well, when you speak aloud something you've only uttered under your breath and to no one who can hold you accountable...it's as if you commit yourself to act on your words, right? I've done so. In prayer, but aloud, I've spoken of my desire to act. So a loving friend said 'first, form a PLAN OF ACTION' and she wrote this on the back of a menu while we were talking. Set forth a plan. What will it take to accomplish? Finances? Start saving. Consider the possible results of your actions. Are you prepared in all ways to cope with desired or undesired results of your actions? I'm imagined this step a hundred or more times. Now I've done more. I've made specific petition to the hearer of prayer, and will know his answer soon. I was asked, in regard to dealing with changing something if we could...if I knew for a certainty that I only had 24 hours left, what would I do? My immediate response was 'get on a plane'. So the point was made...none of us have any guarantees of the next day...time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all. So I am getting on a plane. I'm making plans, seeking guidance and direction, and will go to Corvallis and just attend the meeting, and under no obligation at all...Sara can choose to talk to me or not. I pray for the best outcome...and I can't believe Jehovah wants a bad one...he formed families, after all. So I am, like Jacob, petitioning my child for forgiveness and love, and hope that rather than find a wall or war, she greets me like Esau. We shall see...will road blocks arise? If so, perhaps it means, not no, but just not now? As in all things, Jehovah, not my will, please, but yours. So this is my course/plan of action for Sara. And even for Shane...I have an address and phone number for him, and although his father refused my call...perhaps he won't refuse someone else's. So...let's see.
Psalm 27:14 Hope in Jehovah; be courageous and let your heart be strong.
Yes, hope in Jehovah.
