So here we go for my weekend was unique and awesome. A wonderful cousin contacted me and asked me, Hey Nicole, I want to come pick you up and take you anywhere you want to go. (I thought about South America, but didn't want to pack and get a passport, so close a nearby park). LOL We arrive (oh by the way we are both photographers). We get to t he lake and the first thing I notice is they had to cut some beautiful trees down, so as to put in a skate park :( oh well, S I G H............
We park and I see the water level is down for our low/drought condition of a season. :( I start telling myself to LOOK for the good. So we start walking and I start hearing those lake/water birds like red winged blackbirds, common yellow throat warblers, some common geese, mallard, American coots, and so much more. I, well OH my gosh, I feel like I am back home again. (another story for another time). We continue to walk and I see those cool white pelicans! American White Pelicans! I get some cool shots and then they take off and fly, soar, and for the rest of the day, they just seem to become the focal point and subject of the day for both Roseanne and I. I take my time and just stand behind some reeds and see what "might" peek out of there and sure enough I get to see those little warblers I shared earlier of: Common Yellowthroat warblers. I see some cool herons, and those delightful dancing egrets too. My eyes follow the egrets and see they are making their nests in the tall Eucalyptus trees by the Library. I never knew there were so many nest in such a few trees. WOW! Walking, I get close the end of the lake, and do pray, declare, decree, fill up the Lake, Lord, bring in the rain and fill us up. I repent for taking advantage and not treasuring the land, and just forgetting about her. Amen.
Next time, I will probably take out my flags and do a rain dance! It's anointed, so it will work. :) Let's get back to the walk now. We start back, and choose not to circle the entire lake. We get back and those pelicans are docile now and just quiet.......... AND THEN, these two kids go and scare them. I get so errrrrrrrrrr, but convince myself the birds aren't hurt, just watch. So I do. These waterfowl choose to leave their sandbar of a peninsula and go to an island like place that is harder to get to. You have to go around the entire park to get there. I start thinking they are smarter than I give them credit for.
Oh yeah! I started to share about numbers, for last time was colors. Ready?
As I shared we got to the lake and saw so much life, birds and more. The pelicans became a focal point and subject of the day. I got home and looked through my photography and what caught my attention was the birds in flight ............OH!!! the next day, for the lake trip was Saturday, and on Sunday I was home, and that is no where near any lake. I am in my backyard and look up and what do I see? PELICANS!!!! They soar up there for about 10 minutes and take of in 2 different directions.
So the conclusion of my weekend (which I was fasting "Doing, Doing" another posting/another time), was the fact 2 different number kept presenting themselves. The #3, and #4.
Three can mean a variety of things and I do have some Christian books that have helped me, but sometimes numbers can be personal. #3 can be about braiding, something in your life needs more than just you to accomplish it. It can stand for the Trilogy, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, again which is being attached somewhere in God. Many of us have isolated ourselves, and of course use social media, but even on Facebook, you can isolate yourself from having close freindships. The #3 can have to do with conforming. Learning this does take study in regards to what was created on the third day of creation. Oh also this is the first geometrical figure. Again when I look at those lines, 2 lines can't make a figure, and it take 3 to make a figure to contain anything. I look at marriage , I look at friendships, please include the Lord to make that relationship complete. Also there were 4 pelicans in flight at the park. 4 is a cool number, most likely having to do with ruling/reigning. Seeing the pelicans Saturday, they were a focal point and another interpretation of #4 is dominion /dominance. What dominates you? What do you give dominance in your life. So I "could" interpret the weekend that the Lord either needs to be in UTTER dominance over my /our/ you life. How many of us have given CHRIST UTTER dominance over our lives. I haven't, I am trying, Trying! God is going deeper and Deeper in all of us that will let HIM. Shalom~
