In the Kingdom of Heaven, TIMING IS EVERYTHING. I have learned this through years of experience: if the Lord wants me to go now, then I have to go now; if the Lord wants me to go in three days, then I better wait for three days or else I won't be able to get a ride. The Lord really knows how to put roadblocks in your path. We are supposed to be led by the Holy Ghost and not our brains.<br /><br />That was a very interesting dream. Obviously, the Lord is showing you something: don't do it now, wait on the Lord's timing.<br /><br />The Lord has given me a measure of faith to hitchhike. So when it comes to getting rides or my next meal, I have faith in God that I will get a ride or that I will get a meal. <br /><br />I do get odd jobs on the road. I made some money working for my friends in Cedarville, California and so when I lost my sleeping bag in Idaho, I hitchhiked to Helena, Montana and bought a brand new sleeping bag (my best bag I have ever had; it is rated at 10 degrees F.). If I lost my sleeping bag (and there are no accidents in the Kingdom of Heaven) and got a better, warmer sleeping bag, maybe this means that if I am hitchhiking this winter, it may be a colder winter than last winter. This summer has been cooler than last summer. Last summer I carried three water bottles; this summer I carried two water bottles (hence the term Three-Water-Bottle Summer or Two-Water-Bottle Summer--reminds me of Three Dog Night: One dog night is cold; two dog night is colder and three dog night is coldest--I saw this on a temperature gage in Montana).<br /><br />Right now I am in Victor, Idaho staying with some friends. God willing, I will be heading into Wyoming tomorrow.Tim Sheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07931913325290043598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129556058615289740.post-23746118438145623532010-09-28T23:04:10.563-06:002010-09-28T23:04:10.563-06:00This is a great post!

Figure that's where God needs me to be. Don't you ever get scared or worry about where your next ride/meal/etc. is coming from? <br /><br />Presence of God has been burning me up too, but I keep having a feeling of "bad timing." I don't know if it's God making me hesitate or my own cowardice. I worry about missing the right time. I feel like I'm being called but I don't know where, and I worry that maybe it's my own doubt stopping me from going.<br /><br />I had a dream about a week ago. I was in a huge outdoor stadium packed full of people, but most of the front of the stadium was still being built, and there was a huge construction zone. Musicians were setting up for a show on stage, and people kept climbing through the construction zone trying to get better seats, but then someone fell and got hurt. Everyone started panicking, trying to see what had happened. A woman came out on stage with a megaphone and said, "Stop! Everyone stop and return to your seats!" <br /><br />At that moment, a famous performer cruised down the middle aisle of the stadium on a skate board. He was holding peace signs in the air and trying to get everyone's attention, but nobody cared because everyone was too busy worrying about who had been hurt on stage. I pointed to the man on the skateboard and said "That was bad timing!" The people around me heard it, and within seconds the entire stadium was repeating me, "Bad timing, that was bad timing, that was bad timing," over and over again. Then I woke up.<br /><br />I understand that I need to wait and be patient, but then why do I feel the Spirit calling?poetsforpeanutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209171840636823473noreply@blogger.com
