"Until Later"

I have been feeling like the Lord was wanting me to "simplify" my life somewhat. I felt like He had spoken to me to stop writing the blogs, at least for now.

I am keeping the blogs open because you never know when there might be something that He impresses on me to share with you. This blog was started to share some of the "nuggets" that the Lord has taught me over the years. Since I am in an ever-learning process, I know that this is not the end of this blog... just a temporary parting of the way.

How appropriate that I am writing this here now because one of the things that I am learning is how to let go when I need to, and when directed by the Lord to do so. Letting go is not always something that we might want to do, but when we know the Lord has spoken to us to do so... obedience is better than sacrifice or our own desires.

"Simplest Key to Victory"

If you love… you’ll win.
If you fight… you’ll lose.

“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” Matthew 5:44

"Open"

Open your ears that you may hear the words He has to say.
Open your heart that you may feel His presence every day.
Open your eyes that you may see what He has in store,
for those who will open up themselves, He’ll show you more and more.

"Faith"

Faith hears assuring words when not a word is spoken.
Faith sings aloud with joy when every heart is broken.
Faith sees good things to come when not one thing appears.
Faith tells of hopeful dreams when others embrace fears.
Faith smiles when skeptics frown, and faith always believes-
Shouting, “It shall be done”, and faith always receives.

"Walking in This World- Seeing or Hearing?"

In this word it’s all about what you “see”. We act according to what we see, we make decisions based on what we see, we call it according to what we see, we believe everything we see- “seeing is believing”. (What you see is the way it is.)

In the kingdom of God it’s all about what you “hear”. What you hear from God is the way it is. Therefore, we should act according to what we hear, we should make our decisions based on what we hear, we should call it according to what we hear, we should believe what we hear- “hearing is believing”.

“(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)” 2 Corinthians 5:7
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17

"Why People Break"

An oak tree in our yard so stately-like in form,
Stood strong and straight until it crashed amidst a storm.
Nearby our willow tree bowed low to every wind,
Until the storm passed by then straightened up again.
Like people I have known, oaks crash in fiercest wind,
While bowing willows live…
Things break when they won’t bend.

"Faith"

Faith hears assuring words when not a word is spoken.
Faith sings aloud with joy when every heart is broken.
Faith sees good things to come when not one thing appears.
Faith tells of hopeful dreams when others embrace fears.
Faith smiles when skeptics frown, and faith always believes-
Shouting, “It shall be done”, and faith always receives.
