I was almost done cleaning up the kitchen when I suddenly got this urge to spend time with the Lord. It just seemed too perfect of an opportunity to miss: Jet was off today... working on school work. the older girls were playing. Raegan was napping. and I was basically doing nothing.
And as soon as I moved in the direction to Get Away with the Lord, He spoke:
"Use this time to labor with me in prayer. Let's do the work part of it. Together. Now."
Excitement and anticipation immediately hit my spirit. So for the next two hours, that's exactly what He and I did. We labored together over the pending birth. It was peaceful. radical. awesome.
Maybe one day I'll be able to use mere words to describe all that happened? or maybe not. Either way. Large things happened. Deep things. Things that cannot be described, only experienced.
About an hour into it, as I sat on my bed in prayer and praise, my eyes fell to a scripture where my Bible had been randomly lying open. It read:
"No eye has seen a God besides you, who WORKS for those who wait on him." Isaiah 64:4
It literally took my breath away. For it was like reading something that had been written thousands of years ago...for me. In this moment!
I was pressing into him. He was doing the work for me. It was that easy.
Hours after the fact, Jet even mentioned how there was a Spirit of Peace on me like never before. *sigh of contentment*
And suddenly, the whole Labor Day theme took on a whole new meaning for me.
