Okay, my daily commitment to writing about the journey got
lost in the week. I did continue on
with the process though and do feel it has merit. It truly helps me take thoughts captive and
focus. I love multi-tasking…perhaps to
the point of having trained my brain for distraction. This has been a useful counter. Let’s see if I can capture some of the week
in a way that may be of use:
Thanksgiving, Praise & Worship
Thankful to be a child of the Key with continual access. Laid my ‘need’ for an agenda at the
altar. Thanks for acceptance and laid
down fear of rejection & condemnation.
Thanks for His creativity and variety—and quality of work (even me). Laid down people pleasing. Thanks for His
friendship and laid my planning desires at His feet. Thankful for the spirit
(His and mine!) capacity, again laid down the spirit of rejection—not so much
fear but awareness of allowing it to influence how I act!
Praise—Ladder to heaven. Call to come.
Companionship of my friend. Sat by His side and watched the activity of
heaven J. Wept at His feet.
Worship—Activity & accomplishments of God. His love.
His generosity and goodness of gifts.
Confidence in His Wisdom, Power and Desire to Do Good. Mercy.
.
Gathering Thoughts My
gathering is typically a ‘to do’ list or concern for struggles of
others…nothing of great insight here.
Day 15 was a general sense of unworthiness, ineptness & complexity
of life.
Focused Reflection I am just a piece of the plan. I don’t have to do it all nor do I have it
all. Breaking off unhealthy branches
that tell me to do more than God tells me…unhealthy branches that judge me for
failing to do things. Criticism and
condemnation often mask as good Christian words: accountability & discernment. Each must stand before judge—and I am not
he. Rejection is a wall builder that
lies about being a protection. It says
it is safer to distance yourself from people than have them distance themselves
from you. Christ is the right refuge.
Journal Nothing
insightful here either…just little pics of what I’ve written..
Revisit/redesign Thoughts Live wholly from the Spirit. God alone has the answers to each problem; He
will give me what He wants me to share.
Stay on task. Alive in the moment
for in Him I live and move and have my being!
He is my shelter, my mighty wall.
Active Reach – Little feet; “B”, small jug to remind me to be
filled but remember God is filling other jugs too J ‘belt’ ring:
I am not accepted by King; I am held by Him.
Around day 12, Leaf explained that the contrast between
negative and healthy thoughts begins to become clearer. Awareness is easier.
