Lest We Forget

Deuteronomy 4:9 (NKJV):  "Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life..."

I heard this bible verse at the Women's Conference at Christian Life Center a couple of months ago.  So many things happen to me that I feel like I need to record "lest I forget".  I always think I'll remember them, but time goes by and I don't.  I've heard them called God Spots, or Spiritual Whispers, coincidences, serendipity and many other things, but I see or hear or feel them all the time.

A very significant one happened today.  I woke up before my alarm** and was in between awake and asleep, but alert.  I always go to my obsessive repetitive thoughts, and lately they haven't been productive or great at all and I decided I needed to be still and be quiet.  So I quieted my mind and thoughts and immediately heard:

Trust.

Love.

Relax.

In a voice that wasn't mine, and I just listened.  Then the voice said.

Trust GOD.

Love people.

Relax in life.

WHOA.  I was wide awake then!!  And yes.  I need to do all three of those better.  And then my mind went back to it's normal chatter.  I thought of all the ways I need to do the very thing of trusting God, loving people, and just letting it all go and CHILL.

It's just amazing what happens when we listen.

In other, unrelated news, Travis started going to church with me.  March 30 was his first visit to Jesus Community Church.  It is beyond wonderful having him there with me.

Love & Prayers,
La

**Sometimes God just wakes me up.  It was a day I needed to go to church because I set up for communion (which we do the first Sunday of every month). I had problems with my alarm this week because to save space I deleted all of my songs...including the ones I use for my alarm.  So the alarm would go off, but there was no sound because there was no song.  I changed my alarm for work, but didn't for my Sunday alarm.  And I woke up anyway.  Thank God!
