Lilli Has A Fat Lip & I Have Cancer!!

THREE AM HEAVENLYS

I love my early early mornings which usually begin around 3 AM when I take my pain meds.  Although I keep my medicine on my bedside table and feel as though I've barely moved in taking them, it's enough to wake my little snuggly-mate, Miss Primrose.  I give her credit she initially tries to re-situate herself and sometimes it works but usually we are outside walking by 4 AM.

During our early outings I am so completely peaceful with the world. I'm not tired, I'm not anxious I'm not anything. I feel like God and I are there in that moment and He is giving me my daily gift - right there in that moment with Him in the complete silence and darkness he hands it to me.

Cancer a GIFT?  Now, you know I'm crazy!  It's not the Cancer that's the gift but it's all that has fallen to the sides because of the cancer!  Just ripped away. It's all gone!

Nothing is so important as living for good.  I stand there and I am thankful for this gift.  It's as if He and I are in agreement like i've never been before.  It's as if I knew it was coming all along and I am so prepared for this.  I'm so prepared to let it all fall...it is nothing.  Nothing. I really feel as though I'm on a different plane now - I'm walking in the heavenlys on earth.  It's the most amazing feeling and while I know there will be lots of difficulties during this journey I am ok with it.  I am committed to being grace filled and to encourage others to see if we can all just live with a little more of  'heaven on earth'.

I dare say we've all had these wakup calls through the years.  Those magical moments that force us all to pause and try to readjust how we walk through life vowing to slow down and take advantage of all the beauty.  Not letting life race by.  But alas we seem to not be able to hold the place for too long.

And true to form, even in my super great heavenly place a little hell breaks loose!  Sunday evening Rich was having an allergic reaction to something and we double dosed him with benedryl.  He was out like a light.  Lilli appeared around 7pm throwing up.  She was up all night and on several occasions she did not make her destination!  Needless to say it was a long icky night.  Around 5 AM Prim can wait no longer and we start out for walk.  Lilli came back down just then and i told her to go to the bathroom in my bedroom and I'd meet her there.  I'm thinking she's fine.  Imagaine my shock when I return inside just a few minutes later to Rich being totally disoriented and scared and Lilli with a split lip!!!  Poor girlie, seems she fainted when she got to our bathroom door.  I felt so bad for her.  Prim didn't seem to notice!


PS GUESS WHO WAS UP ALL NIGHT LAST NIGHT...yours truly.  My 4 am walk wasn't quite as pleasant, but i'm feeling much better today and happy to report I'm having my hair done today. Yeah!

Be blessed!

Thank Me for the conditions that are requiring you to be still.Do not spoil these quiet hours by wishing them away, waiting impatiently to be active again. Some of the greatest works in My kingdom have been done from sick beds and prison cells. Instead of resenting the limitations of a weakened body, search for My way in the midst of these very circumstances. Limitations can be liberating when your strongest desire is living close to Me.

Quietness and trust enhance your awareness of My Presence with you. Do not despise these simple ways of serving Me. Although you feel cut off from the activity of the world, your quiet trust makes a powerful statement in spiritual realms. My Strength and Power show themselves most effective in weakness.

“Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.”

—Zechariah 2:13

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.”

—Isaiah 30:15

But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!

—2 Corinthians 12:9 amp
