  • He speaks to me more in the clouds

    No really!

    Started getting anxious right after getting out of Mission Church’s 2nd Saturday Men’s Bible study.

    What am I going to do next?

    No particular plans. First free weekend in a while, between busy weekends coming up.

    Going to see if WinCo has mixed nuts and cereal.

    After that…?!?

    Uh oh. Getting a bit more anxious….

    Let’s… ah hm…. Put my mind in the clouds… And refocus

    After the Panda puff delimma

    I concluded I should be in the clouds more.

    I seem to take more seriously the things I hear and less on things I see.

    I am able to discern better

    Paranoia is a good test of levels of fears

    • Concern other people know you’re not focused with your head in the clouds?
      • Why? Concerned they care/think it’s wrong? Is it actually? Either focus in that place if it isn’t or stop worrying that it is
    • Concerned what others are murmuring bad things?
      • See above
    • Concerned you cannot do your normal functions?
      • Why? Maybe you aren’t as confident in your abilities when you are focused? Maybe you need to be more conscious even when you are in your normal state. Reassess you confident level.
    • Concerned about the safety of reacting to others around you?
      • Why? Maybe need a bit more trust the Lord will not throw you in harms way
    • Concerned?!
      • Why???

    I feel the guiding movements of music deeper

    I think this is my link to better hear the Holy Spirit

    Take my eyes away. They only focus on distractions

    That’s why I relax my lids. That’s all I need to see

    Wide eyes only gather more information on less important things

    ๐Ÿคฏof the 5 senses we have only one transfers movement

    • Vision: majority of things seems will not draw you to movement
    • Taste: tells you what will or not sustain you. No matter the source, you are elated, enslaved, and surrender to it. Flavors are physically placed on receptors
    • Smell: puts you into a mood. Maybe joyful want to dance. The wind must guide scents to your nostrils
    • Touch: merely reminds you of the things that are of this world.
    • Sound: to be able to hear, something bounces the air and when it bounces into your ear, it rattles your ear drum

    I need to find more time I can dedicate to this because it gets me closer to the Lord

  • Overalls for protection

    Tending to my messy garden

    I dressed in my newly purchased linen pants and long sleeve. I didn’t want to get them too dirty since they are new! So I throw on my overall.

    What am I protecting? My worldly clothes?

    What is That protecting? My worldly body?

    One day all of those will be shed

    Well my clothes will be shed later when I shower

    However, my worldly body is merely dressing up my spirit

    That body is going to wither, but in what condition will my spirit be?

    Exercise the spirit for it is far more important than the things of this world
