It's true, you know

I Live a Life of Miracles

So….Life totally did not turn out like I thought it would.

Ooooookay or like I had hoped it would.

Or…..yeah even like I realized it probably was going to.

Yep that’s right.

It just didn’t turn out that way at all.

Life is a miracle for me. No matter how I look at it. It’s a miracle.

Sure there have been bad times. But there have been allot of good times as well.

The bad times, are they entirely my fault; altogether my mess ups?

Well…..I have tried to make excuses for all the mess ups… but basically I just messed up; and if I make excuses for all the mess ups then I feel as though I have to make excuses for all the clean ups too.

I don’t want to make an excuse for the clean ups….. those are my miracles!

You know, now that I think about it, the way my life is actually turning out - may not be exactly how I thought it would be….but....it is.....actually allot closer to what I had always dreamed it could be.
:)

It seems to me that the closer I get to Holy Spirit, Himself, and ….the more I seek the Lord, Holy Spirit's face…..and the more I die to myself….the further I get from understanding life (as I was taught to grow and understand it by all my life’s teachers here on earth) and the closer I get to embracing life and the understanding of it the way Holy Spirit reveals its meaning to me.

Everything I have held dear for so many years is now becoming a different point of interest and priority in my life.

To truly die to yourself…..to abandon all for the sake of the cross…..pleasing God – not man.

Can I do it?

WILL I do it?

Where has life taken me this far?

Where will life take me from here?

I do not know.
I do not know the answer to that.
I DO KNOW that where ever life’s journey takes me 

Yeshua HaMashiach is by my side
Holy Spirit is here with me.
and

I live a life of Miracles.

"Doing Without" a Heart. NOT okay

So You Think You're Okay?

Think Again. Forgiveness - It's a funny thing -It creeps up on you when you least expect it. Un-forgiveness really. You're going along in life just fine then. Wham - outta know where it hits ya  like a heart attack. 

Sometimes we can get wounded, hurt, deep down inside - and it never really "heals". At least not the way it should. Tissue begins to form over the injury, like scar tissue - pretty soon we don't see the wound, or really even feel it much. We grow accustom to the scar tissue that covers the area where the injury took place. We may even have gotten used to the limited mobility that has stemmed from the over growth of tissue where the injury was. 

It has become a part of us. Our relationship with the person that hurt us becomes strained.  

We pretty much have buried the hurt so far deep down inside, we have forgotten the magnitude of it's origination. Oh we remember when it happened - IF someone brings it up. But we may "play it off" that we have "dealt" with it and "forgiven" those we hold responsible for the hurt. But we know, deep down inside; there's something still there. Something that is only noticeable to us, God and those closest to us.

It would be one thing if it was just an emotional scar that was invisible. Truth is it is keeping us from excelling in the "more excellent things". We know this too. Something else we are unwilling to admit and we are willing to do with out. In fact "we have convinced ourselves" that we are in fact - not doing with out, at all.

We go on striving to create lives that seem fulfilled and God centered.  While in the back of our minds and hearts we can feel the pressure, be it all so slight, of that scar tissue, tugging, pushing on our heart and spirit. It’s as if there is a constant  cloud following hanging over our head.

Truth be told. We are actually doing "with out". We are sacrificing the "more excellent things" in life that God our Heavenly Father has designed and desired for us to have. We may not readily amit it - but we know it's true. 

Honestly, we don't like that we are. 

What we want is God's perfect will for our lives.

So how do we get there? From where we are now?

Well, for starters we need to face the fact that we have been injured - and - that we need to be healed - completely healed.

 

You see God, Our Heavenly Father, did not send His Son to die for us so we could just "muddle through" painful times and have our wounds heal over with patch work stitches and numbing scar tissue - that would simply allow us to "carry on our lives" and only "face those who hurt us" when absolutely necessary.

No, Our Heavenly Father sent His Only Begotten Son to die for us so that we might have reconciliation - to Our Father in Heaven AND TO EACH OTHER.

Sometimes, a wound needs to be opened up and cleaned out -

 before it can properly heal.  

Yes, it can be painful.

But it is well worth it.

Our Heavenly Father gave His ONLY Son - He paid the ULTIMATE price to HEAL the relationship between US and HIM. It wasn't even HIS fault we were separated.  

Won't YOU give THAT person in your life a chance?  The way God gave YOU a chance?

Freely forgive - as you have been forgiven.

Set someone free today and -

Receive healing - be complete.
