WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN THE AMAZING THING IS ISOLATION

The most amazing thing has happened to me in the years since I began hearing God’s voice. It’s been a long, slow process that I didn’t even realize was happening … until it did.

I’ve discovered that I don’t need to hear from anyone else.

I know that sounds mean, or sarcastic, or rebellious, or arrogant. But it is none of those things at all. Rather it is absolutely saturated with Peace.

So, I was thinking I have a problem . . . until today when I realized that my relaxation is simply my time with God.

Some people think that is difficult and are surprised. They ask, “How do you do it?” And I say, “Do what?”  Then they ask, “How do you know so much about God?” And I stare back because I don’t understand why they think it’s so hard. Continue reading COME ON IN! THE WATER’S FINE!

A WORD from September 24th, 2013

And He said,

“I’ve seen your thoughts each day, wondering about your purpose and thinking your realm of responsibility is insignificant.  It’s larger than you know, and that realm is your kingdom.  I gave it to you.  But you didn’t grasp your daily responsibilities of Administering from your heavenly seat, your throne.
