Chorus from Heaven

I had a funny dream the other night.  I dreamed I was walking with a man on a city street.  Although it was in the city, we seemed to be the only ones on the street.  As we were walking I looked up at him and was surprised at his height.  I just remember thinking in my mind "Wow! You're tall... too tall! You are so different than from me."  He seemed to be around 6 '4' or 6 '5' in height, which is quite the difference from my 5 ft petite frame.  All of a sudden I heard this beautiful voice from heaven singing 2 lines, whether this was the Lord or one of His angels I do not know. 

The chorus went like this...

"I wanna go deeper and deeper and deeper cause opposites attract. 
I wanna go deeper and deeper and deeper and fall more in love with You."

Then I woke up.

I have been thinking about this encounter and I can't get this tune out of my mind.  I just keep singing it over and over and over.  I'm not sure this dream is directly pointing me to my future spouse but I am adiment about the idea that just as this man's stature was the opposite of mine, that the Lord's stature of who He is- is as also.  I mean yes, I am made to be or try to follow in the image of Christ but as much as I try to suceed I never quite make it. Simply said... I am broken.  I fall too many times.  I am the opposite of Him.  He is strong and tall and perfect.  I am weak and little and imperfect.  He is perfect inside and out.  I am not.  He is so independent and I am so needy and dependent on Him.  He is Love.  I am not.  It is fair enough to say that we are opposites.  What's great about all this?  Well although we are opposites, He is attracted to me.

Although I am dark, He thinks I am lovely.
Although I am imperfect, He still chooses to woo me.
Although I am weak, He gives me His strength.
Although I am none like Him, He wants me. 

He is after my heart. His desire is for me and mine for Him.  Yes, it is true.  We are none alike but as the saying goes, even in Heaven... Hahaha... "Opposites attract."

The Way to Love

I just wanna love You
more and more and more
Every day of my life

I don't wanna take another unexpected detour
I don't wanna slide off and onto another beaten path

So many questions in life we seem to ask...
Should I stay or should I go
Should I do this or should I do that
Should I go here or should I go there

I just wanna love You
more and more and more
Every day of my life
With every beat of my heart
With every breath that I take
I was made to love You

All so many times I'm easily distracted
Distracted by meaningless things that take home in my heart
Meaningless things that can be consuming but end in a whirlwind of nothing

Show me The Way in my weakness
Show me The Way in Your Strength

I just wanna love You
more and more and more
Every day of my life
With every beat of my heart
With every breath that I take
I was made to love You

This road seems so winding
At times so narrow but never too wide
All too many people are called
But only  few are chosen

For You spoke...
"Wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction
and narrow is the gate and difficult is the way that leads to life."

Lord Jesus help me stay on the right Way
The only Way I belong on is the road that ends in You
Help me find The Way to Love
Help me find The Way to You

Matthew 7:13-14, John 14

As I was driving to work, I began to sing a prayer.  This is what prayer came from my heart.

something new today

Easily stuck in routine. Easily bored with usual ways.
Easily routinely bored and this even becomes another routine that seems the same.
Why not try something new today?

Isn't it funny how normal ways and even your so called "normal day" becomes a vicious cycle? So many things can seem the same down to the 'T'... unless you take a different letter for change.  Here are a few usual ways:

1. The time your alarm goes off in the morning and even the amount of times that are programmed in to allow you to hit the snooze button. Why not get up a few minutes earlier or later, depending on your wake and take?
2. The side of the refrigerator that you keep the milk... and even the kind of milk (skim, 1%, 2%, D).  I still say that I prefer 2% over anything but what does 1% less or more change anyway? Don't even get me started on the consistency of skim! Also, why not go to the right of your roomies carton instead of placing it to left? Why only drink 1 glass?  I say go for seconds.
3. The route you take to work and your normal parking spot. How about going the other way around the block and parking a few slots further for more heart exercise or depending on the severity of the winter bliss, a few spaces closer to avoid your nostrils becoming  frozen together? Sound familiar?
4. The seat you decide to take in the prayer room. Take a risk and sit by someone new since you already know that you'll be in the all to infamous "prayer room play stage" ... plus you never did talk to the old neighbor in the first place. This does not include moving locations due to an individual who is oblivious to any of their seat neighbors while all the time continuously screaming unto the Lord at 29.86434 million sound decimals..Take a risk and move on your own behalf and not just by being forced out by inconsistant sound waves.
5. The way you create your lunch sandwiches. Why not go for the pepper-jack instead of the colby?Might as well add some spice to your life. If that's not hot enough go for the jalapeños! If your feeling a little risky, why not scrape off the lunch sides from the plate and load it all together in one big massive heap of a sandwich? That's what I call a meanwich!
6.  *The purchase of the famous 'mocha madness protein shake' after a really strenuous workout. How about going for the fruit instead of the chocolate? A little fruit never heart. If you want to step it up a notch and still keep the chocolate, how about adding espresso? Ummm... yummy and it's still out of the ordinary and healthy! :-D
7. The route taken home in the evening after a long day. How about trying to find a new way home each time your coming from a different location? It wouldn't hurt to learn the roads more if your not originally a local and if you get lost then you can use the awesome "God's Prophetic tracking System" (GPS). I do say this is one of the best gifts I have received (except for Eternity of course).

All this to say, that I did something new today. I woke up at a random time and it was not on a 5. I put my milk in a random spot and I parked in a 1 hour spot. Thank God I didn't get towed. I added a little spice to my sandwich and made it hot. As I was ordering my shake this evening I decided that I needed a change, I was bored with my everyday same. So I went for the strawberries and bananas. Although it was not as great as the Chocolate I must say, my soul was happy with the new partake. As I drove home tonight, I thought okay this has to be allright but I'm still bored with the same old-same old drive. I wish I could say that I took another way, but I've already tried every other route. Still all this to say, that I did something new today. What will tomorrow bring?
