Thanks Renato for commenting, and doing so enthusiastically. I am encouraged in a few ways. I was tired last night and could not sleep. Then I thought I might start a blogpost. I looked in my writing software and found today’s already written. I had done it two weeks ago & saved it-then forgotten! So, it needed lots of editing. I did that, selected all and accidentally hit the delete button! So at 2:00 AM I finally in my tired mind remembered how to reverse the delete after searching for an hour-so simple Control Z or Edit Undo. But, I posted it immeditately and it was not 2:00 AM there in Europe but morning-a good time for you to see the post! Your comments, all three, are not only appreciated but catch the center of God’s heart I feel. Keep coming back and sharing your thoughts! Bob

Terrific, Bob!
God has given us wings to fly, but often we feel too secure in the nest, so He has to give us a PUSH! I know He did for me a couple of years ago, but am I happy now to be able to fly and soar on high towards the higher levels of faith that He’s calling us to! It’s the jumping out of the nest that is difficult… fear plays a big factor in that! But faith is the opposite of fear, and God often has to stretch the wineskin of our faith, so that we can accommodate His new wine of revelation without bursting to pieces! Let us pray for the Oil of His Spirit to soften our wineskin and make us more stretchy and ready for the New Wine that He has for us!

Yes, Nathan. Maybe we play the whole album by Petty, including, “You don’t Have to Live like a Refugee!”

I am always grateful to write and connect with you. Thank you, Amy, Vanessa and Diane. Each of you took time to read and post. Very appreciated that is. There is just enough time to get ready. I am writing to encourage people not to get frustrated and give up. It is easy to forget unless we REALLY KNOW HIM. Then we never give up. I cannot imagine life without knowing Him as I do-not now.

I will get an audio widget, Amy and play Tom Petty sometime!

Vanessa, you paid a great honor. Thank you. Send the messages your friends need for encouragment and understanding. So many are angry or feel “lost” as I said. No need for that, we are learning to fly and it hurts some!

Diane, you represent the new wine. I think it is the Kingdom of Heaven perhaps best stated. The new wineskin is LOVE. I think you understand that well, too, and represent it even better. Thank you for coming here and commenting. BB

My Brother and Friend,

This is a very timely message for the Body of Christ. You are right, we are caught between the old and the new. The old is no longer comfortable but the new is unknown. I believe God will do as you said, new things in this era. We all need Grace and we can have as much as we need and want as we walk in Christ. Indeed, the old wineskin will mot be able to hold the new wine. As Christians we must step up to a new level.

Thank you so much for hearing from our Father and having the boldness to share it with us. As usual I am blessed by your writing. It is life changing and so necessary for “Such a Time as This.” It is indeed a new Day! It is an exciting time to be alive…

In His love and mine,
Diane

“I’m learning to fly….but I ain’t got wings…Comin’ down…is the hardest thing”…(Tom Petty)
We’re choosing to leave the nest! Great post!
