February 1st, 2017…new month, new day in a new year :)

Where did January go?!

February 1st, 2017…new month, new day in a new year.

How did January go for you? Was it everything you hoped it would be? Or did it knock you up side the head or pull the rug out from underneath you? Or somewhere in between? Mine completely knocked me for a loop.  Life can do that!

The morning of January 1st my father and I, and my family, sadly greeted the year with the passing of my dear mother. It’s been a whirlwind of a month, being the oldest daughter in the family and giving caregiving assistance to my father in the care of my mother – everything is different, except for the love and care in our family, it has grown deeper and stronger. Mom would have wanted it that way.

So, we pick up the broken pieces of our hearts – we remember the good times and memories with mom. We keep her love in our hearts. We come alongside my dad as he moves through life without his lifelong partner of 60 years, wow! That’s a long time <3 They stuck together through the good, the bad and the ugly, and believe me their was plenty of ugly.  They persevered, not always sure how they were going to make it through the winters of their relationship, but always remembering that spring and summer were just around the corner.  No matter how dark and bleak it seemed at the time – they hung on. For that I am so grateful!
As their teenage daughter, I was part of creating some of the UGLY they had to deal with in our lives and their marriage. Sorting it all out isn’t easy and [...]

Love springs!

Spring has sprung in my hometown….

Although it’s still only February in Oregon, this is what you will see in my little corner of the state.

The beauty of Spring is so refreshing and awe inspiring!

Does the LOVE in your LIFE feel the same way?

I’m struck in my scripture study this morning by a revelatory truth…My LOVE for others and myself is directly impacted by my LOVE for God and His ways.  Loving God matters more than being loved.  

Being in triune unity in spirit and in truth ushers in the presence and fullness of God’s LOVE.   

As a created being, made in the image of God, we are also triune in our very nature.  Being in unity with the Trinity, God, three in one, Spirit-Soul-Body with our sameness in Him we are able to operate in oneness of LOVE in Him and with Him.  

I invite YOU to pause…stop in your tracks…let that reality sink into your thoughts.

Thoughts like that can transform your life.

Let it resonate.  Let it take hold.  Let it take root in the soil of your soul.  Consider the daffodils in the picture, how deeply rooted they are.

I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your heart as you trust in Him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous LOVE.                    – Ephesians 3:17

Bless YOU!

Mommy Baby Rescue

Getting the text at 8:15 a.m. “I am at the clinic right now” dropped a lead weight in my gut. Everything in me screamed, “No! Ending the life of your 5 1/2 month old baby in your womb will not solve your problems, it creates new ones!”

We had talked the night before and I shared my story of my abortion trauma experience and the things I so wished I had been told by the abortion clinic – the same one she was sitting in, but 34 years prior.

She didn’t want to go through with the abortion but she hadn’t been given other options either. This appointment was her 5th visit – every time she would walk out of the clinic because in her words, “Why should my baby be punished with a death sentence, he’s done nothing wrong. How could I hurt him like that? I just don’t know what else to do!”

I texted her back to see if we could meet, I will come to you. And would it be ok to bring a friend who is a specialist in open adoptions to at least give her more information about her options. All of them. And also, the known risk factors and aftermath of abortion trauma, especially at 5 1/2 months pregnant. Women Deserve Full Disclosure

I could feel the adrenal rushing through my body as the thought came to my mind, “MommyBabyRescue!” In my mind’s eye I saw an enormous guardian angel standing behind and protecting a pregnant mommy with her hands gently and protectively placed over her burgeoning belly. It was a beautiful picture [...]

Perfect Character, Perfect Bliss

“These seven descriptions make up a perfect character, and the seven blessings appended when combined constitute perfect bliss.”

“The whole seven rise one above another like the steps of a ladder of light, and the blessings appropriate to each grow out of the virtues described.”

“At the close of the seven BEatitudes of character comes an eighth and double benediction bestowed on the persecuted condition as a result of holiness. The whole makeup a celestial octave of benediction.”
– C. H. Spurgeon

I love the richness and depth of Spurgeon’s writings!

Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount was one of Jesus’ first teachings to the masses. In Matthew 5…Blessed are the poor in spirit; for their’s is the kingdom of heaven. (The first step of the ladder is low, and the more readily reached. Those who know their spiritual poverty are the only ones who by faith can lay hold on the true riches of grace.)

Blessed are they that mourn: for they will be comforted. (To their sense of need is now added holy sorrow for sin; this leads them to Jesus, [...]

    God ISN’T Buddha, or a genie in a bottle, a magician or the fairy god mother…

23 08, 2014

God ISN’T Buddha, or a genie in a bottle, a magician or the fairy god mother…

How much do we beckon God to help and rescue us wanting Him to wave a magic wand or pop out of a genie’s bottle to help us in our time of need?

Don’t get me wrong God wants good for our lives. GOD is a relational and real person of the divine trinity – HOLY SPIRIT – revealer of truth, FATHER GOD, and JESUS CHRIST.

I realize this may be a difficult concept to grasp.

GOD wants a close loving relationship with His CREATION. YOU are His DIVINE CREATION created in His image. (Genesis 1)

His HEART is good towards YOU!

JESUS said the greatest commandment is to LOVE The Lord your God with ALL your heart, mind, soul and strength, and your neighbor as yourself.

YOU as God’s created being have His DNA, we are born that way. In HIS IMAGE!. It is His perfect will for our lives to reflect His image in the world. Walking in communion WITH HIM. Looking to Him, seeking Him for answers, not the world and it’s man made systems, customs and behaviors that have thrown the universe out of sync from the divine intent.

I PRAY for you to grow in deeper understanding so that you can be reconciled to the one who CREATED YOU FOR LOVE AND RELATIONSHIP.

Peace be with you.

March is hear! It’s almost Spring! I’v

March is hear!
It’s almost Spring!

Been sharing about LOVE last month, let everything be done in LOVE. Love God, Love Others, Love self…Let His LOVE flow through you…being filled with God’s LOVE gives us the power and grace to lay down our lives for the sake of others so that they might know Him and be redeemed by His LOVE, Forgiveness and transformational power <3

In March, I want to dig deep into the soul of our Identity & Purpose. Being made in the Image of God…we were created to LOVE…sin messed that up, and Jesus came to our rescue to redeem and restore us back to our original garden self…God's ways are so amazingly out of this world. So by all means, LOVE GOD, not this world.
