The Weekend

This week went fast.
It's the last 7:30PM service at WOLC.
It starts at 7PM starting next Friday, May 1st.

Researching Family History

I like to research my family history. My sister's daughter came over yesterday. She was wanting me to help here on her father's side.

I found out some more for her. It's interesting to track down names. It takes time but it's good to know where our ancestors came from.

I am still searching. It's good to exercise the mind with mystery things.

Getting Mind Off The Past

I wrote this poem during the Lent season.
I was thinking about needing to move on from some things in my life. I've been there too long. So I was getting mind off the past.

Poem # 64
31 March 2009 Get Mind Off The Past
By S.A.B.

It's time to move on
Stop looking at past

That was once now gone
See good that can last

Bring insight to now
Forgetting some things

The Spirit shows how
A new song to sing

Learn to do next deal
Seek the LORD just ask

Focus on God's will
Get mind off the past

Thinking About How I Began Writing Poems

I can't recall when I started writing poems. I checked my oldest poem in my collection. It dates in the year 1988. That was a year after my sister in law passed away and a year before my father's passing.

But I can recall when I started writing or what got me interested in writing poems. I am not a good speller. English was not my subject in school. I actually failed an English class in my college years.

I like to write poems it ministers to me. It brings out inspiration in me. I can use my imagination as write.

I thank God for this gift that I have. May more things come so I will be inspirited to write in to a poem. May I continue to use this gift to bless others as well.

Into The Easter Season

I'm moving on into the Easter Season. I broke my fasting. I have control over the T.V. One of the things I gave up was watching what I wanted to watch for 46 days.

I learned some things through prayer and fasting. I need to do this more often. Not just during Lent season but throughout other occasions in the year.

I learned that God speaks to me in ways that I don't normally aware of when I am about my way of doing things. God gets my attention.

God is so good. He is an awesome God. Amen.

Easter Continues

I had a wonderful Easter Sunday. Happy Easter Monday! Pentecost is coming. The church's birthday 50 days after Easter Sunday.

I saw the sunrise on Easter Sunday. It was so beautiful to see. It was a cloudy morning but we were allowed to see the sunrise. Praise God!

This is my second poem of the Easter sunrise. It was an after though. I enjoy God's creation.

Seen In Those Clouds

Awaken one morning
Watching window sky

Not knowing what be
As the time went by

There appeared one cross
Then two on each side

With figures, I see
What thoughts Came to me

I set up amazed
Believing what seen

Clouds turn fades away
Another sense gleams

As light opens sky
Rocky wall about

As sunrise came up
My thoughts said a shout

Exploded in me
He rose from the died

Seen in those clouds
As it had been said

By S.A.B

The Garden Tomb

Awaiting to enter
The place where He once laid

Such joy inside of me
As I stand wait near by

Oh the honor to see
This Holy pericous site

Savlation death to life
Brings hope for all to be

The Garden Tomb still here
As for Him, He's risen!

By S.A.B.

Happy Resurrection Day

HAPPY Easter Sunday!

Thank You, JESUS for every thing!

Enter into the new life that God has for you.
Jesus is Alive!

I witness the sunrise. It was AWESOME! The sky was mostly cloudy. But we were allowed to see the see rise. Thank You, Father God.

I wrote a poem about the sunrise. I had a hard time finding the ending to this poem. I was comparing the Son rise to the sun rising each day as the reminder that Jesus rose from the died. There is no comparison.

Each day has the sun that rises and sets. We can have the joy in seeing one of God's creation when it's there. Each day is a new day. The sun rest each night. We rest for the next day. There is joy that comes in the morning.

Glory Be To God
By S.A.B.

Awaiting the sunrise
On a cold dawn day

So special to see
Easter morn display

The horizon far off
As clouds within

Seems so amazing
As sunrise ascends

The beauty surrounds
Such happy array

Colors of the clouds
Formed faces from rays

Such love came within
Jesus Christ, The Son

Glory be to God
Jesus, number One

Holy Saturday

It was a sad day when Jesus died on that Friday afternoon. What was there to do when the person who would save us from the rule of the Roman government? Sadness fulled the land.

God in Christ died at Calvary Hill. All seemed to be lost forever. What was there to do now?

Remember, Sunday is coming.

Poem # 82 During Lent
10 April 2009

On That Dark Day
By S.A.B.

What was it like
On that dark day?

Seemed all by lost
That was the way

A just man killed
That seemed so wrong

Jesus saw death
Was death the song?

But from that day
Life taken saves

He conquered sin
Satan the grave

All things made new
Victory how?

Jesus still lives
His Kingdom, Now!

Good Friday

Enter into this day.

Yes, it's the day remember that God died. Jesus really died on that cross at Calvary.
He entered into His kingdom. He was crowed King of The Jews.

Jesus did the Father's will. Jesus breathe His last at 3PM. He said...It Is Finished!

But that was not the end of the story....He was laid in the Tomb on that Friday evening. But that wasn't the end of this story...

Sunday is coming.

Passover

It's the season of unleavened bread. It's a Jewish feast. This was the day Jesus went to the Upper Room to have His last supper with His disciples.

I am thankful that I can go to our Upper Room. It a large room where many come and pray and worship God. There is a table there.

A table that is prepared for us. It's The Lord's Supper. I part take of communion when I go there.

Today's communion partaking is special. It's Passover. I can take the Passover meal with a friend.

Entering into the season of the cross. Taking up my cross and heading to Calvary's Hill.

The weekend that changed the world.

Sunday is coming.

Into New Year

It's a new year for me. I've been rejoicing in this new season that I'm in. I wasn't going to post things about my birthday. But I've changed my mind.

I see things in a new light now. Birthdays are important to me. I see that's a time to be joyful for what God has blessed me with.

I no longer fret over those who forget my birthday. It's a waste of my time. Also it steal my joy.

I've moved on past the things of the past. I see brighter and rewarding things ahead. I thank God for those who celebrate my birthday with me.

God is so good to place people in my life. I am so glad to be apart of the Kingdom of God. By the way, I had a GREAT Birthday!

Now standing at dawn
Just looking around

Hear train horn ringing
Those robins singing

Cool morning come clear
Feeling sounds sincere

That's new season cheer
Dawn, Spring is here

Spring is in the air.
The birds are singing.
The trees have buds on them.

Spring is coming.
Spring is springing into action.
Let it come on.

Some Prayers For The Easter Season

Banners Of Prayers For The Easter Season

Here are the 14 plus 2 extra banners that I copied from the Upper Room. It's similar to the one in March of 2007 blog that I posted. However, there are only 14 in the Upper Room this Easter Season '09.

Back in 2007 Easter Season it was call the Via Dolorosa...Experience the Way of the Cross Now through Easter in the Upper Room...

"Join in on an evocative and individual exercise marking the path of Christ from Gethsemane to Calvary. The path to the cross is a mirror in which we see aspects of ourselves that we avoid confronting because they may be painful to behold, but therein lies the means of our transformation." Here is what's on the banners. I copied them the best way that I could.

Stations of the Cross
In a desperate pursuit of God.
We are exploring the sacred mysteries of our salvation in Jesus Christ.
By Your cross and resurrection You have set us free.

The Communion Prayer and Jesus is Alive have been omitted in the Upper Room for 2009

1. The Garden
Jesus, we see You in the garden, praying in the darkness of night. Your anguished prayer is one of deep struggle with the Father's will. While You agonize over the Father's will and are strengthened to fulfill His plan, Your disciples, overcome with sadness, can do nothing by give themselves over to sleep.

O Jesus, wake us for our sleep. Help us to face life's difficulties. honestly, knowing that we can trust in God. Strengthen us in the time of our trials.
May our prayer always be an expression of all that we are, and all that we do. We love You Jesus; teach us how to pray.

2. Betrayal & Arrest
Jesus, as You wake Your disciples one who has not slept arrives with an angry crowd. Judas reveals Your identify to them with a kiss. His act of affection is a signal to point You out as the one who loves but is rejected by his own.

O Jesus, we are quick to greet You with affection in our prayer and worship But how often do our external words and actions conceal hearts that are easily turned from You. We love You, Jesus; help us to love You with all our hearts.

3. Jesus Is Condemned
Jesus, Your words are blasphemy to the ears of the high priest. He tears his garments, unable to see the presence of God in the one who stands before him arrested and accused. He can not believe in a God who, because of such great love, would willingly become so powerless.

O Jesus, we can be so limited in our vision. We find it difficult to look beyond our narrow expectations and see You as You are. Give us the grace to hear Your words clearly and to follow You in the truth. We love You Jesus; reveal to us what God is like.

4. Peter's Denial
Jesus,You told Peter that he would deny You three times before the cock would crow. He did not believe You. He swore that he would never deny You, and that in fact he was willing to died for You. Peter felt that he knew himself better than You knew him. But now as dawn approaches and the cock crows, he sees the truth.

O Jesus, we set out to follow You but then quickly turn, going our own way. We are afraid to acknowledge You in front of others, but You speak to us in the midst of our denial. We love You Jesus; keep us faithful to You.

5. Before Pilate
Jesus, Pilate perceives Your innocence, but the crowd insists on guilt. Hearing their persistent shouts, Pilate sets aside the judgement of his conscience, and the decision is made. He hands You over to be crucified.

O Jesus, how often do we let the threatening voice of the crowd overwhelm the voice of conscience? Fill us with compassion for the outcast and commitment to the truth. We love You Jesus; lead us beyond the crowd.

6. Crown of Thorns
Jesus, soldiers of an earthly realm mock Your Kingship, You are so powerless in their eyes, so weak, the ruler of a Kingdom that can not be seen, and therefore, must not exist. The treat You as a foolish imposer, caught in a lie.

O Jesus, how often do we look for the kingdom with the eyes of the world rather than with the eyes of faith? We forget Your promise that Your Kingdom is among us. Help us to see Your strength in our weakness, Your reign in our powerlessness. We love You Jesus; establish Your rule over us.

7. The Cross of Jesus
Jesus, like Isaac carrying the wood to the mountain, You set out with the wood of the cross. But unlike him You will not ask Your Father where the lamb is because You know You are the Lamb of the sacrifice. You now begin Your journey with the cross.

O Jesus, You carry a cross, which is given unjustly. You willingly bear the burden of our sinfulness and accept the cross of our guilt. There is not greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends. We love You, Jesus; help us to show this love in our lives.

*Communion Prayer
We do not presume to come to this Thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in Thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as together up the crumps under Thy Table, but Thou art the same Lord whose property is always to have mercy. Grant us therefore, gracious God, so to eat the flesh of Thy Dear Son Jesus Christ and to drink His blood, that we may evermore dwell in Him and He is us Amen.

8. Simon of Cyrene
Jesus, the torture You experienced at the hands of the soldiers left You weak. When You prayed in the garden that the will of the Father be done, an angel was sent to strengthen You. Now as You seek to fulfill the Father's will, He sends Simon to help You.

O Jesus, strengthen us on our journey. Open our hearts to the help You offer through the kindness of others. Open our eyes to the needs of those who walk beside us. We love You, Jesus; lighten our burdens.

9. Weeping Women
Jesus, after being silent,You speak. You turn the eyes of the women away from Your suffering and toward the destructive power of sin. You warn them not to shed their tears for You but rather for themselves and their children. If You, the innocent one can suffer so, what will be the fate of the guilty?

O Jesus, the wood is now very dry! Set fire to the world so that it might burn with Your love. Destroy all hatred, fill us with joy again. Teach us to mourn the way things are; show us the way they could be. We love You Jesus; weep for us.

10. Crucifixion
Jesus, Your suffering continues as nails are driven into Your hands, and feet and taunting, jeers are hurled at Your body imprisoned on the cross, Yet those who mock and challenge You, You offer no reproach, and only forgiveness and compassion for them in their ignorance.

O Jesus, how often we have acted as if the way of the cross were unnecessary and too difficult. We believe we know a better way, a way worn down by the crowd. We find that path goes nowhere. Forgive us; we do not know what we are doing. We love You, Jesus; by Your wounds heals us.

11. The Two Thieves
Jesus, two others are nailed on either side of You. One challenges You to release him, now; the other asks to be free with You in Your Kingdom. One sees only weakness; the other sees power and is able to trust in a promise of everlasting life with You as his time in this world comes to an end.

O Jesus, look upon us now. See us in our need and hear us as we cry out to You. Help us to trust You in difficult circumstances. Give us eyes to see Your power in hopeless times to see Your Kingdom in all we encounter. We love You, Jesus; remember us.

12. John & Mary
Jesus, You give Your mother to the disciple You love. Even as You face death, You entrust those whom You love most into each other's care. Your dying is marked by giving, and by concern for the ones who remain You do not leave us. as orphans, You have promised Your Spirit to Your Church and at the cross the Church is born.

O Jesus, help us see that we are the disciples You love, and You have given us a family of faith. We pray that we might allow the Spirit to give us life as sisters and brothers joined in mutual care. We love You, Jesus; make us one.

13. Jesus Dies
Jesus, the word spoken by the Father, You now return to Him, having accomplished the purpose for which You were sent. Your trust in the Father remains, even amid the dark clouds of death.

O Jesus, may we too accomplish the purpose for which we were created. Help us to commit ourselves into the Father's hands, to trust in Him, and believe in His love for us, a love that Your death reveals to us. We love You, Jesus; help us to die to ourselves and live from You.

14. Jesus is Buried
Jesus, now the time of surrender, of being at rest, begins. It is the seventh day when God rested from the work of creation. And You, the Son of God, rest and await the dawn of the eighth day when all will be made new and we wait with You.

O Jesus, teach us to rest. Deliver us from thinking that every thing depends upon our actions. Help us to be patient in trusting that God will bring about the completion of His creation through You. We love You, Jesus; fill us with Your peace.

*15. Jesus is Alive
Jesus with joy we view Your victorious wounds, help us to mediate on them and see in them the sign of victory. May they give us courage to go forth with Your blessings.

O Jesus, bless us with Your outstretched hands, give us Your peace, give us Your love. We love You Jesus; be with us as we go out in Your resurrection power to do the will of God in our lives.

I hope that you take part in this devotional experience. May you experience God in ways that you have never experienced before as you move into the Season of Easter. God Bless. JESUS IS ALIVE! And He is alive in me.

Happy March & 2nd Sunday Of Lent

Sweet Silent Communion
Happy MARCH!

On this First Mini Easter Sunday Of Lent Week: May we enter in and receive what the LORD has for us. Amen. Blessings to all who you are on the Lent Journey To Easter '09.

I still have my eyes pointed on my Journey To Jerusalem. I have a lighter load on my journey. I have been denying myself from some things.

I have been doing good.I have a small box that I look at from time to time as I am on this journey. It is a remember of some things that has shed some light in my thinking. I am glad that I have these items.In this small box there is a cross and small a rock.

I have 4 rubber bands around the box to hold the lid down. Also I have a nail between the top part of the see through lid under those 4 rubber bands.

The small cross has the word Jerusalem on it. The cross was a gift from a friend who went to Israel. The small rock is from the side of the "Rock of Skull" at Calvary's hill. I went to that hill on my journey of a lifetime to Israel.

The colors of the 4 rubber bands are red, blue, yellow and green. That represent the rainbow. It reminds me that God is in covenant with me and others.

The nail was given to me on Ash Wednesday. It is a reminder that on this Journey To Jerusalem '09 that I will die with Jesus. I die to self.

May you Have A Glorious Day and An Adventurous Week! Take care, God Bless.

A Book By My Pastor

A Book

I was out and about at Wal Mart. I was in the book section. Pastor Brian Zahnd's newest book What To Do On The Worst Day Of Your Life is $12.64.

I think that Solomon's Porch will have their copies on March the 6th. Pastor Brian will have book singing days on Friday, March 6 and Sunday, March 8 after each service.

I ran into a person I remember from another church. I spoke to her. I mentioned Pastor Brian's book she bought some copies. I finished the book earlier this week. It is an encouraging book.

Weather Issues In Life

When The Weather Is Bad
It snowed over night. We got between 4 to 6 inches of wet snow. So, I thought to post this on this site. It's from Friday, January 30, 2009 featured question.

What do you like to dowhen the weather is bad? submitted by the_original_Whatsername

It depends on how bad the weather is doing. I tend to listen to the weather to hear what's going on. Whether it's a server thunderstorm, tornado warn, heavy snow fall, Winter Adversary, or etc, I find some thing to do.

Once I determine things about the weather, I find things to do around the house. If it's not raining or a tornado watch, I will be on my computer. I would read or pray. I could watch TV.

I listen to tapes or the radio.If it is rainy, I would read or write in my journal. Some times I lay down. Resting and taking naps have become a thing for me.

Then there are times when the weather changes from cold to warmer. I have a hard time adjusting. It's like my body has jet lag. It takes me a while to adjust to the temperature changes.No matter the weather, there is some things to do.

The weather may or may not be good outside. That doesn't mean that everything stops because of the weather. I find some thing to do.

I remember the GREAT ICE STORM of 2007. We night and day. I found something to do beside try to stay warm. Thank God our sister had lights. We went to her house for about 3 days and two nights.

But when the weather is bad on the days I want to go to church gatherings, I pray too. So far we have made it to our designation.

The Easter Season

Upper Room Gatherings On Ash Wednesday
There were three gatherings for Ash Wednesday in the Upper Room. I went to the morning gathering in the Upper Room. It was GREAT! I wish that I could have made the NOON one.

I set apart that time to meditate on Matthew 21: 1-11. I was awaiting to be apart of the 7 PM gathering. The two gathering that I take part were WONDERFUL! The last gathering was AWESOME. I believed I have entered into this season of Easter.

We as the church should note the time of the season. We should sanctify time for the season that we are in . We are in the LENT Season to Easter Sunday. Our theme at Word Of Life Church for this Lent Journey is Journey To Jerusalem (With Jesus.)

Here are some scriptures during our Ash Wednesday gathering.Psalm 90: 1-17 ---We prayed.Matthew 16:17-28Matthew 17:22-23Matthew 20:17-28Matthew 26:26-29Gal 5:16-25John 11:16Matthew 26: 26-29 (We took communion.)

Prayed the Prayer of RepentanceWhy did Jesus go to Jerusalem? To be crowned and receive His Kingdom.There are 14 Stations in the Upper Room to pray through.

I plan to write them down as soon as I can. I plan to post a blog or a series of blogs on them. I don't know which.Some other revelation came to me today.

It's 46 Days Till Easter. It's 42 Days Till I'm that.... This mini good Friday will be 40 days Till. This is a very special season that we are in.

Also on this Journey To Jerusalem With Jesus...Have the attitude of Thomas....John 11:16... "Let us also go, that we may die with Him" ...and be raised with Him to the newness of life with Him in the resurrection.

I mean let us Deny ourselves. Take up our cross, Fast and Pray as we Follow Jesus. The fast is a partial fast. Some are fasting sweets, T.V. etc. Sundays are omitted for fasting. Sundays are for feasting.

Enter into the 40 Meditation (Scriptures Reading) ON THE Holy Week. (See Meditating ON Scriptures ON THE Holy Week post. I will post the other scriptures reference w!hen the time comes.)

I am excited about this Journey To Jerusalem With Jesus. Hope that you are too. Thanks for coming along the Journey with us. Resurrection Day is coming! Shalom.

It's 46 Days till Easter Sunday.

On My Journey To Transformation:

P.S.

We were given a nail as the reminder during this Journey To Easter Sunday. Let us also go that we may die with Him. May we see the reality of the resurrection as we come to Easter Sunday.

Lent Season

To A Magnificent Transformation

Happy Ash Wednesday! I have the opportunity to be in the Upper Room on this Ash Wednesday. There is a special service @ 7 AM, 12 PM, and 7 PM. All the set times will be the on the same in nature.

Yes! The Lenten Journey to Easter has arrived. I pray that we will be prepare our hearts for Easter. May our journey be a spiritual renewal of within. May we be transformed into a new birth on Easter Morning.

From the booklet: Living in the Kingdom

"Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."-- Matthew 11:29-30

Living in the Kingdom:

On this first day of the Lenten season, heart feels like a clean page, my life like an unopen book. I am open to all that God has to teach me today and in these next 40 days.I am ready to learn more about my spiritual nature.

I am ready for new understanding of the kingdom of God within me, and I am eager to live more fully in that kingdom.I prepare myself first by letting go of anything I've done that is less than my highest expression.

I forgive myself. Then I mentally ask others for their forgiveness.Next, I set an intention to take time every day for prayer. This daily appointment with God is important to me and to my continuing spiritual unfoldment.

In my quiet times of prayer, I open my heart to God with. I give my full attention to the quiet whisperings of Spirit in my soul.As I pray each day throughout Lent, I listen carefully for the message from the still small voice within me.

I surrender my will and open my mind and heart to new ways of thinking. feeling, and being.This Lenten season will be a wonderful experience. I listen to spirit to learn more about myself, and to live more fully in the kingdom of God.

A Confession:I surrender to God and open myself to magnificent transformation.

On My Journey Of Transformation:
To A Magnificent Transformation

I'm headed on the Journey To Jerusalem:
The Triumphal Entry / Scripture reading Matthew 21:1-11.

Living in His Kingdom,
~Susan~

In God (I will praise His word), In the LORD (I will praise His word), In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Psalm 56:10-11

Like the cold of snow in time of harvest Is a faithful messenger to those who send him, For he refreshes the soul of his masters. Proverbs 25:13

In A New Place

I am at a new place in the spirit.
I broke away from some things that I need to.

I took a while to see the new light of things.
I cannot see how it took me so long in getting here.

I guess it took a lot of rejection and no feed back to catch on.
It does hurt to see that it took this long to get here.

I can move on from the mistakes that I did.
I need to move on from the shame of what I have been witness.

It's as thought I don't exit anymore to some.
It appears that I am no here.

I know that God care more about me than I do myself.
He is the strength of my life.

I know that there will be always people who will disappoint me.
I have to get over that.

I can through forgiveness.
I believe that God will see me through,

Life has its turns.
I need to flow with the turns that come.

I believe that there will be some good coming out of what I have experienced.
God is a GOOD God.

I am thankful that Father God is my Heavenly Father.
I have no father on the earth.

I am thankful that God allows me to be one of His beloved daughters.
Thanks for being there for me always, Jesus.

New Journey

I am off to a new journey.
Things are much different now.

I have been reflecting on my journey of a lifetime.
I learned some things.

I have been thinking about my life.
Thing change from time to time.

There are seasons in life when things must end.
I believe that there are a few things in my life now that have ended.

I have to turn from what this was and move on.
Life has turns and challenges in the making.

I may think that things are right for me, but they are not.
I am thankful that God does not give me everything that I ask Him.

I am learning that I need to grow up.
I am changing in doing some matters in life.

There are things that I thought that I should pursue.
I think, I hit a dry spot.

Jesus is the only water that can quench my thirst.
I need to stop looking at others for only what Jesus can give me.

I repent of such wrong thinking.
I turn away from what I use to do.

Even if I have to leave some things that I love.
I cannot keep doing things that's not good for me.

I have to truly mean what I say.
No matter what the cost is, I need to be serious.

Life is to be lived.
I need to look at life in a new way.

A fresh new start begins at sundown.
The dawn of the new day has come.

I need to look for other things in life.
I need to stop wasting my life on things that don't matter.

The season has been completed.
I must move on with what's ahead.

Father God,
Forgive me of what wrong I have committed.
Grant me the grace to make things right.

Led me in the direction that I should go.
Help me to see the good of what You have for me.

Allow me to be that blessing You called me to be.
In Jesus' name Amen.

The Empty Tomb

It was 10 years ago today that I saw the place where they laid our LORD.
I got the honor of walking into the tomb.

I was thrill that I did.
I saw some of the places that's in the Bible.

The Bible came alive to me.
I can see more in how things could have been.

The places where Jesus was while He was here on the earth in the flesh.
It brings things in to perspective when things are in sight.

I still have memories of when I was in Israel.
It was a journey of a lifetime.

I have not desire to return to Israel.
I thank God for the time that I went.

Thank You, Jesus.

Thanksgiving Week

It's the LORD's Day!

I hope that you will have a wonderful Thanksgiving week.
We need to count our blessings.

There are many things to be thankful for.
I am thankful for my health, my family and friends.

I am thankful that God loves me.
I am thankful for salvation in Jesus Christ.

I am thankful that I am alive.
I am thankful that God has a plan and future of all of us.

I am thankful that I can blog.
I am thankful for ideas that come to me.

May God grants us more to be thankful for.
Thank You, Jesus for dying for the sins of the world.

Moving On Up

It has been a week.
I have learn some things that I need to move on from.

I am wasting time in some areas in my life.
I need to be more alert.

I hope that I can let go of those things that trip me up.
I don't need to allow this to continue to happen.

I see that there are times in life that I need to just let things go.
Move on and just let it be gone with.

I pray that God will grant me the grace to do so.
Or perhaps I have the grace, I just need to let go and move on.

I should feel guilty about what I choose to do.
I just should do it.

May the peace of God guide may steps.
I am moving on with what God has for me.

It's Friday

I am happy that it's FRIDAY!
I have been thinking about my journey to Israel.

Today is Sabbath.
I get to go to church.

Better yet, I get to the Upper Room.
I hope that I can get to the Upper Room before sundown.

I remember in Jerusalem, people running to get to the Wall.
The Western Wall where the Sabbath prayer and things are.

It's a place that I have never seen like this.
People running to get there.

Would that be something if we would run to church.
Going to church before the sun set.

That would be something to do.
What joy I have today.

God is in the midst of things.
I pray that we will go with Him.

Things Changing

I sense changes coming.
It's been coming.

I see new things.
There are more people making comments.

I don't know.
Is it of God?

Or people really wanting to communicate with me?
I am moving along.

I don't know what to think of this.
Should I reply?

Will this be the only time those who comment speak?
Is it a one deal thing?

I decided to let the comments stand.
I don't want to reply.

I don't know.
I don't want to be hurt by things again.

I have come a long way.
I want to move on.

I am thankful that people did see something in what I shared.
I need to be humble and move on.

God is so good.
He is good all the time.

The City Of Jerusalem

It's my 10th Anniversary of my journey to the Holy Land. It was on this day that I saw a dream come true. I love the city of Jerusalem.

The place where I read in Romans 15:25. "But now I am going to Jerusalem..."Those words hit my spirit as prophetic words. It took 18 months to see this come to pass.

As I was in the bus we were going up to Jerusalem. I cried all the way to the hotel. I was seeing my dream come to pass.

I enjoyed all the days in Jerusalem.The first and last nights were special. I cried the last and morning that I left. I knew that I would not return in this life time. I was so thrilled that I got to go. God mad a way for me to go.

I am thankful that my desires to go came to pass. All things are possible to them who believes. May God grant us our hearts desires. May we see them come to pass. Amen

Poems

I have been in a season of writing poems.
It's been about less than a month.

I seen to flow with a thought.
The thoughts leads to words.

I tend to sing the poems that I write.
I have about 15 or so.

I need to finish up on some.
I try to express my feels.

I have experienced things in life.
Joy, sorrow and shame is some things that I have in my poems.

I hope that the LORD will birth in my words of encouragement.
I try to describe things as I go about my writings.

May I write some insights in my poetry.
May the LORD speak through what I write.

May God receive all honor.
May God use what He planted in me.

Been Thinking

Life is not all what I thought it would be.
There are some in my life that I thought were my friends.

Will, they don't act like friends any more.
I guess that I am not one their people to talk to.

It's like they don't know me at times.
I don't exist.

What am I to do?
I tend to not let this bother me.

But, now I have to decide on what to do.
It seem to be a waste of time in trying to communicate with some friends.

There are no replies most of the time in emails or comment on their sites.
It seems to be a waste of time in the pursuit.

I don't want to continue on this road of disappointment.
There is no communication on the other side.

It feels so sad when there is no feedback.
It hurts.

I can pour out myself by communicating.
But not have what it takes to meet my friends' input.

I think that I should just cease in communication for a while.
The other parties have no interest in what I have to share.

I see this as a release from things that once was.
It's a falling away from what is not good for me.

It's not good to have a one way conversation.
Am I talking to myself?

Is what I share boring?
Can there be any connection in what is?

I feel like it not worth the time anymore.
I need to go on with my life.

If some how the friends come to ask how am I doing?
I wonder if they really mean it.

There are many who rarely speak to me.
I need to face it and move on beyond where I am.

I have decided to stop asking others to be friends on 4 my web sites.
On two of them, it like I'm just there as an added person to the most.

May the LORD guide my steps in the way that I am headed.
May I meet good friends that I can relate to.

May we communicate with one another.
Thank You, Jesus for being my friend.

On Another Adventure

It's my 10Th year anniversary of a trip of a lifetime.
I am reflecting back on the journey.

I still have good memories of the journey.
I have no desires to return to the Old Israel of today.

I will return after the 2ND coming and things have been completed.
I am rejoicing over the fact that I went on this side of time.

Hope that things are coming brighter for you.
May the joy of the LORD continue to be with you.

May you draw from within the joy of the LORD.
Peace and Grace to you.

Have A GOOD Week!

Thinking And Rethinking

What a week this has been. I have learn some more things about people. In the process... I learned a lot about myself. In all, it has been a great week. I still had the JOY of the LORD.

I have been thinking and rethinking some things that I need to change. I was aware of something that I tend to do. It hit me like a ton of bricks. I should be more respectful in this area.

Man, I have seen the light. I see that there are some things that I know that I should not share with people. There are some who would not understand. Some may even get the wrong impression.

There were some things I heard this week that I knew about. I kept quiet about it. I just let my friends tell me what I alright knew. In the process of listening, I got to hear a little more that I didn't know about. It brought joy to me.

I don't have a lot friends. I mean friends that I talk to on a regular basis. However, I see whenever my "circle of friends" grow, I need not to share things as I use to.

I have to get know the friends that are added in my "circle."There are some issues of life that I can be open to with a few friends. I am more comfortable with them. Besides we go back a long way. It's not just a Hello! How you doing conversation. Good friendships takes time to built.

Thinking and Rethinking...
When I don't understand things I tend to wonder.I should not question things I don't know but trust God

More Changes In Life

It's another weekend.
I sense a change in things.

Life has to change.
Our thinking need to readjust at times.

That's apart of life.
It was stay the same all the time things are boring.

May wisdom come as we go about our lives.
May God change us into what He wants us to become.

Blogging 2 Years Today

It's another mile marker today.
I have been blogging for 2 years.

I didn't know I have been blogging that long.
It seems much longer.

I have posted over 1150 blogs on my Xanga site.
There are some private and protected blogs not public.

I have left a trail of blogs over this journey.
I don't know what lays ahead for my in blogging.

I will continue to blog.
I love to record things in my life.

There are some things that I tend not to write about.
I am recording some of my life through blogging.

At least my trail of blogs will show a story of my life.
There is a life lived in my writing.

I look at others blogs.
Many don't share much about their lives.

We all have our opinions on what to share.
That's OK!

May God place it on our hearts what we should share.
May what we share be encouraging and uplifting.

Rethink Things

I have been thinking and rethinking some things.
There are things that I need to change.

I see a new season that we are in.
I need to rethink things.

It takes me awhile to see somethings.
I am aware of things that I should keep quiet about.

I have to have grace to know when to speak and not to speak.
I have seem the light in some areas of my life.

I pray that I will do the right things in those matters of life.
I have to have peace in doing what is needed.

May God guide my way.
Jesus is the way.

Happy Veterans Day

Honor to the men and women serving and retired from the military.
God Bless you.

Thanks for your sacrifice in serving in the military.
You are appreciated.

Happy Veterans Day!

Thought Of Last Week

Last week was an historic week.
Things changed in America.

We have a new President elect Barack Obama.

There is a lot of mix feelings.
I don't know how to explain it.

I see some people acting differently.
The true colors of what we are are coming out of us.

There is fear, anxiety, wonder excitement that we have a black President elect.
There is a lot of talk of morals as well.

I believe that God is there in the midst of what is going on.
God know who our next President would be.

We as the people and those who are of God have be who we are.
There are things that we don't know.

Things we disagree with.
Things that we can't do because of our belief.

There are times in our lives we have to rethink things.
We need to repent and change how we do things.

I know we can't have things that we want.
We have to keep moving on the best way we know how.

In the process we change and grow.
We have to put our hope in God.

We don't know what is going to happen with the world financial crisis.
The U.S. is in the transition time of changing power in the upcoming months.

I pray that things go as plan.
May God guide our newly elected President with wisdom.

May God protect The next President and his family.
May God Bless and protect the United States of America.

New Day Dawned

It's the first day of the week.
We got the opportunity to go to the house of the LORD.

It's another week ahead.
May we enjoy of day.

I see things change.
A New Day has dawned.

May we move in this time that we are in.
God is on the move.

May we move with what is.
God is with us.

My Day

It's been a good day.
A bit cold but good.

I have to catch up on some things.
I got behind on what I was going to do today.

We went looking for a dog house.
One of our dog has out ground his house.

We didn't find him a house.
But we will.

Life with dogs can be a joy.
I like dogs.

Grandma Mother

What I recall about my Grandma Mary I saw later after she passed on.
I did not get to know her will.
I was 13 when she passed away 33 years ago today.

As I look back on what I have discovered about her I see new things.
She was a woman who had a destiny.

She raised her children with her husband my Grandpa Leo.
They had 11 children.

She was half American Indian and part black.
She was the only child.

I am thankful that I got to met my Grandma Mary.
My other grandparents passed long before I was born.

I am thankful for my lineage.
I thank God that He created me.

Life Too short

I have been singing, singing new songs.
No matter what, what's going on.

Life is too short, short to waste away.
Keep on living living God's Holy way

The Wonderful Weather

I have been enjoying the beautiful weather.
It's have great.

In the 70's for the past 5 to 6 days.
The leaves are turning.

The farmers are gathering their harvest.
The season is changing.

Time has turn on a new path.
Life is to be live.

Election Day '08

This day has finally arrived.
And the winner is President Elect Obama.

I am glad that the election is over.
There were a lot of negative things spoken.

How do we get along as a society?
Back bitting and saying things about one another.

How do we move ahead?

Wonderful Light

I wrote this pulse on my Xanga site...

Susan is happy to see the wonderful Light.
It's so sad when we see those things that aren't right.

It is so wonderful to see the Light of God.
Those things that we know are of God.

Then the things that we see that appear not right.
Those things that don't go our way.

Those things that we question why.
It's so sad that things don't work out.

The wonderful thing about live is that there is a Wonderful Light.
There are things in our live that will not go our way.

God see the good in our lives.
We can choose things that are not good for us.

We go through the motions of what we do.
The cost of our choose bring the good or bad.

May we use our judgement in good manner.
May we over look what other does as a mistake.

May we have the mercy and grace of God to move on.
May God turn things in to the good.

27 Years WOLC

It's a new year.
27 years as a church at Word of Life Church.

I have been there only 15 of the 27 years.
I don't know all the history.

I was one of the 1000th person to join in 1993.
Now there over 4000 members.

I think God that I was lead to WOLC.
I have been growing while I have been there.

Happy November!

We are in a new month.
Time has come quickly.

It's our church anniversary.
It is 27 years in the making.

Happy 27th Word of Life Church!
The blessings of God is with you.

Happy Reformation Day

Believe leave it or not, I have my Christmas tree up.
It people can decorate for Halloween, why not for Christmas early?

I have been doing this for I don't know how long.
I don't put anything on our tree till close to Thanksgiving.

Everyday is Thanksgiving and Christmas in one.
Jesus is our gift of salvation from God the Father.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Merry Christmas!

I have some gifts to give away in the days ahead.
Blessings to you.

Off To A New Beginning

It's been a different week.
I did some things that I wasn't planning on doing.

I will make the best of things.
Let does have its turns.

I have to move on with what is there.
I should not worry about things.

I believe that God will see my through.
I put my hope and trust in God.

I got my 2 sisters and their spouses some trick or treat candy.
I gave my sisters' kids some goodies.

I got a kick out of it.
It was a fun think to do.

I have some more treats to take to church.
I have some gifts to give to some friends.

I am off to a new beginning.
Life is wonderful in Him.

Blessed

I am so blessed.
I see new things coming on the horizon.

What do I do?
Where do I turn to?

I keep my eyes on Jesus in what I do.
I listen to His leading in where to turn.

There have been times when I did not know what to do.
When I just stopped and be still, peace came.

Noting doing anything comfort my soul.
But there were times when I had to do something.

It lead to things that lead to things.
I thought that I could never get out of that.

But through stepping out in faith, I can go through.
I have to keep moving and not to grow weary.

May I see more than what I can't not see.
May I have the understanding when things don't work out.

May the glory of God be seen in Jesus' name amen.

Being Friendly

I try to be friendly to others.
I bring a smile to my face.

I say hello.
I try to communicate with those around me.


But how can we be friendly when some don't know how.
It's not nice to force others to be friends with us.

We need to let others have there space.
We need not to pressure things on others to do because we do.

May we be friends to those who want to be friends.
May we see the value in our friends.

God bless you.

Question?

I see some changes from what happened last week.
Things are not the same.

I am going on with life.
I see that I have left some things behind.

I wonder at times, who are my friends.
Who are my friends, Father God.

Who do You want me to be friends with?
Help me to be friends with the friends that want to be friends.

Lord, You asked Your disciples a similar question.
Who are My mother and brothers?

I ask who are my friends, LORD?
Some appear to have gone astray as they don't know me any more.

Do I leave them be?
Do I go on the way in that I should go?

Lead me on to where You want me to go, LORD.
For I don't know what to do at times.

This brings hurt to my soul.
I want to be set free.

Help me find the friends that will bring goodness in my walk with You.
I know that friends can let me down.

Teach me not to be offended.
Grant me the grace to continue on in with what You have for me.

See me through what I am in...
in Jesus' name Amen.

What's Ahead?

I don't know.
I have my hope in God.

I need to have that positive attitude that everything is going to be alright.
No matter what happening in the world, God is in control.

Sunday is the celebrate day each week.
The restart button of the past week.

So what happened last week has past away.
New things have spring forth.

I push forward into this new week set before me.
New heights are awaiting for me to explore.

May the Lord guide and others into what's ahead.
May we see the good on the land at hand.
in Jesus' name amen.

Relief Day

I thank God for being with us.
It was just a test of time.

I believe that we are better off now.
We did learn some things in the process of time.

May we keep doing what is right in the sight of God.
May the mercy of God be with us.

May we see the good of what we been through.
May we be the witnesses that God calls us to be.
Amen.

Praise God

I believe that things are changing.
We are in a season of things to come.

What we have been through has built up our faith.
It's now to see what we put our faith in.

Will we withstand the testing that will come?
Where do we stand and what we believe will be tested.

May we keep our trust in God.
May we praise God for His goodness.

Bless God.
God is for us and will not leave us.

We put our hope in the living God.
So whatever comes our way, we go to God in the midst of things.

We those we are in Christ have a refuge in times of trouble.
God is our fortress and shield.

Go to God in the midst of all things.
He will guide us in what we should.

Peace be to all who are in Christ Jesus.
Grace to you.

Blog Blog Blog

What should I blog about?
I've been blogging so much I think that I run out of things to say.

But I know that I can find some thing to say.
Is it what I think that is important that matters?

I've been aware that I have say a lot of things.
I repeat things but in a different view point.

I don't share every thing in a way that I think that I should.
As time comes along, I share more.

Perhaps I'm more comfortable in writing about it.
There are times I hold back in what to share.

It's the ability to communicate with who's out there.
I don't know who reading my blogs.

But that does not matter.
My blogging world is my world.

I hope that I am leaving some things behind.
Good thoughts of what God has done for me.

May I see the good in blogging.
May what I share be worthy to the reader.

May God bless you as you journey in life.
Amen.

Octoberfest

I had a great time on Sunday.
I went to October fest at WOLC.

It was my first time going.
It was unique in the doing.

I like it.
It was a bit windy.

I really enjoyed myself.
I got to chat with some of my friends.

I was there for about 3 hours.
It didn't seem that long.

It was worth it.
I am glad the I went.

Maybe I go to the one next year.
My mind is on now.

New Adventure

I am starting a new adventure today.
I am back to WBF.

I have not been to a ladies Bible Study in a long while.
I hope that I will like it.

Things have changed since the last time I was at this Bible Study.
I hope that I will fit in.

May we learn about the psalms.
May we step into a new place with God
in Jesus' name Amen.

Psalms and Singing

I have been thinking about the Book of Psalms.
They are enriching to pray and sing songs from.

I like the Psalms.
I can find things in my life that are there.

I was in the Upper Room this morning.
I went through Psalm 120 to 130.

I see that can pray or sing them.
I love to worship God.

The psalms is a good book to use to pray.
There are 150 psalms.

I like Psalm 23, 45, 63, to name a few.
There are other ones as well.

May we learn to use the psalm more.
May we worship and praise the living God.
in Jesus' name Amen.

Fun Filled Sunday

I decided to go to Octoberfest at church this year.
I normally don't like to go.

I over looked the reasons why not to go.
I took a step of faith to believe that I can enjoy myself.

A Fun Filled Weekend

I'm enjoying my weekend.
I've been taking it easy.

I've had a restful day.
Tomorrow is another day of fun.

May I enjoy what is to come.
May I be lead to avoid trouble and temptation.
May the joy of the Lord carry my through.
Amen.

15 Years Has Come To Be

I've been attending one church for the past 15 years.
I joined the church of Jesus 15 years ago.

I am a member through Word of Life Church.
I've grown since my stay there.

I'm seeing new things coming.
This year have been different.

I'm thanking the Lord for revealing things to me.
I'm thankful for the leading of the Holy Spirit.

May this new year be a breakthrough.
May I go farther than I have been.
May road blocks be taken down.
May God be glorified in all that I do.
in Jesus' name Amen,

Fall Is Here

It has been getting cooler this week.
They say a warm front is coming.

I can put on more clothes in the cooler weather.
I hope that the temperature does not go up and down.

My body is like jet lag when that happens.
I have to adjust.

I shouldn't compliant about the weather.
I'm thankful to be able that I can feel the temperature changes.

The leaves are changing slowing,
I like to see the beauty of the leaves.

There is so much to look at.
I like the blending in of nature and its' surroundings.

God created the world to be.
I'm thankful that God planted me on this earth.

I can be apart of what God wants in this world.
This is my Father's world.

May we tend to what is here.
May we be thankful for what we have.
Amen.

Sadness

Do I have anything to share?
I believe that I do.

There are things that I see that is very sad.
There are some who ignore each one another on their way in life.

It's a very sad thing to continue to witness week after week.
We are suppose to be Christian, Aren't We?

There are in differences with one another.
There's no speaking nor looking each other in the face.

This brings sadness and a deep hurt inside.
God wants us to be kind to one another.

What is tearing people apart from one another?
What is going on with the children of God?

Father God,
Forgive us of our wrong doing.
Help us to mend what was torn down.

Heal the hurt that is growing inside.
Bond our hearts back together again,
in Jesus' name Amen.

Another Day

I don't know what to do at times.
I have been doing things in a new way.

It's good to do this.
Stops the norm of doing what is what at times.

Having to change what doing.
It takes practice.

I am enjoying the new change in doing things.
I can get more done if I put my mind to it.

I can see other things as I go about my day.
The distractions that are there are less in the making.

I tend not to think about them.
I am doing the other things so those distractions don't matter.

I keep busy with what matter the most to my.
I am doing fine.

The joy of the Lord is my strength.
I believe that I am going to make it.

Blessings to you.

Hello!

It's Columbus Day!
Happy Day to you.
Have A Great Week!

Kingdom Of God

I have been learning new things about the Kingdom of God.
We are in our Father's World.

God wants to restore this world.
He wants to take back what is His.

He wants to make things right.
He wants this world to reunite with Heaven.

Let there be heaven on earth LORD.
Bring the two as one Father.

Jesus will be satisfied when they are ONE.
Thank You, Father for this reunion,
in Jesus' name Amen.

It's A New Day

Hope that you are having a Wonderful Weekend!

I am off to a new start.
May the Joy of the Lord be your strength.
Peace be with you.

Notice Some Things

I have been aware of some things.
There are a lot less bloggers.

Well at least the ones that I am aware of.
On my main blog site, it appears that there are fewer who blog.

Is blogging dying or is it about gone?
Lazy in doing or bloggers have nothing to say?

There are some who wrote about what's on their hearts.
But few will state, what up.

It seems as though I should not wonder about the issue.
I am doing what I like.

If others don't blog, its not my business to question.
I keep my opinion to myself from now on.

I like to journal.
I like to wrote and record the happening or whatever that is there.

I can image.
When I look back over what I recorded.

What was going on in my life and others?
Why did I write, what I wrote?

How did I feel when I didn't receive comments?
Why did I continue to blog?

What inspires me to wrote?
What was the joy of blogging?

There is so much to blog about.
But will it ever get publish?

May I not be distracted by what others do or don't do.
May I continue to have the joy of journaling no matter what.

May the love of God bring insight to me as I go about my days.
May the joy of Jesus arise more and more in my days.
Amen.

A Start In That New Day

I am making the best of things.
It's been a different week.

I have been at home most of this week.
I did not go to the Upper Room during the first 3 weekday mornings.

I have been having more quiet times at home.
I have been cleaning.

May I be refilled.
May I be restored.
Amen!

Yom Kippur

This is the holiest day on the Jewish calender year. The holy day starts at sundown. I plan to take some time in rethinking my life. I plan to seek God.

I am in a time of change. There are things that have come into newness. It is a new season of doing other things. I need to focus on what is most important in life.

Things come in seasons of life that bring changes. There should be a release from those things. There are times times in life to start doing other things. There is peace in what is going on.

I am getting adjusted in the changes. I am rethinking things. May these 10 days be life changing. May I make new ground.
Amen.

Remembering

It's the 19Th anniversary of my father's passing.
Time has gone by.

I believe that I will get to see my father and mother again.
We called upon Jesus while we were alive on this side of life.

I am thankful for eternal life.
I am thankful that there is hope in God.

May we continue to believe in the good that God has for us.
May we see the end of what we have been believing for.
Amen.

New Start

I have been doing some things differently.
I started on Saturday.

I don't get on my computer until 4 PM.
I got a lot done.

I am on a new journey.
I need to think about other things in life.

I have been cleaning and sorting things.
There are things that I need to store or get rid of.

I have a lot of things.
Things that I need to make decisions about.

I am getting use to the changes.
Life has its ways.

I must trust in the LORD.
God is my source of what I need.

Seek first the kingdom of God, those things will be added to you.
Put God first in all that you do.

May the Lord guide us in to the way that we need to go.
May we trust in Him and not fear what's ahead.
Amen.

Pray...

For the Peace of Jerusalem.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
May they prosper who love you.
Peace be within your walls,
Prosperity with within your palaces.
" For the sake of my brethren and companions,
I will now say,
"Peace be within you."
Because of the house of the LORD our God,
I will seek your good.
NKJV Psalm 122:6-9

Lord save, Israel.
Amen

The Door Of HOPE Is Still Open

It's a GREAT Day!
A Fresh new start.
A New Attitude...

The Door Of HOPE

I have hope for the future.
I believe God has a plan for me.

I have the honor to go to the House of the LORD tonight.
It is a special gathering.

We got to hear a prophetic word.
Also we get to walk through the Door of HOPE.

We did this at the beginning of the year.
It was an exercising of our faith.

We got up and walked through the door of hope.
I see some things in doing that.

I still hope.
I still believe.

Search Family History

I've been searching my ancestors.
It has been an interesting past week.

I have come across some things that I knew but did know.
There were links to the past that I had
that I could not link up until now.

About 20 years ago a lady wrote to me about her Dade linegage.
I had very little information about my Dade side.

This lady sent my obituaries of Dades in the Canton Mo area.
They did not click to me then.

As I have been researching on my Dade side.
I have been making progress.

I found out who my mother's father's mother's parents were.
They were Frances Ovrington and Isaac Dade.

Through farther research, I came to see Frances had 14 children.
I have located about 4 of them on the census.

There are a lot of people with similar names.
It is confusion in searching for who is who.

I have been piecing the puzzle together.
I have death records to search.

They have been a great home.
In some cases the parents are listed.

That was how I found out my Great Grandma's siblings.
That is nice to know.

My journey continues.
I thank God for the new leads.

A New Start

Happy October!
It's a new month and a new start for me.

I plan to do some things different this month.
I got a new revelation last weekend.

I am on a new road.
Things will appear different.

I did go back to Facebook.
I have a brand new attitude about being there.

I plan to continue to be there.
It was not as I thought I would, but out of a witness unto the LORD.

It appears that there are a lot who can't relate to what I share.
Maybe that's why I have very few feedback's on my blog sites.

We are all not the same.
We have different likes and dislikes on subject matters.

God created us for His purposes.
I believe that I am very unique.

There is none like me.
Nor will there be anyone to be me.

I am thankful that I am of God
I am thankful for the people who can relate to what I say.

I am thankful for the people who brighten my day.
I am thankful that I can be who God created me to be.

May the LORD continue to use me for His purposes.
Amen.
