Bubbles and the Wind

Seems with the warming temperatures, my ability to blog routinely goes up as well! We'll see how long both last here in Illinois.

We ventured outside as much as possible today! It was glorious! Windy as all get out and weather that would have us in parkas and snow boots come fall, but a wonderful spring day!

So...we played with chalk...we played with bubbles...we took walks in the wagon...we enjoyed the sun!

Where God spoke to me today....bubbles.

Things that didn't click last summer are clicking now. Why things work, how to blow bubbles...the important stuff of life!

Graham and I each had a large bubble wand and an equally large bottle of bubble soap. I soon realized that if I just held my wand up, the wind would create way more bubbles than my pathetic breathing. It could have been viewed as lazy, but I found it to be genius! Graham continued to blow his own bubbles though. So I nonchalantly told him if he would just let the wind do the work, the bubbles would come pouring out! No sooner had the words left my lips did I flash back to every sermon I've heard on the Holy Spirit and how it is the Breath of God. And again...the simple things? God spoke.

I'm the bubble wand...I'm made to create bubbles (I like to keep it all simple...stay with me). I need to be saturated in the bubble soap to have a chance at functioning. A bubble wand doesn't work with a dry bubble jar. So...I'm saturated in the soap, then I come out into the air and just let the wind show off everything I have just saturated myself in!

So...if it's too simple or I only make sense to myself, here's where I'm going:

I need to soak in the Word of God and when I'm pulled out and called upon to do my job, I better pray there is a strong wind or Breath of God blowing through me, directing my path.

I think back to the early church where the Holy Spirit descended upon them for the very first time.

If you have time...check out Acts for accounts of His mighty work through His Spirit.

Acts 2:4 - filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues (and 3000 were added to the church)

Acts 4:31 - they are filled with the Holy Spirit and they boldly speak the word of God

So...I may be a little bubble wand...but man you soak me in the right stuff and put the power of God behind me...look out bubble world!

Just another bubbly MOMent...
