Practice His presence

It is human nature to get lonely. Everyone knows I am single so, of course, I am not different than anyone else. There are times when I feel alone but then I remember that I am not. I am never alone. Jesus is always with me and what I am about to tell you will sound silly but it works.

When I first started practicing His presence there was a chair in my office that I would pretend Jesus was sitting in. On my most lonely days I would put my head in this chair and cry out to Jesus. I would tell Him how bad things around me were. This is when my process was just beginning. I had read a book and I am going to give you the run down on what I read. There was a girl in church that wanted her pastor to go see her dad. Her dad was dying and she wanted to make sure he was saved. The pastor went and presumed the daughter had told her dad he was coming because there was a chair beside his bed. I hope I can get through this without crying. The pastor was talking to the dad and asked him about Jesus and the guy said, “you’re sitting in His chair” the pastor was shocked to hear this. The dad continued to tell him that he knew he was never alone and put the chair there so he could always see, in his imagination, the Lord sitting with him. This practicing His presence allowed her dad to pray differently. The pastor was satisfied that the young girl’s father knew Jesus. After they chatted a little while longer he prayed for him and left. About a week later the girl called her pastor to make sure her daddy knew the Lord. The pastor asked her why, see, how we all want the why? The girl told the pastor that she had found her father deceased with his head in that chair beside his bed. He died with his head in Jesus’ lap. How tender is that? How magnificent is it that we are never alone we only need to practice Him being with us.

Nope, couldn’t get through that without crying but I did try. I have learned that when I need an extra dose of Jesus I get out that chair and put it next to me. I pretend He is sitting on the couch with me when I am watching a movie and I prop those pillows just right and lay my head in His lap. I dont use my office much anymore but that chair that I laid my head in when all of this started is still in there. When I need Him He is there, which is all the time. Now I know He is with me everywhere I go and I talk to Him nonstop. If you ever see me talking to myself please know it is not myself I am speaking to but Jesus that is right next to me. It isn’t silly to me, anymore. This is the best way for us to get it in our natural minds that He is indeed right next to us at all times. Get you a chair or some pillows.

I have even learned that with pillows, an electric blanket and my imagination I can even have Him next to me when I sleep. You can laugh with me now. Remember, those of us that can laugh at ourselves will forever be entertained. I am always entertained and I have become fine with being single because I am never alone. I was always a loner and never needed a lot of people around me.. so much so that I had to get over stage fright. He did this with me by having me go to Walmart to heal people. He knows I want everyone healed more than I am afraid.. lol.. we are never alone! He is with you wherever you are and will meet you no matter the road you are on. Get ya some pillows ladies. Dont you dare go chasing a man not worthy of who the Lord has created you to be for Him. The Lord will send whoever He wants you with straight to you. You need not look but detach, let it go (your desire to be with a man) and know you are never alone. Those pillows and the electric blanket work! And, when I wake up there is so much peace that it almost feels like I am back in heaven with Him. See, He is always with me and He is always with you.

I have dinner with Them. I have 3 empty seats at my table and that is where my Daddy, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit and I commune. I talk to them as if they are sitting there, because they are. If anyone ever walked in on me they would think I was bat crap crazy, haha!, but I am. I am crazy for Jesus! Have fun practicing Their presence and have fun with Them! They are very funny when you get to know them. I laugh nonstop. This might be why people tell me I need to be heavily medicated lmbo! To them I bet I seem nuts. If I had run across someone like me in my past life I would have thought they were insane and needed to be in a home haha.. now, I get it. I love this! Could life be a little better? I am sure people would look at my life and wonder how I could be happy but I am happier than I have ever been in my life. It will take a man that is being led by the Lord to ever be apart of my life. I cannot nor will I submit to a man that isn’t let by the Lord. I have done that already in my life and I want different. Dont you? All women need to be this content. My life is far from all put together but I am living proof of what God can do when He totally gets someone wrapped up in Him.

I dance with Him. Dancing is, at times, part of my prayer life. He lets me know when we need to dance. He lets me know when I need to do anything. He will change anyone if they give Him the chance. I love Him so much, if you cant tell. He is my absolute everything and the keeper of my heart, the lover of my soul, and the best boss I have ever had in my life. You can do this. Nothing is more important than you getting right with God and becoming one with Him. If He can do it to me He can do it to you as well. Have fun with Him. Goodnight and God bless!
