STILL After ~ ALL These Years (In Memory of the Pittsburgh Massacre)

It's everywhere. Racial tension, prejudice, bigotry

Will it every go away?

Scripture tells us in the last days nation will rise against nation and kingdom will come against kingdom. * Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8

So, in answering my own question I will so - NO, sadly, no.

But I will add, I will do my very best to love like the Master,
(Yeshua Hamashiach) all nations and kingdoms.

Tapestry of God

Separated, two worlds apart

I am here ~ You are there

An invisible wall keeps us at bay

Words of silence clearly say ~

“You stay there. I’ll stay here.”

So goes the forever cycle of fear

Separated, two worlds so much the same

Together we would have so much to gain

I try to break free ~ Reach for your side

With harsh words of contempt I collide

In my heart there is no wall

Built by our forefathers one stands ten feet tall

Separated, two worlds ~ God intended us as one

A masterpiece of artwork ~ A tapestry undone

I look down at my skin ~ I look at you

All around me I see skins of a different hue

So beautiful to me ~ this tapestry I see

I try once again to break free ~ bridge the gap between you and me

Separated, two worlds apart

I am here ~ You are there

An invisible wall keeps us at bay

Words of silence clearly say ~

What they will ~ to whoever will listen

I choose to break free and do my part to mend

In loving memory
of the
11 men and women who lost their lives on
October 27th, 2018.
During the Tree of Life Synagogue Massacre.

Magnified and sanctified is the great name of God throughout the world, which was created according to Divine will. May the rule of peace be established speedily in our time, unto us and unto the entire household of Israel. And let us say: Amen.

May God’s great name be praised throughout all eternity. Glorified and celebrated, lauded and praised, acclaimed and honored, extolled and exalted ever be the name of thy Holy One, far beyond all song and psalm, beyond all hymns of glory which mortals can offer. And let us say: Amen.

May there be abundant peace from heaven, with life’s goodness for us and for all thy people Israel. And let us say: Amen.

May the One who brings peace to the universe bring peace to us and to all the people Israel. And let us say: Amen.

Still waiting. How about you?

I love this song by Lauren Daigle.

It's like she is singing "My💗Heart"

Honestly, if you think about it, she is.

She is singing the heart of any child of God who is waiting on God's promises.

So, go ahead. Click on the link and enjoy!

God’s Time

It’s hard sometimes to understand, God’s great, all knowing and mighty hand.

We see our world in limited view, knowing our need; at least we think we do.

We do our best to live obediently, without complaint, expediently.

Not comparing ourselves to one another, not being jealous of sister or brother.

Somehow, some way, hard as we try, we just can’t help but wonder why;

God seems to have overlooked our need, and still has neglected to water our seed.

As hard as it is to understand, God’s great, all knowing and mighty hand.

Let us remember his motive is pure love, he looks over us all, from his throne above.

His vision encompasses our entire life, from beginning to end, every joy; every strife.

He knows the plans he has for us, they are good not evil, in this we must trust.

Knowing down deep within our hearts, through all the tears and false starts;

God’s Word is ever and always true; HE will always see his promises through.

If we fully delight ourselves in Him, not just in part, he will give us the desires of our heart.

Broken Fork in The Road

Why is it that the fork in the road of life, is more often than not, always bent out of shape?

I would say this picture I took on Turtle Mound, in Florida is a pretty good depiction of all the forks I have come up against in my lifetime.

I say, "Just keep going straight ahead!"

It will get you where you are headed a whole lot quicker.

Keep you from a ton of unnecessary heart💔ache.

Keep you from having to turn back and head right back up the way you should have gone in the first place!

💗

Just a bit'o wisdom from an someone whose "been there done that".

Take it or leave it!

Love you!

and thanks for stopping by!

Shalom out!

Have You Discovered It Yet?

We all have our calls, our gifts, our passions and our responsibilities.

The question is,

"Do we live a life where they all intertwine?"

Honestly I would say, very few of us do.

Those are the few are far between. The truly blessed. For they have discovered the key of God's perfect will for their lives. Not only have they discovered this. They are living it.

As believers this is a journey we all make in our lifetime.
One we all aspire to.

I know I have been spending the better part of the last 42 years of my journey with Yeshua, doing just this.

Ahh! But I am not in poor company! Though it has taken all of my walk with Messiah thus far to get me where I am today. Which is finally where I should be. Not to say I have arrived. (Please reader hear and understand me on this!) I have many of God's great prophets and children of past as learning partners. Though I am in NO WAY comparing myself to THEM! I can think of just a few of them off the top of my head who went through years of molding and pruning before they reached their full potential. For instance Moses, Daniel and Naomi. Lets not forget Joseph and Esther. In the New Covenant Peter and Paul!

So, yes I am truly humbled when I look at my measly sufferings. Of course I have not forgotten the suffering of Messiah. But even taking into account these fellow servants of the Most High ADONAI, I have found it to be so encouraging.

Hopefully you will too. That is why I share here on my blog.

Shalom to you all!
