reading Watchman Nee. Goodness the man is focused. And oh my, God does know how I am not.... My challenge thus far is to give all I love and hold dear up to my God, my good and mercyful and graceful Father.
It has something to do with a landslide becoming a bear.
Do you know what it's like when someone tells you something and you hear it in full awareness that you should think it completely off the wall, and yet know full well it's spot on, even though you haven't yet had the revelation as to how on earth something so off the wall should actually make sense?
Does that sentence even make sense?
Anyhow, back to the bear!
Last summer I had a vision during Church gathering for a sermon. I drew it. It was a massive landslide, a mudslide which swept away all with it, and it buried and carried away trees and soil and people and all else into its muddy depths. It was not a negative thing as far as I can remember it and it had something to do with our little Church back here.
Anyhow, I showed it to a friend of mine whom I count as wise and able to see things of which maybe not all of us would be aware. He turned it round and said he saw a bear, a standing bear with its paws up for a fight. He turned it back and looked at the landslide and said that was good but that he thought that for me personally it was a bear. Then he expanded a bit saying what he thought about it. It was something to the effect that I should defend my household like a bear.
There was more which I don't recall.
Anyhow, I've held that buried in my heart and mind since, not far below the surface. That verse about Mary pondering the events and words etc of Jesus' birth in her heart... I've handed Guy over to God that many times in that many ways, I 've lost track. My treasure is in Him and I will fight for it.
I'm mulling that over.
Unfinished job so far.

Oh! The organic smoked salmon that arrived this morning made an incredibly yummy breakfast!! And their smoked cheese and butter is lovely too.
