Day 21 - 3 weeks

Recently we had a house guest, okay - a family member, ... alright - my mother in law. She arrived Aug. 3 and was to depart on Oct. 3 but actually left on Oct. 10. That's 9 weeks. My heart's desire was and is to bless her. She is 83 years old and not had an easy life. I was blessed to pray with her to accept Christ 3 years ago after sharing His love for her at the end of her visit with us that particular year.

I'll cut to the chase; I did really well the first 5 weeks of her visit with us this year...but then "evil Lynn" (the red one with horns that sometimes sits on one of my shoulders) started whispering things into my ear/mind/heart. (Actully I am sure some of my self focused abilities helped in this as well.) I began to get annoyed at the smallest things and downright put out by other things. Talk about inner tension as I am involved in the Soul Revolution.

Question 2 on Page 100 then asked: "How am I treating those around me?" It went on to say: "... be aware of your relationships in relation to God's will." Conviction - Holy Spirit conviction. I can choose to examine my motivations, ask God to give me what I lack as I love others, pray for a heart's desire to move beyond what is happening to me and reach out to others. I am still learning - choosing to lean into God. How about you? How is the revolution within your soul going?

Love one another deeply, from the heart. 1 Peter 1:22

Alongside,

Lynn
