The World Outside My Window

So much is going on yet I know without a doubt it's not time to share; however I awoke this Morning with a new smile. I could barely stay asleep (and thanks to my new BFF "Melatonin", I slept like a baby). Which is a beautiful thing, my fellow insomniacs can attest to that.  As I prepare for my personal devotion, as well as Sunday School and Worship; I just wanted to touch basis with you all to say: the best is yet to come.  And not from a materialistic or cliche type of space; but as in, when/if you truly "let go and let God" He will amaze you, with even the simplest things (check my Instagram in a few; for those who follow me on there you already know what I'm talkin' 'bout). Seriously, God is the ultimate Creator; I mean He did create the Heavens and Earth and all the things thereof (see Genesis, Chapters 1 & 2), surely He can work out our scenarios (with ease) perhaps not to us (always) but to Him, it's a breeze.  So as we enter Day 3 of ...

After writing I have this "habit" of proof reading several times before hitting "publish" some posts I have to "sleep" on to make sure it's coming from the proper tone & space. For this I attribute (no longer placing "blame" or pointing fingers) the lovely OCD and those often amusing Perfectionist tendencies.  Last night, rather this Morning was one of those times. After reading it with various perspectives in mind, i decided to publish and share. I felt as if the tone was appropriate and those words wanted to get out; along with a few other posts i am organizing in my thoughts. I had a little trouble sleeping as i could not get my Mind to "shut down", finally the many techniques work and I'm off to my Dreams. I awoke to compliments, new "followers" and an offer to join a blogging network.  I am humbled, thankful and grateful to God for the gift He has entrusted in me. I'm still in awe of the relationship I...

At times I've wanted to share all of the things I've been going through; however I was unsure of how much of the details to reveal as well as the awareness of the power words carry. As a believer of The Word (see John 1:1; Holy Bible), in addition to Spiritual Laws and experience I am extremely careful with the words I select.  Question: Do you believe, the power to "speak" blessings and/or curses are possible?  Funny, I recently heard someone speaking about the very topic (the details escape me); the point they made was in reference to the relationship between "Spells" and how we associate the formation of words as "Spelling". The speaker went on to say that the energy, emotion, motive/intent, etc. of the person speaking words into/over your life is very powerful. As in when/if someone were to "cast a spell" or direct a "curse" in your direction; or on the bright side, send Love or "Blessings" to you. Pretty simple, I...

As I am catching up on my Bible app plans, I came across the following Devotional; when describes (confirms) the entire purpose I had in mind when it was chosen. I hope as you read the words you feel them in your Heart as encouragement to continue or as a slight nudge you may have been seeking or ignoring.  I pray whichever the case, you'll allow The Creator of your Soul to complete the work in you that only you were Destined to Fulfill.  Namasté ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ App: Youversion  Plan: She Reads Truth: Prayer in the Bible Kingdom Praying “Thy kingdom come.”  (Matthew 6:10, KJV) When Jesus teaches the disciples how to pray in Matthew 6, the very first instruction He gives in the prayer pattern is kingdom praying. If ever we needed an indication of how important it is to pray for His Kingdom, it is here. But what exactly are we praying for when we are praying kingdom prayers? If prayers of praise are turning our focus  upward , and prayers of confession turn our ...

Practicing Petition Practice makes perfect - and that is what we strive for in our lives spiritually (to be like Christ). While we understand that we’ll never achieve perfection here on earth, part of God’s will for us is to strive for a closer relationship with  His  perfection. It is His ongoing act of sanctification in our lives. Today sisters, let’s begin to practice how we approach the Lord with our petitions in life. No matter how great or small your desires may seem, they are important to you, and therefore, important to Him. Like the familiar words in Joseph Scriven’s hymn, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” remind us: “What a friend we have in Jesus,  all our sins and griefs to bear!  What a privilege to carry  everything to God in prayer!  O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,  all because we do not carry  everything to God in prayer.” We can come to Him for safety, for wisdom, with our desires, and more. Scripture t...

I am in Love with Love and Love is in love with me. My body is in Love with the soul and the soul is in Love with my body. I opened my arms to Love ...  and Love embraced me like a lover. ~ Rumi  

It seems to happen randomly; I'll have a thought and while I am still processing it, my mind is flooded with several others.  Each more challenging then the first.  This mainly happens while I am attempting to do several other things; I typically like to multi-task.  It keeps Boredom away; I can't recall the last time I felt "Bored".  I find it interesting when people say that to me, "I'm bored" or they'll seem shocked or surprised when I tell them I rarely feel that way; and the moment I do, I treat it the same as "Insomnia"; I'll ask my Self  "what do you want to learn?", this is typically followed my a few thoughts, recommendations or ideas and I "choose one".  Problem solved...   I have been wanting to write for quite some time, yet the words were so scrambled it begain aggravating my Migraine so I'd have to push it to the side.  Recently, I began to jot down the Thoughts that come or Ideas; in the past ...

It's Not About Age Timothy, Paul's "spiritual" son in the ministry, was very young, and he was fearful and worried about what people thought of his youth. Paul told him to let no man despise his youth. It really does not matter how old or young a person is. If God calls someone to do something, and they have the confidence to go forward, nothing can stop them. How you respond to your age and, for that matter, how others respond is really up to you. We all age in years, but we don't have to get an "I'm too old" mindset. Moses was 80 years old when he left Egypt to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land. Confident people don't think about how old they are; they think about what they can accomplish with the time they have left. Remember, confident people are positive and look at what they have, not what they have lost. Even if you are reading this devotion and let's say you are 65 years old and feel you have wasted most of your life doin...

There's a certain someone who occupies a unique space in my Heart. I am unsure of the description; however I am aware of the location, it's "dead center". I don't recall ever feeling that way before, it makes me uncomfortable and in the past, insecure and even "desperate"; seeking attention and approval at all costs. Even to the point, I'd lost sight of who I was. It took a very odd moment for me to wake up and realize how out of hand things had gotten. I made an "Executive Decision" and severed all ties. I remember a few years ago I was at a Cousin's house (My "Love Guru #1") with her Family and I'd brought up "the one whose name we do not speak" at which time we began to talk about "Soul Ties", "Soul Mates" and "Twin Flames"; If my memory serves correctly I believe we were up to the early part of the Morning engulfed in conversation. By the time I'd gotten home it was clear t...

I've been up since 4:00 am fighting the urge to scream and trying to battle an Anxiety Attack. The fact that I only slept for less than two hours before I was awakened when an idea (yay!); followed by reenactments of yesterday's conversations and events began to lead to a Migraine. I've started a prayer several times this week, but talked myself out of it. I want to hibernate. I am sick of (most) people and I'd rather spend my days with myself or a select few. Yet I know that is not what's best for me at this time/"season"... -sigh- I keep reminding myself, "the battle is not yours, it's The Lord's"... Then the headache worsens and the tears fall. Worst part of all, no one Cares. Although they'd be fake-offended IF they actually read the words stated; yet that's not a problem because they choose not to support anything I do. Yet if you let them tell it; they have all the love in the world; sigh -insert blank stare-. I'...
