The Winds of Change

It seems like in the past years, whenever something was about to happen, there would be a stirring in our hearts. A feeling of restlessness that starts to tug at your heart and make you a bit on edge of what could be right around the corner. But you can't see it. Somewhere up there though it's about to come into view.

I sort of have that feeling now...like the road that I'm on is going to turn and open up into where God is taking us next. I'm kind of uncertain what that could mean and how big that change will be. Well I guess I'm completely uncertain, seeing as to how I don't know what it is:) But I know it's important for me not to be so anxious for the change that I focus on it more than on Jesus. It's hard to take every thought captive though, even when I read of it so often in the Bible. But thoughts are sneaky! They burst in a million directions like little fireworks that never fall down, and then you lose them altogether. Sometimes I can't even finish a sentence or ask a question because my thought up and left town. Right there. In the middle of me saying it. So aggravating. And rather difficult to sort through as well. Sneaky little buggers.

But the winds do feel different right now, and not just because the seasons are changing outside. Maybe the seasons are changing inside too...which catapults you into a new adventure completely. One that I welcome and hope that I won't freak out in;)

Seeing the wind change in a different direction reminds me of Mary Poppins...when all the nannies that are lined up outside the house are blown away without any difficulty. The leaves rustled and the feet of those seemingly potential blessings lifted right off the ground to be sent on their way somewhere else, making room for the real blessing to come down and walk into their lives. I hope that's what is happening now. That the Lord's fulfillment will come, and when it does, that it will blow away all doubts and all anxiety...right into the sky. And making way for the awesome promise that He gave and the calling that He placed on my heart to be more evident.

Good gosh, I just saw one of those little yapper dogs today, just like the one in Mary Poppins. Strangely, that dog looks like the one from the Wizard of Oz. And wouldn't you know, it was riding in the basket on the front of a bike. So those people rode by me on their bikes with their little yapper dog in the basket looking around frantically, most likely searching for Dorothy. And did I sing the theme song for when the wicked witch rode on her bike through the tornado as they did so? Yes I did. It was only right. I hope the wind that's coming isn't THAT kind of wind. Tornadoes that send you to a land of people who talk like they've been inhaling helium all day is not exactly my cup o' tea. I don't mind the short, I'm not much taller than the short. But the helium thing would get old after awhile. Definitely. Well....that is, after I asked them to sing the song from those fabulous Chipmunks cartoons....good stuff:)
