God, last night
this amazing feeling
of
FREEDOM
came over me
What's up?

I
DECLARE TO YOU
CHILD
THAT IT IS NOW
"SATURDAY"
IN THE
KINGDOM FOR YOU
YOUR WORK WEEK
HAS ENDED
5 YEARS OF LABOR
AND NOW
MY GOOD FRIEND
IT IS TIME TO
PLAY

Can You sense
that I am ready for this?
I remember as a kid
Saturday was the BEST day of the week
The very BEST!
I would play with friends
and ride my bike for hours
It was a day of FREEDOM
It was the day
that I looked forward to all week
Sorry, God
I never got into Sundays
I had to go to church
and it was a place where
I tried to look good
for everyone and for You
It never quite worked
but hey
it only lasted one hour
in those days
BUT SATURDAY
OH BABY - I LOVE SATURDAY!

IT IS ALSO
THE "DAY" OF LOVE

uh oh

God, I've decided
to just "hang"
with those under 12
if that's OK with You
I love to see the purity
in little kids' eyes
It's almost impossible to find it
with adults
They are often so hardened
or so full of ______
that you can never know them

TERAH
I WILL SEND YOU
WHO I CHOOSE
AND YOU WILL SEE THEM
AS CHILDREN

Tricky, God
I guess I'll have to go along
with Your Plan
You have given me
SATURDAY
AND I AM ECSTATIC!

YO, CHILD
I WANT YOU TO PLAY FREELY
IN THE KINGDOM
LET NO ONE
TELL YOU HOW YOU SHOULD ACT
LET NO ONE
DICTATE TO YOU
THEIR VERSION OF THE WORD
LET NO ONE
STEAL YOUR PASSION FOR ME
LET NO ONE
SLOW YOU DOWN
LET NO ONE
CAUSE YOU TO ANGER
FOR THE
VICTORY
IS
MINE AND YOURS

God, this is really beyond compare
Your gift of SATURDAY
Thanks, my Friend!

BUT
KNOW THAT SOON
SUNDAY IS COMING
IN ALL
ITS GLORY
IT WILL NOT BE
AS IT WAS
WHEN
YOU WERE A CHILD
IT
WILL SURELY BE
A DAY OF RESURRECTION
A DAY OF POWER RELEASED
A DAY OF MY SOVEREIGN RULE
A DAY
WHEN
I ADVANCE
THROUGH MY ARMY
THROUGH
SIGNS, WONDERS AND MIRACLES
IT WILL BE
MIGHTILY AWESOME
NOTHING
LIKE CHURCH
OF THE PAST
OR OF
THIS DAY
NOTHING
LIKE IT

I hope its just like
YOU

AND
IT WILL BE

NOT
WATERED-DOWN
TO BE
UNDERSTOOD
BY
MORTAL MAN
BUT
FULLY AND COMPLETELY
MY "SHOW"
IT IS TIME
FOR MAN
TO BECOME
SUPERNATURAL
AND
NOT CONFINED
TO THE
TREE OF KNOWLEDGE
THEY
CAN ONLY
COME ALIVE
IF
THEY EAT
FROM
THE TREE OF LIFE
ME

It will be GLORIOUS!

Can I go out and PLAY now?

GO, BABY, GO!

What about
the picketing on Sunday?

WAIT
UNTIL SUNDAY MORNING
THERE WILL BE A SURPRISE
IT WILL SURELY
NOT BE
WORK FOR YOU
I PROMISE

YAHOO, GOD
LET'S GO PLAY!


And to this end I will speak:
I am tired of the work and the writing
I am tired of the praying
and the labor on others' behalf
I am tired of waiting
I am tired of being tired
I'm ready to PLAY
but I want to PLAY
somewhere else

I KNOW
HOW YOU FEEL
WHAT IS IT
THAT YOU REALLY
WANT TO DO?

I want to move away
and start someplace fresh and new
I want to make real friends
lots of them
There is only one friend here
who has stuck with me through it all
I want to have an address book again
I want to begin again
I do love Oregon
but there is no place
for me here
I have burned all my bridges
There is nothing
to keep me here
but the beach and the mountains
I know all the plans
that You spoke of for here
but I believe that it could be done
elsewhere
just as easily
What do You say, Friend?

GIVE ME
JUST 30 DAYS
AND THEN WE WILL TALK
ON THIS AGAIN
OK?

yep
You're the BOSS!
No writing until then?

WE'LL SEE
I WILL MAKE NO PROMISES
ON THAT ONE
BUT YOU
WON'T WRITE AS MUCH
OR AS OFTEN

Well . . . You know what, God?
I don't think anyone has even followed us
through all the links
anyway

ONLY
WHO I WANT TO

Let that be Your secret

TERAH
THERE IS NOTHING
THAT YOU CAN SAY
THAT WILL CAUSE ME
TO STOP YOUR WRITING
WHEN I DEEM IT
NECESSARY

That's what I was afraid of

NO DEALS
ON THIS ONE

That's what I was also afraid of

WHY
ARE YOU STILL TRYING?

I'm not sure

TERAH
TRUST ME
WITH YOUR FUTURE
THERE IS A REASON FOR YOU
TO BE IN OREGON
EVEN BEFORE YOU COULD
HEAR MY VOICE VERY CLEARLY
I SPOKE TO YOU
THAT YOU WERE TO MOVE
TO BEAVERTON, OREGON
THREE YEARS LATER
YOU ARRIVED
AND IT HAS BEEN
SEVEN YEARS
SINCE THEN
THERE IS A REASON
FOR YOU TO BE HERE
GIVE ME 30 DAYS
AND I WILL PROVE IT TO YOU
BEYOND A DOUBT

YOU'RE TAPPING THE KEYS

I am still unsettled

DO YOU
THINK THAT
YOU COULD LEAVE
THIS DAY?

It's a thought and I would if
I wasn't under
an oath of obedience

TERAH
WOULD A HUG
DO THIS NIGHT?

It's worth a try . . .
I know what it is!!!
I want to be where I am wanted!
THAT'S IT!
You and I
have done such a great job
with my reputation here
that I don't think
I will ever be "wanted" here

AND WHAT
IS THE VERSE
THAT I GAVE YOU
CONCERNING
THE YOUTH GROUP?

Isaiah 16
"Take counsel,
execute judgment;
Make your shadow like the night
in the middle of the day;
HIDE THE OUTCASTS,
Do not betray him who escapes.
Let My OUTCASTS dwell with you . . .
Be a shelter to them
from the face of the spoiler."

YOU
WOULD STILL
FEEL LIKE AN OUTCAST
WHEREVER
YOU WENT
FOR THAT
IS YOUR CALLING
TO BE
AN OUTCAST
AND
SHELTER
THE
OTHER OUTCASTS
DO
YOU UNDERSTAND?

Too well
OK
Meet You back here
in 30 days

OR SOONER . . .


PS- I do love You!
