A look through 2012

A year full of being emptied.

 Gaining from loosing.

Seeking and finding.

Not understanding.

Going deeper & higher.

Realizing I am completely lost and finding myself in Him - again.

Meeting strangers in those I know as family.

and

Finding family instrangers along the way.

Discovering

 I have no tears left to cry.

After countless nights

  crying to sleep in Papa God's lap wondering, "Why?"

Thankfully 

2012 is now coming to a close.

I am fairly glad.

I know that all things will work out for my good.

But the majority of this last year has been far too heart wrenching and sad.

So I welcome this new year!

I am thankful for all the awesome - wonderful people God has placed around me and in my life this last year!

I leave you 

With these tid bits oflearning from 2012!

Believing 

Is a life long lesson of faith tested and tried.

Knowing 

Is a daily confidence that comes from learning how to abide. 

Peace 

Is the fruit of righteousness - Yeshua Savior - Messiah - King.

Truth 

Is freedom when found - free for all when sought above all else.

Forgiveness

Is needed by all - received by many - yet extended by far too few.

Love 

Is the greatest - most wonderful gift of all - and can only be received when given away.

Most of All

 Remember - things could always be worse.

So make time to be

Shalom - I love you!

There is nothing I love more. NOTHING.

Than the Word of God.

Give me your gun - Do what I tell you - Bang Bang you're *******

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY - ANTI GUN HISTORY - GUN CONTROL HISTORY








In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. >From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. 

Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total

 of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. 

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

    

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. 

From 1964 to 1981, 

100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. 

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. 

Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated

in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million. 

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. 

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens. 

Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late! 

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson. 

With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.

During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America

 because they knew most Americans were ARMED! 

If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun-control message to all of your friends. 

I may not see it - Still I know it will happen

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

King James Version

Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen.
American Standard Version

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 

New International Version

Now faith is being sure we will get what we hope for. It is being sure of what we cannot see. 

New Life Version 

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.                        

New Living Translation

So life goes on. When I take a look around, nothing really looks any different. But I know things are and will continue to be different.

I know things are not the same today as they were yesterday.
I know tomorrow, things will be different than they are today.
Even if it doesn't SEEM that different.
Even if I can't SEE a difference.
I KNOW this to be true.

Why do I say this? -------- How do I know this? 
Simple 
Because God said so.

"Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them."  Mark 11:24

"Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. ¹⁵ And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him." 1 John 5:14-15

"So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you." Luke 17:6

Yeah, so I take comfort in knowing and YOU SHOULD TOO, that God has my life situations in the palm of HIS HANDS and as I take pleasure to delight IN HIM He will (has) given (placed) His desires in my heart! 
All that I have prayed for will most certainly come to full fruition!

God Bless!!

Love you all!
