Now Moments

This morning when I opened my daily meditation from Marsha Burns, I read this wonderful declaration: "There is a great blessing released when you embrace your now moments with eternal hope."

Wow, that's powerful. It forces me to stop and ask, "What are my "now moments?" You and I have those moments tucked inside each and every day that we live. All too often I think we miss embracing them, and sometimes we even let them slide by unnoticed.

As I moved through the ten Days of Awe preceding the Day of Atonement, I was aware of "now moments" of vastly different natures. Some moments almost leveled me with conviction in my spirit. Moments when I knew my Father was saying, "You have injured. You have neglected. Reach out to those and ask for forgiveness." I hope I embraced those moments with eternal hope and quickly responded to the Lord's correction.

Then there were moments of hilarious joy when I drove down to New Mexico to spend time with John, my husband-to-be. We laughed as I have not laughed in years, and we ascended to new heights in worship, as we embraced the full understanding of what it will mean to serve our King as a team! We really are embracing those moments with eternal hope, keeping before us the vision of what God wants to do with these two vessels whom He is joining together in Him. "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken." (Ecclesiastes 4:12)

Thank you for all the lovely, encouraging well wishes you have sent. It means the world to me! And for those who have written to ask, the mission to Bulgaria is still on for Spring 2011 and John has received an official invitation to come and minister with me in that nation.

Now the Feast of Tabernacles is upon us, beginning tonight as the sun sets. It is known by the Jewish people as "the season of our joy." I pray it will be so for each of you. I pray it will be a time of rejoicing right in the midst of the chaos and turmoil of our world. May we all embrace the "now moments" of these next seven days, and clearly hear the sounds of singing and rejoicing in the streets of Judea and Jerusalem, which are yet to come!
