Right now, in this moment, I feel blocked up. I get discouraged about this little house, knowing that fixing major problems will be put off for yet another week, another month. I've waitied so long! BUT!...I did wait for forever to get a new kitchen, even though it wasn't done by a skilled worker, it did get 98 percent done. God knows what to do with me when I get into this discouraged frame of mind. He takes me out of MY mind and into His way, His love, His understanding, His comfort, His remodeling, His stretching...Today, I sense that he is taking the blocks out of my mental window, opening me up and making me look ouside this little box that I tend to put myself in. LOOK OUT the WINDOWS Gail. Go out there and BE ME to people who hurt worse than you, who have less than you, whose healing can begin through something I will have you do or say. Go say HELLO to finding the desire I have put in your heart. It is NOT in your little sorry hideaway, your little box, your bricked up window room.

*HUGS* - you go, girl!!
I love this!
"He takes me out of MY mind and into His way." ~oh. i love that!
and Gail, you ARE being Jesus in skin to those around you - His love and warmth just permeate through you. i'm blessed to have you in my life!!
Very well said, I appreciate your openness.
@Neeka1 - Thank you! That message has helped alot! i still need to listen to the other one!
@oldfatgramma - Oh, goody! I hope it helped!
@Hutch5 - Don't make me cry now! oops! Too late.
@Lucy_or_Ethel - Sometimes I'm open as in a raw wound.Those are heavier days and I try to avoid blogging about them!
i love that the SONshine from your open window
beamed through the cracks in my slowly- opening- one...
love ya
I understand your little box, I have one of my own. I try real hard to lean ever so gently on God's shoulder, but instead He decided to carry me. I pray He is carrying you right now?
Hugs sweet friend
Linda
Hugs to you sweet woman! Isn't that just like our Savior? Our healing is giving our His love, looking at His love, and surrendering to His love. I love you!! Jenny
@down_onthefarm - You are on my heart lately, Girly and I want you to know that no matter what I'm going through, I pour my heart out to our Savior and tell him to help with your "stuff". Yes, I said tell. I respectfully tell him. Please. And i totally believe HE'll shine through to you. I think you need a SONbathing time!
@Mymanyblessings - Yes, dear Linda, He has carried me! My Redeemer is faithful and true and has His way, which is not always my way. But I know His love and I feel His carrying, right out of the box.
@ABAHM - Jeeeeeeeeeenny! I needed that hug! Surrendering isn't always easy and then He makes it clear that surrendering is BEST! I LOVE and miss you! I want to come back over there in the worst way, but can't. I'm just having to rely on my memories and the photos. Wow; to think that being with Jesus is better than that!
@Richgem - oh! i do! i do! it has been so very dark. and i am so very tired.
i felt myself being SON bathed today. you could not know how i truly needed to read these words right now. you are so sweet and precious to talk to Him about me. thank you so much.
@down_onthefarm - Ya know the old saying"Help is on the way"? Help is there. IN YOU. Call on Him, Girl. He adores you, cradles your heart, breathes His life through you. <3
Dear friend Gail - you make me think of David in the Psalms. He often started a psalm weary and crying out to God. 'Till the end of the chapter he was praising the Lord. You are doing that - and you end up encouraging those who have sent YOU a message! Sweet Gail! I love the words you received from Him....as you listen to that still small Voice. I am so blessed to read all these believers' thoughts!!
May you go to sleep tonight, encouraged. ~love and prayers
@threejoys - Oh wow, Cordy, this is sweet and just in time to help lift me back up before I "hit the hay"! Today I emotionally took a dip after seeing my new cardiologist. I'd hoped for a definate answer and have to wait. Again. I allowed that to affect my entire day to a degree. I appreciate you reaching out to me!
You wouldn't be human my dear friend if a disappointment like that wouldn't make a difference in your day. I think most of us would have had a "dip" in our day. We just know we can't stay in the dip. I love hearing what the Holy Spirit tells you for encouragement.
I'm sorry you have to wait again.
I know what you mean. I get discouraged about ours, too. There is so much that must be done, and soon.
