‘The Awareness’

More Thoughts
Loved of The LORD, continuing on from a previous post where I wrote, “yet exercises, as writing this Post helps me along the way” and immediately after finishing it , I found myself very aware of “Being In HIS Presence”! With other things still on my plate, the phone rings and I am having a mentoring conversation, and wisdom flowing as if it was coming through another vessel.

Soon after hanging up, and as I was reflecting in amazement on that call, the phone rings again and it is a long time friend, who sounds frustrated, and wants to go to breakfast in the next week on his day off. While on the phone setting up the appointment, still aware of “Being In HIS Presence” I was also aware that it was going to be an interesting breakfast. It turned out to be a stretching (and growing) time for him personally and even in the relationship, I have with him.

This morning after seeing that I have not posted for a while and reflecting on how fast moving and complicated things have been, I needed to stop Everything and write myself back into HIS Presence again. Funny how these things happen!

Now what is so significant about this? It was not the need ‘Of Being In His Presence’, because in retrospect, I am always in His Presence, (You and I have known this, almost from the beginning.) it was and is The continual “Awareness” of being there! Now I know I said that, yet this is where I will hone in on that being the status quo.

Just as driving a car after a time, goes from being the priority of every thought and action to being a second nature, as multitasking enters the scene. e.g. Wow, I am smoothly going down this street, I will slowly and carefully reach over and turn on the radio; Soon turns into driving while reading the newspaper or putting on makeup. (I will skip over talking on a cell phone!)

Now this goes on till we see or get into a wreak, or even a ‘Near Miss’ where we start paying attention again to what is going on. … … … For a spell.

This is “How Good My GOD Is”! When the multitasking gets to be the priority of our Mundane and Spiritual thoughts and actions, I become … … … ‘sloppy’ in my practicing ‘The Awareness’, just like driving the car, I cause something to happen that gets me straighten out.

Whether this means anything to anyone, but me, I still want to write it (here) because it is working! ‘The Happening’ this time was ‘The Near Miss’ of posting this Blog regularly. AND, as always HE is meeting my need, i.e. Right this moment I am so ‘Aware’ of Being In HIS Presence! And it is sweet!
