... someone that i love told me that he uses the scripture page, which is a bible, very often... to research when someone quotes from the Bible saying it says 'this'... to prove that it really says 'that'...
it made me think, and it made me sad that he can't see Jesus in me.. and believe by what he sees..
we shouldn't argue the Word.. Jesus should be seen in us.. then anyone can see the Way, the Truth, and the Life.. and then they will see that what we know to be true is true..
and if He isn't seen in us, then we are blinded, and we aren't really walking in the Truth..
'this is the Way, to walk in the Truth, that leads to the Life'
it is the only Way..
this is my song to God.. may He lift u up also..
the rainbow (finale)
i'm going to tell you about a drive in the country and going under the rainbow..
soon..
check back :)
may God bless you always..
the rainbow came before, and since the loss of beautiful caleigh and leeairra it has lost its place here.. for the moment..
God allowed me the Grace of literally going under a rainbow.. it was the most awesome and breath taking experience i have ever experienced.. except of course when Jesus first found me in my mess!
then sunday i saw another rainbow stretched across the sky from one side to the other.. and it was beautiful.. the colors of purple, pink, and blue stood out over the rest of the colors, and it made me think of caleigh, leeairra, and alexander.. and it was beautiful..
the children are our rainbow.. God bless them always and forever..
the star.. january 2, 2011
driving home tonight and i saw a star that made me think of caleigh..
..and when i got home i sat in the driveway looking at the star.. and there was a little fluffy cloud.. and i was listening to the song 'sweet silver lining' and the cloud slowly disappeared.. and i grieved for the loss of it, wanting so badly to see it again.. and knowing that i could do nothing to bring it back.. so i understood, and i waited, and i watched, and in the whole sky there was not a cloud.. but i believed.. and i waited.. and then i looked again and to the right there appeared two little clouds, one just a little bit bigger than the other..
and i thought about faith..
and they made me think of caleigh and leeairra, and they were beautiful..
and i felt peace, and hope.. and i prayed for a touch of His Grace upon my children and their children..
God is good.. through the good times and the bad..
He holds our babies in His Love..

letter to a friend.. june 11, 2011
okay.. good to hear from u.. i do have to say one thing and i hope you don't be offended by it.. i have never had to deal with the loss of a parent.. i hope i never do.. but i don't think anything is as tragic as the murder of a child.. it makes my heart sad for her mother.. who is my daughter, my only daughter.. but i do believe that God has it all in His hands.. and i can't understand it, or even pretend to, but i do believe that He gives me faith, that gives me hope, that gives me peace..
the joy will come in the morning i hope..
and i do believe u are right about the need to keep truckin as u say :)
and i do believe u are right when u say u don't forget.. i am sorry for your loss.. and mine..

letters to my loves..
okay.. i think i need a place for 'letters to my '
if any person God leads this way can get any inspiration or thoughts out of it, well then, that's a good thing.. these words can be anything to any one..
the things written here are things i might have talked about with a child of mine or thought about saying to them but just never got that place and/or space to say it to them.. or even letters to a friend.. that i thought to share with anyone that might care..
we will see how it goes and what God does with it..
letter to rachael.. june 2011
rachael, i'm sorry if i have let u down :(...
i have to give it to God some how..
His Word says;
for with God all things are possible..
i am right here.. just like in the dream.. with my arm (heart) around you as cry out to God to help us.. i can do nothing except this.. and i cry out to Jesus, holding hard onto the shield of faith that i hold in my other hand.. the battle is difficult and i want it to be over, i can't open the door without letting go of any of what i hold so dear.. so i have to trust that God has it all in control, and now i see the reason for Jesus so clearly.. it could not be done without Him.. i will pray for us all and He will hear me..
i think u and i are more alike than we care to be.. and we are hadicapped in spirit also.. which means we have to fight even harder.. because baby it is a war :)
like our names we are mixed with the Spirit and the world.. but it's the spirit i like so much and is the most important part.. that's what needs to pravail!
"if God is for us who can be against us..?".. isn't it wild how God works all things..
we aren't living up to our potential.. we keep falling down or trippin over somethin.. guess i dont know about u, but i do me..
i once told u i felt us in spirit and then u told me it wasn't never ever gonna happen.. i got it, but it was a way cool thought i had in my head and heart.. that's the kind of thing i'd be awed by if God ever gave it to me... it would be like jesus did it.. if it ever comes to me.. but im also okay if it doesn't.. because i know jesus will dress me in white one day.. He knows it's the desire of my heart..
to every truth there is a lie.. we have to look real hard to see the flaws of life=the mirror image.. who is the carnal us.. who we worship if we aren't careful.. instead of the real thing, which is God... like His word says.. "be vigilant, be sober, for your enemy goes around the earth to and fro, seeking whom he may destroy..,
i think God gave u to me to have fellowship with.. even if it is in spirit only..
but really, what do i know :)
i love ya man..

letter to a friend, october 14, 2011
I think I'm crazy.. but not psycho crazy.. I talked to a psychologist today and I didn't feel crazy.. I want to be over the man=relationship thing.. I don't think I need it.. It is the world trying to break me.. it does break me.. just like it breaks u.. And healing only comes by Jesus I know.. things are determined by the choices we make.. and sometimes we have to just cry out to Jesus because no matter how we try, we can never fix it..
wo is me, for I am undone..
Is a good thing that Jesus is my redeemer and He will get me there!
