Saturday,rested and talking with my voices

Good morning journal,the time is now 4:50am and I have been fully awake since 3:40am when Caesar woke me up to go out. I climbed back into bed at around 4:10am,only to be awakened again by Buttons at 4:25am when she felt the urge to go outside too. After she had come back in,she climbed on my side of the bed and I gave up any notion of further sleep,instead,I headed for the kitchen and made coffee,strong and thick,and I am now at my desk with Caesar in his normal vantage point on our sofa where he can watch over me in his usual protective manner. Yesterday was a quiet,and,for the most part,very pleasant day,I engaged in some bible reading on and off,and I find the new modern bible that my young friend in the street gave me immensely pleasurable and easy to understand. The translation into contemporary language has been done meticulously and well,keeping true to the original text but with a modern twist,making it as easy to read as a newspaper,and giving the reader,in this case me,just as much enjoyment. This morning,my voices are quite active,and since becoming fully awake,I have been engaged in conversation with all three of them,Jeremiah has said that this is the first step on the road that God has chosen for me,and he has also mentioned that I need to read a text called the apocrypha,it is a series of twelve books that are not included in most bibles,but I sense that it is to be very important for me to read because Jeremiah keeps saying  the word "Baruch",I know that I have an old bible somewhere that includes it,I just don't know exactly where it is,perhaps that will be my next chore,finding it,and trying to see where it fits in as regards my new journey with God. Ruth is smiling a lot today,and she seems very eager to help me learn more,chattering like an over excited schoolgirl,and hopping from one foot to the other repeatedly,she keeps saying,"it has begun,it is happening",I don't know what exactly "it" is,but it seems to please her greatly. Micah says that my ministry will be met at first with scorn and ridicule,but he also says that even Jesus was greeted with disbelief and sometimes real anger,being a Christian isn't easy,but in the end,people will listen,I just have to be strong enough to carry the message,and my experiences of it,to the people who are willing to listen,I am not a prophet or an angel,I am just a man with a message that I have been given to pass on to others,if it was good enough for Jesus and His disciples,it's good enough for me. There are a lot of people who know me that already think I'm delusional,yes,I hear voices that nobody else can hear,yes,I am mentally ill,that doesn't mean I'm crazy,it just means that I'm a little different from other people,but if my voices aren't real,then how do you explain what has happened to me over the past two days?,no,I can't explain it either,I only know that it happened just the way I said it did,and if it comes to listening to the professional people,doctors,psychiatrists etc:,or the doubters and disbelievers,and listening to Jeremiah,Ruth and Micah,and ultimately God,I know which side of the fence I'm going to be on,and you know what?,there's plenty of room left on my side,and your more than welcome to come and stand with me,God would love it,and so would I. Well journal,that's about all for now,until the next time then,may God look down upon us with favor,and may His everlasting love and peace go with us in the day ahead.

Jeremiah 36
4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord

Baruch was a scribe. In the times of Jeremiah, not everyone was able to write the words they heard. Baruch was the one Jeremiah called to write down what God had told him.

Ok, do you see the irony? God used Jeremiah to pass a message to His people. Jeremiah then used Baruch to write down what he had heard of God!!!

There is a search engine called \"Biblegateway.com\" where you can look up scripture in most any translation you might want. I found this reference in the Authorized King James version. Just a hint that might help you out.

So, you are to be the messenger God uses, through Jeremiah. GO AHEAD, GUY. I AM excited for you!!!
