taylor, listen, youre so talented at rationalization (truly a gift!), but i feel like you mightve failed to realize that leaving a teen girl at the mercy of her bullies and leaving a civilian at the mercy of a huge fuck off water monster are, while both objectively bad, events of slightly differing orders of magnitude

If I may say so, when I hear people like Dallas speak, I feel like I have entered a different realm of the universe, the way GOD evisioned it. As though he has immersed himself so deeply at GOD's feet that he sees nothing else, and I sense the inspiration taking hold of me to aspire for the greatness of GOD's calling.

Lecture: Dr. Dallas Willard, "How is God with us?

I was just freaking out yesterday, as to what GOD was doing/leading me to or through, HE seemed to say "Do this & I will bless you." And as I was walking away thinking "no," but HE kept repeating "Do this, I will bless you.." so before I reached the car, I said OK.

And as I drove to the curb, I saw a young lone deer, but as I stared incredulously at this beautiful creature, crawling past it, making sure to give a wide berth so as to not ruin the moment & scare it away..

It flicks its ears while chewing away at the grass, but suddenly I notice he is one of five, he was in a family in the heart of the DT core & I couldn't help but feel it was a sign of GOD's blessing already. It was so special, but I was astounded to see a young man walking right by it staring at me rather than staring at the deer.

It was strange because I had seen a young couple chasing after a lone deer several blocks away, about two weeks ago, at around the same time of the night trying to film it on their phones.

The other blessing HE gave me was HIS strength to carry out HIS plan, a strange wakefulness despite not having much sleep; being informed I need not be a do-gooder as though this was my idea, it wasn't.. ironically in the process of being lectured by one individual, he contradicted his stance about "not doing GOD's will., and leave it to the organizations equipped to taking care of this issue."

But I found the bureaucratice red-tape makes these organizations ineffective due to their goal of limiting what others can ask of them, in an act of self-preservation over their profit and public perception. Something I contemplated myself, so it's a really big temptation, and stumbling block.

I think in all of it, the lesson is not so much about being perfect in our sad attempts to obey, rather that we not give up knowing JESUS already paid for all the things that would normally entrap us... things such as denying GOD initially. Because of JESUS' sacrifice, the SPIRIT can now encourage us past our hangups, and to help us pray for those who are still deep in the pit of their fears of punishment that blinds them to the free-flowing love of GOD.

We have this old praise & worship CD & in one of the songs the lyrics sung struck me: It went something like how precious it is to be able to drink from the River of GOD's Throne of Grace

It's so powerful, the concept I sadly loss hold of when carrying out GOD's plan I experienced a bad consequence which I hadn't planned on & I was again up in arms against following HIM...which of course was a bad idea. I started making excuses that I do not have perfect discernment and how do I know who said what. It kind of reminds me of the point of discussion about Cain's insufficient burnt offering, that meant he knew GOD was an all consuming fire yet he decided to give a subpar commitment to GOD.

It is like falling in the bottomles pit where there is no end to the distrust you have for GOD, then you have to assume the worst case scenario for all things, if we ever swallow the lie that either GOD doesn't exist or worse HE isn't WHO HE claims to be.

But the thing to remember is HIS ways are not ours, so despite how things unfold, we can praise HIM in knowing how good & faithfulll HE is; aware of all our needs; though not necessarily giving into all our wants, when we want it & how we want it.

Here is a cute visual GOD just sent my way:

I love how amused the owner is by the kitten's attempts to preempt her feeding by jumping up at the bowl in her hands, a honey pot!! ..that is filled with milk!!!!? milk & honey the very thing GOD promised us in the Promised Land. Hey is this what pray without ceasing looks like to GOD, LOL, HE's like saying yes kiddo I've got it in the works for you, be patient, it's here in MY hands to give you, ai-yo!!! lol

I love how GOD shows up speaking to us in our own language
