Confession

I have to confess something to my blog followers. I stopped blogging for awhile to gather myself a bit. I was in this in-between state of understanding. And while I previously have made entries in this in-between state, I backed off from doing it this time, as I had come under some scruteny from readers about my statements and decisions in life. Then, as if that wasn't chicken enough already, I created an entirely different blog, which I have now had 5 posts on, apart from your audience. Today, however, I realized that I have nothing to hide. And, I actually love a good debate, so please keep commenting. What I am going to do is this: I will transfer the posts from my other blog to this site, and begin again in this moment.

Surprise

Well, the Lord has been moving like crazy in our lives. He really has been for the past year, which is right in line with the "quickening" prophecy that came to us via Graham Cooke. The Lord has been showing us a lot about who we are according to his kingdom, which is radically different than who we are according to the world. As he has revealed these things to us, he has given us specific tasks to complete and challenges to overcome. All to bring us closer to who He wants us to be. One specific line in the prophecy is:

When you know who you are, then you know how you are supposed to live.

This being said, He has revealed who we are and what our role in the kingdom is. A good overview of this comes in Luke 10. Luke 10 is the verse we just received via prophecy this past weekend. Here is a piece of that verse:

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road..."

It was really a good overview of everything the Lord has been telling us. The prophecy also stressed moving immediately. Unsure of where that might be, we went home in anticipation of the Lord showing up and revealing His plan to us. This was Sunday. On Wednesday, the plan started to unfold. By Thursday morning, it was in motion. 

What's the plan? Well, as far as we can see, we will be moving up to Vacaville, Ca, and immersing ourselves in the kingdom culture there via the Mission fellowship. All the doors have been swung wide open for this. My husband's company even had an opening in Sacramento and were happy to give it to him. I'm not sure what the Father's plan is, and whenever I try to figure it out, I get stressed and overwhelmed. So all I can say is, I trust him. I do not know the full extent of His plan. But I know it's Him, so I know it's good.   

As of right now, our time frame is about 2 months before we leave, but we are open to whatever the Lord has planned. He is good and His timing is perfect. As always, updates will follow. 

Until then,

Tara

Time

Time is a resource that is highly misunderstood. It flies by or drags on. It makes us feel rushed or anxious. It ages us. Yet, non of it is truly real but the present moment. That is the only time we can live in. The only time that we can make a difference in. We can’t change the past and we can only hope to shape the future by what we do in the present, but anything could happen in the moment to shape all else. It can only happen in the present moment though. Since the only place that is real is the present moment, that is where God dwells. Take a moment, right now, and use your senses to see the moment. What is around you? What do you smell? What do you hear? What do you feel? Where is God? See if it hits you deeper than any hope or memory ever will.  

This moment

I love the smell of roses. I have two at my desk right now that I am holding up to my nose every few seconds, determined to pull all the scent out of them and lock it into my memory. It is a pleasantly mild day, overcast but not too cold. There are birds chirping outside my window. I like when they do that. The house is peaceful and quiet right now. My heart is full of the love of the Lord.
