BEWARE! ---- Do NOT TRUST anyone ANYMORE!!!

Okay - so you may think that a harsh statement.

Perhaps it is. Doesn't mean there isn't truth to it.

Watch this video

 WHEN you do - Keep in mind - for every good parent

 that has their child ripped from their home publicly 

Their are hundreds  WE DO NOT HEAR ABOUT.

Sick!!!

Angels

The Hosts of Heaven

They are all around us.

Divine creations of the Lord our G-d. 

Who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word. (says the psalmist)

Ministers of His, who do His pleasure. (Taken from Psalm 103)

They are also given us as support.

Psalm  91 tells us in verse 11

"For God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways.

With their hands they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone.”

The Lord has seen fit to have His angels serve us…(all who fear G-d)

The Psalmist  tells us in Psalm 34

"The angel of the LORD, encamps with them, to deliver the one who fears the Lord."

  

I for one am so very thankful for this ministry of G-d's angels.

Especially today!

I do not worship, nor do I seek out angels but after what happened today I am especially thankful that they are very much a part of my life!

I was almost killed three times today!

I was driving along the interstate, minding my own bussiness. I was in the far right lane. A semi in the left lane next to me and suddenly a car parked on the should of the highway decides to pull onto the interstate. No turn signal. No nothing. I couldn't slow down. I couldn't pull into the left lane (because of the semi truck.) I laid on my horn for a solid 20 seconds. (I have a very loud horn) and I moved as far over in my lane as I possibly could. The truck driver swerved over to his left as much as HE COULD. (good thing HE was paying attention. The car that pulled onto the interstate seemed totally oblivious!

I though for a moment in time I was going to be smashed between the car and the truck!

I have no explanation for not being seriously injured or crushed to death!

Seriously - other than G-d's angels looking out for me.

This was only ONE of three times today!

I think someone is out to get me.

Thank you Lord - You have other plans!

Below are some pictures that people have painted from their own ideas of what their angels would look like.

I have my own idea of what MY guardian looks like.

I am not quite as talented as the following artists so these photos will have to do.

They are all awesome pictures....but honestly?

I am quite certain they do NOT do the mighty warriors of our Holy G-d justice.

Enjoy.

I just LOVE Him! Elohe Mauzi!

Psalm 43 

Vindicate me, O God,
And plead my cause against an ungodly nation;
Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!
 For You are the God of my strength;
Why do You cast me off?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

 Oh, send out Your light and Your truth!
Let them lead me;
Let them bring me to Your holy hill
And to Your tabernacle.
 Then I will go to the altar of God,
To God my exceeding joy;
And on the harp I will praise You,
O God, my God.

 Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.

Ever wonder....

Why? Why your life has turned out the way it has?

Where? Where you were when God handed out the EASY BUTTON for life?

What? What you coulda - shoulda done differently? Or - not?

Who? Who, if anyone has been truly, positively, affected by your life?

Just curious if I was the only one who thought about such things.

Just a weed in the Flower Bed of the Garden of Life.

Every Step of the Way

If I could say what was in my heart, without saying a word

If I could take the years gone by - get you to see them in your minds eye

If I could make my tears disappear with just the stroke of a pen

If I could simply paint on a canvas and change a scene of my life I would

But I can't

I have learned life isn't  that way

I have learned I am not always what I say

I have learned it's much better to rely on G-d than myself

I have learned the Lord would prefer if we would just obey

So I will

As for my heart, no mere words would ever do

I am pleased however, to continue to share with you

Joys and sorrows - trials and victories

Every life is worth living and will have plenty of all of these

Shalom is the key

Jesus is so good to me
He is with me every step of the way

So I leave you with this blessing today
Go with G-d - seek His face
Trust in His Word
&
Be Blessed!

Please tell me why????

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Angry people - why?
I can not tell you enough - or come up with adequate words to describe just how completely unattractive they are.
I would truly like to understand - I mean truly understand - why they are so very angry - and all the time. Also I would like to know the reason why these angry people feel they are so justified in being so angry.
I want to understand because (plain and simple) I am sick and tired of all the anger. Every day. Everywhere I go. Anger.  For no apparent reason. Anger. I start my day off with a spring in my step and a song in my heart. Off to work I go and first call I get (sometimes before I actually have a chance to answer a call) in comes the screaming anger. Literally yelling - at me - over their issue - their mistake. Vular verbiage unfit for a drunken sailor being spewed from their mouth at me. Wow. So unattractive.

It's not just at work either. It's everywhere. One would think it's people lost and without God.
Yeah, that's it! ummmm, nope. You see, I see the anger in my siblings in Christ too. Sadly, this is true.

I can honestly say I do not know the circumstances that have spawned so much anger. We all live such different lives. It can be so many different things for each person. It can be unresolved grief gnawing away at your heart or unforgiveness deep inside. It could be fear. Fear of anything these days. Fear of losing one's economic security to a loved one or health. There are so many different circumstances  that can underwrite the emotion of anger.  We may not know ourselves why we feel so hostile.

Still, in this uncertainty there is  one thing I do know for sure.  What we all need to calm the fear and alleviate the anger!

We need 

Love  - Forgiveness - Joy

Choose Love

Choose Forgiveness

And

Joy Will Come

This is a recipe. A very special recipe. Which needs all all three ingredients to work just right.

Here's why. 

If we have love, then we can have, give and live forgiveness. Then the joy will come.

I truly believe (and have learned by life experience this to be truth)  that is needed to rid our lives of so much anger.

Shalom

Sometimes I just wish I could..................

Sometimes I just wish the Lord would show up in person. You know?
I mean. Come on. Can anyone out there reading this understand where I am coming from?
It's not that I don't appreciate the awesome, prophetic dreams that in their own right have become an intimate love language from the Lord Himself to me. I do. I really do.
also not that I don't appreciate and feel incredibly blessed when I am driving down the road, or walking down the street or even just sitting quietly in my prayer chair and suddenly and immersed in His presence. No warning. Just swallowed up in His love. Filled with His peace. Unable to move from the weight of His GLORY. I realize these are manifestations of the Lords incredible love for me and His presence in my life. Sometimes though, like right now, when I am being lead by the Lord Himself along a very narrow and specific pathway, one that is twisted in and around several others pathways similar to itself in physical appearance but so very different in ending destination. I find myself wishing the Lord would just "show up" in person as I am traveling on my path. Kinda like He did for the disciples. So I could "just ask" Him straight up, "Do I do this? Should I say that? Is it this person or that person?" Instead of having to lean on my faith all the time.
I know that probably sounds so totally ridiculous to whoever  is reading this right now. It almost sounds ridiculous to me. haha . I guess I am just tired I guess. I am tired and I don't want to stop moving forward and I don't want to make any mistakes either.

I came back from a retreat just a couple days ago. It wasn't a resting retreat. I served the entire time. The Lord used every ounce of every moment to speak to me. So that was really good. Of course now I am exhausted and I truthfully need some serious time to process everything. I don't expect that to happen until probably next week.

Well, This was different. Me writing about pretty much nothing nothing. But, that was what was on my heart. Wanting to see Jesus...needing to talk to Him. In person. About so much.

Did Jacob's Pain EVER Subside?

I received a promise from God.
I believe he will see it through.

I don't know the time . I don't know the day or year. I DO know the one who spoke the word of promise. I know OF him and I KNOW him. I know his love for me and I trust him with my life. In fact, HE is the one who GAVE me life. Not just in the beginning when he knit me together in my mothers womb but again after I was already birthed into this sinful world and headed straight for hell's gates. It was HE, God himself, who reached out and plucked me from the hand of the enemy just moments away from slipping into eternal separation from God and all those I loved.......There is so much more to this lovely, miraculous story! Bottom line though?
I have been saved! By Gods Grace!! I didn't deserve it! There was and is nothing I could have ever done to deserve or earn it!
It is the same with any one of us who have come to the saving knowledge of Jesus the Christ - Yeshua Ha Mashiach. There is NOTHING we could ever have done to deserve this great gift of eternal life.

Since then - since my eyes were opened to the truth (Jesus) - the devil, our accuser Satan has been on a mission to "try" and convince me that am I no good and do not deserve Gods grace. Ummmmm - WRONG!
That is the ENTIRE and WHOLE REASON. Jesus came and laid down his life down ---- for me....for my sin.
FOR YOU.....for YOUR SIN. So WE would be able to be WITH HIM  forever and ever and ever.....regardless of our past.

This all being said ( hoping you are follow along here)

Going back to the beginning of my blog post here.  >--------->  Beginning.

Gods beautiful and precious - most Holy - and His  promise WILL stand AND will come to pass.

When? 

THAT I can not tell you.
It is not for me to question the day or hour but to THANK HIM for his mercy and grace!!!!

And

To expect my prayers to be answered - my cup to overflowed with the manifestation of received prayers birthed out of a heart of  love and supplication - a divine gift from the Holy Father.
 Given to me as I have delighted IN HIM through the most difficult and horrific times in my life!

Just got one question - How long did Jacob mourn when he lost Joseph? When the enemy stole him away from him?
Did Jacob grieve for a long time or was he able to grieve the 5 steps and soon let go?
Of course Jacob believed Joseph to be dead.
So this a bit different than say - the prodigal son.
Do you think HE was able to just "LET GO" and stop thinking about his lost or wayword son?

I ask because I have been struggling with this from time to time.
I don't generally "tell" people about my situation - not those in my daily life -  but from time to time I am asked about my sons. I mean, it's hard to avoid the obvious. They are my sons and I have pictures riddle throughout my home and office. I am not gonna lie.
I do my best to avoid conversation but inevitably the brief reminder leaves me and my heart grieving deeply once again.
Thus - the thought about the men and women of God in the Bible.

Well --I am not sure about them. I DO KNOW God grieves over HIS lost beloved children. So THIS makes me think it is "okay" for us to grieve the loss of loved ones, especially those who are still alive - especially those who are what would be considered as "luke-warm". Still having a chance
I believe the grieving is a reminder, a passionate reminder that gives us a passion to pray for them and the  reconciliation that is needed in their lives as well. To pray for health and healing inside and out. They may not. Actually, most assuredly they do not, think they need it, but they do, as God IS A GOD OF RECONCILIATION AND LOVE. That is why God SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON to die for us.....and that is WHY HE CAME of HIS OWN DESIRE, WILL AND LAID DOWN HIS LIFE for us....for RECONCILIATION.

It is most assuredly not God's will for families to be divided. I believe with the very breath of my being - the very heartbeat of my soul - all that is within in me - God's perfect will (and He proves it so with the life of His Son) - is for all of His beloveds, all of His children, all families, to love as He loves, forgive  as He forgives.  Ephesians 4:32

"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."

Yeah - well - in case you hadn't figured it out.... I have just come back from a wonderful time away with God, one that left me full in so many ways.
I went as a "leader".
Of course "I" was SO pleasantly surprised being one of the ones to be so blessed .

I was emptied out in so many other ways.
Leaving me with open wide space to clearly see areas in MY OWN heart I have not seen before.
There was one question that came to mind over and over -that basically spawned this blog post tonight. . A question I have just asked the Lord.
"Lord, will I EVER get over this hurt? Will I ever stop crying? Will I EVER stop missing? Will I ever stop mourning their loss?"

"No. No, my beloved AmyColleen, not until I bring them safely back home."
So my Lord answered me.

And so,  I, Amy Colleen, God's Own, Beloved Handmaiden, would or have it any other way.
If there is ONE thing I have learned from my life with God it is:
1) Be patient and wait on the Lord for He IS good and his promises endure forever.
2) Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding.
3) God is close to the broken hearted and he dwells with those of humble and construe spirit
okay- so that was three things - heehee

I just love my Lord so much.

       My One True Love

My one true love;

I have but one;

He’s been there all my life from the rising of the sun; to it’s setting in the night.

From my first memory;

To this very moment;

Through all my tribulations and every battle fought and victory that I’ve won.

My one true love;

I have but one;

The Kings of Kings and Lord of Lords is he; he fought the fight for me.

My one true love;

I have but one;

Yeshua is his name. He is my dearest friend; my precious Lord in heaven.

My one true love;

I have but one;

He sits upon his throne awaiting our eternal union just the same as I.

My one true love;

I have but one;

Not a figment but flesh and blood; shed for me and risen; living for eternity.

My one true love;

I have but one;

I am his and he is mine. Since the beginning of all time; he was meant to be;

My one true love.
