This is a year old story that somehow never got published...
Sometimes ... a person can hear the SAME thing OVER and OVER for years and NEVER fully "get it" OR totally understand it - UNTIL he or she really experiences it for themselves. As I began my day, inside our new dwelling, laundry beckons my call, boxes stacked up everywhere needs to be opened and put away, not SURE if I can find clothes to wear to work, I came thru the bedroom and caught a perfect glimpse of a beautiful moon setting ... I felt the LORD drawing me near. I turned off all the lights, sat down on my chest I moved in front of the bedroom window ... I watched the moon "set" in the East. I remember as a little girl - my Daddy would say "the sun rises in the east and sets in the west"... aha - this girl "gets" it. The one thing that stuck out ... as I looked at the moon - there was a perfect CROSS right in the middle of it. Now ... I wasn't in all the smart classes at school - so "scientifically" + I'm not sure what caused that .... but I know enough about the LORD Jesus to know when He is pulling me near to give this over spent body, soul, and mind a "perfect rest" in Him before any other junk has time to rise. As the moon was sliding down on this side of the earth I thought I would let you know the LORD was bringing it over to you now ... Joshua 1:9 resounds in my heart this morning... Be strong and courageous do not fear for I am always with you ... He is with me on this prairie and He is with you among souls that desperately need Him... stay strong.
