It's slippery but I wont fall




Hmmm... if Jesus is our example and He lived kinda homeless (in the worlds sense) how come we think we should be so comfy in our warm little (or big) houses, with a fire blazing to keep us warm and beautiful pictures on the walls (which are all painted decorator colors) and flowers growing in all the gardens? In the book of Luke I was reading that Jesus called on twelve people to help him out in spreading the "kingdom" here on earth. He also told them not to take anything for the journey, not even their walking sticks (staffs). Is He crazy? No food not even a change of clothes (now I would really have a problem with this one). And also NO MONEY!!!! Ok so one morning I wake up and this friend of mine says "Terry I need you to help me out. I am going from town to town (on foot) talking to people and meeting all their needs and I want you to come with me. I will teach you how to use the power My Father gives to all that hook up with Him. Now keep in mind that recently news has spread that your friends cousin just had his head chopped off for hooking up with this friends Father.

Point being, it matters not what the task is at hand if I'm holding the hand of my friend Jesus. I know I wont slip or fall because He's got the hand of the FATHER. Holding on to Him I stay connected, and secure. I know He has always had a plan for my life, because I am His and my heart is toward Him. I want to walk along the sea of Galillee and get into his boat and row to the other side where we feed  many starving people. I want to lay hands on those suffering, commanding the diseases to leave their  bodies.... I want to walk hand in hand with my savior. Give me your eyes to see all YOU see, and a heart that desires what you desire, and willing feet and hands to walk connected to you. Amen

Scripture references: Luke 9:1-17 Jeremiah 29:11-14

A Threatening Storm

  A Threatening Storm What appeared as the greatest storm I'd ever face was upon me! I heard the Dr.s voice saying well there wasn't much clarification in the cat scan about that lump in the back of your throat but there's a lot of notes about what did show up... You have a meningioma tumor on your brain........ I immediately went into shock as I really never thought I would ever hear that word again in my lifetime. You see my former husband had suffered twelve years with a meningioma brain tumor and it finally took him home to heaven. So with uncontrollable tears streaming down my face I really didn't hear much more except he would schedule me for an MRI and an appointment to  see a neurologist. I left his office completely numb and in total disbelief of what he told me. The next day the imaging office called and scheduled my MRI, and on and on it went with tests, appointments, followup appointments, other specialists with more imaging and when we got to the final appo

Reset  Who is this one? Look at her now! She arises out of her desert, clinging to her beloved... Lord Clear my spirit of the invasion of my soul and it's soulish, selfish ways. It  seems to be my default. Your ways Lord, your high and lifted ways, seem unreachable this morning; and then you whisper, "It's the distractions of everything around you that wants to carry you away from my presence." "I know Lord, I'm fighting to stay, to surrender it all." Then I remember, this battle is yours not mine, this battle to just be still in your arms. "Oh my beloved, how can I live in this torn up world and not be distracted by all the noise?" Take me away my bridegroom King, set me atop the mountain of your heart, deafen my ears, and reset the default of my heart to your voice alone. The Bridegroom King 5)Who is this one? Look at her now! She arises out of her desert, clinging to her beloved. When I awakened you under the apple tr

The Miracle and Gift

  The Miracle and Gift Even the very first Christmas was a very busy time... Bethlehem Joseph and Mary Shepherds Angels and more angels Everyone was in the hustle and bustle of registering for the census, not even realizing the most amazing happening on earth was about to take place. Traveling to their destination of Josephs hometown to register for the census, Bethlehem was buzzing with people crowding the city streets. Angels hastened down to earth to a shepherds field  Shepherds hastened off to see Let's hear Luke's account... "An angel stood before them in the middle of the night..." (it seems babies love to come in the middle of the night) first blinding them with light and then more angels came and a   concert began ! Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, toward men.  Although Christmas is still a very busy time, not many seem to want to hear the account of the  multitude of heavenly hos
