Deep waters

Me: Good morning, Lord. I don't really have a main question to ask You today. But, I do want to say something. I love You. these past few months have been terrifying and wonderful all at the same time. Thank You for showing me a way to be in Your presence and the confidence to enter it. Thank You for the gift of intimacy with You. Lord, I want to be a good steward of this gift. Please show me how to keep going and to go even deeper into our relationship.

God: Patrick, you know you don't have to come to Me with a question. I just want to be with you, too. I love you, as well. I am so overwhelmed with joy to see and hear you seeking Me every morning. It's the best part of My day. Patrick, keep coming. Some times will be harder than others to enter in to My presence, but that is because some days you will be dealing with more stuff than others. Just keep coming. I AM here. You will never be denied My presence or My voice.

I will take you into the deep things. I created you to be a deep sea diver. You can handle the deep waters. Not every one is able to handle the pressure. I created you for this.

Just be patient and let me take you when you are ready. That time will come, and even now, you are testing the waters and becoming acclimated.

Me: Lord, I will wait. You know I am usually impatient, but I feel comfortable letting You lead me in this. I think, it is because all of this is so new to me, that I feel like I really don't know how to go deeper. Help me stay focused on You.

God: I want you to do those things that I have told you in your journal to do. When I give you a suggestion or a task, it would be good for you to do it. What I tell you is really for your benefit, and not just to fill up your journal.

Find structure for your days, and try to work within that structure. If during your day, you do not know what to do, apply what I have shown you about creativity. Ask Me, and I will show you.

Me: Lord, what about the idea that my wife and I were kicking around?

God: I thnk it is a good idea. You need to develop it and see how it could grow itself and create income at the same time. Do some research. It is a good idea.
