Marvelous Darling !
I wake up everyday and do my devotions and Bible study, then some praise and worship. I have prayed that my husband would lead that, I found by just asking he eagerly joined me. Yes, he fell thru some stairs and hurt himself later in the day but it was evident because of his mindset that everything will be alright. With a wedding less than 30 days away we should be anxious and worried about this injury, God tells us today has enough worry of its own and he will see us through.

your not my MOM...
If you are a step parent you have probably heard those words. I have a new friend, she is 5 years old and a bundle of Love. She oozes Love, she gives it and recieves it. I was struck by a conversation I had with her mommy as she shared her pain and failure. I realized that sometimes we reach out to help others which is all fine and good BUT we should never encourage the seperation of a mother and child, we should offer sound biblical advice. In trying to help are you harming another ? Have you over stepped your bounds ? Are you doing this for the pat on the back you give yourself for the wonderful person you are ? My new friend and I are going to the movies on tuesday and the last week of April we are going to the circus, tuesday we are going alone cuz her mommy has to work, but the circus NO WAY would I take this little princess to the circus for the first time without her mommy, that is a precious time that should be shared and I would never want to ruin that for another mom. There are many precious moments for mom's and Lord I pray I never hurt another mother by interferring with a mother and child relationship. Lord, Show me where I may be a help to others, keep me from sticking a sword into anothers heart. AMEN

kingdom people vs church people
In the belly of the big fish, saying no God no, spit out on a shore where we do not want to be, Am I in Ninevah Lord, I am not the one to teach the people their wicked ways. Like Jonah we can't live in the smelly, slimy belly of the big fish. Kingdom reality. (qoute that spoke to me) Sometimes christians get so wrapped up in the externals of religious observance that they forget the Gospel, the christian religion can become a trap, a lifeless collection of rituals and habits, if those practicing it lose sight of Christ. Unity in the church what does that mean to you ? Are we to be united only a couple times a year at special events, divided by denominations and rituals ? What does Gods word speak to your spirit ? I am A child of the king, I am not a catholic or a Lutheran or a baptist or any other denomination. I am a child of God, an heir to the throne, restored and renewed able to do anything God calls me to do. I feel led to not pray and worship as the heathen, to tear down the divisions and religions and all there false teaching. Set free not bound by the law of man. The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world did not teach us to be seperated by rules and power struggles , the whose the greatest among us crap...

The chain gang..
As I read a friends blog about her childhood home, I think of a small home not far from my own, it is my parents home where we had our 20 year family reunion and my oldest sister and all her family (she is a saint) 9 kids in all, came for the first time, the games we played, the smiles, the hugs, the tears and the memories. The home where my mom and dad were set free and saved and in the end had fallen in Love again, the Sunday dinners, holidays and b-days and the death. Both my parents died in that house and it is sacred ground for me. If I could I would buy it and stay there forever, just so I could have a glimpse of a family that used to be. There were arguments and misunderstandings as all families have but they are my family all the same. God can you ever restore this ? Is it possible ? Will it ever happen ? I have cried so many tears for the loss of the relationship with my siblings and yet I have never really asked God to restore and renew this family. So today right now In the Name of JESUS I ask for my family to be restored and renewed AMEN.

Shazam...
Ever wonder why things never change ? I am learning (slowly) that the things that remain the same that I would like changed are because I act and react the same. If I choose to look at myself and change me, my actions and reactions everything can have a differant outcome. If I choose kindness and patience, to show Love to those who do not deserve it and to forgive no matter how many times, I can change almost any situation. Silly how long it takes some of us to figure this out. Today I choose Love, to Love the unloveable, to be kind to those who use me or mistreat me and to forgive no matter the offense.
This has to be God in me, changing me. My mama taught me to beware of strangers but I welcome this stranger !!!!
The whisper: Proverbs 3: 13-26

Blow me Down ! Not a chance....
I will praise you in the storm, Jesus Messiah, Yahweh, and Lord prepare Me, what a way to start the day. May God Bless you and keep you, may his light shine upon you. Scripture - Alive and Active, Lord I thank you for filling me with your living word as it transforms and gives peace and power and comfort.
Standing on the promises of God. My hope is in you Lord. Your word is more powerful than any two edge sword. Asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And through him to reconcile to himself all things.. making peace by the blood of his cross. and you who once were alienated and hostile in mind.. he has now reconciled. Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in christ. See to it that no one takes you captive by philosphy and empty deceit. You who were dead in your trespass and flesh God made alive together with him. Therefore let no one pass judgement on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a sabbath. These are a shadow.. but the substance belongs to christ. If then you have been raised with christ seek the things that are above.

The Antenna
I get accused often of having a powerful antenna, for I know when things are not quite right. This is not ESP or an antenna, This is the Holy Spirit connecting with my spirit. It is very powerful and at times may freak out certain persons because I know things that there is no explanation for me to know. There are times when I am prompted to keep quiet about things revealed and there are times when I am prompted to speak. many times in anger or disappointment I may be led to keep quiet and I ignore that, finding that stalls God's plan and learning to be obedient get easier the more I LISTEN and react properly.
The Whisper Be Still and know that I am GOD !
Scripture: Ephesians 5:18
