The Roar in the Whisper
Have you just been blown away by God? Not by a happening or circumstance, like answered prayer, though I love that as well. No, I mean something different, something simple and yet profound. So profound that it shakes you at the core of who you are...so deep that you tremble at the possibility that it could be true. When the deep of your spirit and your renewed mind begin to comprehend what human words fail to convey. I am having one of those moments, where my knees shake and my heart pounds and it happens with only a whisper from Him.
It comes in times where there are no distractions, just me and Jesus, alone. When an honest heart is what He asks for from me... no titles, no facades, none of man's excess. Just me and Him and His words roar in a whisper...
I Love You Son...Relentlessly...Radically...Eternally...Without limits...
Yeah, this is my God. And with only a whisper.
There is something that God wants you to know and He is waiting to tell you...just you and Him, alone.
God bless.

God and the snowman
OK, so I am finding that writing a blog is not as easy as I thought. It's not that it is hard mind you. It is the fact that I have to sit down and do it that is perplexing me. I need technology that I could just think of what I wanted to say and it would type itself. That would be progress...
There are times, especially now that I find myself so busy that I miss out on the joys of life. The simple things...the moments that as adults in a hectic world we seem to forget or relegate and discard to the place of obscurity as if they are nonessential and yet...so very needed if only we could find the time to appreciate them. We push them to the backburner because of school, work, family, sickness, doubts and the list could go on and on. More urgent things seem to be calling to us all the time.
Have you ever watched children playing? Or heard their conversations when they are alone? Have you ever counted how many times they laugh in a day? And at the silly things they laugh at? For the most part, they are all positive moments that make even us serious adults smile as we watch them. They seem to have a grasp on something that has slipped through our fingers or just beyond my reach too often in my own life. The odd thing about my life is I KNOW so much more TRUTH than my kids. I Know that God loves me with an unending, revolutionary love. At least... I think I do. But I sure do seem to worry more than I should. I Know that God has my life mapped out and has given me this unbelievable future with Him. But I sure do get anxious when things are outside of my control. I have learned to say the right things but have I learned to truly believe the right things? I have scripture verses for every circumstance and can spout them off when needed but all too often I wonder if they have actually been established in my life. Am I doing instead of being?
The other day my 4 year old came to me with a picture she had drawn. She is the creative type so it is always an adventure to see what she has come up with. This time she approached me and said," Daddy, I made you a picture." I looked at it and it was a stick figure holding onto a hand that was coming from the sky. I asked her what it was and she said,"It's God holding onto the hand of my snowman." I laughed and she was so pleased with my response that she made me 5 or 6 more pictures. Same picture, same expression. A hand from heaven holding the hand of the snowman and the snowman was always smiling. Smiling. She knows something that I so quickly forget. God loves me and I am His friend. He will never leave me or forsake me.
My 4 year old just preached to her Daddy one of the greatest messages that he will ever hear and will never forget. The Bible says that we too must become like little children in order to receive. Today, may you remember and never forget the truth of the smiling snowman and may you cling to the one who loves you and died for you. Thank you Jesus. God bless.

Breathe on me
Here I am, Lord, I'm yours; ready for more I seek you. My soul cries out just to know you - to know the heart of the One my spirit adores so. I don't care what it means; I don't care what I have to leave behind... just let me see you! There is nothing else that matters to me, nothing else could ever come close to filling the well deep inside of me... so breathe. Breathe deep, full breaths of your Spirit into me. As your life flows within me, let me still long for more! Stir this passion, Lord! I can't live the same tomorrow as I have today... I need to be changed! Let me walk with you until I am no more, as Enoch. Let me see your glory, as Moses. Let me dance freely in your Presence, as David. Let me abandon all I know to follow you, as Abraham. Let me walk unafraid through the fires of persecution, as Shadrach, Meshach and Abedego. Let me stand in the gap for my generation and intercede for my people, as Daniel. Let me go wherever you lead without turning back, as Ruth. Let me live each day in your purpose, as Esther. Let me offer my best to you always, as Abel. Let me never question your ways, but be content in all circumstances - both good and bad, as Joseph. Let me stand in the face of the enemy with boldness, as Deborah. Let me be the one to stand for you, even when others are afraid, as Caleb. Let me choose to jump in and chase after you - even after I've sinned, as Peter. Let my mouth always speak your Word in boldness and truth - not worrying about how popular or unpopular it is, as Jeremiah. Let me sit at your feet, as Mary. Let me lay my head on your chest in intimacy, as John. Let my voice never cease to speak of you, as Paul. Let my life always bring you glory... as Kristen, your daughter, your beloved, your friend and your masterpiece, forever. Here I am Lord, I'm Yours.
Breathe on Me Lyrics: John Waller Music: John Waller and Matt Adkins
Hover over me
fill me spirit, breathe on me
I want to walk in signs and wonders
I want to speak with tongues of angels
Breathe on me
sprit I receive
empower me to be your witness
rest on me and Jesus let me see
even greater things than these
when you breathe
Let me bind up the broken hearted
I want the world to see your power
I believe, I receive everything you have for meLabels: breathe on me
