A love note to us from the King

My dearest and most favored one,
I love you.
I always have.
It's not because of anything you do for me.
So you don't need to work at being better at anything to earn my affections.
I love you just because you are who I created.
So beautiful. So Wonderful. So creative. So YOU.
I so enjoy walking along side of you each day and watching over you as you sleep at night.
I look so forward to hearing from you every day.
I love you. I would do anything for you my beloved.
Not one moment in time escapes, without a thought of you on my mind.
You mean the world to me.
I love you more than my life itself.
I just HAD to tell you again in this love note.
I can hardly wait to hear from you again....
All my love now and forever,
Yeshua

A Word from the Lord

In light of everything that is going on right now.
I thought I would share this Word I received from the LORD some 22 years ago. 
I felt it quite appropriate.

A greater calling.

Find your calling in MY heart.

Seek me above all else. Desire my deepest love.

Give all you have for what I am.

I have made you who you are.

For my purpose and for my pleasure you were created.

Come before me and share my love.

Know me.

Give room to my spirit. Let me in your deepest place.

Lift up your voice as you seek my face.

Walk with me. Talk with me. Sing your sweet love songs to me.

Forsake not your first love, for it pleases me and touches my heart.

This is why I have created you; Above all else and before anything more.

In this you will find the answers that you seek. Do not look in vain to man’s answers.

The answer is in me.

It's a Good Thing

                                                                                

It's a Good Thing

It’s a good thing I serve a good God who is faithful and true to his word.

It’s a good thing I know him well and he loves me.

As I have no one else who is faithful. 

No one else who loves me. 

No one in whose word I can trust.

I have no one else who I can turn to in times of trouble.

It is truly a good thing. 

Yes it is.

I have a husband. 

I have children. 

I have friends, sisters and brothers.

To what end?

They have all been unfaithful. 

They have all shown they are mortal. Capable of betrayal and lies.

A husband can be a curse. A child your deepest wound.

Your dearest friend no where near when it happens.

My God? 

My ever faithful and always loving God? 

He, has never failed me.

He has brought peace to my weary soul, refuge in time of storm.

He has strengthened my feeble bones.

He has put a new song in my heart!

  

Praise be to God Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth!

Praise be to His Glorious Name!

Praise Him for His Wonderful Works! 

Praise Him for His Beautiful Creations!

Give Thanks to the Lord for he IS good! 

His Overwhelming-Overshadowing Love Endures Forever!

Halleluia!!! Halleluia!!! Halleluia!!! Amen!!!

  

Praise the Lord Oh MY Soul! 

Give Glory to God oh My Soul and Praise Him!

Be Joyful and FULL of Thanksgiving Self!

You ARE Beautiful in HIS sight! 

Surely the apple of his eye and the brightness of his creation!

Shine before all men that they may see his “SONshine in you!

 Give Glory to God!

Give glory to your GOOD God today!

SHINE! For your light has come! Shine!

  

Haleluia! Shine!

Halleluia! Shine!

Halleluia!!! Shine!

Amen!!!!

5 Days Alone With God and......

I want more.
Okay, it's been awhile, actually far too long, since I have had some extended alone time with the Lord. We are talking days alone, with the Lord. No one else around. No phone. No t.v. No traffic. No nuffin. Just me and best friend.

These are a couple snippets of my journal from my week away in the smokies. A time I will always cherish and never forget. My five days alone with God.

Lord - You Captivated Me

Captivated
Taken hostage by your love
I’m captivated
Nothing can keep me from your love

Captivated

Dreams forever coming true
You have captivated me
Now I’m in love with you



Set free ~My LORD has set me free!
He's paid the price for my sin
Breathed His Breath of life within.
Now my chains are gone and I am free!
Taken hostage by your love
I am captivated

Nothing can separate me from such love
No power in the sky or on the earth below
Nothing can ever keep me from this supernatural love I know.

I have been captivated

Together me and you
My desire is yours too

Captivated
You have captivated me
My heart will always be yours 
You've captivated me
with your love

Oh How I remember those five days alone in the mountains with the lover of my soul!


Oh how I could use another five days alone with Him now!

Such beauty...just even in the quiet of the very stillness of the mountain top.

Such a Holy hush....seemed to flood the cabin like a wave of invisible down, only softer, warmer; as the fog rolled in and covered the entire mountain top. Leaving zero visability for hours in the morning only to roll away hours later to unveil the breath taking beauty of the ever greens along the mountain side. An occasional eagle, high in the air swooping down to catch a meal. A rustle in the hillside, surely a fox or some small wondrous creature scurrying about for nuts they had buried long ago.

Ahhhhh......an the voice....the strong, beautiful......quiet.....small....still....voice......of the Master.

I long for yet another day when He will call for me to come away with Him, alone yet again.

Alone with God

Alone with God

Quaking, shaking, crying

On my face

Holy, holy, holy

Nothing else

Only holy, only holy

Nothing else

Only holy, only holy

Sudden hush of glory

Peace, quiet, stillness,

On my face

Holy, holy, holy

Nothing else

Only holy, only holy

Nothing else

Only holy, only holy

Voice of God speaks

Small, quiet, mighty

Enters my soul

Heals, delivers, instructs

Heaven comes down

Humbled, thankful, jubilant

Angelic voices singing

Holy, holy, holy

Nothing else

Only holy, only holy

Nothing else

Only holy, only holy

I join in

On my face

Sing

Holy, holy, holy

Nothing else

Only holy, only holy

Nothing else

Only holy, only holy

Alone with God

Complete Surrender

 "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
         My ears You have opened.
         Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.
  Then I said,

 “Behold, I come;
         In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
  I delight to do Your will, O my God,

         And Your law is within my heart.”

Complete surrender

Total death to myself

Nothing left to live for

Except that which you have died for

Come take me as I am

Make me what you will

Burn me up with Holy fire

Every bit of sin and mire

Purify this vessel Lord

Made of silver and gold

Fill my veins with Holy blood

Yeshua’s shed for me

Take me Lord

Make me Lord

All I am meant to be

Nothing less for you

Than that I was meant to be

Now Lord…show me how

I need you to do it

See me through it

I give you all I am

The Art of Manliness

This is a re-share from a Blog THE ART of MANLINESS

"How To Give Flowers Like a Victorian Gentleman" 

I thought it excellent enough to share on MY BLOG! 

I hope you enjoy it as well and maybe even get a little "romance" out of it!

How to Give Flowers Like a Victorian Gentleman

Women often complain that the men in their lives are not romantic enough. But men sometimes have trouble expressing their feelings, often resorting to cheesy Hallmark cards or pricey bejeweled baubles to do the job for them. But there is a far better way to be romantic and it doesn’t involve spending a fortune or even opening your mouth.

In the days before courting consisted of hanging out and getting drinks, courting was a formal and dignified endeavor. Symbols were used to express feelings and thoughts deemed too special for mere words. During the Victorian Era, a whole romantic language developed around the giving and receiving of flowers. Everything from the type and size of the flower to the way it was held or presented conveyed layers of meaning and communicated a gentleman’s feelings and intentions. Each bouquet contained a secret message for a lady to eagerly interpret and endlessly dissect.

These days giving flowers has become a somewhat ho-hum cliché. Resurrecting this Victorian tradition will infuse the gesture with new life and romance and bring back some of the subtly, mystery, and fun of courtship. Your lady will swoon that you put far more thought into your selection of flowers than grabbing a bouquet out of the case at Wal-Mart. You’ll come off as a real gentleman and a hopeless romantic. It can become an amazing tradition you’ll both enjoy. Seriously. Women eat this stuff up.

Of course, even women nowadays have forgotten the meanings of flowers. So buy your lady a flower dictionary like this one. And keep a copy for yourself (it’s important that you both use the same reference, as the meanings were never set in stone and can sometimes vary from book to book). Then, each time you present her with a bouquet, she can search the volume to find what secret messages you have embedded in the flowers.

There are even bouquets that convey rejection or unrequited love, but having your soon-to-be former flame eagerly search through a book only to find out she’s been dumped is just plain cruel.

Here’s a partial list of flowers’ meanings to help you get started. Follow them, and you’ll be reviving throngs of women with smelling salts as they swoon for you.

Carnation- Fascination

Chrysanthemum- Friendship

Daisy- Loyal love

Orchid- Love and beauty

Lily- Purity and sweetness

Red rose- Romantic love

Pink rose- Secret love

Yellow rose- Friendship

White rose- Innocent love

Rose, Yellow & Orange -Passionate thoughts

Forget-me-not- True love

Baby’s Breath - Happiness

Lilac, Mauve - “Do You Still Love Me”

Honeysuckle – The Bond of Love

Ambrosia - Your Love is reciprocated

Camellia, red: You’re a flame in my heart

Camellia, white - You’re adorable

Forget-me-not - Faithful Love, Memories

Hibiscus -Delicate Beauty

Hyacinth, purple- I am sorry, Please forgive me, Sorrow

Oleander - Beauty and Grace

Periwinkle, White - Pleasures of Memory

When to Give Flowers

Once you are versed in the language of flowers, you’ll be able to create bouquets that will add meaning and significance to any occasion. Here are some times when you’ll definitely want to warm your true love’s heart with flowers:

Her Birthday. It’s her day. Make it extra special by buying her a bouquet of flowers. It doesn’t have to be to elaborate.

Your Anniversary. Women associate flowers with weddings. You can’t go wrong with buying your wife a bouquet of the same type of flowers you had at your wedding. The very sight of them will create a wave of warm and fuzzy memories. And the fact that you remembered the right flower will send her heart aflutter and score you major romance points.

Valentine’s Day. My wife and I have this shtick. Every year she tells me she doesn’t want anything for Valentine’s Day. And like a sucker, every year I don’t get her anything. Come Valentine’s Day, I have an unhappy wife on my hands. I’ve finally learned my lesson. When women say they don’t want anything for Valentine’s Day, it’s actually a secret code. Buy her flowers. You’ll be glad you did.

New Baby/Mother’s Day Your wife just went through 9 months of pain and discomfort to bring forth your progeny. The least you can do is buy her some flowers. Plus, flowers are completely appropriate for a new birth. Flowers represent new life and you’ll be cradling new life in your arms. Later on, show your wife your appreciation for all the work she puts into mothering by buying flowers each Mother’s Day. (Note: Flowers aren’t sufficient by themselves for Mom’s Day. Mothering is hard work. She deserves something extra too.)

Get Well. If the woman in your life is sick, nothing will brighten her days and cheer her heart like flowers from the man she loves.

Saying I’m Sorry. You screwed up and now you’re in the dog house. If you want to stop sleeping on the couch, bring flowers along with an apology. The extra effort may show the lady in your life that you’re really sorry. But make that apology sincere. A bunch of flowers with only a weak or non-existent apology will backfire; your woman doesn’t want to be bought off with cheap gestures. Note: Don’t bother with flowers if you’ve been caught cheating. There aren’t enough flowers in the world to cover the stench of a douche bag.

A special date. Whether you are still dating or have been married for years, making time for special dates is essential to keeping your love burning brightly. When planning those romantic outings, put buying flowers on your list of preparations. There’s no better way to set the mood for a special night out then to show up at the door with a beautiful bouquet. She’ll melt.

***Surprise her. Who says you need a reason to buy the woman in your life flowers? Surprise her! Make it habit to stop by the florist on the way home every now and then to pick up some flowers for your lady. Trust me. The investment will definitely pay off.***

***If I had to choose (as a woman) which one of these was my favorite (and most effective in the romance department) I would say this one by far!

Great job Brett and Kate McKay!!

What's it Worth to YOU?

 "Anything of value is worth paying for."

Truth....still.

"Anything priceless or one of a kind is worth all you have in exchange."

Yeshua explains to us  just what we are capable of doing when we find something of value that we desire to possess. (*scripture below from Mathew) 


I have seen these actions played out in my own life on several occasions Sad to say they have not always been in line with God's best interest for me or those closest to me. Thank the Lord for his immeasurable grace and mercy.


My prayer is that we all follow the Lord's heart and will for our lives - and with passion!


Here is a *truth nugget* I will share with you. Something I have learned to  keep me grounded when I seem stuck or in a quandary of sorts. It helps me decide whether or not I choose door #1 or door #2.


" Don't ever DO or NOT DO anything OUT OF FEAR."


This assuredly will keep us from the Lord's will in our lives. Because fear is NOT from God.


The fruit of righteousness is peace. 

Just wanted to share. 


Be blessed and know that you are truly loved of God.



44 The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. A man found it, hid it again, then in great joy went and sold everything he owned, and bought that field.

45 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for fine pearls. 46 On finding one very valuable pearl he went away, sold everything he owned and bought it.





You are loved
