Art of Gifts

David Rim

*Yawn & stretches towards the heavens* My soul is restless today. Up like a bad habit of getting to work early. Might as well make my way to church all my preparation is finished. Should be a chaotic day. A lot of firsts for our church.

Should I move my vehicle? I do not know how long my energy will last. Aww that's my friend that I gave rides to church for years. Let's focus back to the mission at hand. This is some organized chaos getting everything ready before people come to service. This new space is looking solid. Fresh paint, newer carpets and some walls taken down to create a little extra cozy space. Aww that's my friend from college days. It's good to see everyone at the top of the year. There's still a few missing though. God's funny placing them all back here together.

I'm so hyper focused on my tasks today. Will I be able to break away and observe?

Gifts kept on coming. More and more friends started to arrive. Friends that always serve at church. Friends that just brought a kid into this world. Friends I haven't seen because of the holidays. We all here united together for now. Gifts of blessings from God. However, equally the body needs to pray and fight daily against the opposite forces. The leaders are not enough. It's not that they are not strong enough, but they falter too and also need someone by their right and left arm saying, "hey we got this." God's been quietly working with me. With everything I have been asking. God's been either healing, growing, plucking things out and just deeming my reliance for the supernatural.

God gave me extra gifts today. I forgot my insulin even though I brought the supplies. The playful side inside me was trying to bend medical work with being good with their hands. But clumsiness or nervousness could be fine. Where every response was made with my natural response and not the tailored thought to lead a tailored desired response. It was a pleasant surprise where I just say my greetings. And continued focusing on the tasks at hand. Where familiarity is known, but the mystery still clouds.

When mutuals meet n greet. Then my friend says my name. The light bulb that appeared from the individual that I was working with all morning warmed my heart.

I should work on creating more warmth and goodness. I need your professional opinions. Will I end up bowling after service then joining for lunch? Or will God place me in a position to serve at church then join for service + lunch? That is the gift from God. That is the litmus test and path I am supposed to head. I know things that make me seem like a lunatic. Because if you know you just know. It's also not the end of the world for me. Because the reiatsu around me beaming. And my En is emitting the same strength as Pitou showed. Been watching some anime lately to not dwell.
