HR and the Dreams Unknown

In the eyes of a Child is the DREAMS that come from deep with in their soul.
Eye expectant, Laughter real, Oh to imagine once again like our sweet Princess DREAMS!
Eager with every moment of ANTICIPATION!
To look out into a WORLD of unknowns and to become gitty with the Joys of What CAN BE!
Her heart pounded.
Her feet ran as fast as possible to get her to "SEE" what is OUT THERE!
Her Joy, Wonder, Curiosity.
Giggle.
Smile.
Sigh.  
Sit. 
Quiet!

Go HR and Reach 
Your God Given DREAMS!

ask. 
communicate. 
"Speak Lord, for your servant, HR to
hear you. SPEAK!"

 The Still SMALL VOICE that speaks so Loud to Her inmost being! 
Open her ears.
Open her eyes.
Open her Heart.
Guide her very soul!

Unto you,
Abba, Father, God.




I've watched the heart of this Princess!
Named according to the Name sake she truly is.

Just like the others:
Prayed since the day of her known conception.

Uniquely her own:
Prayed to accomplish All the Dreams that YHWH
has allowed her to fathom and fulfill her Calling!

The Possibilities.
The Unknown.
The Holy Spirit Lead.
The Savior's Redeemed.

lead many to the Absolute Truth of 
YOU!

Destiny

Destiny.


What is yours?


Mine?




By definition of Dictionary.com:

1.   Something that is to happen or has happened to a particular person or thing; lot or fortune.

2.   the predetermined, usually inevitable or irresistible, course of events.

3.   the power or agency that determines the course of events.


"Many plans are in a man's heart, but the counsel of the LORD will stand." Proverbs 19:21

My Life is so very full.  
I have made many choices all my life that are so incredibly different than my growing up family and even with in my own home now made with a wonderful godly & God fearing man.   Often times my stubborn ways have even gotten in the way.  But my Destiny is to fulfill the "Great Commission to my very last breath."   

Oh I will grow old and I know that I've traveled the globe.  Pondering my Destiny.  Humanity and the human destiny.   I have had much and I have truly experienced little.  My belly has not truly gone hungry other than to satisfy the thirst to do more for Jesus Christ.  Destiny?  
DESTINY!    

Destiny.
What control do we have?
Hmmmmm.   

I know i am living a legacy.  One that belongs to Christ Jesus alone.  My choices dictate the path walked.  

However,   Ultimately for me to "Live is Christ and to die is gain."  the Life I live I desire to be so different because i walk to the very different beat of a different drum that doesn't make sense to the world.  To Love unconditionally.  To confess my iniquities regularly, because He knows that I truly need HIM!    No human being will ever fully satisfy 100% other than to serve them "others" with no expectations to reciprocate. To see them as they are made in Jesus Christ image.

May my life be so different that others see only Jesus Christ in his fullness and know that only He can and will save us, me from our, my sin.   ONLY He will truly satisfy the hole in our hearts and spirits that was only meant for HIM.  Yes even those who think, "well, I'm a good person,  I live morally and ethically correct. I treat everyone good around me."  Our Destiny will show in our here and in now.  In the WHOLE person we are,  but ultimately, it will be our 'forever' when we finally breath our last breath, close our eyes on earth "finally" and open them for our, my Eternity that we WILL and SHALL See our FULL DESTINY!    

I Love Jesus with all my heart and I LOVE LIFE more than ever because He has given me one more day to Share the Love of Jesus and make others feel IMPORTANT like they, YOU  truly are created.   I know time is short.  Very Short.  Some of us will leave peacefully.  Others well . . . with hard times.   But we all have an ETERNAL DESTINY.  

Therefore,  Chose wisely whom you shall serve and the "WHY?" because  . . . .


Your, My DESTINY MATTERS!







Living what?

My dear friend  "Claudeedee" posted this and it made me think of how we have diviated from the source of the ONLY thing necessary to care for our body is water.
H2O

It made me realize
days with out WATER can make us sluggish.
Isn't that what it is like when we go days with out "drinking" from the Lord Jesus.
Jesus is Amazing!  
Did you know that . . . .

Splender of the King through a Moms heart

Wow.   
I had my quiet time today and An Amazing sermon!  
OUCH and AHHHHhhh!



When contemplating what is taking place with in me
I hear the words of today:
SERVE
Edify other better than myself

Then I replay Howard Hendricks words:

"A BELIEF 
 is something you 
will argue about

A CONVICTION
is something you 
Will DIE for!" 

My entire life I have felt "called" to travel the world since before The Lord's still small voice was heard clearly by me. 

I remember it very vividly at 5 years old.  In "Lil' Gram ma and Pompi's " basement.

                                           My conviction is My Passion to SERVE YHWH
In every way.

He captivated Her heart
and More than answered ours






  While Carrying Her; our final Princess,  He asked me to remember to:
                                           
and Trust Him   
   I did!  


28 years later another answered Prayer:


                                          "Follow Me."   "GO."    "The Harvest is Plentiful."
                                           2 Continents:  3 states:  4 His Glory:  5 Cities:
                                                    Missions on Foreign Field together:
                                                   United in Ministry Calling as ONE.
                                           To My only earthly Love,  Until Death do Us Part!


To Love Him  as a grand

What it takes . . .

I just sat and read a wonderful blog from Lysa Terkheursts': The Day I Lost My Smile  About Parenting.

Isn't it just amazing how we learn so many life lessons from our children?

It is for me.   The best lessons come from our Mighty Lord and Savior and often times he allows those truths to come "from the mouth of babes" as well as their actions.

Today is yet another one of those lesson days.   I make mistakes all the time.  But I am learning continually that when the fuse is short it is because my walk is not in proper line with our Lord.

Today I am very thankful for my husband, our children, five wonderful reminders by birth. One answered prayer by marriage and one precious life from late December 2013.   I am so desiring to be different for the best of the kingdom and what is so different than the world views.  So here is the best I can describe it:



Often times . . . . Success in the Lord's eyes is so worth 'doing what it takes!'

Forgiveness for Kingdom Riches

I sit and I ponder our Sunday Lesson prior to worship.   Acts 6 & 7.  Little did I realize that the lesson would be so impactful.

Who?  Stephen.  What? Attacked by other leaders in the church.   Hmmmmm.

We once learned that we as believers need to shed the light of Jesus.  And when others from within the body speak badly through lies who do we handle them?   Especially when it is directed towards our own personal walk with the Lord.  I need to learn as well to bridle my tongue.  Why?  because it is growing pain lessons, "they will know us by our LOVE!"

Proverbs 15:1  "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." 
I Peter 2:24 " 'He Himself bore our sins' in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; 'by his wounds you have been healed'."

Early in our ministry we were challenged by another godly man whom was an elder.  As well as encouraged,  "I would choose a man with a heart after God's own heart than for a man who had a knowledge for God any day."   I am very Thankful for a very godly man, Donald "DON" Raymond, who taught us, me many vital lessons since 1988.  But the most important, to Stand on the ABSOLUTE TRUTH of God's word.  Live it with passion.  And I thank many another pastor(s) who taught us in our beginning but particularly in our tenth year of ministry at two different Leadership conference(s) of the danger of pastors tearing down other pastor especially within their own 'circles'.   Humble men of God, Jehovah.  Hearts that did and still do have a heart after God's own heart.  Men whom reduplicated humble godly leaders and still are learners who excel those under their leadership while passing the baton for kingdom glory.  

Hypocrites? By definition is A play actor.   Aren't we all?  For when we all come to the church it is really because it is a 'hospital for the heart'.  The place where the Lord only can truly work, 'operate', mend and heal properly.

See, It is very hurtful when people teardown one another any time in life.  That is very worldly behavior.  For that matter very easy.  It is simple to live in the flesh.  However as saints,  it is hard when any man or believers and leaders, during our fleshly moments of insecurities; such as the root of envy or possibly even jealous moments,  tear down another man with 'lies' to puff oneself up better than another 'man' within the same profession, especially for the ones of saving souls.  Especially when those same men talk ill of another.   When it is ever right to lie? Never.

Here is what I am learning.  Boldness comes when it offends my Lord.  Eventually lies and envious words will come to surface.   And maybe,  just maybe more of us like Jesus himself can and will ask the Lord, Father, God to "FORGIVE THEM for They know not what they are doing!"   So the next time the tongue decides to desire to lash out with any form of venom.  Stop.  Think.  Go to scripture.  "What would 'I' do if someone treated 'me' this way and spoke about me this way?"  CHOICES!  I choose to seek others who lift others up than tear others down publically.  The choice to choose different CIRCLES whom edify others and celebrate successes.

So today I FORGIVE a group of "men" (english, grammatically speaking) for speaking hurtful opioins and ways because the Lord himself has asked me to through His example.  A student and love learner of Jesus Christ still desiring to walk with Him.

1 Peter 3:15-17

New International Version (NIV)
15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.


 
Sincerely,
Ana-Lou

SOMEONE

Today my heart swells with emotion!
my little man, our Prince
sick, literally.

He can not say exactly how he feels
He can only depend on his loving parents.
To hold him.
cradle him.
LOVE HIM

As he labors to breathe it reminds me of 
RELIANCE

Why you say?  There are so many lost.  Lost in hope, lost of economics, lost freedom, but most importantly lost to their salvation. I Love the depiction of Love here.  Work.  Perseverance. Gentleness yet strength and Dependence of the stamina of another.  Whose?  Read on.

I love this photo.  
Someone ~
One of whom I do not know whom to rightfully give credit.  The unknown photographer captured so much in this shot.  
However, our two hands are HIS HANDS.  
I've come to realize that so many times we can help others but it is truly so much more than that.
Let me explain myself in the simple articulation of bullet points.

  • All are sinners.  
  • As Pascal has described it: we all have a vacuumed size hole  in our heart that only the Lord can fill. 
  • We try to be just humanitarians, however, it is so much more than that.  
  • Random acts of kindness only, well it still leaves one empty.
  • Salvation is offered for EVERYONE 
  • Choose one for the gift of Eternity in Heaven 
  • or one can chose the cold, the reality of condemnation in Hell.  
  • All fall short
  • No middle ground
  • Hot or Cold
  • No Lukewarmness
  • To only feed the stomach and not the soul still leaves a void
  • But the GIFT of God is eternal life in Him
  • Everyone knows John 3:16
  • "For God so LOVE the world that He Gave
  • His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON
  • that whosoever BELIEVES in HIM 
  • should not perish but have eternal LIFE
  • but how about John 3:17
  • "for He did not come into the world 
  • to condemn the world
  • but
  •   to SAVE IT."
  • with Both arms stretched out to the FULLEST
  • HE DIED
  • For YOU and ME
  • To have access to 
  • HEAVEN
  • not 
  • HELL
  • Faith with Action produces a fruit filled life that gives peace and substance beyond compare
  • To Live in Absolute Truth grants the BEST FREEDOM
Live the GOLDEN RULE:
"Do Unto Others as You would have done unto you."
Keep The Lord, YHWH First
Be the Hands and Feet of Jesus Christ

Time is short don't die of spiritual starvation of a life lost without Jesus Christ!
YOU ARE PRICELESS
His PRIZED CREATION
