I have a load of items to post but haven't made the time. I'm surprised how quickly time has gone by noting the last posting date. Transitioning from Canada to the US requires significant amounts of energy so when I'm not doing that, I'm doing nothing.

With regards to the move, I have come to the conclusion that the sole purpose of the relocation is to ensure my continued growth in faith. I believe the majority of the impact has already occured and my perspectives have been painfully yet fruitfully realigned. The process is very similar to what I underwent while leaving Honda. The major difference being that I've gone through it before. So the shock of the root ripping of previously hidden securities is somewhat muted but only in the long term realization (from experience) that I will be cared for. I wore clothes to work today and have enough money for a Sub, so what's my problem.

Like Abraham, whose hand was stayed by an angel on the downstroke to knifing his son, the result is not as important as the attitude. Rees Howells had a similar experience when he wanted to heal a woman who was dying. The Holy Spirit told him no probs, but you will lose your life in the process. Not the answer he was looking for. He struggled greatly until he came to the conclusion that he would proceed. He layed hands on the woman and healed her, yet no harm came to himself. In later reflection he realized the process gave him the attitude that was required to be an intercessor. He really had to be willing to stand between death and the woman. And it really wasn't so that God would know; it was so that he would know. That opened the door in his soul so that the power would flow in honour. (will spell that honor next week)

P.S.
Crappy laptop crashed while generating this post. The recently added 'auto draft' mode kicked in so when I booted back, the majority of my text was in a draft post. Very cool.
