... O NO! This is not happening, I will NOT tolerate entering into a day stressed. period. I thought on "This is the day that The Lord has made, I WILL REJOICE and be glad in it" and looking for a solution told Jesus that He HAD to bring peace, because I didn't know what to do.
His inviting words echoed through my being, "I am Peace..." and with the words this idea was made known to my heart that because He is peace, He breathes peace out. It was an invitation to enter in at a deeper level. To breathe deep into my lungs the peace that He exhales.
So desiring to accept His invitation, I asked Him to make space in my day for it as it was packed minute by minute and as it was I had to run to get to work...
3:00 rolls around and I'd accomplished a myriad of things, I came home to quick change before jetting out on the next part of my day. Riiiiiiing.... (more like techno dance music than a ring, but you get the picture) my friend is running late :) SCORE! At this point I'm so exhausted and I can't believe that I still have another 8-10 hours of my day left... so I attempt to take a nap, but after a few moments of an endless stream of thoughts I ask Jesus to calm my racing mind. Again I hear, " I am Peace"
I quickly pop out of bed, grab my notebook, and as I close my eyes, I'm immediately whisked away to the side of a mountain. A beautiful place where He has communicated some of the most impacting things into my heart. Today a huge eagle picks me up with it's talons and we're flying over the mountain peak. He playfully throws me onto His back, into the air, and catches me. This continues for a while as we hover over the snow capped mountain top. It's so... freeing.
All of the pressures of the day, and the days to come are gone.
Not in a way where one ignores them, but compared to this... they are so small.
Even youths shall faint and be weary, and [selected] young men shall feebly stumble and fall exhausted;But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.
I ask The Lord what it's about. Panning MILES away, He shows me where the ground slightly increases in elevation, and then the top of the peak again. "I am before the mountain begins to slope, above the highest peak, and everywhere in between."
He is here. In the midst of anything you may be facing He is here.Change scene.
I'm in a banquet hall. To my left is a dance floor. To the right of me, a very big banquet table. Beautifully set with goblets and lots of fruit. There was a lot going on at the table. people enjoying themselves and eating. I look down and I am wearing an elegant shimmery gown, dressed for such an occasion. But I take a step back...
As I do, Daddy (God the Father) sticks his arm through mine. He's with me. Because He's there, I know I'll be okay, we walk toward the dance floor andRiiiiiiing.....
Time to go. This time refreshed, and full of His Peace.
