Doves

Over the last couple of days when I have come home, I have noticed that there is an abundance of doves in our front lawn. I'm talking like 6-10 at a time.....In my yard. Now, we, over the past couple of years, have had birds take up residence here, but mostly blue jays, red robbins, and sparrows. Occasional doves, but it's like in the past week or two they have just multiplied.

So last night the Lord spoke a passage to my husband about the season we are in. He happened to use the passage out of Acts when Paul got shipwrecked. There are alot of crazy places and seemingly useless trivia about the locations and the winds. But other than giving geographical locations, they also give a deeper meaning. He left Fair Haven and sailed by way ofCauda and ended his shipwrecked experience on Malta. So he sailed from someplace just "fair and ok" by way of a "lame" path and ended up in a place that was a "safe-haven."

It's good to know that when you are desiring change that the promise is to take you from somewhere that's just ok to a place that is a safe-haven. Even if the journey seems a little boring, you end up at a promised place. Praise God.

So in this season of asking God for confirmation, it is good to know that He is making our house a safe-haven. You see, dove season is open now and the dove consider our house a safe-haven. And more seem to be coming all the time. Amen.
