Both "Yes' and 'No' are essentials! 'No' is our boundary, while 'Yes' opens up new horizons!
Tolerance is not the same as acceptance!
Only say what is needed to be said!
Sin and trauma are twins who walk together; But often it is trauma who is easily recognized!
Spirituality like sexuality is about intimacy.
My 'reality' may not be the real reality.
It is good to live in a state of denial to that which comes naturally!
Forgiveness is commanded! Reconciliation - we choose!
THE MOUTH SPEAKS OF THE FREEDOM EMBRACED BY THE HEART; WHEREAS THE MIND REMAINS IN BONDAGE TO THE INSTITUTION!
IT IS BETTER TO MOVE IN HIM, THAN TO BE A PART OF ANY MOVEMENT.
ALL 'TRUTHS' MUST BE FUNNELED BY THE FILTER OF FREEDOM!
FALLING IS INEVITABLE. LEARN HOW TO FALL!
Who or what do you “saturate” yourself with?
Psalm 39: 1-13 lack of communication.. here it says “he bustles about”.”My heart grew hot within me” (he held it in and it affected his inner self, his heart, was it literal or physical, was it emotional, probably) Then: “He bustles about only in vain”uh! This hits home for me. Am I bustling about? If I am it is only in vain, boy I have experienced this lately………..again, balance daily here::::::: We still have to work, care for families, cars, homes ect…only by saturating myself with Him, his people, his word, his ways, can I stay on track, doing it on purpose, purposeful…
If you need to boil it down…It is still about daily Balance…
People were so disconnected with other people.
They are in their own, stress their OWN little worlds, not affected or influenced escept by what they “want” to be affected by!
We as a society are moving away from relationship
“I live Cause you live in me” He is life itself!
The electronic age we live in (example of the play we saw, we will rock you)
TO SEEK HIM!? This is a constant ON PURPOSE..following after with intensity…..
(PSALM 40:16……
Proverbs 10:11 “The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life,…” let me be that fountain Lord, the fountain of life, just being a vessel for you to flow thru.
Ps 40:16 (may all who seek you rejoice & be glad I you)
Proverb 10:14 wise me “STORE UP” knowledge” (what am I storing up Lord?...)
Psalm 41:1 “blessed is he who has regard for the weak”. The Lord delivers him in times of trouble (this is one piece of communication and relationship
Communication as it relates to Relationship This is a huge point!
We must seek the Lord on purpose – Things we do on purpose take purposeful energy & time………………..
I will on purpose seek revelation, relationship, seek to on purpose communicate – it takes time & energy to do these things
What or who am I saturated with?

"My beloved spoke, and said to me: "Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away." Song of Solomon 2:10
There is a currant of God flowing through many believers, leaving the same thoughts in their heart and mouth. This currant is Gods love. His love captivates us, not only as His children, but also as brothers and sisters, all sharing one common denominator. I was blessed as one of my many sisters in Christ emailed me a dream she had. The dream represents love for each other as a family of believers but more importantly, the deep rooted, entangled, life giving love that Jesus has for us. Thank you, Joy, for sharing this beautiful dream.
DREAM of My Love – 3/23/08 – Resurrection Sunday
Soon, the wedding presents started to arrive. The village, also, was celebrating our wedding, and the gifts were so beautiful. I remember particularly that there was crystal stemware that was a beautiful ruby red with clear intertwined vine-like stems and pedestals. They were gorgeous. As one would arrive, we would unwrap it and just stare into each other’s eyes anticipating the day we would be husband and wife.
There came a day, and I don’t remember what happened, that it came up that I was older than he was in years. It was something we had never considered. Age had never entered into our minds. His father made a stipulation that I had to be younger than his mother, and if so, I could marry him. After waiting an agonizing length of time, we discovered that I was older than her, for I was born June 23, 1952 and she was born June 29, 1952. Just six days…The crushing news came to both of us as his father said, “I am so sorry, you cannot marry her right now, son.” His grief was real, as was his mother’s and the whole family. It was the most awful moment in my life. We had to wait for a long time until it would be ok to marry. (I know it's goofy, but its a dream!)
At the time the father came to tell us his decision, (this is really hard to describe) my love and I were sitting facing each other. There was a wooden chair between us, with no seat on it, just the wooden frame. (The back of the chair was to my right – his left) His legs were over the edge of the chair – feet on the floor, and my legs were over my edge of the chair and my feet were on the floor, our knees were touching and we were holding each other’s hands, facing one another.
I remember that when the father told him he could not marry his bride, he hung down his head. I wish I could explain the agony I felt between us - such a deep, penetrating grief inside him that I felt in myself! He shook his head and said, very slowly and with great effort, “Father, I have obeyed you in everything I have ever done, but I just don’t think I can obey you in this.” He was willing even to leave his father and his family for me, which was unimaginable. I couldn't believe that he would choose me over his father and family, yet he carefully considered and was making this choice. His love for me was so passionate and so complete that he could not live without me, and I felt that I could not live without him.
I woke up - End of Dream (ARRRGH!!!)
