Empty Nest and July 4th

Today we, Jill and myself, traveled to Austin(about a 2.5 hour trip) to have lunch with our youngest Dylon. He moved there with his best friend back in May thus beginning our lives as Empty Nesters. I'll admit that the day I dropped him off and said goodbye that enormous lump came to my throat and remained for hours and I consistently had to fight back tears for several days. For over a year Dylon and I (along with a stray friend now and then)would daily grab a bite to eat or walk during lunch. An adult level friendship began to grow peppered with that always frustrating (to him as much as myself) needful parenting moment. So after just two months I still miss him! Back to the main thought....As we arrived at his apartment he was not interested at all in letting us come in and see his apartment. He hopped into the car and we were off to eat. The restaurant was not at all busy so we had a very leisurely lunch catching up on his life and moments and enjoying his humorous, almost like a stand up comedian, take on his Austoning life. As the time was coming to an end we prompted the desire to see his dwelling, he was not going to allow it...something about dirty dishes and "stuff!" After arriving home and being prompted to blog for the first time in over a year I'm realizing that emotions are always going to be present when it comes to your kids. I tend to get very quiet with my thoughts especially when it comes to missing my kids. Now, with unfinished emotional thoughts above, I think I'm going to go sit on the front deck, eat watermelon with friends and watch some fireworks over Lake Brownwood. I really shouldn't complain.....

Thus says The Lord: The light has gone out of the churches of men! Therefore I, even I, have removed all candlesticks from their places, and shall not return them again until the time is fulfilled, when all these men in authority humble themselves and seek MY face and MY glory... And turn from the glory of men.

Thus the veil is not yet lifted. For even these who turn to Me do disobey even all I have given them... A great stifling of My Spirit... Refusing to be led by faith and in trust, embracing rather all doctrine borne of men and the harlot, from whom all abominations were conceived and passed down, says The Lord.



No church of men shall stand in the Day of The Lord!...



For The True Church and Bride shall be taken,

According to the truth her heart reveals...



Yes, all those in whom I see of Myself.



And of these who do continually resist My word, who do pervert their way among many witnesses, they shall in no wise escape, but shall bring Me glory in the Day of The Lord, which comes very quickly... For behold! The hand of The Lord God is upon the multitude and shall not be moved, and many sons and daughters shall come into glory by great tribulation! A great city shall be built up in the midst of many sorrows... Yet in Heaven, great rejoicing!... A city, a city! A city, called Martyrdom! Says The Lord of Hosts.

Therefore, hear and understand the will of The Most High God, who reigns high above the heavens: The wheat shall be gathered, and taken into the bosom of The Prince! Yet the multitude shall be left in the Refiner’s fire... For by no other means shall these, even many of these called by The Christ’s own name, come into glory as My everlasting treasure.



It shall be done, it shall surely be;

The Lord has spoken and it shall be done,

Even in one week...



I shall bring forth the truly converted of heart,

Humble and penitent, from all the earth!...



You shall surely behold the angels of Heaven

Ascending and descending upon

The Son of Man, Your Redeemer...



GIVE HIM ALL GLORY!



For the first harvest shall be lowly, of the lowly,

And the second plenteous, beyond the numbering of a man.
