I was just reading about Nehemiah "breaking ranks"to go from the safety of his confines to set out into the unknown of the wilds.
He went from serving wine to a king to serving hope to the disheartened.
He was even bold enough to ask for paid leave AND supplies...he knew of his boldness.... as he himself said... he was trembling, yet he received what he needed to accomplish his task. Before any of this however he wept and he fasted calling upon the Lord to give him wisdom and courage when approaching the king.
At each and every step of his journey he called upon God for help. He began and ended his mission with a prayer and prayed all the way through...
Clarifying my "Mission Statement" has been a challenge and a painstaking process for me...I was asked if I would be willing to write it down on expensive parchment and hand it to God...by a wise old Sage...we will revisit this~
I was also asked if I could work carrying a "weapon"...my reply to this was, I already do. Spiritual Warfare is not for the faint of heart even if you are on the Team of the Almighty...
In closing I am reminded that in Proverbs it warns "If you intend to serve the Lord and follow a high calling, prepare yourself for an ordeal."
My ordeal is my divine path and the Lord shall walk alongside me, I am unafraid as this my path was chosen by him...my soul knows every pebble or grain of sand that we will encounter.
In the silence with a quiet light and simply a stirring of my bunnies slumber I am right with the Lord and will rest for now. There is a Mother Cheetah {Duma}that visits me now in my sleep, she knows I am coming before long and working on making me comfortable at her sight, her smell and even her strong steady gaze...
In Peace, Love & Light always...Mimi-Nakupenda!
Malaika~
