The Life

I was wonding about the life i live , and it came to me that if i am to live for Jesus i must do it to the best of my ablitiy. I say that because it would be foolish to live for God then die, and on judgment day God says i never knew you. So I'm going to strive to live the life that He has called me to, so that i will hear him say well done daughter it's time to live the LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finding Myself

Through this rough journey called life I had the opportunity to find myself. I was stuck between two worlds not being able to distinguish truth from a lie. I wandered aimlessly through deserts and flat lands trying to find me but to my dismay I never found myself.
So many times life throws some curve balls and fast balls but it is up to us to hit that home run and gain the victory. This is what my life has been like for the past year, a journey to find myself. I believe that every day I get closer and closer to the real me the one that God destined to be. I never really realized how much was blocking me from me but I'm glad that I have come to the realization that it is time for a change and nothing can stop me from moving forward.

Love

Today I was confronted with my biggest fear and that is love. All before many have asked me why do you have walls in your life what is the root of it. I just did not understand because I was so locked up that I could not see my own self. That's a very scary place to be because you can't see truth , you can't see Gods truth about yourself, and you only see your truth which is a lie when compared to God's truth.
Yes I can admit I do have many issue in my life but now I understand the root of my lack of love it's all just a crazy mess. But God is continually helping me understand what love is and he has given us such a good example in 1Cor.13:4-7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Sometimes in life people can warp your view of what love trully is and it's up to you to see pass the junk and have a taste of what love really is................

Shakespeare Sonnet 18

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou growest; So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
William Shakepeare
(1564 - 1616)

Mantles Are Caught Not Taught!!!!!!!!!!!! 05/27/07

The tile that is presented here was inspired by my pastors message on yesterday I was truly blessed by it.of course he came from 2 Kings the second chapter I was truly in awe at the words that he began to to speak about Elijah and Elisha. Elisha was such a loyal servant to Elijah and what a shame it was when it was time for Elisha to pass on his mantle and he had no one to pass it there to pass it to.I think about today in the churches and I say to myself are there people willing to walk so close to the man of God never leaving his side for a moment,desiring a double portion of what their man or woman of God had on his or her life. ( talking about the anointing) It's tragic because there are many Elisha out there today with no one to pass their mantle two, Why is that? do people not desire such an anointing.Well anyways I'm just talking I have so many unanswered questions when it comes down to all of this stuff I need to keep studying and reading.

Until next time Catch the Mantle!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Use Your Gift to Bless Others

So Mothers day is quickly approaching and I have to Honor them through that ministry of dance and of course that means I have to bust out my creative skills in order to choreograph a dance. I'm not complaining though this is something I love to do for God and it is very liberating for me.

Dancing for God makes me very happy.

Anyways I have to dance at the Mother's Day prayer breakfast and needless to say this is going to be hard because I want to pick a song that fit's the occasion to the "T". I always have trouble with that when I'm asked to dance, I never know what the right song is, it' has to be something that moves that heart of the people, it has to be inviting to the Holy Spirit. I think I have narrowed it down to about three songs. Two of the songs are by a dynamic singer and songwriter Kurt Carr, and the other song is by a true worshipper this young lady is awesome and her name is Kari Jobe. These songs have a lot of meaning to me and I'm sure they would have greater meaning to the mothers.I guess it's going to be for my mom and other moms so it' has to be good I want them to have a good memory of that day.I just pray that in the end I choose the right invite the Holy Spirit to come and dwell in the midst of the people, ultimately this is not about us or me but it is for the Glory of Him who called me and sent me and that is my heavenly Father.
Until next time.........................Catch the Mantle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
