The World Outside My Window

looking forward to Worship, Praise & "The Word".... Expecting exceedingly and abundantly more than I can even imagine. To Be Continued....

There's a special time of the day many believe to be "the best time" for "conversations with God". This morning as I was in some space between a dream and consciousness I was able to obtain some clarity; a bit of understanding, (I believe) renewed strength and increased faith for the situation I find myself in.  I've touched on some (Bible references) before such as when we are "in the wilderness"; IMO that's self afflicted circumstances, so you're wandering around thinking you know everything you fail to realize (real eyes) you're traveling in a circle and a few days journey takes years. We've all been there at some point or another, yet every situation is not "the Wilderness" or some doom and gloom sentence from God to punish you/me/us for a poor decision.  Then there's  "The Valley" vs. "The Mountain Top" mentality, if you're doing well God must favor you and you must be a devout Christian an...

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...
