RE - something

[my first attempt to design a scene with a quote but I don't REcall the program]

It was Microsoft Designer. No, I did not create the scene, but it looks like what 

I imagine for "Hind's Feet in High Places" by Hannah Hurnard and where I'd go

Since the end of 2025 and all the beginning of 2026 so far, I have not yet landed on a 2026 ONE WORD (which is really late for me). Yet I do seem to be RE-volving around many words that begin with RE - and usually as a prefix "re-" means again, however when I looked it up, I found the meaning to be: once more (similar to "again"), anew and afresh; {so I almost thought afresh might be my word just to get away from the RE- words, but no ... it isn't} - in return, and mutually. 

Afresh was close to the one that I'm almost sure was going to be the GREAT RE-velation for my 2026 One Word, especially when Roy Lessin of Meeting in the Meadow began 2026 with a Devotional Journey through the Psalms called: 

"Restore, Renew and Refresh in the Psalms"

Green Pastures. Quiet Waters. Righteous Paths.

{I almost put "Xs" in the place of those 3 RE- words because all 3, especially the final one were strong possibilities for my 2026}

This post, however, is not about announcing my 2026 ONE WORD, nor is it too share the abundance of all that I am gathering on the various possibilities but I definitely am on a RE-set for 2026 of my life journey and where I am headed, starting with the next 7 weeks, beginning on Monday, April 20th, 2026 ... and today, I decided that I will make those 7 weeks (at least for now & sorry, but once again, I'll be stepping away from here, there and everywhere) as I RE-cover and take time for myself with the Lord Jesus, in what I'm calling and claiming as a RE-treat (retreat): 

"... focusing on finding peace, TRUST (2025), and rest in Jesus ..."

"... by letting go of self- reliance."Faith Gateway OBS
"RELAXED"
[RE-laxed]

So just go with me on this premise of RE-

and LAX or Laxed being the root,

which means

"loose, not tight, or lacking strictness, care, or attention"

and know that I will be placing myself again 

in a place or time of care and attention

with somewhat loose, not tight or

lacking (maybe some) strictness

while I do my best at doing

this study but

RE-maining RE-laxed

on my so-called

RE-treat

meaning

treating myself again

to special time

with

JESUS

(more than any other

RE-strictions)

like completing to check off the day's study guide

or reading or just about anything

and with a deep breath daily or often

I might RE-gain a better composure of being

RE-LAXED

with

or

like

JESUS

right here

"REtreat is a purposeful, temporary withdrawal from daily routines to a secluded, safe, or peaceful place to focus on rejuvenation, reflection, personal development, or specific training." *As a verb, it also can mean "to withdraw from enemy's forces as a result of their superior power or after a defeat."

Although the verb form is usually for a military army, think of this spiritually, and emotionally insteadbecause most RETREATS are spiritual.
That's a whole lot of
RE's for me!
{... but I'm sure there are many more that have surfaced & I RE-jected} lol

RE-JOICE!
{this means that you get a break from me as well}
🙏🙏🙏
I did not look ahead to any dates for when 
I will
RE-TURN
but I'll be thinking of you too while we
REST & RECUPERATE
until 
WE
RE-CONNECT
God bless & hold you close!
REMEMBER
me
as God prompts you & pray
Thank you!
💙
The REsult I hope for:
 to be "fully present..." as D. Willard described: (in the Note from Megan Fate Marshman)"... trusting in God, the Father andnot driven by fear, anxiety or a need tofulfill other's expectations"
Jesus' Relaxed Demeanor:
CALMand purposeful, setting boundariestaking time for solitude
Living without a constant need to control outcomes!
"Are You Living the Relaxed Life of Jesus?"by Megan Fate Marshman
Hoping also to
RE-gain
strength and 
RE-plenish
my worn out & weary self
I'm in a constant place
of
RE-
but the best one began with
HIS
RESURRECTION
{did you know that "surrection" is a rare, specialized term
meaning: a rising, emergence, or upright movement?}

NOTE: I was not going to publish this until SONday, but I decided to publish now in case, you'd like to join the Faith Gateway OBS and register (with or without the book or study guide, although of course it would be best - at least the study guide, because then you always have access to the video teachings) just participating in the Video Sessions with Pastor Megan Fate Marshman will benefit you deeply and greatly - she's so RELAXED (lol)😉 and you get other freebies (I think) even the first chapter. 
Let's just RE-ignite your Holy Spirit power and RE-kindle the flame inside of you with Proverbs 3:5-6! Your heart will thank you and you'll be blessed!
