Let Them Go Around

Holy, Holy, Holy One, I speak with a heart in need and I rarely know how else to come. 

I see You as so High, so Abundant, with the Tap of a Toe a whole mountain crumbles.  With just a Glance of Your Eye all Creation stands still. 

And within me, within me… You, You Who Builds the Layout for today’s Projects;

You Placed within me a ‘Need’

to understand this, to want this answered, to have Who You Are Strong and Operating from my heart.  How does this

Raging Need

happen without my heart in a speed I think I should go? 

This morning in early devotion time, I could hear Your Love Cautioning me to Slow Down. 

SLOW DOWN??? 

I don’t understand.  Slow down how and in what area? 

Where is the Speed Limits Posted?   

Today is a journey with the end results of either finding or wasting the Precious Moments of Your Rainbow Encircling the Realm of my steps. 

The dream You Gave me this morning is so worthy of note. 

I was in a large vehicle on a scenic road. 

I was stressing to keep up with the traffic before and behind,

and then I heard Your Sweet Voice say,

Let them go around.  

Oh Holy God, who Wants me Close, I hear Your Suggestion but I wonder, why? I hear You Reminding me of Your Cargo I am carrying; to be Careful for I do not travel alone.  Take the Corners Carefully and do not miss the Purpose of the Trip. 

My Sweet Beautiful Father, who Sees me and Reaches Out to Give Advise so that You can Change dull flavorless water to Rich Flavored Wine.  One Who Travels to the events of my raging needs and Amazes the eyes of many through one; I slow to the Traffic Officer Bidding me Directions, for past Obedience has Uncovered my blurry eyes to  catch a Glimpse of Your Glory Gained that still Gives. 

Today You Declare a Slow Day Designed to let the traffic pass.  What an Especially Different Coaching of my footsteps that obey my heart. The Order of the Day so that all my raging needs are met and

I Witness Your Glory in Unspeakable Measures. 

Intoxicate my soul with Your New Wine as I Slow Down my hurry to enjoy the Festivity Given and surrender to

let them go around

for Jesus is in my vehicle and Wants to Show me Things. 

So be it,

I slow with excitement!

(Message Bible story or water to wine) John 2: 

^6-7Six stoneware water pots were there, used by the Jews for ritual washings. Each held twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus ordered the servants, "Fill the pots with water." And they filled them to the brim.

⁸"Now fill your pitchers and take them to the host," Jesus said, and they did.

^9-10When the host tasted the water that had become wine (he didn't know what had just happened but the servants, of course, knew), he called out to the bridegroom, "Everybody I know begins with their finest wines and after the guests have had their fill brings in the cheap stuff. But you've saved the best till now!"

¹¹This act in Cana of Galilee was the first sign Jesus gave, the first glimpse of his glory. And his disciples believed in him.

James 5:7
Meanwhile, friends, wait patiently for the Master's Arrival. You see farmers do this all the time, waiting for their valuable crops to mature, patiently letting the rain do its slow but sure work. Be patient like that. Stay steady and strong....

Tangled In The Storms

Papa God, I am coming as a child and a parent today.  I see myself as a child before Your Mighty Hand and then as an adult on earth, I am a parent of many and find my family so

tangled in the storms. 

Like me, we are scrambling to find each day’s comfort and avoiding all the storms we can.  I know only to ask You to Save us when we get caught in a storm that blows us aside and our eyes have become fixed on the storm rather than the need to run to the Shelter of Your Arms.  Papa God, You are the Daddy that with just a Finger moves the sky from dark to light no matter what it appears.  You Breathe and we catch the warmth of summer on a cold chilly evening.  Come to my aid, for my heart gets

tangled in the storms,

or what I think is wrong, rather than Your Son Shining while I wake to each moment. 

Untangle my thoughts,

Untangle the relationships for myself and my children as You change our conversation that Pushes back the enemies stumbling blocks.  Place us Safely in Your Shelter as the

lightening of anger only makes noise

but does no harm.  Cause the hail that wants to break our backs Melt before it ever comes close as we Display Your Love upon us. 

As a parent, I cover us with the

Power of Inheritance

Handed to me through the Son of Man, the Son of God,

as I attach the Worth of His Eternal Name,

Jesus,

to our Territory on this earth.   

I pick up the Responsibility Given to Carry on Jesus’ Plan in my family as I fight with His Might to Lock the Doors that would give the enemy entrance. 

As a child of Your’s,

I take my warrior’s armor and lay it down

to pick up the five stones and declare victory as Your Name’s Sake will Sound eternally by the Song within our hearts for You.  

I call for the War of Your Love to have Ground

in my family to reunite the broken pieces and

Gather us and Set us on Foundation of Safety in this storm. 

As His Light burns within the hearts of my family, darkness and storms have no substance.  Jesus, Your Work be done in my family as You Untangle us from the storms.

I stand at Attention…!

Gasping For Love

Found in the Sounds of Morning is the Rain of His Glory Trickling down the very yearnings of my heart for I am

gasping for Love. 

My thoughts wonder about, scattering to frantically find His Song to Meet my challenge for Wonderous Intimacy Favored with the Fruit of His Spirit. 

Love spills forth in search as my heart runs to all our

Favorite Places

to dare see if it should be nearby.  

I fumble with my own pursuit

for I know not how to request this visit without the concentrating of my fainting heart.   

I feel fragile; as if without This Love I die. 

I can not seem to un-focus upon my heart beats of irregularity.  Sharp is the pain that bites my soul as the wind of disappointment tries to speak its worry.   Hopelessness is waiting around the corner to catch me if I go its direction.  Despair whispers its haunting signals as it lingers to observe a possible fall. 

I am powerless to lift my eyes while

gasping for Love,

so I close them

to concentrate upon

His Face I Adore.  

There He is, my Love, my Wonder. 

There He is in a dark place. 

There in the trembling of my soul’s weakness, He Instantaneously Unites with my Reflection, and Voices His Love Promise from Ultimate Purest to be Absolute Always, never to leave me,

EVER! 

In a twinkling of an eye,

gasping for Love,

I found my Savior’s Enormous Force Smash my enemies’ lies and Rapture my heart to His as the Splitting of time was Instant. 

His Interruption of Devine Love Raining in His Glory, I was Caught up by His Radiance in a dark place.  His Illuminating Abundant Elegance was Mighty in Supply as my eyes closed to faint in the misery of my own chase;

Love Surprises me with His Unbroken Promise,

Firm Reminder I am Safe,

Sturdy;

for He is Complete Dependability.   

So I Dance with Love’s Romance

and find Continuous my morning’s Rain.  For I was

gasping for Love

and the Rescue of Love’s Promise Caught me.

Hebrews 13: …5,6…

…for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]

So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]...

Love Hunts For My Heart

Father, my heart has burst with Your Love. I struggle in my own desires to worship You. I long so deeply to see Your Face in the Secret Place where time has no meaning, we just are.  I want to speak and hear.  I struggle and the Wonders of Your OKAY comes…

Matthew 4:10 Jesus' refusal was curt: "Beat it, Satan!" He backed his rebuke with a third quotation from Deuteronomy: "Worship the Lord your God, and only him. Serve him with absolute single-heartedness."

So I step into a Space where You Fill me with the Surroundings of Your Trust; jumping out into unknown to the Solid of a Rock beneath my feet.   My eyes strike out to find and my ears reach to hear as I embrace a Longing that Entices me to Search, walk around, see the Sights of Amazements.  As Your Wing Beckons to Equip me with a Foundation to Fly for the escape of my soul, I allow my heart to take hold and declare to all else, ‘Rejoice, oh my soul… for the Gift of His Wing has Come.’  The Air made of His Grandeur Bids me to Admire the Magnificence of His Splendor as I move about in the Weight of His Love Lifting me to His Brilliance.   I catch a glimpse where I experience Sensation as I observe Strong Hunger Developing within and I become slain to a New Appetite.  Heavenly Love Forms and I stroke its Embrace and cuddle in its Atmosphere.  Love that Wants me; oh He Wants me with Great Intensity.  Wants me and I hear as

Love Hunts for my heart

for Love’s Sound is Piercing.  He Calls my name by the Desires He Started within me, Pressed Deep within my heart that inquires of such Ultimate Persuades from Love’s Passion.  I sing with enthusiasm for Love’s Life-Flow cause pictures of ordinary to become adoration of single heartedness toward the One I love.  My center of attention escapes my heart as I proclaim my weakness for His Irresistible Kiss upon my eyes for Him.  I have lost grip of worldly senses and insist of only feasting upon the Drink of Love’s Formations.  Designed by the Handiwork of its Nature, Purposed to Steal away any other craving and Establish It Self as Foundation for all remaining life.  I surrender to the Total of Love’s Purpose for me.  I surrender to the Wasting of my life to this Teaching as I ride upon the Wing that Beckons to Equip me as

Love Hunts for my heart. 

I lay to rest all resistance and allow His Love come Live in my heart as my only Savior and vow to accept His Request to Love me more.  I will take Love’s Nature as my own for it is all I want. 

Who Knows How We'll End Up

Lord,

excitedly I am looking this morning! 

Woke wondering where is the

House of the Lord today? 

As I got on the keyboard

and began to sing

this question

I heard myself sing in response,

‘I want to hear

Your Voice,

You want to hear

my heart.’

Knowing this is a Place

where Your Love Flows

and outside distractions seem to be

Directions rather than a hindrance,

it is such a wonderful

Place to be. 

As a child,

I remember waking

to the voice of my

mother

and she knew

 well

what she intended

for my day to consist of. 

Sometimes I got up with the

same heart

and sometimes I did not. 

This morning it feels as though

I am getting up with the

same heart

with just an eager question of

what (?)

is in store. 

How Sweet to read

Your Words

first thing this morning

after

having this conversation with You already. 

1 John 3:1-3 (The Message)

What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we're called children of God! That's who we really are. But that's also why the world doesn't recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he's up to.

But friends, that's exactly who we are: children of God. And that's only the beginning. Who knows how we'll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we'll see him—and in seeing him, become like him. All of us who look forward to his Coming stay ready, with the glistening purity of Jesus' life as a model for our own.

So I will run and play

in Your Love

as John describes us as the

'children of God';

for I take this very seriously. 

I have found the

House of the Lord

many times and it is filled with

Your Treasures

that cause me to be Transformed,

Changed

like a child watching their parent. 

I have seen Jesus there

as I sit under the

Roof of His Love. 

Running with others

to Wonder and Play in the Thoughts

and Teachings of His Power. 

So today…

well, today -

Who knows how we'll end up!

But I am enormously energized

with excitement of

meeting

Jesus Christ

for the Highest Treasure,

for I have

His Life

as an example to explore

and the BEST PART….

Oh yeah, the

Best Part

of today is…

that's only the beginning..! 

Who knows

how we'll end up!

Essence Of Your Name Slips From My Heart

How joyful my heart is this morning Lord.  How giddy I feel as I come into this new day, my birthday as You Call each day, as it starts so fresh, unlike the previous day.  I am rejoicing in Your Love today for the emotions of my soul takes on such variety from circumstances.  Oh my Sweet Lord, I must say that it is wonderful when all seems well and smiles are easy, but yet how amazing when the valley has swallowed me and You Reach low and Lift me to the Softness of Clouds and Kiss away my troubles, as the Song of Your Love Speak over me.  Oh Sweet Holy One, to only know Your Love as foundation for all Your Plans and Portion for me, I delight.  Together as the whole earth declares who You are today, I join with them with my praise for I want the very Essence of Your Name Slip from my heart all day long; intentionally looking for those Moments You Create.  Grateful that my steps are Ordered, I accept the Love that Comes from this Act of Mercy and voluntarily surrender with excitement to what it brings.  May You find me walking in faith as I speak Your Name Jesus, the very Name of Power that Began the Process of my existence, before time itself.  The Powerful Name that was/is/always will be a Character of Righteousness. Before I knew of its Miracle for me, before I knew of this Love that forever I will discover Marvels of, Your Name was Creating a Garden for me to walk and talk with You heart to Heart. Desiring me with such Passion that Whisper how You Want me... the total me!  Now I walk with the Knowledge that Your Holy Spirit Dwells in me; and as I listen and become more acquainted today, I will Gain more of You and less of me as this Pure Raises the Standards of my life.   What a Mystery!  Washing over me with the Secrets of eternal Astonishing Amazements!  There is no other greater place to be then in Your Soul Satisfying Mysteries Created individually for only those Owned by Loves Perfect Sacrifice.  Only to those who say they are no longer their own but have surrendered to the Paradise of this Powerful Love.  Waiting to feel, to know, to experience, to hear, to obtain all its Absolutes.  As this Wonder hits my heart with the explosion of Your Love Weighed of Presence, I carry it with glee that burns for more.  Baptize me in total consumption so that I bear the Name Jesus with its Power to Change and the very Essence of Your Name Slips from my heart all day long. 

Yearning to continue this look within the Heart of God I sing with a song I heard this morning speaking of the Holy Spirit (Fire) within me, the Glory of the Most High God…Oh God I SING...!

Come with Your Fire

Come with Desire

Come with Your Jealousy

Burning me, Burning me..!

Come be the Fire Inside me...!

I Cried. I Wept.

Oh Blessed Awesome God, I am so excited for today I have tasted such

Delicious Love!

It fills not only my mouth with Your Praise but my whole belly with Substance that Satisfies wondrous, deep lasting, cravings.  For in a dry and thirsty state I sat at an instrument I use to accompany me as I sang from the pain of a distraught heart. 

I remember often the story my mom will tell of my youth.  I went through a period of time as a teenager that I refused to cry.  I do not recall this very well but she has mentioned it often throughout my life.  In these years so cold to discipline and hardened to my own understanding of life’s tormenting struggles, I slightly remember vowing to stop crying as life hurt to much, so I did.  It broke her heart as she saw me dry up. 

This morning as my fingers made its way up and down a few simple keys on my keyboard, I began to hear You Say her words, “its okay to cry.”  Over again as the Softness of Your Plea came Rolling in, “It’s okay to cry.”  

I looked up to the Bible opened before me and saw a beautiful picture as I read Psalm 3:4  To the Lord I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy hill (NIV).  Suddenly I saw King David crying, literally crying with the tears that come from one broken and struggling to accomplish what seems to be so strong within his heart.   

I cried as I confessed I cannot give up my dream.  It pounds me hard night and day.  I cannot lay it down as it appears I must. 

I cried.  I wept. 

I shared my broken heart to Him, to the One that Delivers me from my enemies, even when the worst enemy is my soul.   As tears streamed from my eyes I began to sing in my broken voice as I cried like David cried, “Break my enemies teeth so it no longer makes sense to me.  Cause them to be jumbled words that cannot give utterance to my ears”

Psalm 3:7 Arise, O Lord! Deliver me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.(NIV) 

I continued to sing my cry against my enemy… ‘my thoughts that take me to misunderstand the God that I serve.  My yearnings that pull me aside and hinder my path that was Designed from His Love.’ 

 I cried.  I wept. 

I felt His Love begin to Pour.  I felt new Strength as I yielded to a cry of such deep pain.  I could feel something Rising inside so I sang from this Strength as David sang… “I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of thoughts that have spoken against me… no, not even tens of thousands of thoughts.  I will Rest. I will lie down and Rest.  For You Lord Deliver me from them all.” 

Psalm 3:5-8  I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.  …. From the Lord comes deliverance….(NIV) 

I am not going to give up.  I will set my eyes upon my Father.  My dream will not move so I give it to Him for I am Satisfied in His Love.  He will take my dream and Mold it to be the Delicious Love my heart craves.  It is in the Greatest of Hands.  For He will Mix and Match the Ingredients to Serve me a Delicacy fit for His Owned.  I look towards His Holy Hill as all its Wonders come rolling down upon my soul so dry and thirsty.  His Appetizers have Glory as it’s the Serving Dish and Filled is this Cup to the Order of my appetites.  I have been Taken to the Courts of Worship and my senses have Turned as His Delicious Love is Set before me.

He speaks as I found my fingers suddenly turning Pages of His Word to Sing back to me. 

Song of Songs 2: 4 All I want is to sit in his shade, to taste and savor his delicious love. He took me home with him for a festive meal, but his eyes feasted on me! (The Message) 

I cried.  I wept. 

His Love is Soaking into all my thoughts, Devouring all pains; and confusion no longer has any worth.  I ponder His Delicious Love as I do not want to waste a single Morsel.

He continues to Speak as again I turn to His Word to Sing back to me. 

Psalm 2:7 Let me tell you what God said next. He said, "You're my son (daughter), And today is your birthday. What do you want? Name it: Nations as a present? continents as a prize? 

I cried. I wept. 

My voice no longer has sound, only my fingers play as my heart Hears His Love.  I hardly know how to respond.  I did not understand so I asked, “How is it my birthday, Lord?” 

My heart tunes in to listen as I hear Him say, “Today is a new day I awoke you to.  Every day is your birthday for I make them Fresh and New each sunrise and you are my daughter from its start. Brand New to you. Now tell me your dream. 

I cried. I wept.

I begin to meditate on such a Word, my mind searches my heart to give Him my honesty and not my self hardened desires….?

Lord, I cry in sobs now,

 I want to be near my children.  I want to be next to them so I can be a part of their life but I cannot tell if it is Your Plan. 

I cannot get out another word. 

I cried. I wept.

As If He Knew that would be all I could say, He Responds.…

You are closer than you know. 

You are so much closer than you realize. 

I cried.  I wept. 

Tell Me, He asks again…Tell Me about your dream.

With Renewed Acceptance I began to sing as I heard His Love and Understanding and no condemnation….I knew there was so much more to my dream than I had imagined so I searched my heart. 

I sang loudly as the Spirit within me Gave Truth…! ”

Lord, I want my children to Know You the Way I Know You. I want them to be Close to Your Heart as I am.  I want them to have Your Life within them." 

I cried.  I wept.  

His Gentle Understanding begins to Fill my heart, My Daughter, He Calls me, I have seen your dream and I have Known the Meaning as you have ran to its call.  For your desire to be near Your children is Me wanting to be near your children.  Me wanting to live in their lives.  Me wanting to be at every event.  Me wanting to Love them with Passion I cannot contain.  You are walking out my heart and I will Fulfill this Love for you.  Give me your hand and we will be a Song of Love. 

I cried. I wept. 

He Holds my dream as His Own.
