Beth (B) – So much piece (yep, I circled and wrote peace above it) yesterday after my time sorting and listening. Thank you Lord. Pieces Lord?
God (G) – Yes, pieces.
B – Listening Lord. Help me slow down and settle in.
G – I have been setting the pieces in place, the strong foundation. It has taken some digging, some blasting, to get it firmly set in me.
B – Yes Lord.
G – It is good and for your good. It is the part that matters most and takes the most time. It is not “satisfying” from a world view because it is unseen. It seems messy and not much to show for it, but it is the place I know best. It is where I AM, the strong foundation, solid ground, the rock. Then comes the “pretty”, the show, showcasing me, that is where we are. The next stage is rapid and very showy. It looks extravagant. It is massive. There is a lot I have planned for you. Just keep “laid back” with me and watch and see what I am “up to”. It is going to be gorgeous, a showcase of my love for you, like nothing you have imagined.
B – Really, really?
G – Truly, truly.
B – Yes Lord
G – So hang on to me and yes, it is going to be great.
B – Remembering the rollercoaster dream I had. The car I was riding in was doing unnatural, against gravity, movements to join a moving and shifting track. The track was not connected or on a set path, had vast amounts of open (no track) space the car was moving across and the track was appearing and moving to be in the right place for the car to land at just the right time. Against all laws of gravity, the car always landed well. I see myself in the car being kept safe by you Lord. I am sitting still in the rollercoaster, without any means to steer or guide and watching as the car lands safely on the track every time. Yes Lord. More Lord. I want more. To be more open for you to be more in me. Yes Lord. Help me wrestle well, your way, for your purpose. Lord, I pray for your steps today.
