It's 5:00 AM and I'm sitting beside the blazing Christmas tree a fire burning in the fireplace and the house is still, except for the voice of the Lord. I'm finding that the morning, for me, is the best time to seek Him. A pattern is developing slowly from the Lord receiving the answer to the inevitable question, "How do I find what you've found without going through what you've gone through?” I'm processing it through the Lord and it seems as though the answer is a person has to get still enough to let Him speak to their heart voluntarily or involuntarily and either way, they need to respond to Him by seeking Him, waiting on Him, listening to Him, responding to Him by pouring out Heavens salve when they have the opportunity during their everyday activities.

The key is to slow down your life enough to hear God's voice in the midst of chaos. Jesus did it amongst the chaos of his world leaving us a pattern for ours. He withdrew to be with his Father alone. That's where we hear him speak into our lives about his heart towards us and how he really feels about us, converting the lies the enemy of our souls has spoken to us over the past hours and tell us the truth. It's the time when we can just bask in the glow of Jesus presence and receive revelation for the day.

Fresh manna.

Today, we make trek back to UT Southwestern to meet with Elizabeth Maher my Neuro-oncologist to map out the next 7 weeks of my journey down this opportunity laden path. Pray for me that I will seize every moment to speak a good word for my King and be His ambassador. I pray for you that you will use my trials to further your journey deep into your Father's heart for your life!

Love, your friend and brother,
Tim
