A Strange Little Lump

by admin on May 10, 2011 in Four Little Eggs In My Nest, Little Things, Mama Heart Mushings with No comments
Lumps don’t like to go to bed,
even if they have the most sleepy head!
They hide about, often easy to see,
whispering wishes such as ‘you can’t see me, you can’t see me.’
They are prone to stifled giggles and wiggly toes.
A determined Mommy or Daddy are their most successful foes.

Hmmmm…. This sneaky lump is on the move.
“AHA and it has a face! OFF TO BED WITH YOU!
Don’t make me count, I am starting at TWO!”

Why Not Surrender

by admin on May 9, 2011 in Bits Of My Personality, Feeling It (Thankful) with No comments

I am not the first impression I give… nor am I my reputation, it will disappoint me.
I am not my style or physical appearance… nor am I my image, it will disappoint me.

I am not my past (memories), my future (dreams)… nor am I my story, my plan, it will disappoint me.
I am not intellect and memories… nor am I my mind, it will disappoint me.

I am not my feelings, my highs and lows… nor am I my emotions, they will disappoint me.
I am not my victories nor my failures… my self righteousness or my sins… they all will disappoint me.

I am not this body… it will disappoint me…

…it has failed me…

A VISION, of two roads

by admin on May 3, 2011 in Feeling It (Thankful), People In My Heart with No comments

The following is based on Christs teaching of the straight and narrow way and gate as well as it’s counterpart The Broad and varied way.. I companion this teaching with another that is stated thus wise..” There is a way that seems right unto a man but the end thereof is death.”

An open eyed vision I saw on April 23/ 2011.. I saw this as a series of scenes, which I immediately understood and was left with a certain capacity to remember what I had seen. I felt, somehow that I was to write it in pros or poetry and not to obsess about it but to begin writing with expectation that it would then begin to come together. Which I did and this is what I wrote:

A Vision of Two Great Roads

The breadth of one road was amazing to see….

One could walk it in many ways and so SEEM to be free.

It attracted very many because of it’s room

And it’s dark colored brightness without any EVIDENT gloom.

But as one travelled upon and day fell unto day

The travellers thereon could see it was crumbling away…

Then further along great potholes appeared through which many did fall..

So that everyone feared.. that soon it would happen and they would be next…

Their hearts failing for fear, being so sorely vexed.

There arose a great fighting , as they were carried along,

The weak were hurled to their deaths one by one by the strong…….

Choking smoke and the stench of burnt flesh was so strong

That many stopped walking but were swept, by the road, relentlessly along.

Smoke of torment rose up thick from the pit

And at the end of the road ALL were dropped into it .

THEN Suddenly I saw a light that was brighter than day

And a voice was heard saying.” See a more excellent Way…

Narrow and straight, hard to find though it was,

One could easily find through “The Lamb of Gods Love”.

There was no room at all, to the left or the right..

But we walked upon it, as though guided and not using our sight.

We all walked close together, for there is so little room,

Encouraging each other as our Lord lit the gloom.

Helping each other to stay in THE WAY..

Singing Gods Praises and loving each other each day.

Our Master Himself, POWERED us to hurry along..

So that we focused on JESUS and His Spirit so strong

Then all at once WE ALL HEARD IT.. so loud and so fervent

“WELCOME HOME !! ENTER IN!!! TO MY JOY. BLESSED SERVANT

Faith in Marriage (Marriage Monday)

by admin on May 2, 2011 in Feeling It (Thankful), Marriage Monday, My Romance with 2 Comments

Our shared faith in Jesus Christ was one of the first connections we found. We both came from very different spiritual back grounds. If I am honest, at first I thought I had the advantage and had so much to teach Garnet but over the years we have both realized there are no advantages in the family of Christ. There are different experiences and different stages but there is NO spiritual hierarchy in this family. Thus, Garnet and I have learned so much from one another because we both came to respect one anothers spiritual walk.

We talk, oh so very often, about where we are at and what we are learning, although most of our study time and prayer time is done individually. We are so good at challenging one another and encouraging one another in our faith. There are many benefits to husbands and wives being really open to one another about their transforming process in Christ. We both reflect different parts of one God and so we have a stronger faith together.

What do I put my faith in? Oh many things everyday but most of all my faith is in Christ and that trickles down and affects all aspects of my life. With his firm foundation I find endless hope for the best in my marriage, in my family and in the Body of Christ that we are all members of.

First Monday of every month at Chrysalis
