Hearing sounds

The journey moves profoundly on and I ponder the sounds I hear.
Sometimes the sounds, of self and family and friends and work colleagues crowd out the sound of heaven. There is a call to higher things, to tune into heaven. Godly, divine and supernatural things. A sound which I'm more and more convinced can be heard if you tune ears to hear.

I ponder the sound of self - a whiny, selfish and inward looking sound which clamours for attention and needs quietening.

I ponder the sound of others - who filter life through their own noise and who often assume you do too! (For your information - I don't. I so don't.) This sort of sound is a cacophany of chaos and while I used to try to go there...... I don't anymore. I'm discovering you can lose friends and reputation by tuning out....but there is a higher sound which calls me on!

I'm drawn more and more to listen beyond the everyday noise, to hear what REALLY matters. The heart beat of heaven, divine priorities of love and love and more love. The noise filter is the love filter and I'm finding it an extraordinary and profound learning. There is pain in the journey, a shift in listening and a shift in tuning which inevitably has consequences to the old ways.
I am finding a deep place of listening and it's drawing me deeper.

Aligning Time

Incredible that I remembered and rediscovered this blog yesterday.
Incredible the timing of heaven which is outside earthly time and is eternal.
Incredible that we can partner with our creator through time and eternity.

WOW God!
What a glorious Father and commander in chief. How we have been decieved to think we are less than we are. Created for HIS glory, made in HIS image to reflect the wonder of HIS love, the very nature of God.

We tear down every 'worm' like thought and we declare the wonder of who we are, blessed and highly favoured, beloved and chosen, hand picked and precious.
GLORIOUS bride.

What a Sabbath!

It's now October 2008. The sabbath rest ended up being a journey of healing as by the end of March I had been diagnosed with bowel cancer!
The doctors called my recovery from surgery 'remarkable'. With half a large bowel removed I was discharged from hospital 3 days later on Maundy Thursday. In time for Good Friday 2007.

What a parallel. Death to self, ambition, ones own plans.
There was a resurrection for me.
I now live-
For more than mediocre
For more than 'normal'
For a living testimony to the goodness and grace and purposes of God.
