The chain.

I awoke not long after midnight and sleep eluded me. So after keeping my 10 000 step regimen where I walk and pray in my family room/studio, I decided to work on the computer. In truth I had realized sleep wasn’t coming back to visit.

Whilst on the computer I was researching courses …. short courses…. about prophesy and intercession. I was given a vision from the Lord of a chain being wielded through the air. Now in truth it made me think. I often pray about chains that I see around people and situations. What is the nature of a chain?

I was thinking yesterday about how we wear them around our neck, around our ankles and around our wrists. In that order. They are used to both beat and contain or even to protect. They are used for increased leverage too let’s not forget.

My son is trying to purchase his first home at the moment and my anxiety has noticeably increased as this process has continued. I see the process as a chain. The process of what buying a home and moving out of our home would entail. Or is entailing.

Is the working of independence met with a chain? If you say ‘yes’, is one ever independent? Or do we just cycle onto different roundabouts meeting a measure that has been preassigned for us. Like house insurance? In truth I wonder would anyone else be losing their precious beauty hours of sleep over such issues.

I pray he takes on life’s adjustments and sees his chain like his workout rope and builds strength from it. I choose to see this chain as protection for him. The burn … the bruising might come but in truth aren’t knowing what your limits are an important part of the maturation process growing into adulthood.

The empty nest is a mindset issue. In truth change brings many new things and I am excited about the next chapter unfolding. Whether a quick change of pace or a gentle one only time will tell I believe.
