As I shared in a previous post, Lela’s son had a key to a lock that switches rail road tracks and I thought it would be fun to take a picture of the key that switches tracks. For those wondering why, switching tracks was the theme of reviveTUPELO. Long story short, we never were able to get the key, so the task was incomplete in my mind.
Neil and I were in Iuka camping and he suggested we go antiquing to see if we could find a Rice container for my mother. On our adventure, I saw several cases of railroad keys, locks, and nails. I got the bright idea that all my TTR sisters needed one. I began searching online and found a store that sold them. I only ordered four, but the owner threw an extra one that I was able to keep for myself! Oh how His blessings have been pouring down on me!
I am not good at keeping a secret…but I managed to wait to give them out before our paint party. That morning, Lela pulled up and realized she had forgotten her keys to unlock the church. She explained if she had obeyed her husband’s suggestion of driving another vehicle, the church key would have been on the keyring. She made the statement “obedience is key!” I knew that was my sign to pass out their keys! Later that afternoon, we finally got our picture of the TTR crew switching tracks! I can’t wait to see what he has in store for MS and revive as a whole! The Lord is definitely moving!!!



In the pictures, I have circled two groupings of mistletoe. From the left picture, the Lord spoke to me “even though you may not see Me, I am always with you” (Hebrews 13:5)…and I was also reminded that I must keep His Word hidden in my heart (Ps. 119:11).
As I was I running errands this afternoon, I looked up and saw multiple lines of clouds in the sky. The Holy Spirit revealed that I the Lord has been allowing me to go deeper and deeper with Him. He has been showing me more and more of who He is…and the more He reveals, the more I want to know! I realized that each thing has been building on each other, much like these clouds. Each layer bridges the gap from earth to heaven and from my heart to His! Oh, how beautiful is His love for us!
Yesterday morning the Lord kept bringing dandelions to my attention. The yellow ones reminded me that I am supposed to be a shining light in the darkness. The dandelions that have turned to into a white ball reminded me that as the wind blows I am to spread His seeds of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. As I spread these seeds, they will take root and will turn into yellow flowers that will shine their light. Then, after they mature, they too will spread their seeds and multiply!
