Isaiah 60:1

Requests...Praises...

Bowing head...closing eyes...

Lord so many requests flood the mind...to petition and lift up to your mighty throne....

But first...

The spirit must praise. And praise you evermore...

You are the Great "I am".

The works of your hands are fearfully and wonderfully made...

You do organize, ordain, predestine the path...it is a choice...

Your hands and feet extend in time of need...you carry...

Your children do use given talents and gifts...you encourage...

Your blue skies...you bring peace...

Your green pastures...you bring the calm...

Divine Intervention...all in your timing...

Building new relationships for your glory...

Building tighter relationships of old...to strengthen...to fulfill your purpose

Rain...that cleanses...

Mercy and Grace...your increase and salvation that none shall perish...

Healing of soul...so we may focus on the eternal prize...

Forgiveness of failing flesh...that we may except your Son who for us died on the cross...

He rose...Seated at the right hand of you the Father...

Filling of vessel...that your image may shine forth...

Yes, many request Lord flood the mind...

must bow knees, humble this flesh, and pour out soul...

but first...soul must praise...fill with your spirit...

to praise...and praise you forevermore.

Exd 15:2

The LORD [is] my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; He [is] my God, and I will praise Him; My father's God, and I will exalt Him.

No words...but yet words...

Heart hurts...

soul aches...

burden carried heavy...

tears roll down...

to comfort loved one. to offer love, love from Father of His woven... oh to comfort but yet have no words from far away. Is the love felt? Is the hugs holding her up? Does she know tears have fallen and prayers haven risen? Is His words sent going into heart for strength, for wisdom, for peace?

All I offer is words of love, words of encouragement, "my word" that I will pray, in the end all I have to offer is what I have, and that is not much, but its what I have and it is His word not my own...for my own can not comfort alone, my own can not bring peace, my own can not bring strength, my own...words...all I have.

May the trial bring growth. May the battle build strength. May the weakness bring Him who holds. May the peace fly in like a dove. May she always know she is loved.

yes, heart hurts...but He heals and delivers

yes, soul aches...but spirit not broken but renewed

yes, burden carried heavy...but His yoke is light

Yet in the trial I will and I must.......within spirit not flesh...

I will praise Him evermore. I will praise Him, for I go to His throne in prayer on her behalf. I will praise Him for the victory already won. I will praise Him for all that He is doing, will do, and has done. I will praise Him who heals the broken hearted, I will praise Him who carries and strengthens the weak, I will praise Him who will work all things together for good to them that love Him, to them who are called according to His purpose. I will praise Him who will measures out Faith. I will praise Him who will give grace and mercy. I will praise Him evermore.

No words...no...words...just trust...in Him

comfort...hugs, prayers and love...to comfort

my words...no, not my own, no not words...

but yet words, yes, His own, yes, His words...

Psalm 37:39-40

But the salvation of the righteous [is] of the LORD: [he is] their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Soaring...

Butterflies...Dragonflies...

She watches and waits.

Looks on in hopes that she can catch, hold and observe living creature. The time comes and as she swoops the net, one is caught. The challenge: to lift out net without hurting or killing. It is in her grasp, she has done well, the beauty is in her hand. Placing it into the butterfly house, she and siblings name each one according to their personalities, characteristics, color and behavior. The majestic will be studied for a while, fed nectar and given water...hand-drawn on papers, and imprinted in minds...then...set free...grasping fragile body...the amazing part...majestic beauty sits on finger still and staring, imagine...holding beauty and looking right into the eyes with amazing glare, body with amazing and beautiful color...memorized by stillness and beauty, in awe of moment...running with hand held high begins so wings will take flight...finally all watch as soaring begins...the best part...the smile! the gleam! the fullness of joy seen in the eyes of God's children as created meets created.

Imagine: Created weaves creation in womb, in the palm of His hand, growing, nurturing, sustaining life. Given individual personalities, characteristics, color, behavior, even gifts and talents. He has done well. Majesty creates the majestic children. He loves, provides food, water, needs and even wants by His grace. Then opening womb, he lets go...and we are free. World sees beauty, He sees life, sees His plan for His glory. As we come to know Him and kneel on bended knee, acknowledge His Son as Saviour...we are re-born once again set free...set free from bondage...imagine...awe of created meets Creator...running with hands held high in praise we take flight and soar! He watches and looks on...the best part...the smile, the gleam, the fullness of joy in Lord. Built for His glory, built for His pleasure, built to be His hands and feet...

He watches and waits...looks on in hopes of a chosen life spent with Him...

She watches and waits..looks on in hopes of holding onto majesty...

She soars...

"Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong." 1 Cr 16:13

Lift thine eyes...and think about such things...

In sickness, in health, in rich, in poor...battle is back and forth, up and down, the hours long, the days all too short, fighting on many fronts, physically, emotionally, spiritually these past 6 months...yet good lessons, good memories, much growth and oh my the taste, the sound, the smell, the touch of the Lord through soul mate, children, fellow brethren, family, friends, even acquaintances...oh how the prince ruler of this world would love nothing more than the focus to be on anything and everything but Jesus, the cross, His grace that is sufficient in and of itself, as well as the many blessings seen and unseen.

Arise my love, the grave no longer has a hold on you...isn't that how the song goes?

Arise!

(qum):to stand up, an intensive mood to signify empowering or strengthening, to engage in battle.

(maqom): place, height, stature, standing

Yea, while some stand by and complacently scoff it all off and manipulate for their betterment to see the hurt and wounded coming back for more, fleshly more...the Spirit within says Arise, praise the Holy One, the Holy Lamb, the Son of the giver of life...breath in, breath out, listen as the heartbeat maintains within...keeping this broken vessel alive for a day, days numbered by Him...and all for His glory. As he suffered so shall we, yet He is there, holding, strengthening, healing, whispering I love you, my grace is sufficient, arise my love, remain steadfast, run the race, cry out on bended knee in humility and I will restore, I will restore from "inside" out.

Now see and taste what is good.

"turn my eyes away from worthless things, preserve my life according to your word"...another song!

Look up, look in, lift thine eyes, take every thought captive, let the word hidden your heart take heed and become alive. No pity, no shame, no condemnation, yes ailments, struggles, strive...but all for the battle of souls and testimonies. Bigger than just circumstances in sickness, in health, in rich, in poor. Wicked desires the focus off of Holy One, no fear for he does not rule in the end, for the "I Am" has already defeated him, but his mission: to keep souls from the Lord, from the heavenly realms, from the glorious worship of the Lord, from what is pure, what is right, what is praise worthy. Children of the Lord, the battle is real, this tis true, Praise the Lord for He has already Won.

My eyes reading "Life", my ears listening to His whispers, my hands held high in praise, my feet walking His path for me, my soul heavenward, heart wounded yet at peace, seeking Him and His ways.

He is healing His child.

He is growing His child.

He is supplying life to His child.

He will restore His child.

As words flow across page children singing and signing in praise, thankful hearts to Thee....tears of pure peace run down face, as once again a glimpse He shows of His character, promise and work in all.

In sickness, in health, in poor, in rich...yet many lessons along experience, much growth in all, many quiet little moments that would take up pages and pages, all sunk to memory, sweet joy, sweet peace even in the trial...yes the healing is for all, faith: the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Praise to Thee.

He continues to whisper: one simple act is required from this vessel: Look unto Thee.

Lift thine eyes...and think about such things...

"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy..meditate on these things"...Phil 4:8

Love of Learning...

Love of Learning...ponder the meaning(s):

Love: (agapao): to love in a social or moral sense...(agape): affection or benevolence

(to love in such a way to express the essential nature of God)

Learn: (manthano), (matheo), in certain tenses: to learn(in any way), understand.

To develop, ah, to learn to love learning, to instill in children, ah, even in ourselves, to know how to find that which is desired to obtain, driven to be inquisitive to press forward unto wild adventures, each road leading to each journey, leading to each path, leading to endless possibilities, successes, disappointments(expectations)...leading to knowledge and understanding...earthly or heavenward? simply a matter of choice...in the end all leads to His glory...His purpose...His plan...and Oh My...His words...

"Well done, good and faithful servant."

______________________________________________

Philosophy of life learning...pass unto children. Know Gods love, which was exemplified by His very own Son dieing on the cross, and rose again. To love the Lord thy God with all heart, soul, strength. To be saturated with the infallible word of God. Remain steadfast, immovable to find answers being sought. To experience life as a journey of learning always to the end of earthly days. Seek eternities crowns not earthly tantalizing sights and sounds. Know Lord has equipped and set before each a race, a path, a road, a journey, a 'learned' life, a love. To love learning. To love and be loved.

The question:

Whom or what to love? Whom to seek to worship?

Whom to teach? Whom to be taught?

Ah, to explore the endless opportunities of a life of learning, a life of loving to learn.

We must first love:

God spoke:Love the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.

God is love, God within...love within....must seek to love the One who gives freely, seek to know Him, to know His love, to show his love. As we love, the Lord will guide desires, give wisdom, give provision. First teacher, Lord and Saviour...filled to full by His word which is written upon our hearts.

Lord teach. His children learn.

Learning well this will be a "life" adventure, never ending, never ceasing, each to its own sight, own sound, own taste, own smell, own person.

Love of learning? Understanding. Yes Lord!

Life of learning?! Knowledge. AMEN Lord.

Love a life of learning...love to learn...live to learn...learn to live...

As it is written:

"All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children."

Peace and Grace He giveth freely...

Peace within each soul I pray is obtained...Forever and always...

Written in the Clouds

Beautiful road traveled. Mesmerized by His creations, left unto itself would take over what man destroys..."See momma...the bear, bear with his eyes closed!" Pull out of zone and ask, "What, Where, Where do you see a bear?"...I ponder, wonder, look at surroundings. Her reply, "In the clouds, see there, his eyes are closed, paw in front of face." "Oh, yes, yes I see, how cool is that!" Almost there, to worship, to listen, to learn, to change, and to fellowship...but I can't help wonder...and ask?...age comes, I find so comes the lose of innocence, loss of imagination, loss of child-like faith...the prince ruler of this world will putrefy, destroy, desensitize all to believe lies, we become stricken with grief, anger, greed, pity, covetousness and the like...must remain whole, wholesome, holy living sacrifice unto Thee. Oh, what goes in, must come out...her sweetness confirms...put Lord and His word in and that is what will come out...oh yes we all are born into sin, but age brings the stronger battle, to repent, to submit, to surrender unto Thee...pulling up now...thoughts running, but in awe of innocent imagination...one word...captivating. The wonder of the clouds that loom around, above. Age sees gloom, something that hovers, child-like faith sees beauty, sees Life...ponder while walking in, must thank the Lord for His blessings...His children...the clouds...the wondrous of works of Him, bringing forth rain to water crops, to feed, to cleanse...oh the cleansing...it is but a moment now, only marked by memory and this, the black and white to mark time which can not be stopped. worship, growth, fellowship back on the beautiful road traveled...sweet child-like worship...tears run down face, glimpse of Jesus and His sweet children singing unto Thee...true worship, true innocence, the beauty...pray that is not lost and He will use to bring Him glory...song through radio...cinderella...dad stops time while he can, she pulls at his heart, he responds, answers question from child to stop world and dance, dance for memories...tears run down my face and he holds my hand...not a word, just a hand...unspoken we both know time will not stop, we have to stop for time...sweet voices, sweet time, sweet smiles and sweet rhyme, awe the memories on this beautiful road traveled...the bear...we may never know why his eyes were closed, only that he was seen...confirming... innocence written in the clouds. so much more...for now...pause...dance...see what might be written in the clouds. Job 35:5
