Relational developements

As I have asked, He was faithful to deliver.

Since my last post I have had the opportunity to meet and speak with, at length, four persons who were real live powerhouses, though like Gandolph while in the shire, somewhat cloaked with plain-oldness in outward appearance. Each were somewhat akin to me in attitude toward what they have found both in the world and in the church.
Like me, they had all hoped that leaders would care about them while leading, that those in a position to hear a case and make a call would do so without bias though it might be to their own hurt, that the "parent" (in a relationship) would give grace and take more responsibility than the "adolescent", and that the church would work less like a business and more like a Holy Order.
The background of each of these folks included personal assistant to Corey Tinboom, multimillion dollar company founder, apostolic church planter and performance academy founder. Each having found a high degree of success has recently taken a step back and is now searching for the answer, though not in the usual or familiar places.
Each believes that God is up to something...new.
Is this who I prayed for?
What am I supposed to do now?
I think I need to pray some more..

11-25 What it comes down to.

Well, I was talking today to one of my friends(Jesus),
and as I answered the question of what I want going into this holiday season, I answered; "Relational Connectivity".
It surprised me. (I tend to be an observer of people, even myself.)
As soon as I said it I realized my peril.
The next question from my friend was " Oh yeah, at what cost?"
Above;
Work/Money?
Perfect? (rather than not quite)
More?( rather than less)
Approval?
I think my answer ought to be.....yes?

I will let you know how this works out.

11-15 (my insurance payment is due!^%#*)

Until one has the right relationship to their own ambition, peace and true joy remain fleeting.

My heart wants. period. That is its job. If I have one, though I have lost touch with it, it being in exile still wants, hopes,& longs. Its like a compass; if there is a magnetic field it will respond, it cant help itself.
It knows what I want.
I must need to strike up a communication link with it. Sit down for coffee or take it out on a date.
If its me why am I so far from myself?
Right now I want people to use their brains but not for a sprint rather a ultra distance race.
Can you?
Welcome, welcome boys and girls.
It is not by accident you have glanced this way... Come closer.

I only have this one question to ask. What do you want.
The answer is not the answer though.
The answer is the path, and there you'll wait or there you will follow.
If it were an ice cream flavor could you answer, would it even be smart
to not ask back just in case. "are there 3 or 31".
Don't come a-post'en until you've done at least a little thinking.

Oh, my answer, well I don't have to answer. You may just copy me and that's not good for you.
