After reflecting on what the Father had spoken to me. This is an excerpt from my
Journal: June 11, 2015.
"I went to Samuel's Mantle two weeks ago and had a huge expectation for what God had in store for me there. I actually had to protect that evening and declined 4 other invitations to do different things. I just *knew* I had to be at Samuel's Mantle that night and nothing else could take precedence over it.
The word that spoke to me the most that evening was when a woman shared her picture of a kite she saw when she looked at me. The kite can be released to go and go. It is free. It soars. It is powered by the wind. The Father always holds the kite. The Father is the anchor. I am in his hand, I am also soaring. I trust. I have faith. Immediately this sunk into my heart. I've always wanted to fly a kite. It just seems like a delightful experience. I see the pleasure of God all over it. I see his smile. I see the thrill of something so simple- the wind- catching a piece of fabric, the colours waving in the air and the freedom of a child. I love the idea that it is released higher and higher. It seems to have the sureness of always being safe and always being enjoyable.
So "YES" Lord, I want to be this kite that goes higher in obedience and is lifted higher and higher, soaring and being empowered by your Holy Spirit, who guides me and backs me. It's a reminder of the love for the nations You've put inside me that you don't take away. And you show me more of yourself and also unravel me to go. And You take delight in me soaring. You say "YES" to displaying me and I recognize that the spectators will always look for the anchor. They want to KNOW the source and see just where the colours came from. Who holds this banner? And "What" causes it go "Go?" How does it go? What propels it?
What gives it life? YOU do! YOU HOLD my life."
