Day 6 2019 This place is not my Home

Day 6

  

Nunc coepi " Latin for

"I begin once more with your help, O Lord."

 As I was preparing for my new day and planing the events of this day I realized nothing that happens around me is permanent . If I get stuck in the mud some where  (By That I mean Getting in an argument or a situation I don't like )I must, remember my shepherd will be there to help when I call, but I must remember to CALL, many times I just try and get myself out of my mess or just set up camp to stay right there and wallow in it. 

The next thing I thought of as I was ready to begin is to put on my listening ears. Listen for the still small voice of encouragement and direction. Also for what some thru-hikers call trail  fairies or magic but in my case it is the filling of the Holy Spirit. Filling with what, love, joy and peace which will supply me with patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control that is all necessary to please God today. So off I go asking for this filling. 

I will say this much that trying to see each day I live as A journey just passing Has changed the intensity Of how I feel At difficult times with others around me, What times I feel alone Or hurt or worried.  I'm realizing this is not always about me, and also realizing it's only temporary I forget it quickly in the day but just trying to write this Journal Helps me keep coming back To how true  an temporary everything here on earth is.

 Here we are again, evening time and I wonder if I have accomplished the goals the Lord had for me . Today was art class day And I do truly love the creative process , I feel sure that is a gift from God and I love painting, I love art. As time goes on I begin to see ways that I can use my Ark  to tell his story . The rest of the day I don't think I got off track to much But at the end of the day I must remember this place I find myself in Is not a place to stay forever If nothing else This peaceful feeling I'm blessed with right now can never last at least not on this earth. I am very grateful to get my house back into some kind Of order, I'm not a person who wants a showplace to live in but to have things organized and rather clean is my happy place. So this evening as I go to God's word I hope to Understand that this is a very temporary place And I will be more than willing to wake up tomorrow and move on to the next event that God wants me to experience.
