Wisdoms' calling

Amazing

Steps that are just amazing when looking for her ~

How so you might ask, and I do ask from time to time.
Here is her reply . . .

"My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness. . . .
for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you DESIRE can compare with her.
I, WISDOM, dwell together with PRUDENCE; I possess knowledge and discretion.
To fear the Lord is toe HATE evil;
I (wisdom) hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech. . . .
I LOVE those who love me,
. . . and those who SEEK me FIND me.!!! . . .
For whoever finds me finds LIFE and receives favor from the Lord."
Proverbs 8: random verses

As reading through the life of scripture . . .
. . . and taking some very serious spiritual baths my mind has contemplated the filth of my life. Yep . . . pretty dirty with sin but the renewing is worth to scouring necessary to take off the scaled filth. The first layer many years ago didn't seem to difficult to remove. There was too much calluses there to know it was the beginning of a long cleaning, no scouring job. Boy has this been an "OUCH - that hurts!" & a "Why do we need to scrub so HARD?!" process lately. Is it worth it?
YES . . . most DEFINITELY YES!

The very GOOD . . ."Lord brought her forth as the FIRST of his works, before his deeds of Old . . . before the world began."8:22-23

My hearts desire. Be one whom LOVES sitting at HIS FEET. Gaze into His eyes and to KNOW His heart! My hearts desire? To live out my names' sake. Like Anna set apart for him in her devotion - LIFESTYLE lived in WISDOM (Ana-). Like Mary; all of them really, but to sit at His feet because He is Key - LIFESTYLE lived again in WISDOM (Maria). Rose - My favorite FLOWER - a reference to Christ - Jesus . . . the Rose of Sharon - LIFESTYLE with an everlasting aromatic deep fragrance of HIM permeating through every pore of my being, therefore lived in WISDOM (Rosine). Oh my, do I have a VERY long bathing process to still go through, however, with each tender step into the proverbial bathtub . . . each layered callous is becoming workable enough to be removed, just at the right moment . Shaving each revealed yucky sticky sin away from the new creation that He really intends me to be. It is with each calling from wisdom's sweet voice to come and bathe again . . . I know it is all in preparation to LIVE eternally with THE KING!

I like how Matthew West wrote a bit about life . . . in his album SOMETHING TO SAY
" You've got your hand on a habit and you can't seem to let it go, it used to be your escape but now it's out of control and now it's you in the mirror but you don't recognize your face and your looking for a reason not to throw it all away. . . When this LIFE makes you wonder, what have YOU GOT TO LOOSE? Just GO BACK - GO BACK to the MOMENT OF TRUTH!!!"

Be wise . . . seek her with everything you have.
Do you hear her calling YOU?
Listen closely . . . she is . . . because HE IS!
;-D

Ahhhhhh . . . Love

Ahhhh . . .

The drizzle dew of the day.
The smell of fresh coffee or tea

The opportunity to see Life blossom
The rays of color in the autumn landscape

Three special moms accept a new one
The breath of prayer over our babes
*** and their walks

The knowledge of accepting the fact that
. . . Life is a moment to apply ACTS


Ahhhh . . . . I LOVE YOU ALL DEARLY
Kent
Mya
Tia
Faith
Emily
Hadassah .. . . . . ahhhhhh

With all my LOVE
. . . . from "the very bottom of my liver!!! ;-D"

Full with JOY beyond measure, our youngest angel loved each and everyone of them.

We had an unexpected out of town guest surprise our very
special neighbors from the past . . . it was a calm joyful time.
At least for Faith, Haddy and me whom sat with them to give them our full attention
(Kent was ;-( ill) while we enjoyed the evening over homemade chili, biscuits and of coarse hot dogs.

Full? Did you get to love them all "Haddy?"
Yeah - Sure - Ya Betcha!!!

The week was fully loaded with guests but we LOVED it!
Full with plenty of time!
Full with overflowing Love!
Full with smiles!
Full with laughter!
Full with the opportunity to be relaxed!

Yes this full week of fellowship was much like
a full filled harvest that reaped LOVE beyond
the measure of being "FULL" ;-)

Are you Full or not?
We sure have been . . .

But a moment

The cool crisp air

The warmth of the oven as the door opens
while oozing out the sweet smells of a fresh baked chocolate cake
the fresh pot of coffee fragrance wafts the room
as the aromas touche all the senses . . .
The beaters whizzing while the mixing bowl swirls 'round n 'round
ummmmm . . . sweet memories made

The door bell rings
Haddy giggles and clings to my legs
the patter of footsteps

a pleading voice to be held

A friendly smile
eyes that glisten with joy
chubby little fists that grasp firmly, lovingly,
smooth hands that lift her up
up, up . . . awww
a hug than a kiss that greets her
For now she knows - LOVE
the touch of a mothers' heart . . .

All but a sweet moment

"Bethy" . . . now a mommy herself.

"Auntie Joan" and HB enter the room
the heart beats with joy and ache to hold him
a quick change, the mixer stops the finished sweet smooth icing.

Two cups of coffee poured . . um m m m . . .
more sweet memories to cherish I get to finally hold him!

Lay him upon my chest over my heart . . . heart to heart
he slumbers and smells so, so, so wonderfully fresh
and his skin so soft . . . to caress him so gently
patiently gingerly soaking the three generations in
to the corners of my souls keepsakes.

To Love him, to squeeze him . . . to simply cherish him.
To wrap my arms around him with such awe and wonder

Bethy's . . . baby boy . . . Henry Boyce
and Hadassah Roses' desire to . . .
"I waaaant to Luuuuve him, I waaaant to graaaaab him, I waaaant to hooooold him"

We Loved every moment with all three of you,
even though it was but a moment!

We Love You!
