DO YOU REST? REALLY REST?

Father God said:

Good afternoon, my love, I appreciate your resting and adjusting to the slowdown of your journey.  I need you rested and clear and clean for what is to come.  I am orchestrating things in the background and you will need to be flexible and adaptable for what is ahead.  There are some things I need you to do. 

 The electric went off again!  No air-conditioning!  I went out to the electric box and the switch had disengaged.  I flipped it up again and it came on, Praise you Father.

I talked to LaVonne and we got caught up.

I made some other calls and was trying to work and Father said:

Why is it so hard for you to rest?  Forgive me Father, I am going to take another nap.

I took another nap and woke up and went to the pool.  It was wonderful after 6PM it is fully shaded and not so hot, even the water didn’t seem as warm as it was the last time even though it was 104 degrees today.  After I was in for a while a couple came that have been full-time RVing for 2 years. She was a people collector of odd people, she called them wierd, and she thought I qualified.  She had a lot of scriptures from Matthew and Revelations tattooed on her back, she said she loved stories and was definitely going to go to my blog.

I came back from the pool and live streamed the FTHCM General Meeting Opening Service.  Bishop’s message was on “Our time” which was on time!  He said we survived the pandemic and a lot more and it is our time to shine for Father God!

I got 9 hours of sleep and woke up just in time to get ready for the prayer call at 8:30AM my time.  It was again amazing.  Shay and Sandi and I, we were all on one accord, pretty much in a “resting” place to get clean and clear for what is next. Sandi reminded me that on the adventure of the 8 day Saga in North Carolina, I planned to go to MD for memorial service that I never got to.  He had other plans.  Father told me to rest now.  Resting is not easy for me, especially on a Father God journey, well let me be honest, resting is uncomfortable for me.  I always felt that if I wasn’t working, I was being slack, not diligent, slothful, etc… Then I realized that Father God was our example when he created the world for us, the 6^th day He rested.  He was the example and then He commanded us (one of the 10 commandments) to REST once a week.  Do we do that?  I am beginning to see and I don’t fully know, but if God said it, and commanded it, I will do it.  I will stop blogging for a day.  This is hard.  Thank you Father for arresting me from me! I am resting today!

Later:

I turned my phone and computer off and SLEPT ALL DAY! What?!  I was up for 1 hour and a half and ate breakfast/lunch/dinner and then went back to bed.  I woke up at 6:30pm and went to the pool.  I got back at 8:45PM, it was wonderful!

There were two Mom’s with 6 Children.  Jenny and Amanda were friends and knew Jesus.  I gave them my card with my blog, they said they would send me their Info.  They are from 15 miles away, one of them has an annual site and leaves their RV here and they come when they can.  The Children were well mannered and obviously raised well, they were there when I came and there when I left, the Children will sleep well tonight!

Observation:  When you sleep all day with the phone off and the computer off, there are no life events, issues, or problems to deal with, it was my Sabbath, commanded by Father God, I see why, REST IS WONDERFUL, try it sometimes.  Life goes on…and when you can trust Father God, at least one day a week to do things without you, it is the beginning of trusting Him with everything.  He really can do it without us. Thank you Father for trusting us with trusting you.
