A New Season; A New Era

-
  Hello, dear readers, it has been a while since I posted here. So much has happened in my life since I last had something to share with you. I have published a book, which is a compilation of many of these posts and other writings the Lord has given me. Through trial and error, I think I have come up on the right side of my purpose. I will say I have matured, although I have not graduated yet! No, I take that back! I did have a graduation from some of the old ways of thinking and doing. It is so rewarding to know that I don’t have to walk alone on the path of life, shrouded in mystery and secrecy, God is with me every step of the way. I realized that Father sent the Holy Spirit to be a Helper for me, and not an overseer. He never wanted to take control, but to partner with me. He is counselor, intercessor, friend, and much more. His I-Am-ness is whatever I need Him to be in my life, and my yielded-ness is to trust Him to show me better ways to be me. Back in 2018 I published...

The Love of God

-
John 3:16 Ampl. For God so greatly loved  and  dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes on (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. We have heard and probably read this scripture since our childhood. We have heard it at home, in Sunday school, and in songs and many other forms.  Even non-Christians know John 3:16. What in reality does this passage of scripture mean?  What does John 3:16 mean to you and me personally? It is a powerful and astonishing revelation that God sent Jesus to die for the sin of the world.  Praise God! It is remarkable that, according to Romans 8:1, Therefore, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus,  who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit.   It is truly wonderful to know t...

What’s Under the Hood?

-
What’s Under the Hood? After an especially wet spring one year, the muddy condition of our dirt road made it nearly impossible to navigate and our little 4-cylinder Pontiac was not up to the task. I declared in frustration after almost two weeks of being housebound, “I want a Jeep!” Noted; my husband bought my first Jeep in 1994. To say I enjoyed driving the vehicle would be an understatement. And for several years I had the pleasure of sitting high and traversing whatever roads came my way. When it was time to trade in my beloved Jeep my husband insisted on purchasing an 8-cylinder vehicle. Not knowing anything about cars I protested vigorously because I did not want a different SUV. He prevailed and gave me the keys to a beautiful, new 1996 Black Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (Gold Package).  I had to admit it was impressive. I guess I was just into the aesthetics and had no idea what was under the hood. I soon discovered why he wanted this size engine. One day as I was me...

Leave the Panic Room

-
There was a movie that came out in 2002, called The Panic Room, starring Jodie Foster, and the story line is about a woman and her daughter experiencing a home invasion, and how they retreated to a panic room in their home for protection. We have seen horrific headlines about home invasions that resulted in devastating tragedies.  One could wonder if a panic room could have prevented some of those disastrous results? A panic room, in real life, is a secure place to retreat to in time of a real or perceived imminent threat. It is a fortified space, constructed to withstand extreme force. Storms, like hurricanes, tornadoes would be a reason to construct a panic room. There are other dangers one might want to escape, like biological, or atomic attacks and, home invasions. These spaces are designed to accommodate the occupant/occupants for an extended period of time with food, air, communication, and what ever other life preserving resources necessary while keeping them safe from ha...

The Metron

-
  The word metron is a  term defining measurement. According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary it means:  the minimal unit of measure in classical Greek verse constituting in certain meters (as the iambic, trochaic, anapestic, and the lyric forms of dactylic) a syzygy of two feet, in others (as hexameters of epic verse) a dipody and where necessary for analysis in the case of spondaic series a single foot, and in compound meters (as the ionic and choriambic) a foot of four syllables ( https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/metron)  In scripture  it refers to authority.  The prophet Samuel had authority. I Sam 3:19 tells us that God did not allow any of Samuel's words fall to the ground. His authority range encompassed  prophet, priest, and judge. Saul was given authority by God to be king. In 1 Sam 13 Saul stepped out of his authority as king and took upon himself Samuel's role as priest. (Samuel's metron) It cost him the kingdom.  God tore the ...

Our Never Ending Celebration

-
It has been so long since I had something exciting to write to you my friends, but as we approach Christmas day my heart is filled with the joy and excitement of the reality of the plan of redemption conceived in the heart of God and covenanted between God and Jesus.  An everlasting covenant. God's plan was so ingenious that none of the principalities and rulers knew or they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory (I Cor 2:8)  Who would expect Almighty God to descend from heaven as a Seed and impregnate a young virgin? Who would think to look for Him in an animal stall, lying in a manger, wrapped in swaddling cloths?  Who would anticipate His birth to be among the lowly,announced to shepherds in the field? No one! God confounds the wise with what seems foolish to man, but it is the Wisdom of God. That starry night, the Hosts of Green Berets, and Navy Seals of heaven with the Heavenly Knighthood came to declare that the Christ, the Commander in Chief, was born ...
