up early today...

Well, I was up at 4 a.m. after some interesting dreams. I don't typically dream. I usually don't remember most of my dreams if I do dream. I remember these dreams.

Typically, I get "communicated to" through open visions etc. So, when I'm asleep, I'm asleep... and I treasure every bit of peace and quiet while in the shadow of His wings throughout the watches of the night.

If He'd like to spend time with me, and communicate with me, in the night, He awakens me at 3 or 4 a.m. and He's consistent with those times. It never fails, I'll wake up and look at the clock and we'll be right there on the hour together. I don't go planning for it, but it happens regularly enough. So this morning, after dreaming, it was 4 a.m. when I awoke and looked at the clock, no coincidences.

So it's been an hour and a half of getting my heart in order before the day unfolds. Due to all the early morning communications and preparations, I would think today is going to be a significant day in one way or another.

All I can do is be obedient and available through it all.

Dear Kirk,
Your faithfulness in listening and obeying the voice of Jesus is an encouragement to me.
Yesterday God gave me voice, courage and wisdom. I was able to sing almost every song in PILGRIM for Andre Wahl, Sarah MacLachlan's recording engineer. I was able to share with Andre about Jesus' faithfulness to me in my journey, and the passionate Father heart of God. Andre has a Christian family heritage, but has not been walking with Jesus for many years. I am praying most of all that Andre returns to Daddy God who loves him so much.
Thank you for praying and please continue for Andre.
Also could you please pray for the father of one of my piano students. Last summer he miraculously survived a horrendous motorocycle crash which crushed his left leg and burst his spleen. Dave Hunt is a man whom God is pursuing tenderly. I am praying for complete healing and his salvation.
blessings to you this day my friend!! xxxx Suzanne

was awake for a while around that time this morning as well. the dreams have been intense lately, though far more peaceful today.

praying for you today.

p.s. saw on your twitter feed that you're reading "The Prince". I played the role of Machiavelli years ago in a mock philosophy trial in high school.

Lisa, imagining you as Machiavelli nearly had me laughing out loud (almost). Suzanne, I'm praying... Heidi, thanks!

Well, I didn't say I did a good job of playing the role... just that I played it :)

And if there's any indication of what that exercise taught, the sum total of what I remember after "being" Machiavelli for a day or two is that he was Italian, wrote a famous book called "The Prince" and that he struck me as a rather harsh and grumpy individual :) oh, and maybe something about Leviathan... was that him or someone else?
