Spend Time with Me
[Text Version]
I had been working on software for the QW School and really missing my time with the Lord. And He gave me a dream where I was in a school with lots of hallways and rooms but the school was empty so far. I was getting hungry and so I asked an angel in the hallway if there was a place for a quick bite to eat like a kiosk. The angel was at the very other end of the hall and had poked his head around the corner, anticipating my need and question. He shook his head yes, then pantomimed and pointed down the stairs and then to the right. He had a very cheerful countenance and smiled really big.
I went down there and the stairs looked too steep for me and I looked back and said, are you SURE there is food down there? He smiled poked his head again around the corner to help me, and shook his head YES. So I slide down the banister and went to the right. There was a double entrance way completely opened to a nice sit down restaurant. I hesitated because I did not know if I wanted to take the time to sit down and eat!
WOA….. DIVINE SIGNS 10/21/08:
Within 3 weeks of each other, two of my top students missed being in different train wrecks within minutes. Both accidents were because one ran a red stop signal, and the other slowed down due to a faulty signal. In the same time period, I had a vision where words on a page were whizzing by so that I could not see what I was actually viewing. It was all a blur. I felt the Lord was saying to me, “You don’t need to travel so fast!” I also was on some prednisone medication that was speeding up my heart rate and giving me a lot of nervous energy that I was not used to. I could not sleep more than 6 hours due to pain so I was also getting a LOT done on my laptop in a little amount of time.
During all of this, I was in a pain flare and could not push the handle forward on my easy chair to get out. So my husband found an old cardboard tube he had saved out of the garbage of something I had thrown away a long time ago!!!
This tube had held a huge piece of felt where one can build jigsaw puzzles on top of it. The felt came in this very strong, super duper cardboard tube. Wayne brought it in from who knows where and put it over the easy chair handle. I had instant leverage to wrap my arm around it to move my chair handle down to get out. It was awesome! So for a week or so I had been using this amazing gizmo that kept reminding me of old brake handles on trains. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Yes I did catch the Lord’s Word in regards to this: SLOW DOWN, PUT ON THE BRAKES, I want to spend some time with you!
QUICKENED EYE GLANCE, AMAZING CONFIRMATION: After I finished building the home for the new QW School, I was trying out some of the new software to learn what it could do. I was working on some foundation lessons of “Why Does God Speak through Puzzles?” and “How Does God Speak Through Puzzles?” One day I had a quickened eye glance and read the label on the cardboard tube: “PUZZLE MASTER!” This blew me away, I had not even connected the idea that I was working on the first two foundation lessons about puzzles and here was God’s divine sign just WAITING for me to see. He is SO patient with us, waiting in the background, waiting to give us all His wonderful Words if we would just stop and listen.
ANOTHER CONFIRMATION: I opened my book, 101 Ways God Speaks to find the graphic of a puzzle, and came to this page. Here is an excerpt:
“STOP, TAKE TIME, PONDER, LISTEN
Without using our will and deciding to make these four choices, we become like a locomotive with no brakes. We build up steam, stay in one gear, and propel forward without taking time to view the scenery. Each rail zooms by as we become lost in our goal of reading and forget to look where we are going. Instead, we should try riding a children’s train that has no particular destination in mind other than to look and be a part of the fun!
What is the fun? The fun is HEARING HIM! The love, the zeal, the joy in life is RELATIONSHIP with HIM. Finding the fun, is removing the locomotive race in our minds, and reading with the intent of listening to what He has to say. Yet without the decision to stop, and the desire to hear Him, reading the Bible becomes just another pursuit of knowledge. The key to doing anything in life is to do it WITH HIM.”
