though I have stolen nothing,
I still must restore it.
AND
Let their table become a snare before them,
And their well-being a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see;
And make their loins shake continually.
Not that I am crying till my throat hurts but it’s a spiritual battle we’re all faced with. the storm fights against our ability to see him and brings discouragement unless we keep our eyes upon him.
I will praise the name of God with a song,
And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.
31 This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bull,
Which has horns and hooves.
32 The humble shall see this and be glad;
And you who seek God, your hearts shall live.
33 For the LORD hears the poor,
And does not despise His prisoners.
thanks jesus
So good to see/hear you. God does!!! Love you- keep on writing/meditating.
Hi Michael – Just a word of encouragement – you have such a dear heart, seeking after the Lord. You are in our prayers, just as we pray for all our ‘grands’ . It seems it was just yesterday you and Tyler were running around in the woods, doing “manly” boy things like fighting the “enemy” (what or whomever that was at the time). Now you are being catapulted towards adulthood -seeking out the ‘real’ things that the Lord has planned for you to do with your life. It’s no longer all fun and games (duh) but deadly serious. Wanted you to know that we are praying for you – (so terribly sorry your camera was ripped off – I hope you end up with one even better!)
