Gentle waves at the ocean's surface
Clearing the Mind for Sabbath
Where did I feel resistance?

Once again leading up to my Sabbath felt like a dash to 3pm.  On the positive side, I think of Mondays as a gift to prepare myself to enjoy my Sabbath by freeing my mind of all the to-dos for the week.

Where did I feel delight?

I felt led to pray for specific people by name this week.  I listened for scripture for each person and when one came, I sent them the verse.  Most remarkable is when I knew of a verse for someone and didn’t exactly recall which chapter in Matthew it was and then felt a strong leading to Matthew 11 and there it was.  Wow.  Affirmation.  In reading Acts 9:33-35 I’m so eager to see miracles like what Peter did.

Where did I most experience God’s nearness?

Reading, praying, sitting in the quiet is when I feel nearest to the LORD.  It’s been so good.  I cherish these times.
