High-jacked!
Got on the plane yesterday morning at 7 A.M. with a large coffee in hand and candy bars in my purse. I was ready for the morning movie. Fortunately, I also had my Bible and journal.
Being of late a Martha-type, keep busy person, I got right down to the "business" of doing my daily Bible reading and praying routine. I didn't even pull out my journal, figuring to get in my psalms reading, a couple chapters covered, and the prayer for all the kids, parents, blah, blah, blah.....
I started before the plane took off. I wanted to get that done so I could then relax and enjoy the flight. I only stopped for the thrill of the lift off, which is something I can't seem to get over, and the occasional peering out the window at the landscape below and the glory of the clouds billowing and covering the sky in a vast, living carpet.
The Highjacking was something I wasn't even aware of until today, after I saw the most tasteful framing of a saying by Ralph Waldo Emerson in the Amish goods. It says,
"Let us be silent that we might hear the whisper of God."
Scrolled on a light olive colored background with a strong black frame, in between 2 simple Willows, it struck me. "It is so true!" I gushed to the unsuspecting Amish saleslady.(If you know me, you know I can gush :<)) "It happened to me on the plane!!! There was no TV, no radio, no movie, and God was speaking to me so much through the Psalms!!" I was met with a polite stare.
"You can have it in a different colored frame," she responded.
"It was from Psalm 84, mostly," I proffered, hoping the familiarity of it might spark a glimmer of recognition in her.
Her response was to pull out some others that I might like. She did agree it was a good saying.
But it so dwarfs what actually happened! I didn't have a "good saying" time, I had a divine encounter!! A strangly divine encounter, in the midst of 100's of strangers on a crowded flight. I got so excited over what God was speaking to my heart that I had to pull out my journal and scrambled out thoughts as they came(and befoe they left:,) madly for some 7 pages! Three hours later I was so enamored with His love and so excited for what He's shown me, I barely gave it a thought that we'd never had a movie!
I was Highjacked by God!
God is so good! He speaks to us in His word in such personal ways, if we will only , put aside the business of our lives, seek Him, and take the time to listen.
As I stared at the splendor of His skies, the beauty of His landscape, and the vastness of His world, I was able to meditate on the spendor, the beauty and the vastness of the Love that He has planted in His Holy Word!
I'm hoping to post some of what He's shown me, but not tonight.
Tonight was my first day back with the Paul-Wentzellson's- and today I was highjacked by my precious beautiful little dewdrop- baby Selah! (see, I gush)
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God! He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made."
The glory of the universe is but a reflection of the Glory of God!
V 14 "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."

Idyllwild 4th-Camp Maranatha!!! (And my favorite Awana!
And when in L.A. have we had our own family- like celebrities- dancing in the 4th of July parade? (of course, I could've joined the San Fernando Curves group:<) )

Idyllwild 4th of July Parade
It was really a fun parade. Made me realize why people would love to live in a small town. But not too small- as I was impressed with the variety of clubs and activities that were involved. But the biggest draw- coming up, next post!!!!!
