Ready to Receive

October 6, 2024

Before I talk about the fact I am finally ready to receive and what that is all about, I want to share a bit about the photos in this post.

Yesterday morning, our family had plans to attend an event at a local city square. We did it. 🤩 The grandkids loved it. It seems like they had a blast.

After we finished at the event, Donovan corralled us to the garage. The night before, he had painted his new truck bed cover. He needed our help placing it back on the truck. Once we got the cover on, we women chitty-chatted, and the kids played while he finished the installation.

family photo — I love the behind-the-scenes photo of us trying to take the photo of these kids. Archer was hangry so he needed Dad in the photo. Mavis needed coaxed to stay put…and us moms were trying to snap as fast as we could. 😂 Vanessa took this photo because Hannah is the one in the bibs beside me. 😍

Rarity

Thought I would make fun of myself a bit before I get started with the meat of this post here.

This is quite shocking…but…I don’t have a lot of words to use in this post.

Gasp! 😮

I know…I am astonished too. Things are calming down behind the scenes around here. Settling is how I would describe it maybe.

Whatever it is…I really like it. Very peaceful. Father told me last night…launch time. Wow…not sure what He means by that exactly…but I am 100% on board with that phrase. Been waiting a LOT of years to hear the words launch time.

Let’s go!!!!!!!!

Moved Again

Hard to believe, I know…but I moved again. Recently moved back in with Hannah. Not sure why. Not sure how long I will be here. Doesn’t feel like I am supposed to stay here long.

I feel the need to say…I am tired of moving around. Ready to have a place where I can put my stuff and settle in. A place to call my home.

Feeling the need to have my own kitchen, get my own groceries, and have fun cooking in the kitchen again. I miss my iron skillets. Actually, I miss all my kitchen utensils. I have cooked for hundreds of people in my life. Love cooking. The kitchen is such a wonderful place to hang out. Feeling the desire to have a kitchen again. 🤷‍♀️

kids in barrels — Kids enjoyed the little barrel train. 😀

woman with toddlers — Archer Aspen and Little Miss Mavis Joy have become the best of friends. Cutest thing ever. Makes me swoon. 🥰

An Old Post

Last night, I was introduced to a new song. It is by King and Country. What are we waiting for?

I thought it was a great question. SO…I asked Father…what ARE we waiting for. This is what He said. We are waiting for you to be ready to receive.

Then He reminded me of an old post I did some time in the last year or two. Tried to find it…can’t remember where it is on this site. 🤦‍♀️

It was about a convo Father and I had. In this convo, He was saying to me…He had extravagant gifts He wanted to lavish upon me…but I needed to be able to receive them.

Somewhere between yesterday afternoon and last night, I got there. This is when He said to me…launch time.

Open Door

I think it goes back to my heart. The door to my heart. I had to be willing to open it up to receive love. Not just Father’s love…but the love of mankind. Love from man.

To not just receive it…but reciprocate it…willingly. Choosing to.

Been pretty protective of my heart over the years…rightly so. Just needed to say that. 😜

BUT…the door is now open to receive and reciprocate…so I guess I am ready to launch. Still not sure what that means exactly…but I think it is good.

All day yesterday, I kept seeing this vision. It was of my heart. It was like something came in…in a flash and lifted that thing up into the stratosphere. Like my heart was launched. Kind of made me think of a catapult. My sons made a giant catapult during their teenage years We launched a bunch of stuff from that thing. Made a potato canon too. Goodness, that thing was loud. 😂 We launched a LOT of rockets as well. Boys and their toys. 🤷‍♀️

Is He going to launch my heart then? What does that even mean? Look like? How does that feel? I have questions. 😜

Pretty excited though. Sounds like a good plan to me.

snap screenshot — Love so much my son wants to include me in his daily life. He is proud of his truck and all the accessories he is adding. 🥰 His snaps are some of my favs.

girl in fire truck — Esme loved the firetruck! Thought Hannah’s photo of her in the truck was great. 👍

Time

Here is the deal. I have zero desire to waste time. Like Joel and Luke say…not like more time is being made. Right?

I think it is high time to get answers to a LOT of questions I have. I would like to get intimate with the truth. All of it. This ole gal is a huge fan of intimacy, so I am thinking it is time.

I am hungry for the truth. To make a covenant with the truth. The door to my heart is open. My ears are attentive. My mind is ready to receive…so I say…let’s do this thing. Let’s not waste any more time.

I want to receive all Father has for me. All the love He has for me.

Going to end with this.

I want my Husband.
I love Him.
I need Him.
I desire Him.
I need to be in an intimate two-way relationship with my Husband.
