I'm back....

I've been incredibly busy in some huge art projects around my little domain, therefore, it's been hard to find time to blog. Hopefully, I'll be back sometime over the weekend.......

Prayer Walking Shoes

Got some new 'prayer walking' shoes today but, if I walk from now 'til the soles are gone, I will not have even begun to thank Him for all He's done for me. He's mighty, He's phenomenal and He always shows up just in time to take us through the fire again. That's just another of the countless things I love about Him....He's an 'On-Time God.'

Cleaving

I spoke with a dear friend late into the night about issues which appear, through mere human eyes, to be overwhelming. I listened and listened and listened some more then, offered my simple thoughts..... Marriage is such a personal covenant that no one can stand outside of the relationship and see why we bond with that person. We must honor that covenant and understand that our spouse isn't running for office, therefore, he shouldn't have to meet every expectation of all our friends and family. If they strive for now until God comes back, they will never see what we see in the one that we love. To cleave is to stick together, a promise we make at the altar before the Holy One. And the real secret to cleaving is leaving. "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother...Mark 10:7. If we enter into marriage and still keep other options open, whether mental, emotional or physical, it will never work. We must leave those behind. When the tugging of adversity tries the bonds of the relationship, we will fall apart. We must leave and cleave to our spouse. We all rely on our wholesome and Godly friends but, it can be unhealthy to cleave to someone other than our mate for support. After God, our spouse should have more influence over us than anyone else. And it's not always just a matter of feelings. Roman 1:17 says. "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, The just shall live by faith." It will not be our feelings that heal our relationships, it will be our faith. Our feelings will flow in and out like the tide but our faith never changes.

Prosperity Is!

Life has no favorites. Rather, conscious people are people who choose to be self-determining. They are street-smart, have common sense, and do not believe in lack during good times or bad times. They know that the flow of good is as available to them as to anyone, all the time, because the universe exists and everything in it regenerates--always.
Most of us have grown up seeing, feeling and believing in limitation and have subconsciously assumed that that's the way it is and that we'll have to live with it. The truth is that we obtain in the outer world whatever we consistently picture in our mind.
Many people are so negative that they don't even know they are negative when they say, "I'll never have enough money, my job is my security, I can't afford it, I'm too young or old, I'm limited by my spouse or partner or lack of resources. And if only I had this or that, I could earn more, be more, do more and have more."
Security exists only in our minds. Security is not the dollars we have in the bank or invest in business or rental properties. Security is the thought we have in our minds. Security is a self-generated inside job....created inside the mind. In this incarnation, we exist behind the only eye-balls we will ever be behind and in the only bag of skin we will ever have. We must choose to be secure. As we increase the security of mind, we will choose work we love rather than work we do only for money. And the truth is that doing what we love will facilitate rapid self-advancement and probably higher earnings, too.
All the wealth in the world will not buy, nor be a sufficient substitute for love, family, spiritual fulfillment and the real satisfaction of having a meaningful purpose in life.
A consciousness that is not conditioned repetitively and positively to welcome prosperity and abundance automically repels them. Prosperity is! And if it's not for us, well, who is it for?

The Eye Of The Lord

The eye of the Lord runs to and fro about the earth and finds me even here....
