Quiet Days

Its been quiet the last couple of days.  Our class does not start up again until tomorrow.  I'm doing the 10 day session.  Its entitled "Cultivating a Prophetic Spirit".  Prophecy, since the day I heard of it, has fascinated me.  I'm sure we'll cover the basics - Fast, Pray, Clean Eyes, Pure Heart.  But, I'm hoping there's a little more to it than that.

So, the last two days I've been hanging out at home.  I have a slow start to the day, eat breakfast, read my Bible, journal, nap, eat lunch, head out to the Prayer Room, come home, eat supper and watch a bit of TV, maybe finish off some tidbits then go to bed.

I've had to Theme kinda things over the last couple of weeks.  Things that I'm learning, watching my thoughts on and changing my thinking about.  The first was - comfort from God, not looking to other people or things.  That's a big one for me.  And, I definitely don't have it under control at all - but, its better.  Except for the eating - right now my ability to control what I eat sucks.  Number two - no more doing things out of guilt and no more allowing myself to feel guilty.  That's another huge one.  I never realized how much guilt and fear of hurting/upsetting another (or God) actually drove so much of what I do.  

This coming weekend is the Israel Mandate conference.  I've never been compelled to think or pray about Israel, but apparently it is a big deal to God.  So, this coming weekend I get to hear a little bit more about it.
