Sunflowers

      I think it was last month, I would have to check to see, that this happened.  But I had a dream where God showed me an old boyfriend of mine would come to know Him.  I woke up excited and yet a little leery.  I mean, God usually wants me to get back in touch with people and share something with them when I find this out.  So, I took a minute to ponder it and kind of pushed it out of my mind.  I did not know how this person felt about me anymore...if there were hard feelings...or if I could even find them (though I know that is an excuse because God would let me find them if I was supposed to).  So, I put it out of my mind and told God to bug me if He wanted me to do it.
     And He did.  Chuckles...oh he reminded me.  Not in an all consuming way.  But gently.  I even had another dream a few nights later.  So, I couldn't find him anywhere but on facebook, so I had to create a facebook account in order to get in touch with him again.  I did and he accepted my friend request, thank God.  I thought I was supposed to send him a particular teaching by Andrew Wommack, on the True Nature of God.  But when I offered he declined.  So,  I kept things casual and cool and light and was just honest with him.  I have had a tendency with him to really want to go in depth and be really involved and to even get emotional.  On some level I still look for acceptance from him.  But I think God is showing me some things with that, as well. So I am happy to learn more about myself, as God reveals it to me.  Plus, he is not a bad man, he has a good heart.
     I was just elated when he allowed me to send him a gift for his birthday this week!  I love love love giving!   And yes, people will slap turn you down cold, even if it is for homemade chocolate syrup!  Crazy but true!  So, to find out he really liked the box I sent him and even thanked me for the bible, really made me feel good.  To know I did something right always feels good...like a pat on the back...or a fist bump.  I even got the best compliment I have had in years, too.  So,  I treated myself to some sunflowers.  I bought a small bouquet at Publix...only 3.33, but it brightens my day still and reminds me of the joys of doing what God asks us to do.

I put them in two places so I could see them more often.  The white flowers are some random thing from our garden.
