being still

July 4/12  journal bits...

   So Jesus I am going to attempt another day refusing fear... inviting You into everything. 

   As this is my morning of prayer I want to continue it first with just spending some time with You.  I have to say I absolutely love this crazy wet and stormy weather... and that ride yesterday morning with Bailey was so perfect, overcast ,no bugs and perfectly cool.  Thanks.




   I believe if we met right now it would be along the river on our couch. To just sit together and for me to be... patient... awake... recognize the deepest delight of being still in Your presence. 

   The wind plays with the leaves of the trees and stirs the grass across the river. The air is warm and comfortable. I noticed that You repeated "and I lay down my life for my sheep" A LOT of times in that John passage. 
Yes. 
And it is something You chose to do and it is linked with knowing Your Father and Your sheep. 
Yes. I snuggle into the crook of Your arm and am quiet.

Abba... I want to ask You to help us wake up to Knowing You corporately as a unified, in Your Spirit and love, body. I want us to encounter this kind of dependence and decision... to hear and follow and lay down our lives as Your children and do Your will in following Your heart's desires in our loving back of You. To become a people who know what it means to know no fear. That would be crazy wild.
