Don't want to go out there... 04/07/2009 06:13 p.m. leave my fan club? They're on THIS side of the fence... A rant about my Glendini...AKA Glenda the goodwhich I am currently Cool I am listening to nada Comments (0) Sunday with no sun. Yet... 04/05/2009 03:56 p.m. Our tadpool is full of tadpoles. This pole or that pole will be a frog one day. I've been hearing mom and dad ...asking I don't know. Have you seen it out here? It's a definite increase in life. You can't stay in your little pool forever or you will die. I gained bragging rights in the family and our friends. Nobody else could coerce him out there on the field. Not coaches or parents (even grands!) or friends... ... time to check tadpole status...I am currently Affectionate I am listening to frogs and squirrels and birds Comments (1) Four ruling Six 04/05/2009 04:20 a.m. It's a wonderful day when the four year olds rule field six. Stupid camera batteries would die with no warning. Harrrumphhh I'm wiped out. Gage is living his legend of every bit of 18 pounds. The weather is wonderful and was wonderful for their first game. We're all reveling in the cool. It just won't last much longer. We even reveled in the fire in the firepit on the patio in perfect comfort. Spring has sprung and it is young.I am currently Tired I am listening to night sounds Comments (0) Beautiful in the eyes of 04/02/2009 04:06 p.m. this beholder... My favorite gallery of hers: http://jvcartworks.com/gallery3.php Wave of power and Wave of glory... I've seen these things too but have only tried to draw it with words. Such beautiful art, fit for a King of Glory.I am currently Blessed Comments (0) Three floors 03/29/2009 06:53 a.m. Three floors high I sit rocking in the wind in Atlanta. It took an hour to get from the lake on HWY 49 to my house Friday. The destruction to our city is massive. I sat there in my car and cried for my city. I cried out to God for our city. We have been humbled. I thank God for the breeze of His spirit even when He chooses to blow like this. Such a blow. Tonight's prophecy was another wind. It's a windy season. In my 44th year of life, I see our 44th president be a black man. How awesome. I pray for him to get Godly wisdom. Nothing less will do. What a beautiful time we spent tonight, just worshiping the windmaker. We were tending our sails. It was another hilarious service. I love the laughter in the love He inhabits. It was unbelievable. The dancing was like David's around the ark of the covenant. To be given at His hand, the privilege of our praise to take the vacant spot Lucifer opened with his fall over His throne is beyond my comprehension. I saw the eternal now of it changing to lightening and thunder. Certainly it is all His doing. Mankind cannot aspire to reach such a place for our praise. And some people really don't even realise there is a God. How can this be? Such extremes in polarity. So many diagnosed with bipolar disease of the mind. More extreme in polarity and according to the prophet it's going to get worse. The buzzards will be coming, are coming, to the dead. While we are borne upward on eagle's wings above the reach of the snake. Only He can carry us there. We don't have the wings for it, but why would I want any wings I could make when I can be carried on the wings of The King? More change is on the way. What joy! May the hope of His favor and the joy of His love be present with us always in all ways and spread to the ends of the earth. Even so, Come, Lord Jesus! We adore you.I am currently Awestruck I am listening to More winds for flying Comments (0) Winds been blowing 03/27/2009 12:20 a.m. The news is awful. I am ready if another blows tonight-. Had one of the finest last meals 2 be had. I am currently Affectionate Comments (0) Catastrophic event 03/26/2009 02:09 p.m. in my hometown of Magee early this morning. Blessedly, not even any limbs down from the pines in my yard and even David's tent was still sitting there untouched. I still can't wrap my mind around the extent of it all. The new water treatment facility was totally destroyed, Hwy 49 shut down completely in a couple of places, one in Magee one in Mendenhall, from power lines and trees. Still haven't heard from Jarrod or Kim but I'm firmly believing no news is good news and Ken's daughter traveled in from Raleigh and said out that way it was ok. 18 -20 people treated at teh hospital in Magee which is on emergency generator power, seven or eight people sent on to UMC in Jackson, one critical, one serious. One lady was ripped from her home and thrown into powerlines where she hung there tangled. Lord, remember mercy for all. Please Jesus, remember mercy to the suffering and show me what you want me to do to help. Thank you, thank you thank you for keeping my family safe. Thank you. Please help all involved in the search and rescue and help the victims, Amen.I am currently Stunned I am listening to a Newsboy song still playing in my head Comments (1) March two four, to fore 03/24/2009 04:07 p.m. It really shocked me. I don’t know why, considering the range of strangeness in his life after we received the impartation at the last gathering. I don’t feel like a dove. I don’t look like a dove. Maybe I love like the shadow of a dove though and that’s why I’m drawn to these events in hopes of becoming the substance instead of the shadow… He’s scared. I guess I would be too. Even after all the range of strange I encountered after it, I’m not scared. Probably just another case of stoopid in my thought life. I’m ok with that. Don’t suppose I’d know life any other way. Wonder if that’s why he’s having these strange physical symptoms… I just don’t know.

I feel like a little kid myself, so excited. They're going to get him a glove and probably his own bat... Kim's going to try to get off early so she can come watch (and bring Gage, as per Nana's orders, lol) I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! Aaaaaand, I get Logan for the weekend! Bet we'll be practicing in the back yard... Well, I get him if there's no more practices over the weekend. Hadn't thought about that... I CAN'T WAIT!!! I LOVE T-BALL!!!! I'm over halfway through a book... whoa... what a book. A million little pieces by (can't remember if it's james or thomas) Frey. Oh. My. God. I think Kara must've loaned it to me and I stuck it in the headboard with the sliding door,closed it and forgot all about it til she called the other day about a book of poetry I'm quite certain I already gave back to her. Must be another God thing. No telling how long it would have been there, forgotten, if she'd not called. Whoa. It's heavy heavy heavy. Reminds me of a pathetic poet. And then this word from Kathie Pelton... boy oh boy oh boy... Remember...Don't Light Your Own Torches! "But now, all you who light fires and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your fires and of the torches you have set ablaze. This is what you shall receive from my hand: You will lie down in torment." Isaiah 50:11 Ten years ago, I was going through another difficult time. During that time God was walking me through some deep inner-healing from issues in my childhood that were affecting my adult life. As some of the pain and wounds surfaced, I would attempt to find relief from the pain by trying to find my way through it on my own. Though I never made any headway in this effort, it did leave me with a bad case of insomnia that lasted for months. During one of these sleepless nights, I was searching the Scriptures for some comfort, when I stumbled across the verse in Isaiah 50:11. I immediately realized this was what I had been doing. I was lighting my own torch and trying to find my way apart from His light. As a result, I had lain down each night in torment. As I repented, things began to improve. Though they didn't change overnight, I began a process of allowing the light of the Lord to lead me through the darkness that I was facing. Now a decade later, though this is a very different circumstance, I am once again facing this truth. I cannot go back to walking in the light of my own torch, but I must wait for the Lord to lead our family through this dark time. Once again I find myself repenting for leaning on my own understanding. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. "Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline and do not resent His rebuke, because the LORD disciplines those He loves, as a father the son He delights in." Proverbs 3:5-12 He is Forever Faithful I have settled it: "I don't understand God's ways!" I have also decided that "God is forever faithful, even when I don't understand!" When He says that He carries me (and you), it is the truth. "There you saw how the LORD your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place." Deuteronomy 1:31 "He tends His flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart; He gently leads those that have young." Isaiah 40:11 He is our Father, He is tender, He is gentle, and He does not leave us without help. His children are being prepared to walk without roots of fear ruling in their hearts and lives. We must respond to His love—both the love that carries us and the love that corrects us. Join me in fasting from every action that is based in fear. Let us allow Him to pull up every root of fear that ushers us into controlling, manipulative and frantic behaviors. He truly is our peace and we must trust Him even when we don't see any light at the end of the tunnel. Don't light your own torch even when all you see is darkness. It is not dark to Him. "If I say, 'Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,' even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you." Psalm 139:11-12 We're in this together!
