A Post Before Bed

I don't know about any of you but I see weird things at times. Glimpses of something out of the corner of my eye or a shadow or a movement. A few days ago as I was walking up the ramp at my mom's I caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a tall, skinny wolf standing straight up on his hind legs as he ran around the corner of my mom's house. A flash of him and he was gone. I made note of it then went inside. No fear. No searching in myself for the meaning but I also do not discount myself when I get a glimpse that may be my imagination or may be a forewarning or may be shadows in the evening with the moon coming through the trees.

A few days later during the book study I attend at church I experienced a deep knowing in my spirit. I felt that the order of my life will change dramatically in the not so distant future. I felt that my mom is going to need much more care than she needs at this point in time and that her need will require more of me than I have imagined.

Tonight the moon is full. The clouds surround it in patterns of white and grey. I take no stock in such things as a full moon and yet I make mention of it because something is afoot in my world.

People rarely confound me. I believe I prefer denial to the knowings that ripple across my thinking as my intuition confronts me with pieces of a puzzle I prefer to allow to remain unsolved. Yet a voice I have come to know as the Holy Spirit draws my attention again and again to the pattern I see in the puzzle pieces. I ask for wisdom and yet draw back from the fruit of wisdom. I heard three owls calling today. It was not night though evening was near. Three! In my world something or someone is afoot. I don myself with the armor of God and prepare for a battle not of this world but of the princes and principalities of the dark one. Time will tell.

Lest you think I have gone off on a paranoid tangent I can assure you that is far from the truth. God is in charge. He always prepares me and you, if you will allow, for what is to come. He is love. Love shows me the way.
