the Healing... the Returning

A deep wound is not far out of sight from the Heavenly Healer.

In fact, as He knows your wound before you received it.

He gently beckons you to return to Him.

He gently draws near, answering His promise

To heal

And to be there when sorrows come...

This LOVE

Strengthens the joy root.

And in the midst of pain His LOVE is more than enough to see us through and change us "glory unto glory".

Praise be to the Kinsmen Redeemer, God Almighty the Shepherd King.

where is your home Sarah?

where is your greatest comfort?

where do you rest?

where do you get fed?

where is your greatest joy?

where do you get washed?

where do you gain understanding?

where is your family?

Home is where the heart is, my heart is in Christ. I am lost at sea until I am at home with God my Father.

...where is your home?

Wind shaking leaves on trees

Dried fire crunching beneath my feet...

Autumn performs the most beautiful music ♥

Swirled with earthbound fragrance of fall decay...

... My heart sinks into the sun heated soil with an over-delighted grin ♥

I M P A C T

Have you ever had something happen in your life in which your immediate response was something like: 'this changes my whole life, I'm going to live a completely different life now. . . da da da da duh da '

then three weeks later, you are even worse than before the 'life change'.

...

The 'three week' ending does not have to happen.

There are moments, crisis's, tragedies, being at the right place right time's... that stir up revelations in us that don't have to die, the passion may begin to fade, but it does not have to be forgotten nor lose it's significance.

We are all IMPACTED at some point in our life... and often more than once.

Where has the pressure from this IMPACT gone? It was pushing you before and now you feel left with nothing. Well... like a ball... pushed off a hill... it rolls pretty fast at the beginning however it slows down as the IMPACT of the push and the hill fades away. But the ball is still a ball and it's still meant to roll.

How do you keep rolling?

Take time to remember what pushed you off the hill in the first place. Remember the pain even if it hurts. Remember the tears. Remember why it's good now and was bad before. Remember the saving grace of Jesus that made you get on your knees to thank Him. Remember the tears that flowed the sleepless night, but waking up to a new morning. Remember, Remember, Remember the IMPACT.

I long to 'remember' ALL of what Christ did for me on the cross. I long to 'remember' the pain in His face, the crown on His head, the blood pouring down, the sound of the whips slashing His body, the look in His eyes still strong saying 'I love you, this is so I can live with you forever and ever'. Then to also remember the reality of His resurrection, life, a new body with no blemish, stain or bruise. Also, to know His promise, that He will return in glory, with the trumpets of angels and the light of His countenance.

The IMPACT of Jesus alone should send us rolling as if going down a steep hill forever. It is so gracious of Jesus to bless to us with personal IMPACTS that remind us of His promises and what He has done. Often I find personal IMPACTS through personal failure. The Merciful Lord however always comes and sweeps up my dirty mess and cleans me up and prepares me for more.

The time is NOW my family in Christ Jesus. Jesus is coming... how are you IMPACTING those around you?... Go roll into someone:D

Jesus has dedicated Himself to you... How do you dedicate yourself to Him?

less is more

God is at work...and as I put off more of myself...there will more of HIM. I desire this... less of me...MORE of Him.

God is at work in my life. and I am finding it strange to follow an unknown path.

I am unsure of His plans for me... except that they will be amazing.

I am unsure of myself and only sure of what I am in Christ. my only Constant.

I am unsure of any plans I could have ever made and am trying to rest assured that God knows the plan and even though I don't... goodness will be completed as God desires the goodness to be.

...

'Jesus loves me... this I know... for the Bible tells me so... ' this i know...by this i live... it's all i surely have forever...

praise the Lord... 'blessed assurance, Jesus is mine'.

America Is Sleeping

Wow America... it really is time to wake up... do you need ice water thrown at you? seriously. are you that blind. stop loving yourselves and see what's really going on in the world... in your neighborhood... right next door.

live to love, love to live

open your eyes
peel away the lid
you are shutting out the truth

open your mind
think outside the box
there is something more you can do

set your heart free
love the world not just yourself
people need you, even if you don't know it yet

move
move your hands
move your feet

go
go next door, your neighbor would love to receive love
go across the street he sits in his porch chair watching, waiting for you to come

there are people dying and you could be life
go be life to someone today
live to love
love to live
<3
