Starting the Engine

Happy New Year.... yes, a bit over due.


It's been a little tough getting the engine started this year. I feel like I'm trying to push into second gear but there's a bit of rust lost in relaxation... and thoughts. Nevertheless, it's going to be a good year ahead. Maybe the first month is going to drag a little bit, counting each second tough to handle.

Why?

Well.. The princess thought she could handle it better than she really can. She has made herself vulnerable once again... Sad face. Maybe she could channel all her energies elsewhere more productive, rather than fuel the melancholic system more than it deserves.

今晚她忍不住掉下眼泪了...

To redirect some light in this oncoming fog, the King draws her towards His voice.

"...I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
- Philippians 3:13-14 (NIV)

And the resounding encouragement once again reminded from the prophetic presbytery last May...

"And you know, work was always meant to be a pleasure. Many people never realise that work is pleasure. And you love doing the hard stuff. You love achieving and not because you have a pressure to succeed, or pressure to perform, but because you love doing the difficult stuff. You just get a joy over winning. You have that real spirit of an over comer. The words, ‘You are more than a conqueror really means something to you.” But you say, “I am a conqueror, give me something to conquer. Give me someone to beat. Give me someone that no one else is game.”
 
"There’s been those times when you’ve been frustrated, and that frustration has come out. And then you started beating up yourself – “Can’t have that attitude, can’t speak that way, can’t think that way!” But this courage, and this strength and this fighter within you is not just yourself. It’s not a flesh thing. The Spirit of the Lord is truly upon you and He’s on you for victory."


"Because of what you sense in the realm of the Spirit, that’s transmitted into your being, and you are contagious. You wanna make sure that others get it, so that you know, it’s what you’re hearing from God, this is the ‘now’ word. It’s not yesterday’s word, it’s not tomorrow’s word. It is the now word. This is what we are to be doing NOW, this is what God is saying NOW, this is where we put our energies NOW. And out of that comes spiritual activity."

"You’re not one that sit to let the days grow between your toes. You wanna make sure you are up and doing what needs to be done. Now some people misunderstand that and they think that she’s just hard driving. And the Lord says that this is how He has made you for a purpose because He wants you to be able to be infectious, so that you share this with others, and that you actually provoke them into love and good works. Spiritually alert. Spiritually alive. And spiritually active."

"I’ve called you to be one that will hear my voice and that would understand the purpose and would initiate the purpose. Don’t hold back says the Lord, even as I speak to your heart , launch forth and you shall see good success, says the Lord. 

Now, I cause there to be even a creativity in working out my purposes, says your God. You shall be one that shall understand what it is needed to happen at that time and you will encourage others to flow along with it, says the Lord. And you shall have good success. 


Sister, I just see that God’s calling you to be an initiator. He’s calling you to hear from heaven and begin to step out in faith on that. And there’ll be others that you’ll need to encourage to be a part of that."

I can't begin to title the year yet... but maybe, the nice title to 2013 will come soon. Till then.

For now... here's a song that comforts and refreshes.
