Yesterday, while listening to worship music, I heard a line from a song that wouldn’t go away. Another followed and then a third. I posted all three.

There is nothing too hard for God. The power belongs to God...

Sometimes the gravity of the truth hits and the spirit rejoices. Because you know. It isn’t lip speak. You’ve experienced Him.

Look and see. Take a look and see what God has done...

I’m in awe of what He’s done. He’s transformed my life. Healed my body and given me a purpose that I’m walking out. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. No one expected it. Least of all, me.

We on an ultralight beam. This is a God dream. This is everything...

And the climax comes. The God dream I’m living everyday. Watching my purpose come together is fulfilling. But yesterday, the magnitude of His hand in it all was overwhelming.

I recalled the discussion about a sewing classmate studying fashion design in London. I looked at my instructor and our eyes met. She had a knowing smile. Her eyes said what my heart knew. It’s not a coincidence. He sent me to her.

I thought of the completed projects and what I’ve selected next year. Twelve pieces for the wardrobe I’m constructing. And I relished the arrival of the sewing furniture I built in woodworking class. For my studio.

As the song played, he belted out these words:

We’re stepping out on faith.
His love is pure.
We are safe.
He is the risen Lord.


And the mustard seed was made real. I felt everything converge within and the kaleidoscope was beautiful. I knew every thing had a purpose. The synergy I experienced was Him at work. A morsel of trust brought me here.

A God dream.

You ever sit in the stillness and silence and instead of pondering what men have on their hearts, you search the heart of God and listen to what He says to you about what's on His mind?

some nights when I can’t sleep I would think upon God and dwell on him
Some nights I wonder what he is doing..

As Jesus said “my father never stops working” etc

so I would think what is God doing right now and then I would examine myself and think upon what he is doing in my life..etc

Then I would start seeing his hand has been with me so far
Delivering me and giving me life and hope and encouraging me to walk with him and pursue him and go deeper with him.. and I would find comfort and and peace with him knowing that he loves me..

I would also ponder on what his heart is for me.

I'm still pondering the questions that have been on my mind for years. Most are the type of questions I don't feel able to wrap language around them to describe them. Existential questions. Part of me likes them because they give my mind something to chew on, but another part of me doesn't like them because I just can't seem to figure any of them out satisfactorily.

We live in a tiny spec of whatever.

The stars are dandruff of a very huge mouse in space. Space is black because the mouse's fur is black.

Things out there appear frozen in time because ours move a lot faster in comparison.

Giant people and animals do exist but they even dwarf our entire universe. Too big for our eyes and minds to see in its entirety.

If something does not seem to exist, it's probably out there, too big to see!

What will my hands look like 50 years from now? Will I still have hands? Will I still be able to move them? Will I even be alive then?

100 years from now, myself and almost everyone I know will be dead... but we're not dead. We're alive! This is so cool. What are the odds of that? The fact that we're experiencing life at all is incredible! Wow. And we can do things, too! When you think about it, even the ability to breathe and think are truly astounding!

Am I really thinking this, or am I only thinking about my thoughts, which makes it *seem* like I'm thinking them? Some think thoughts aren't real unless written down, or shared with others, but by then it's no longer the actual thought. Given the nature of language, it's more of an abstraction than the original idea! Or, what If I make a concrete thing? A tangible widget. Can such a widget exist without the original thought? Can anything? I don't think so. Then again, what if I only *think* I don't think so? That would be silly.

Is it possible to learn this power?

Possibly. A good place to start is to try to imagine a blue-yellow without seeing green - it's not easy to do though, because your mind will always want to see green - but, a creamy, yellowy, custard blue is possible to imagine.

It's a very sophisticated colour - it's almost a shame I can't create it with paint. In physics blue and yellow makes white oddly enough, if you were to spin a wheel that was coloured blue and yellow you wouldn't see anything at all.

And then there's hyperbolic colours - they can be manipulated. They're just not very interesting: here's an example. Stare at the cross on the left for thirty seconds, then glance to the white hand side. Behold, a colour brighter than white (maybe not a terribly new colour, but certainly impossible.)
