How Loud Is Your Silence?

To best hear God speaking, be quiet.

He has so much to share with you & when you spend quiet time with Him, you will understand You are nothing without Him. Yet you are everything To Him.

"Delight yourself in ME-then I will give you the desires of your heart." (By the way- It is all about Me- Love, God)Live from the Inside Out! I can hear Him saying to His children, 'Oh when will you see that quiet time also means no electronics in your ears. I would that we walk someplace & you would enjoy the creation of conversation with Me. Enjoy the moment I have given you to just sit still without thinking of what you are to be doing next. Just Be with Me. I miss our time together. When you are still, you may just hear your own thoughts. Or better yet--Mine regarding You.' How Loud Is Your Silence? Think about that for a moment....

Sometimes we do everything possible to drown-out even our own inner voice. How sad! Shhhh- did you hear that? Imagine God saying to you...When you are quiet, you will hear Me. Turn off the Noise & be free to really Live from the inside out!

GOod Night

~REST~ Everyone at one point or another has found themselves staring at the ceiling & dealing with counting sheep, blessings, & the tic-toc of the minutes while we lay awake. Seems our brain turns on when we lay our head down upon the pillow anticipating REST. Then we rationalize the 'why' of not being able to SLEEP. Sound familiar? Do you seek Rest or Sleep & do you know the difference?

The elements & events that occurred the day before contribute to your SLEEP. Did you have conflict? Did you do something out of the ordinary? Did you eat or drink something that stimulates the body & mind…before going to bed? Did you 'turn off'the technology stimulation, i.e. computer, phone, or audio?

Stop & look at what the pattern is. Just like you get dressed to go about your day, you need to undress your mind, spirit, & body to settle in for the REST your body craves. Plan for 9 hours in bed & have the first hour of that to be meditation, & light reading. As you allow your body, mind, & spirit to unwind, relax, & settle in, you will fall into slumber…into a night of REST. Set your boundaries. Stop entertaining conversations after a certain time. Let others know there will be no phone calls, texts, or emails. You are closing up the temple & turning off the light. Then do it...for you!

This is a routine, so stick to it. Just like you may stumble to the coffee pot in the morning with little to no variation in routine. You also leave for work at approximately the same time in order to arrive promptly. Life is that way while you are awake & while you prepare to rest. Remember-You have only one body, one mind, one spirit. It was entrusted to you to take care of, enhance, & share. As you close your eyes at night, reflect upon the day, give thanks for everything- even the not so good moments. Praise the Creator God for giving you another opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those He has entrusted you to meet & placed in your care.

The Lord knows all about you. He knows exactly what you need to be at your best. He has laid out the plan for your life long before you were born. Now as you lay upon your bed at night REST assured that He is watching over you. God never slumbers or sleeps. Yet He is the expert on how to rejuvenate the mind, body, & soul. He spent time in the desert to REST. He went away by Himself to REST.

Find the peacefulness that is more than your pillow. Look for that space between realms to reflect upon. Rest peacefully, Live & Be - Well...

can you hEAR Me now?

Let me tell you about a dream I had. In this dream I awakened to discover a question mark tatoo on my ear.

As I looked in the mirror, behind my reflection I saw words that had embedded within them or had the sound of the word ‘ear’. These included Ear-a-tating, Ear-rational, Ear-agate, Ind-ear-ment, Ear-regular, Ear-aresponsible, Ear-atable, Ear-raplacable, Ear-regardless, Ear-reversible, Ear-respective, Ear-reverant, F-ear-ful
Then I realized that the tattoo was attracting attention to my Ear.

When others would engage in conversation they would be looking over my shoulder. They were seeing my question-mark and the words that had caused doubt in my life. So no matter what I 'said' or how conviencing I tried to be... the doubt was staring them in the face. Doubt stood behind every word I had spoken.

At this point I heard a voice…you guessed it, whispering in my ear.

“Can you hear Me? I long to answer your questions in life. This dream is to remind you that I, alone, have the answers you seek. Look, listen and you will learn to discover My guidance in My Word.

And as you take heed of the words I continue to give you, you will see that they are designed to lift you up. The world uses words to discourage and confuse you. Please don’t follow your own understanding. I will enlighten you with the wisdom you are seeking.

When you seek Me, you - will - find - Me. As you hold My Words and hide them in your heart, you will discover that the ‘ear’ that is clearest in hearing me is the one that is in the Center of you H-ear-t."

Can you hEAR Me, My Child...Let's talk. Yubw8n? I've missed sharing time with you!"
Love, GOD.
