I had such a heavy oppressive spirit come over me tonight. It slammed into me, leaving me in utter sadness. Taking a walk, I hoped to clear it and understand what had happened. I suppose I was not meant to. Walking around the campus, my eyes were opened to nature in a way that they never have been before. Usually I see things in nature, messages of whats going on or visions of things to come, but tonight I saw life in the trees. Not life as in the essence of Christ, or the meaning, or any of that jazz, but actual life. I felt each tree had its own life force, its own personality and identity. One group of trees were leaning forward as if in earnest expectation for the Lord. Another group were not waiting in expectation, but were building up their forces, preparing themselves in strength for The Coming. Still another group were the comforters, not interested in fighting, but rather there for their fellow man, ready to lend a hand when needed. It made me wonder which group each of us fell in.
All this reminded me of the verse in the Bible where it talks about nature waiting in anticipation for Jesus to come back. Never before have I sensed such things in nature. I mean I have seen visions where trees or other things did have emotions and such, but these trees tonight were like people. I felt strengthened by them and truly believe that they are soldiers, ready to fight alongside us. This excites me so much. Each tree had this steady, quiet strength and a steady determination. We need to be more like the trees. They're preparing themselves; I can feel them rising up, ready for what is coming. Its hard for them to continue to remain quiet. As I walked around campus, I felt such security and encouragement from them.
I'm not sure what any of this means, but the trees on this campus have become extremely important. I pray that God will reveal the meaning behind everything soon, but for now I feel encouraged, in awe, and needed to write everything out and this seemed a good place to do it.
Speak and I will listen; show and I will see.....I await You in eager expectation.
