Until ~ A Vague Way

20180415_205923.jpg

Vague is the way

Yet it calls my name

Where will it lead

Honestly, I don’t know

One certain fact is true

If I stay, I’ll never see

Its changing effects

The way will make in me

Therefore I’ll say, “until”

Who knows how long It’ll be

When you’ll taste my lips and

Feel the warmth of my embrace

Fret Appeared As A Flick

Philippians 3:13-14 “I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back.” MSG

I received a phone call saying that one of my son’s is not doing well and is thinking of quitting his job for a lesser one.

Let me back up four months past.

My oldest son was involved in an automobile accident. He was rear ended by a van going at 60 mph totaling his car. He, his wife and two young son were in the car at the time. Thankfully, no one else was hurt, only him. After three months of recovery, he returned to work, but he’s not the same.

The neck injury is effecting one of his hand. He’s unable to hold on to things. As his mother, my heart broke again as I heard the news. This son has faced one challenge after another without much of a break. Some of those are of his own doing, but others came as magnets not releasing him until the lasting damages had taken its course, much like this one.

When I’m riding on God’s Eagles, His promises, like the verse in Philippians and receive heart tugging news of one of my children struggling, I want to land the eagle and ask my child to climb aboard.

But, I can’t.

I can only call and point to the Lord’s almighty eagle for them to climb on.

Before fret ignited full-blown worry in my soul, I pointed my son where the Holy Spirit led me. I couldn’t believe my eyes as read, Isaiah 4: 10.

“. . . I’ve picked you. I haven’t dropped you.’
Don’t panic. I’m with you.
    There’s no need to fear for I’m your God.
I’ll give you strength. I’ll help you.
    I’ll hold you steady, keep a firm grip on you.” msg

My hope is that my son climbed aboard.

Trusting my God gave no room for the flame of worry to crash me to the ground of uncertainty and disbelief. I continued to soar on my eagle. For, I must press on to the goal God has before me.

Without a doubt, I knew the Lord reached down to my son. All my son needed to do was to take His Lord’s hand and climb on His promise.

Holly Spirit minister to my son’s spirit as you have minister to mine. Help him to hear what God wants him to know. Direct his path along the side his Savior. Lord, strengthen his faith and belief in You.

God, please give my husband and I wisdom on how to advice our son, or not to speak, plus being the godly parents he needs at this time. Thank you, for all you are doing and will do for my son and his beautiful family.

May you find encouragement in God’s word and my story.

Sitting, I Wait For Patience

Here I sit waiting on patience.

Does she care to know time is slipping by?

I don’t think so for the clock’s hand drop with each clicking sound.

Yet, patience lingers at a place that can’t be found.

In my waiting, I meditate on the word of God. Then I hear what I didn’t want to know.

Patience whispered, “I can produce my fruit in you, but first prepare your heart.”

LET’S BE FRUITFUL TODAY
But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness, Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [that can bring a charge]. Galatians 5:22-23 AMPC
 ~
Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-control
 ~
We are a tree of multiple types of fruit, yet should we bloom all of these seeds at the same time? Every Day?
 ~
Well, for me, even though God has planted every  one of these seed in me, they don’t all fruition daily.
 ~
Honestly, there are days, that kindness blossoms before I even blink. While, I turn blue waiting for patience to hurry up and show a little bit of her self. As for self-control, I’ve noticed the older I become the less blooms I find.
 ~
With fruitless days end, I’ve learned to ask myself, is nutrition missing from the soil of my heart? Because, I know God planted all these seeds within me, I’ve seen them bloom on many other occasions in days gone by.
~
Another question I ask, has my soil been wet with Living Water lately? If not, the soil could be parch and the seed could die or be choked by weeds or blown away, if exposed by today’s storm.
~
If my soul is good and moist, then I ask, has the Light been shinning over my soil? My heart needs the provision of Holy nutrition. Otherwise, righteousness will not grow godly fruit within me.
 ~
Can I bear all these godly fruits every day? Yes, but not by my power alone. Daily, maybe even hourly, I must bring my heart to God. For it may need more soil, water and light. But it’s my job to pluck the weeds out for all good things to grow and produce fruitfulness.
~
Let’s be a sweet aroma in our world today. Let’s tend to our garden in our hearts, for these seeds to be planted, grown and bloom fruitfulness in our lives. Then, a godly seed can fall into another’s heart.
 ~
I’m so glad Patience whispered that my heart needed some plucking.
 ~
Come close to God, for He will come close to you. Just be ready to hear, what you need to know.
 ~
Come close to God and He will come close to you. [Recognize that you are] sinners, get your soiled hands clean; [realize that you have been disloyal] wavering individuals with divided interests, and purify your hearts [of your spiritual adultery]. James 4:8 AMPC

Grasp Time And Be A Spring Day

20180314_155558.jpg

BE A FRIEND WHO REFRESHES A SOUL LIKE A SPRING DAY
“Oil and perfume rejoice the heart; so does the sweetness of a friend’s counsel that comes from the heart.” Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)

Give a kind words, make time for a coffee date, lunch meeting, spontaneous gathering, phone hug, Facebook glimpse or a walk-talk fellowship, but most important send a prayer.

Without your refreshing moments in your friend’s life, their nights will be longer, rainy days much darker and their soul would be malnourished from the lack of girlfriend companionship.

Friendship times are not only food for the soul, but gold nuggets of encouragement which will be treasured for a life time.

By the way, words are not always necessary, but your involvement is.

Go ahead and grasp some time and be a spring day in a friend’s life.

A Child’s Curious Heart

My reality is placed on silence as I wonder about my grandson’s imagination

Can I go see my little house? 20180220_020413.jpg

I want to go inside.

20180220_020828-1.jpg

A choice I had to make, do I expose the truth or tell him a lie?

I chose to show him reality, but fed him a make belief world once I closed the door back on the bush.

“Grandson, this will always be your little house. You can enter within, when you sleep tonight. Once you see the door, go inside. In there is a home, which only you can dream.”

Not sure if he understood, but I do know, he doesn’t forget what I tell him. Maybe, when he sleeps my words will return and guide him to the little red door. Then, he can create his own story.

Suspicious Love

IMG_20180215_074814_090.jpg

FLOATING RINGS
°
Golden love
Never revealed
The rings of ice
My heart would
Feel from the one
Who loves me
By their darting
Icicle words
°
Dedicated this post to all dose who found the day of love, empty from broken promises.
°
Yet, know someone’s love never sends ice, cold darts and leaves you with broken promises, for His love for you is always abundant. God himself will take you in his loving arms and coo your hurting soul, every – single time.

Paths of Self Discovery

20180101_123558.jpg20180101_123511.jpg

Along the path you will discover that you too can flee away from danger. Listen and be aware.

IMG_20180115_215509_475.jpg20180101_123857.jpg

When one must turn back along the path take time to reflect. Keep the good and leave the bad.

Choices exist of where to walk on any path. Either choice brought you from and took you to the same place, the uniqueness of who you are.

Often the way is beyond me
Going on is a pull from glee
