Moving Closer to ...something.

My sweet family. Charis (7), Selah (5.5), Raquel (2 wks), Alana (15 months), Raegan (33 months)

And *hallelujah* the face swelling has gone away. Well, you know...except for the fact that I still have 20 pounds to lose. *wry grin*



God is on the move.

When I sat down to see if I could capture my thoughts, I had no intent to write that. But as I went to dump my brain onto "paper", it was whispered to my heart. Making me think of the movie The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

In the movie, when they say "Aslan is on the move", it means that something is getting ready to change. something big is about to happen. there's about to be a shift in the climate/atmosphere (both figuratively and literally).

It's a head's up to position yourself for a new thing.

And that's just what Jet and I have been doing: adjusting our mindsets to a place of expectation, changing some external circumstances, and taking the step of faith in the direction He's leading.

While we have a pretty good idea of what some of that may look like, there's obviously a large hole in what we know. I mean really, what's a good "walk with the Lord" if there's not surprises along the way? *laughing*

The really exciting thing? The last 8 years, the Lord has been speaking very specific things to us (things that did NOT make sense at the time due to our living in the exact opposite of what He was saying!) And all of those things point to this new season that we all feel we're on the brink of entering.

And when I say "all", I do mean even the little girls. Charis has been having dreams...with spiritual meanings that she is explaining to us. "I think God gave me this dream because he's saying..."

We've never really talked about prophetic dreams to them. I think my mouth about fell open when she casually told me her dream (and it's interpretation) at the breakfast table.

So yeah. God is on the move in our family. And I don't think I've been this excited in a long time. :)
