Deep Crevices


Psalm 63:1A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah. O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water
****************
Have you ever hidden sins down in the crevices of your heart? (soul)
As much as I want God to reveal to me the areas of my heart that need repentance, healing, forgiveness; Sometimes I really don't want Him to reveal everything to me, only certain things, things I'm willing to be shown.
.
With hands lifted up, as to surrender I ask God to forgive me for things i've done, to fill me with His Holy Spirit, to use me like He wants to use me, and then I quickly run over to certain areas of my life and throw a tarp over it for Him to leave alone. Something I'm not ready to deal with yet, something I like to dwell on, an area where I justifiably think I have the right to hold on to for whatever reason. 


 That's futile thinking, foolish thinking. 


Do you do the same?


If so,
Since everything is laid bare before the Lord anyway, why do we find ourselves playing such a game with God? As if we are going to win. Thankfully, He sees the whole picture of our life and doesn't ZAP us dead, He doesn't give up on us. 






God always wins the game of life, in this instance, it's like He trumps us with the GRACE card. And when He trumps us, it's always SO gentle, loving and forgiving. 

The process that we go through to finally, truly surrender the hidden sin found in the crevices are destructive to us. You will never win when hanging onto the sins of the soul. It will always wear your butt out, leave you feeling aged and burnt out. 


Since God is faithful and concerned with our outcome and one to be trusted, one that cannot be hidden from, one who knows everything about us; why don't we just surrender before we put ourselves through so much unnecessary torment?


As I age, I'm slowly learning that God's way is the best way. Saying it and doing it are two different animals. The outside of our lives, must match the inside.


Today, I will pray and truly ask Him to reveal any sins that need repentance. Today, I'm feeling to tired inside for another fight with God






Come Lord Jesus and spare your people from themselves.

Baby Elijah

Dear Baby Elijah,

Oh how I miss your wet, slobbery kisses and your warm fuzzy head. I can't forget your 
gummy smile
 and your bright eyes.

Everywhere I look you are there.
 I look in my backyard and see your mommy holding you up to wave to Ba-ba out  the window of your apartment.

I look at your white car and see you in your car seat.

I go up in the apartment and see your crib

Bab-ba even has some of your clothes in her laundry room

Mommy left Ba-ba one of her favorite winter blankets that you wouldn't need in Honduras because of the warm climate.

Even at Kookys, Ba-ba remembers you sleeping in your car seat beside the toilet in her teeny tiny bathroom.

I wonder what your thinking in your little head going from a little 
Spanish to a lot of 
Spanish. To a lot of English to very little English.

Things are very different now

Do you like your new home?

I know you are loved a lot by your Mommy and Daddy and your new family.

Ba-ba can't wait to see you so she can hold you close to her again.

Ba-ba loves you sweet boy!

A message from a Messianic Jewish Publisher


THE VOICE OF THE LORD
We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God (Romans 8:28).
Sometimes we make poor choices in life. Later, we pout over the grim consequences: a child born out of wedlock; a jail term for dealing drugs; uninspiring career options as a result of poor grades; a chronic disease but no health insurance. Is this the time to say, cheerfully, "God causes all things to work together for good ..."?
The Talmud relates the experience of Rabbi Akiva while visiting an inhospitable town. He arrived in the evening and the innkeeper and home owners refused to grant him shelter. Rabbi Akiva was forced, with his candle, donkey and rooster, to spend the night in a field by the road. He lit his candle to study Torah, but the wind quickly blew it out. Then, a mountain lion attacked his donkey in the dark and carried it away. Still later, a weasel crept into the camp and stole the rooster. What a night! But Rabbi Akiva told himself, "This too is for the best."
At dawn, he awoke to discover the whole town had been ransacked and its inhabitants carried away by a band of marauding thieves. Had the townspeople given him shelter, had his candle remained lit, had his donkey brayed or his rooster crowed, he too would have been carried away with the rest. Rabbi Akiva gave thanks and continued on his way.
...commit myself to suspend judgment when I pass through the trials of life.

Oh, how I wish to have this attitude of contentment in my life. This makes me think of the words that echo out of Katie's, my friend and co-worker, mouth. She ALWAYS says, " I'm learning to be content in all things." Seriously, do you know how much energy we would save ourselves if we had the attitude of the Rabbi and Katie Sue? 

I will admit that there are times I get it and times I don't get it. We all know that life has different degrees of pain and disappointment and it takes others longer to get it  than other people.  That's where grace comes in..

When I read how the rabbi's candle blew out, I thought of my daughter-in-law Amy. I could hear her saying, " Now that's o.k. we can read the Torah tomorrow, it's no big deal."

We can learn a lot from one another, even though we are all made so different.

I was encouraged today by this Rabbi, he got it!
I'm working on it.

My Thought's on 2011

I made myself sit down and look back at the year in passing, so I could take the time and see the blessings that were given and see the pot holes of neglect that I created.




For some reason, this image came to my mind....

Imbalanced scales

Wow, it was most humbling to be confronted at the pot holes that were left undone and not filled in due to procrastination or exhaustion, or down right laziness. I could probably throw in hormone imbalances too. (that excuse is still working for me)

But, in all honesty, it did make me see where I need to regroup and RE organize for the umpteenth time. One difference between me now and me yesteryear is I have a realistic outlook on how to go about regrouping. When I was younger I felt I had to conquer it all today or this week which never happened and then defeat would follow.....Thank God for journals or in my case calendar's to point out areas  in our life where we need help..

So, my goal in 2012 for all that negative is to move forward daily in some way or another and not focus on the did nots....

But, the blessings out weighed the negatives in my life..probably, because I choose to see it that way...I'm sure that I could sit and sulk and dwell on all the negatives, but it will only dig a deeper pit in life...So I reach upward ...and 

4 To the LORD I cry aloud, 
   and he answers me from his holy hill


BLESSINGS

God's faithfulness even when we are unfaithful

His faithfulness to my friends in crisis..How they still walk close to Him and give Him the glory even out of some very difficult times. ( you know who you are...)

Kooky's...The Lord has opened the door for us, once again, he provides
Kooky's employees....a perfect match
God's heart in all of my children and spouses ( I could write several pages)
Grandchildren...their the best
God keeping Hunter and Amy safe and working in their hearts on the PCT

Dustin-You're a great father and husband
The new life in Mikal's belly
The passion he's given Mikal in the Post abortion ministry

My daughter's are GREAT mothers

Mikal-huge heart for God

My Family-how we love each other and understand how to extend Grace to one another

Baby Elijah-The Lord is my God (a prayer over him) born 2011
Cally-God's unbelievable rock you are, full of strength and love for others
Javier-A man of God
Honduras-God works in mysterious ways, I love the people
God's faithfulness to Cally, Javier & Elijah-bringing them to Honduras

Amy-the encourager, full of wisdom
Hunter-light hearted in this depressing world (balanced scales)

Mammaw-You teach me so much about the Lord
Mom-She loves her children

Robert-love getting to know you better

My husband-the blessing of struggles brings me to know that God is ever near..A fresh year to love you and grow with you. I'm your girl forever...

To my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ-the most forgiving and gentle God who displays unconditional love to all who don't deserve it. Full of Grace, giving us what we don't deserve and full of Mercy-not giving us what we do deserve. There is none like you...

Thought's on Christmas 2011

Dec. 18th, seven days before Christmas Day, Cally, Jav and Baby Elijah depart for the adventure of their lifetime. They return to Javier's homeland in Honduras, where they will begin their journey of faith. 

Mixed emotions stir during this time between these two dates given. Emotions of great sadness and overwhelming grief strikes deep within the souls left behind and the ones going beyond. Happy feelings for Jav to finally be united with his family for the first time in eight long years. Excitement for Cally to see her husband's joy as he embraces his loved ones. Happiness for her new family to embrace she and her husband as one and to love on their new baby Elijah. Feelings of confusion flood each of us, both this side of the U.S. and in Honduras; not knowing exactly how to feel about moving forward in life when the ones you so closely hold to your heart, the ones you can touch, feel, smell, hear are now far away from you.

Emotions can make or break you, at times we want to give into them and allow them to break us and have their way with us because we want to give up and not move on in life. But, thankfully, we are strong by the grace of God and we always seem to find our way standing back up on the feet of our emotions and trudge onward. First slowly and then a little faster. I would have normally written, a little faster and faster, but we're not quite there yet....

So a lot has happen between 12/18-12/25.....and then Christmas Eve comes..Cally, Jav and Baby Elijah are in their new land away from our traditions this year. They are now establishing their own..

I am very thankful to have a deeply committed family. I have always known that we were, but for some reason without even knowing that it needed to be proven, it was proven again. There was an underlying feeling of everyone having to take care of everyones feelings. Just making sure we were o.k.
 Now that Cally wasn't here with us this year.  As obvious as it was that they were physically not present, they were as present as they could have ever been in our hearts. All throughout the day someone was always talking about them. "How we missed the traditional Honduran mix in food that Cally would always bring." "The departure at the airport that had just taken place." " Dad and I receiving our baby picture of Elijah." "Tears."

Breakfast as usual at Dustin and Mikal's house Christmas Eve morning.  Hunter and Amy, Dad and I joined them. It was a relaxed morning, after dad and I arrived 30 min. late. We ate and talked and talked and the poor kids had to interrupt us 50 times to tell us it was time to open their gifts from everyone.  We loved watching the kids faces as they opened each and every gift.  Later in the early afternoon Dad and I departed to hurry and get out to the beach where we we going to welcome Hunter and Amy for a nights stay at the beach.

Everyone pitched their tents and hurried to sit around the fire. The fire that lasted and lasted thanks to David, Hunter and Amy always tending it. There is something mesmerizing about a fire. Something that pulls you towards it and when it does it grabs ahold of your gaze and doesn't let go.  I think it disposes of  all your stress. It's as good as a massage or hot bath. 
The first night the wind was fierce and chilly. Thankfully our two guys rigged a picnic table to block the wind, which made our evening more pleasant. After our cooked rib-eyes topped with onions and mushrooms, broccoli and cheese and a caesar salad, we continued to talk and stare at the fire, our evening delivered what we came for, we were all rejuvenated, from the inside out.

Sunday morning, we awoke to a beautiful morning, with a quick walk on the beach. The clouds slowly moved in and the air became a little chillier moment by moment.

David, Hunter and Amy made an awesome breakfast. There's nothing like campfire food and I must brag on us all, that we have a very sophisticated way of cooking it. Somehow, it came out extra, extra good. There were scrambled eggs, Applewood Bacon, pancakes, hash browns with stir fried onions, coffee , hot chocolate. Did I miss anything? It was great.....

Can't wait to go back to the beach, hopefully before next Christmas...


Thank you Cally, Jav and Baby Elijah for loving us all. Thank you Mikal, Dustin, Miss Olivia, Deac and Levi for having us over your house. And thank you Hunter and Amy for spending time at the beach with us this year. 

We love all of you..

Mom and dad.....

Ever want to write a book?

I've wanted to write many books throughout my life.

All pertaining to the Lord and whatever I was going through at the moment.

Kevin Leman has a book titled, "Making Children Mind without Losing Yours".
And all the parents said, AMEN!

How about: "God Uses Cracked Pots" by: Patsy Clairmont. She also wrote:
"Normal is Just a Dryer Setting". I have used that little saying since I can't remember when.

But today, I thought I would write a book on Peri-Menopause or Menopause. Yes, it deserves a capital letter, because it speaks so loud at this time in my life.

I've always joked about writing a book pertaining to my Christian walk and trying to survive Peri-Menopause. How about this title? " Walking in the Spirit Moment by Moment and wanting to Choke Someone to Death in the Same Breath". , "Whose in Control, Jesus or your Hormones?" "Is This Hell or another Hot Flash?" I honestly don't want to sound disrespectful to the Lord at all; just being real. As a disclaimer: I try to love the Lord with all of my heart and soul, but in all reality, it's not easy dealing with change. Whether a chemical change, geographical, emotional, whatever the case may be, it's difficult.

Aren't you happy that we live in this time frame? Where we have freedom of speech, AND blogs to post whatever we're feeling. For many years I belonged to a church where we had to watch our p's and q's. Cross every T and dot every I. This reminds me of my new found friend here in Blogland, Susie. Her blog is named: recoveringchurchlady.blogspot.com. It's worth a peek or two.

Well anyhow, I was always taught that emotional change or chemistry change are overused terms and basically we just need MORE prayer and studying of God's word. Of course, prayer and studying are wonderfully good (breaking the grammar rules) and much needed in our lives. But, I have seen lives wrecked because of chemical deficiencies and lack of medical attention. Not only, physically, but that belief can produce an emotional and spiritual basket case.

Back to the hormones. I'm 50 years old and I have been experiencing peri-menopause symptoms now for about 2 years. They have recently become full blown symptoms, such as, wanting to cry when the cashier is talking to me in the grocery store, hot flashes, (about 8 times a day, especially at night) overwhelming anger and a short temper. Now, I am normally very even keeled. I homeschooled my children for a little over 16 years, certainly that would produce some level of patience in my life, but not at this time. If anything, it has made me spend more time on my knees in constant prayer trying to walk in the spirit to overcome these wicked symptoms.

And then one day.....

the light went on. Dear Jesus, I'm calling my doctor for help. Which was the best thing to do for me, my family and my customers. After I made the call to my doctor, she put me on a bio-identical hormone, which has TRANSFORMED my life back to the "Normal dryer setting".

It also made me realize that some people REALLY do need to get intervention medicine for depression, etc... It has made me more sensitive to the imbalances that people suffer with on day to day basis.

I understand that HRT therapy isn't for everyone, due to family history of breast cancer, etc...
I happen to be in the low-risk category, so I took the plunge and did it.

I am even more sensitive towards my 81 year old mother who is STILL on HRT. Before hand, I couldn't understand why this woman who has been finished with menopause for almost 30 years still begged doctors for them.

And I've made my mind up, if anyone tries to take my HRT away from me, I'll be kicking and screaming to find someone to give them to me too. I'd probably have to be admitted in a rehab for former HRT users. That's how much they've helped.

In a split second...

Our lives can change......today as I was driving into town I was profoundly reminded of that truth.

Monday is my only day off during the week, so this morning I took my time getting ready. After drinking a pot of coffee and having a well needed quiet time with the Lord, I got dressed and headed towards Bluffton to spend the afternoon with my youngest daughter. Before heading towards the car, I remember generically praying, "Father, you know what I will face today, I ask that I can handle anything that is sent my way." After praying that out loud, the thought ran through my head, "that was gloomy." Not another thought about that, I proceeded toward town with my youngest daughter side by side in another car. Of course, we did the talk back and forth sign language and all that stupid stuff you do with people you know driving along at 60 miles an hour.
Cally somehow got two cars in front of me and we slow down for a stop light. The whole time she is observing a motorcycle in her side mirror that is weaving in between traffic traveling at a high speed. She sees that it cuts in front of a truck right behind me and doesn't see that I have come to a stop for the light in front of us. The guy on the motorcycle plows into the back of my car. I wasn't paying attention to the motorcycle weaving in and out of traffic, I never knew he was behind me. After the sudden impact to my car, I looked up in my rearview mirror and didn't see anything at all. ( I thought I was having a peri-menopause moment, imagining things) Then looked in my right side mirror and I saw a motorcycle laying on the ground. As the adrenaline rush took over, I knew I had to get out of the car and check on this person; afraid of what I was going to find, I headed towards the back of my car. To my amazement the man was getting up. When his body flew into the back of my car, it left a huge dent, along with facial fluids on the back windshield. The man seemed to be o.k., but later decided that he would go to the emergency room. No doubt, he wasn't feeling very well.

The car that this man cut in front of before plowing into the back of my car, happened to be an undercover police, navy blue, suburban truck. Immediately the lights come on and he takes control.

I'm thankful, that this man was o.k. My husband and I ride a motorcycle and it made things a little bit more sobering to think about what could have happened.

Also, when I look back at how the Lord spared me today, I am thankful that I didn't even know that man was behind me or I would have seen him fly into my car and my last memory would have been his face in my rearview.

After all, it wasn't a gloomy prayer at all, it was answered!

It's taken days to chew on this devotional

Come to Me . . . —Matthew 11:28

Isn’t it humiliating to be told that we must come to Jesus! Think of the things about which we will not come to Jesus Christ. If you want to know how real you are, test yourself by these words— “Come to Me . . . .” In every dimension in which you are not real, you will argue or evade the issue altogether rather than come; you will go through sorrow rather than come; and you will do anything rather than come the last lap of the race of seemingly unspeakable foolishness and say, “Just as I am, I come. As long as you have even the least bit of spiritual disrespect, it will always reveal itself in the fact that you are expecting God to tell you to do something very big, and yet all He is telling you to do is to “Come . . . .”

“Come to Me . . . .” When you hear those words, you will know that something must happen in you before you can come. The Holy Spirit will show you what you have to do, and it will involve anything that will uproot whatever is preventing you from getting through to Jesus. And you will never get any further until you are willing to do that very thing. The Holy Spirit will search out that one immovable stronghold within you, but He cannot budge it unless you are willing to let Him do so.

How often have you come to God with your requests and gone away thinking, “I’ve really received what I wanted this time!” And yet you go away with nothing, while all the time God has stood with His hands outstretched not only to take you but also for you to take Him. Just think of the invincible, unconquerable, and untiring patience of Jesus, who lovingly says, “Come to Me. . . .


It has taken days for me to chew on this devotion..........................................................

To me, it's about totally releasing your rights to any situation or person. It was very convicting to me pertaining to numerous situations.


Jesus says, Come to me... Plainly and simply... Come to me.... Father, you see this situation that I'm facing right now and it's never ending, the attitudes of these people are nasty, provoking and hurtful. How many times Lord must we continue this same conversation? Like a squirrel in a squirrel cage, the dysfunction continues and I'm tired of being in the middle of it. Always in the middle of it. Then suddenly, self-righteousness creeps in... Lord, I try to walk close to you and do the right thing. It always seems to be ME that has to do the right thing. Why not them?


Then Jesus says... Come to Me..

What the heck does that mean? I am coming to you Lord. Haven't you heard my prayers? Then Jesus says, Come to Me....


Surrender all rights to that person or situation. Press into me like there won't be a tomorrow. Walk in the Spirit of the Living God, serve them like never before, love them and LET ME WORK IN THEIR LIVES.


So today, I come to Jesus and bring this situation to Him and say here it is Lord. Help me to love you more Lord. Strip all my rights. I want to serve you Lord with all of my heart and soul.


Any thoughts?

Barbra Streisand - Alfie

After yesterday's sermon, I am once again reminded of a frequent thought that enters my mind. What is your purpose in life? How do you define Success?

These questions always lead to complex thoughts and feelings. Feelings that make me wonder if I'm doing the "right thing", etc... There are always unanswered questions, longings of the heart that are not being fulfilled and unending prayer involved.

Today, I will learn to accept the things I cannot change and live in the "moment". And this moment is enjoying the rest that's been given to me after an 80 hour work week. Accepting the fact that having the ability to work hard is a gift and continuing to ask for the Lord's guidance in all things.

A snippet from My Utmost for His Highest

It's always refreshing to see raw truth. Especially the red italic portion of this text.



If I am a friend of Jesus, I must deliberately and carefully lay down my life for Him. It is a difficult thing to do, and thank God that it is. Salvation is easy for us, because it cost God so much. But the exhibiting of salvation in my life is difficult. God saves a person, fills him with the Holy Spirit, and then says, in effect, “Now you work it out in your life, and be faithful to Me, even though the nature of everything around you is to cause you to be unfaithful.” And Jesus says to us, “. . . I have called you friends. . . .” Remain faithful to your Friend, and remember that His honor is at stake in your bodily life.

Wow, we really need the power of the Holy Spirit to help us get through this life.


Enjoy your Wednesday!

A Bad Rumor

Boy, could I start a rumor today. "Restaurant trades for porn".

I really did have the coolest, Jesus opportunity today.

Two young boys came into the restaurant, I'd say, approx. 12 years old in age. They were buying a couple of sodas and asking the price of an ice cream cone. They obviously didn't have enough money for the ice cream, but in between all of the pricing and purchasing, one of the little guys kept pulling out of his pocket a pornographic paper and sticking it back in. He couldn't keep his eyes off of it, so he took it back out and looked. By this time, I glanced at what he was looking at as he put in back in his pocket. His friend told him that he shouldn't look at that in public, besides, so and so told you to put it under your mattress and pull it out when no one was around.

The first word I thought of was: CRAP! I just couldn't stand there and not do anything. Asking for the Lord's guidance, I quickly came up with a deal. I told the young man that if he would give me the paper I would take it and tear it up and throw it away, then I would give them two free ice cream cones. The boy with the porn, pulled it right out and gave it to me with no hesitation. The other boy, hesitated and said he didn't want any ice cream, but ended up changing his mind. My husband was standing there and as the boys were leaving I told them they could come back when they had time and my husband would love to tell them where pornography leads them.

God is faithful to these young boys who need His direction, but the Lord also has a sense of humor too.

Our restaurant will be known for trading porn for ice cream!

Whatever works, the Lord meets us where we are.
