sweet dreams.

I am a hundred percent serious. I actually had sweet dreams. Sweet like honey. Mhmm.... sticky honey dreams. Its funny how I tend to dream about things that have happened in the day (or sometimes days) leading up to a really good nights sleep. I am almost absolutely guaranteed to dream about it if it was something that smells really good! haha.

Yesterday was kind of a honey filled day. Honey in my coffee... honey in my second cup of coffee, honey in my tea (after two big cups of coffee yesterday morning I was a little jittery and decided to switch to a nice decaf tea), oats & honey granola bar (which I was eating on my way to...), and then the BIG honey part of the day...... learning how to extract honey at Big D's Bees. I came home saturated in the delicious smell of sweet honey... and I was also kinda sticky. I love learning about new things! I came home and told my mom all about what I had learned. I even got to "help" out. I think that I was a little slow though... okay a LOT slow. haha. Oh dear. I doubt I'll ever be invited to 'help' again.

So I have been thinking about something for about the last week......

Going back to school. Maybe. I dunno. Its just a thought at this point. But I really want to do more. I love learning and being creative... so I was thinking of maybe taking some kind of art course... but then again, even though I love doing those things, I don't think I am too good at them.... so I don't really know. (yes... I do realize that the point of taking a class is to LEARN and therefore become good at new things.. but I still don't really know). At this point I am just thinking about it. I am not making any decisions. I am not saying yes or no to anything. I am not choosing a program to enroll in. I am just thinking about maybe doing something... someday... somewhere... maybe.

Last night before I went to bed I was reading in Matthew and I came across these verses

Then they brought him a demon possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see. All the people were astonished and said, "Could this be the Son of David?"

But when the Pharisees heard of this, they said, "It is only by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that this fellow drives out demons."

Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?"

This got me thinking. I have seen the church divided against itself... against each other... because of different views of how things should be. We see things in different ways and come against each other with 'righteous' anger, hatred and judgement. It breaks my heart to see this division and the catastrophic outcome it has on the body of Christ.

How do we solve this? How can we unite? How do we throw off judgment? How do we seek truth?

If we can't stand strong with each other as we seek God, how do we stand and fight again Satan? If we are divided we are weak, we have no hope to hold onto.

It is time to stand upon the Word. Seek HIS truth. Show true love to everyone... even our brothers and sister in Christ!!! Start within.

For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

Our words (and actions) reflect who we truly are on the inside. What do your words and actions say about who you really are?
