ramblings of a tear

The moisture slowly leaves and gently cascades its' way down the weather worn face like a slow motion picture capturing the deep brownish embers that gaze in reflection of the wonder years. The wells from those warm almond eyes known as her windows to the soul, her very being; contemplate an outcome. "All for your glory" echoes the voice deep with in, yet the heart still aches. Aches to say, "come to my hearts home; just say the word and your healing will be thy will". Truth, Belief in the perfection of the answer, acknowledging it is okay to let it fall on the behalf of those whom are LOVED.

A salty stain leaves its evidence like a dried river carved in a muddy ravine after it has dried, evidenced by its path. The sun kissed cheek, the prominent Spanish cheekbones like a soft cliff tell of the thought behind each salty white path. It is laden with emotion, embedded with memories, showing a trail on an others' behalf. Quandaries ebb and flow freely at will.

Contained,

unrestrained,

rapidly and then

at a snails pace another soft tear finds its escape route. Peace enters the scene filled with child like questions. "Can I take away their hurt?" "Why do people in their fast paced life, not just treat others the way they would like to be treated?" The old adage of the "golden rule" is somewhat not practiced as frequently as it used to be. From those in the medical profession to those incredible individuals with extraordinary I.Q.s then to the common lay person; if we could be a servant wouldn't we all like to know of what true LOVE is?

My soul yearns for mankind to come to know the greatest gift to ever be had. Life eternal with the King of kings and the Lord of lords. "We live, we Love . . ." or at least we should in a way that reflects HIM~ Yahweh, the I AM. I now realize each tear, each heart beat, each thought, each prayer, each action is a reflection of the one who is and should be living with in me no matter what ~ with true integrity. I have the desire for others to not perish. I so want people to KNOW the way to Joy. And it has all taken place due to two recent situations with loved ones that I realize no matter the cost, the reality of the world and it's cruelty, we all need to fully depend on The Savior.

To extend hope to the hopeless. Love to everyone and the ability to keep loving even when it is hard and undeserved. Perseverance when others quit, and a tenacious focus to reach as many as possible with THE absolute truth shared in love; to reach out to a world that needs it and may turn away, to the very end.

To all my loved ones, "keep on keeping on! PRESS ON until the day of completion the Joy set before you striving for the goal which matters above all. Push through and share the gospel. For in HIS wonderful T - I - M - E all things will come to pass." We must enter through the narrow gate that leads to life, and be a trail blazer to show the truth, the way and the light to the one who gives LIFE and true freedom from bondage.

I know you are in full control ABBA, My KING, My LORD, MY EVERYTHING!

Your will be done as I BREATHE!

Commitment isn't a bad word

Commitment. What happens when one truly commits to anything? I would like to think that the old adage, "My word is my bond" still exists. However, it isn't exemplified in many ways as clearly as it used to be. From politicians to wee precious children not as common "today" as it used to be. Commitment? What are we, You, myself committed to and why?

I know it sounds bleak, however I know that there is a remnant out there of individuals who are seriously committed to hard tasks that are right, true and lasting. Why? Because I work with a few people who are "committed" to EXCELLENCE. Kent and I have tried our dandiest to raise all four and now beginning our five blessings to think and act this way. Work hard, stay committed no matter what is going on around you. Even when it is looking like you are the only one who is committed to a task, remain faithful. Walk with the Lord in everything, for great is your reward for the Kingdom. When my daddy taught me to be committed to a task because it is the right thing to do, I learned a great lesson. Whether you "like it" or don't from the first day until the last day, stay reliable because you and I are one who made a commitment. It has given me a different mindset, and a work ethic that is steadfast.

Ministry. Hard work it is true! Rewarding? Yes. Why? Because when one individual is committed to the task of ministry and helping others to discover the greatest gift EVER, the outcome outlays the shortfall! See the only true example is a redeemer who came to this earth over two thousand years ago. Why? Commitment, Love, Eternal rewards that out weigh all temporary "things," that of things of this life. He was committed before time began. Committed to the point of death, that really brings life to everyone who desires it. Commitment because of LIFE given for many with his life. Commitment of the hard task of being rejected, beaten, and left for dead. Commitment to FORGIVE. Commitment out of LOVE. Commitment for all to find the greatest of Gifts - Salvation. Who is this person? Jesus Christ. He lives and he LOVES everyone desiring that none (did you get that? NONE) should perish because he is committed in giving LIFE~! YES! My redeemer is full of commitment and I love it; knowing that he gave me an opportunity to be focused, one who is willing to be committed to outreach with every breath that is taken, with every step that leads to true life abundant and free, every thought captive ~ I am committed no matter what unto my last heartbeat on this side of heaven.

What is your heart, and lifestyle committed to? Temporary or eternal dividends? Hum. "Where your treasure is there your heart will be also." Be committed to that which leads others to Him, for it is the ONLY WAY.

here at the ROCK

MIT. I so love meeting with a group of wonderful women who pray for our children. Put in another way, four + four + fourteen = kingdom answers. We can run but the spirit moves! Our time yesterday was "God is our ROCK". We all pray for one of our children and my daughter Mya, our Love. was this weeks and ironically Hadassah was last weeks.

Mya, your prayer coverage was huge. With these scriptures used during this time; Deut. 32:4, Psalm 18:2 and Mt. 7:24-25 where our hearts bend requests, needs and foresight of the four children interceded for through the week beginning on our morning together. With this prayer through scripture, "Lord, You promise to keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because she trusts in You. I pray that Mya would trust in You forever, for You are the Rock eternal. (Isaiah 26:3-4)"

Sweet one since you are part of the prayers of us all this week remember: He is Your ROCK, Your REFUGE, Your EVERYTHING! You are His masterpiece. Forgive those who persecute you in any way and LOVE them as Jesus LOVES them! In Jesus name rely fully on the only true foundation, Jesus Christ. Guard your heart, your mind, and who you "hang with" and act with Righteousness. Focus on HIM 100% and you will NEVER have a weak foundation, even when others say and act on lies. Be confident with Jesus Christ cradling you. Lean fully on Jesus, the absolute TRUTH of His word. Know you are His pleasure and you are written/ ENGRAVED on His palm as His true loved one.

My prayer for you through scripture for those about you, and during the test of the flesh and it's trials personally and from assaults from others is this ::

"Open ______'s eyes and turn him/her from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that he/she may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith. (Acts 26:18)"

Our Rock and firm foundation is only in Him. Seek his foundation for your life and you can NEVER go wrong. Answer the call He has on your life with perseverance and remain focused on him. He is there for you no matter where you go. 1,2,3 MISHKA!!! True followers keep building on that ROCK!!!

Philippians 3:20

But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ
