I am quite a sight. I just arrived at work with a double latte and a Diet Coke—my hands were so full I barely could carry my teaching stuff! It is a funny thing that I drink more coffee when I am spiritually in a good state. It is not that mysterious though. When I am operating in God the right way all I want to do is God stuff, so it is typical for me that I will stay at church late like I did last night, and then wake up early to pray like I did this morning. Sleep seems so irrelevant in the light of God!

This morning the revelation continued. It was not in the way that that it had been, but more like The Lord confirmed to me the root I saw is really true and then this morning I got a glimpse back at the past. I think I see a correlation that my times of greatest spiritual freedom are related to this same area. This is truly life changing—but the funny thing is that it is all the most simple and basic tenet of true Christianity. Not any Christian anywhere will find an element of surprise at the basic concept—but I am telling you from basic concept to personal revelation is a life changer!

Last night at church I danced like I have in the past but haven’t in a long time. I took a streamer and fewer people than usual were there. I flew to a corner and flew around the floor. For half a second I thought about what I must look like, then I figure did not care! It was wonderful. I was beaming. Worship is never long enough when I am alive in the Spirit. But I would bet it was longer than is normal.

I am making friends now that am leaving. Randy from church—who is buying a couple of things from me—just moved into a house with a couple guys and is having a housewarming Saturday and we were yapping about moving and he said I was welcome to come. And I think I am going. You know what? I will be back often enough that it is not a bad thing to have friends here. He is helping me move Sunday evening. I barely know the guy but he gathered a couple people and they are helping me move my stuff to storage. That is what kind of church I have.

It was so good to see Terry last night. I kept hugging her every time she was nearby. She is so excited for me even not knowing specifically what has happened because it is obvious. We are meeting next week to talk. I told her in advance—this is a long one—but worth every second! Darrell and I are talking Tuesday night. I wanted to be sure he knew specifically too.

Darrell gave a message last night that encouraged me more in going on deeper with God. I want more more more. I am really stuck on his idea I previously mentioned of the measure of the Holy Spirit believers have. Obviously any measure of anything is in relation to faith. But I am looking at the Scriptures and what has previously happened with people. I want a deeper measure. I am seriously and actively seeking it. I think it helps that I know the key to dwelling in His presence as well. But now I want more of the Spirit. I am in passionate pursuit.

Anyway, I am trying to un-zombie myself today at work. I have almost inhaled my latte. I have two weeks and two days of work left. I have less than a week in my apartment. And I have NO CLUE what is happening YET! I am tempted to fear, but I am really not fearful. The logical fleshly part of me says that is nuts. But whether it is faith or Interminable Hope I still hold on and know it will work. I keep checking job boards in case what I think might happen doesn’t—so many jobs are there. One just opened up in Cedar Hill yesterday. I don’t really want it because it is junior high, but Cedar Hill is minutes from Shachah and in a very nice area of Dallas and offers a good salary. Things could be worse. But I guess it is a bit difficult because I know what I want and why. Oh well; I know it will work out and I know I will be happy. I have truly learned that location is not directly relevant to spiritual life. There are places that spiritual development is more conducive to an area, but you can be thriving spiritually in the most ungodly place.

Anyway, I better get in gear. Today is the last day with kids this week. Tomorrow my new loving attitude will be put to the test as I endure my last staff development here! Recall that it was the first one that was my first clue this was not going to be a heavenly job! I will make it. I will be a light. Wherever I go I will endeavor to do that.
