He told me to post this today....

I was on my way out the door to work. I had had on "okay"....that turned into a "wonderful morning filled with praise and awesome intimate time with Jesus!

As I was on my way "literally out the door", I heard that wonderful small still voice say to me, "Psalm 42."

I went to my bible, singing along the way "as a deer panting for the water......" (as I it was that Psalm about the deer panting for the water) but when I opened my Bible to Psalm 42 I had an incredible unexpected surprise!

I found not only the following verse....but a a little peice of paper with a short saying on it, I had saved; that went totally with Psalm 42.

Anyway...below is the little saying and the Psalm...I found it to be QUITE amazing that the two were on the same page in my Bible and the Lord told me specifically to go there today!

I KNOW that "I" needed to here this today....and since the Lord spoke to me agin in that small still voice and said, "Post it."
I would venture a guess....someone else needs to hear it as well!

Be Blessed my friends!

My Little Piece of Paper I found in my Bible on the same page as Psalm 42 "Joys are often the shadows cast by sorrows."

Psalm 42

As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, O God.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?

My tears have been my food
day and night,
while men say to me all day long,
"Where is your God?"

These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:
how I used to go with the multitude,
leading the procession to the house of God,
with shouts of joy and thanksgiving
among the festive throng.

Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.
My ^[c] soul is downcast within me;
therefore I will remember you
from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon—from Mount Mizar.

Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.

By day the LORD directs his love,
at night his song is with me—
a prayer to the God of my life.

I say to God my Rock,
"Why have you forgotten me?
Why must I go about mourning,
oppressed by the enemy?"

My bones suffer mortal agony
as my foes taunt me,
saying to me all day long,
"Where is your God?"

Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.

It's the most WONDERFUL tine of the year!

Okay.....will you PLEASE tell me WHY during this "special " time of year....the time of year everyone is supposed to be ..."so cheerful and happy and FULL of love" it is JUST THE OPPOSITE?

I am not talking "everyone else" either!

I am talking everyone I run into! All the church attending synagogue going mosque patrons there are!

What ever happened to ...."It's the most wonderful time of the year......."

It just seems to get progressively worse every year and you know I can't find a single individual that will admit to taking part in the effort of "grumpordum" (((new word))) but I think we have all at one time or another fallen prey to it's almost uncontrollable and most assuredly undisrable outbursts from time to time.; leaving the person or persons on the receiving end feeling less than "wonderful"....this time of year!

I truly do think we need to take some time, no matter what we celebrate, be it Christmas Day, Ede, Sukot or Hanukkah and seriously THINK about WHY we are celebrating. The Spirit of the matter...you know?

I seriously think we get way too hung up on our selves sometimes... (.again, Amy's pet peeve) and separate from each other and focus on the "celebration" and "tradition" far more than we should rather than giving the weight of the excitement and reverence and respect to the REASON behind the HOLIDAY! ~ Ya know what I mean?

I am by NO means saying we should be little the celebrations for any of the above mentioned! On the contrary, I think if we were to do a little better job of "focusing:" on the reason behind the celebrations I think it would lend to a far greater and much more memorable time!

I guess I am just a wee little tired of all the ruckus of the "Holiday" season.
Which is so sad, because I love the holidays and I truly believe we are suppose to love this time of year!
But I also don't think we are suppose to have hearts full of unforgivness and bitterness during this time of year either....and I think that is why sooo many get so up tight....maybe that is why my heart is so grieved right now....because of the unrest that is so prevalent in society.

(((sigh)))

Oh well....what can "we" do but love through Yeshua HaMashiach!


Merry Christ Mass every one!

Happy Hanukkah!!!

I love you all in and through Jesus our Messiah!

I've Decided,
After talking with the Lord....it's my call in life to stretch
everyone's faith, at least a little....just by being "who I am" .

Hope of Glory

Once again I find myself in the quiet of the night;

walking away from reality, to board my dreams in flight.

As I reach the destination of my fantasy.

I find that I am smothered in the purest ecstasy.

Ah, the peace that overcomes me, the life that fills my soul.

Being loved for who I am is like nothing I’ve ever known.

I am completely engulfed in passions of the heart;

Experiencing true love in the whole, not just in part.

Feelings of the purest happiness are now apart of me.

As I lay in the arms of one who loves me unconditionally.

It feels like only minutes since I boarded my dreams tonight.

Yet I feel as though I am apart of an endless dream in flight.

Lying still in the arms of he who loves who I am;

it is now I find the strength within, to face reality again.

It’s when I find in my dreams; I’ve reached my highest goal.

That it’s time I say, “Good-bye”, for now. To reality I must go.

One day there’ll be no more dreaming for me.

For my fantasy will have become reality.

The rest of forever will be mine to spend with Him;

in a world perfect and beautiful, untouched by sin.

“…Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

Colossians 1:27
