In the Beginning

I've just been reading over some of the things written in this blog and kind of saying wow - I wish I was receiving the benefit of "my" own teaching. I read other guys blogs and I really hear the voice of God speak to me through them and hear them as really clear and I'm reading this blog and hearing the same voice. The resistance in my mind seems to dominate and my Friends are reminding me "It's nothing." "Nada." It has no power - no reality and is gone the instant you say so. I'm ready for a miracle. I give in and lose faith and give in to despair very easily. And these are all thoughts I'm willing to let go of now and rest instead. Thankyou Father.

Jesus has been playing Neil Young's Harvest in my ear today. One verse anyway.

Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man.

I don't want to say too much about that - as I begin to attempt to put the message into words at the moment - it's being lost in translation and I lose touch with the essence of what He's trying to communicate through the lyric to me.

He's telling me - it's no big deal. He'll do it for me if I let Him. Step back. It's only a change of plan/purpose and there's nothing to worry about it. Dream Lightly. He's got it handled with the assuredness of the One with strength and certainty of the Father. Be of good cheers.

(I kept pressing cheers instead of cheer and then trying to correct it and pressing cheer again. There was a feeling tone to the cheers - it was inclusive - like a ripple effect of joy that rippled out and flowed to everyone and joined with all.) YES - Be of Good Cheers.
