Time Out

SITTING....

Taking "time out". It happens in our lives, doesn't it? We don't personally put these times in our lives. We don't go to God and say, "Please, give me a trial that will seem to put me flat on my back."... we are not wired that way...
How do we approach God when the "time out" comes?...He can handle what we are thinking and what we are feeling...He knows before we do!!...
Maybe our prayer could be, "teach me to be real, God"... not what I think you want me to be, but what You want to be through me!..You planned me..You were there when I was conceived...and as I came into this world...and as I roam here on my journey...and as I leave this planet and arrive in your Heaven...your perfect Haven of Safety.

Last week my son brought a few boys from the home that he works in..They have many needs..and have learned to be very manipulative in this life.. now they are basically retrained while they are in the "home" and when they reach the plateau of behavior and thought processes that are acceptable, they move up the ladder of independence and accountability.
At this point though, my son has to keep his eye on them every minute they are here..They are polite and thankful to be in a "normal" home...the way they think, in the scale of growth, is alot younger than their years would tell you they are.

These guys had no Mom to visit them for whatever hard reason. So, Kev had mercy on them and brought them for a visit..They love our cabin and are so amazed that my "Mr. Flick" built it himself...it is pretty amazing I agree!...but they feel safe here...

If God has you in a sitting time with Him, accept it and believe He will give You strength to see the purpose later and may you find the quiet,kind spirit you need right now; to endure maybe the long moments at this point.

One of my sweetest friends wrote and shared her daughter is on bed rest during her pregnancy and is in her home so my friend can watch her 3 yr old Grandchild....her daughter is having a "time out" with God...
My friend is not sitting while she cares for, I would imagine, an active little girl!....

I bring her needs to The Well....we can meet here with the needs of our hearts...everyone needs His "water" of life....no one is left out with this need that only He can meet and satisfy....

If you are sitting with God, I would love to give you a cushion for your back or a cup of cool water while you wait...God Bless You!! Kari
