04/10/2005 Dear God......Dear God....
Billions of voices
heard throughout the ages
some whispered in silence
or wept in a tear
shouted out in anger
in frustration and fear
with shaking fists raged
or folded in prayer
Dear God.....!
Are You there?
Do You care?
....are You near to me
...even now?
What can I do?
You See....but I cannot
to find my way through
Dear God!
Then He comes to you
His Voice calms the seas
it is heard....again..and again
in the whisper in the wind
at the entrance to the cave
the one that you've been hiding in
Dear God!
I Defer to YouI defer to You my Lord and King
I defer to You in everything
You are my Light, The Way, My Truth
Living Life is giving mine to You
Lord I surrender it all, every earthly aspiration
the seat of every kingdom in my soul
Yes, I defer to You Your Rule and Reign
not half my heart, to you O Lord the whole
I will follow through, giving my all to Worship You
I defer to You, My Lord and King 22/08/2005 ~In A Suddenly~Lord of all Mercy
God of Infinite Love
Be the King of my heart
Set up Your Rule, and Reign
Prince of Peace, Messiah!
Emmanuel! You came!
In a suddenly!
In the twinkling of an eye!
In a suddenly
The Lord comes to His Temple
there to reside
His Love comes inside
In a suddenly!
You can hear the hush
and you can feel the brush
of Heavenly Wings
as the Lord enters in
Into ~ His Temple 20/08/2005 ~Empty Out~God...my heart is pretty black and ugly
folded and fused and on fire
Hard as a rock, edgy, and ridged
Hurting and crying
Vengeful and trying
to have something
just for the wanting
Why? Do you love me?
How can you, through this?
How can you love me
when I am ugly and miffed?
Why do You hang on ....
when I try to let go?
Why you still love me
I just do not know!
Why do I fight Love
the good and the right?
Why hold on fast , hold on so tight?
It does nothing but hurt me
bringing me grief
these hot bitter tears
fall at your feet!
You scoop them all up
each one as they drop
all the black angry tears
are filling your cup
You tilt back your head
you drink it non stop
I reach to say NO!!!!
You just drink every drop
Then I feel Love's cleansing come
Jesus my Saviour....what have You done?
You've taken the bitter
and You've given the sweet
You know what to do, you know what I need
to empty out ~ all the wanting
YOU....satisfy me!
~Just like Esther~Until I come safely through
Shine the loving Glory of You
deep into the shadows of
my longing lonely heart
Tear apart
all the earthly castles
this heart
has ever erected
cast off the worldly jewelry
gemstones I've collected
Until I can say....
my soul's true response
of all that I want
is to live this life in worship
In worship of The King
all of my yearning, wanting
to be met alone
complete in Him
Until I am...
fully arrayed in the Glory
of the beauty that is You
Just like Esther, Holy Spirit
will You prepare me too
readied to meet my King
in all His Majesty
......Just like Esther
~Terebinth Trees at Mamre~Take me to the trees at Mamre
pitch a tent and wait and see
build an Altar to the Lord Jehovah
and wait the day for Him!
He will visit you there
at the Landmark place
where you built your Altar
and worshipped Him
In this place where death
to self is the final judgement
Comes the Lord Jehovah
Bringing you His Blessing!
Fulfilling what He Promised!
11/08/2005 ~Today is my Birthday~Today, Today!
is my 49th Birthday!
Hooray! Hooray!
 Now what will I do?
Where will I go?
Will my children remember
Gee.... I don't know?
 What does it matter?
I couldn't be gladder
 I'm still this side of 50
49's nifty!
Happy Happy Birthday
to me

02/08/2005 ~Come Up~Come up! Come up!
I am calling you, Come up!
Come up! Come up!
Yes I am calling you
Come up!
I am calling to My People
I am calling you to come
I am calling you to rise up
I am calling you to come
I am calling you to seek Me!
Seek Me! I am calling... you ! Seek Me!
Come up into the Mountain
Do not tarry, and do not worry
Do not lag behind
Don't let the cares of this life
drag you back down
take one step, and then another
continue on and climb!
Take one step, and then another
Come up unto the Mountain!
I BEGIN TO BEND
I am in a season, and there is a reason.
I hear His Voice within the Wind
His Spirit surely moving,
there is a gentle stirring
I begin to bend
I begin to bend
An inner working purging
a stripping of the old
Preparation that is turning
something into gold
I begin to bend
I begin to bend
Cassia...the ointment
preparation for the garment
A veil of beauty and adornment
I will soak ...and then
I begin to bend
I begin to bend

28/07/2005 ~Wanting~She fumes inside. A furnace of resentment burns because through her eyes she sees the people in her world withholding from her what they take for themselves. Oh they may not desire the same things as she does, but nonetheless, they each have their own desires for things they seek to have and possess.
She's been told that line before, the one that starts off with a point in reason for their withholding. It usually begins with an awkward uneasiness on their part as they try to stand in the force of her knowing razor sharp gaze. Soon after "the pause" a "BUT" follows concluding with "we cannot afford it"
Yet, she sees their own areas of importance funded. There is always a way they make for themselves. The pathway to their own pleasures is never obstructed, or thought of as unimportant, invalid. She has seen, as always she has seen~hers is not equal to their own but secondary to theirs.
Validated? Hardly. Classified? Yes, as unnecessary. How can you validate someone you don't value as important as yourself. To you it is tantamount, to them it is trifle.
Food and football game vs a 15.00 Thrift Store table, tantamount or trifle determines the availability of affordable funding.
So she retaliates, clenches down, resists and resents. She fumes with unspoken accusations that her mood or eyes cannot belie. Yes, once again she is pressed, forced over, or off because she is not in control~someone else is.
She's even felt guilty over and over again for wanting with equal opportunity to having, as others do, and deferring to them, deferring to their reasoning and justification as to why they are more suitable than she. Or in reference, their own need being greater than her own.
Why subject yourself to the feeling of guilt for wanting something badly enough to stand up and say to another contender: I know it is important to you, however, it is equally important to me as well, and I have already spoken for this table. Why feel as if you, yourself, must be the one to back down? Your 15.00 is no different than her 15.00
How many times girl, have you backed down because of feelings of guilt, feelings that you are less entitled, less worthy, least important than anyone else? How many times have you backed down because of this guilt for wanting and have thought your were doing the right thing? Doing the right thing for all the wrong reasons~just isn't right!
Stupid girl! Why do you fume? Why do you let guilt, and the feeling that others are more entitled or deserving than yourself rule your heart? It is ok to want things, if the want of things is not your driving motive~to the point~you have to manipulate others, cajole, or whine~ or to best any one~ to have any thing for yourself. What is this thing to you? Why is it to you a constant contest, a striving, driving force?
You identify with that runt pup in the pack. all the other pups are pulling on a teat, gorging themselves, and you are trying to squeeze in some space for some of what everyone else is getting but it always seems to be the ones who are bigger, faster, meaner, smarter, or the pack persona that has the edge~ always has the edge.
The runts just get resentful, nippy and snippy, with a gnawing hunger that won't subside. It continually cries "me too!" Cries go unacknowledged in the selfish gluttonous grunts of others. Why be resentful? Why be consumed?
It is just hopelessly self~suicidal to try to wedge a way in this wanting world!
So WANT for NOTHING~and perhaps you will be pleasantly surprised with something!
Hopefully, it will be something worth keeping!
It just may be what your need has been wanting of all along!

06/07/2005 ~Your Rock~Faith in the Nature and Character of God
that He is for you ...not against you
even in the face of insurmountable odds
when you "don't feel" like smiling
when winds toss you to and fro
and emotions are in turmoil
the Rock Solid Peace in you...
....be evident
It is well ....with my soul
because you...KNOW YOUR GOD
because ...YOU KNOW WHO HE IS
your strength...IS the JOY of the LORD
You refuse to sink in the slough of
feeling sorry for yourself
that is the mark of a Conqueror
because...your mind and heart are
stayed up on HIM....YOUR ROCK...

The Spirit Song is sometimes sung the sweetest
through the tears...the Oil...precious Oil of the Spirit
scents the tears and the aroma fills the room
outward...from the porous vessel....this one
holds the Power of Love
~~~ ~~ ~~~
God's Word speaks beyond the grappling of our minds to comprehend what can only be understood by the Spirit.
As deep...calls unto deep.
This is Light.....radiating in the darkness
A whisper in the ear....that resonates within
Bringing forth life ....into the hearer
In quietness....and trust...is your strength
These words are alive...and living!
Praise GOD
~~~ ~~ ~~~ 25/06/2005 ~His Table~Places are set, His Table is ready The servants of God have been working steady Humming the Song for the Bride
From the least to the greatest The Old and the Young at the blast of the trumpet we will hear the word, Come!
The Called are the Chosen ones who will come all clothed in the Garments of His Blood's Covenant
His Table is set for The Son and His Bride the doors of the Kingdom are now opening wide
The Called are the Chosen ones who will come All clothed in His Glory to the Feast for The Son!
Glory to the Lamb! All Praise to the Son! ~Maranatha~
~Proclaiming the Name~My mind cannot comprehend it God's price of sacrifice that ended the tyranny of sin that separated me from Him I'm restored. Yes! Born again!
Joining the saints breaking restraints setting the captives free healing the sick raising the dead Proclaiming The Name of Victory
My lips confess the mysteries of the Glory Gift~ Agape Love with faith afire lit to proclaim the wonder of my Savior's Name
joining the saints breaking restraints setting the captives free healing the sick raising the dead Proclaiming The Name of Victory
The earthen fields of golden grains ripened yields from latter rains The Sower nears the Reaper's Door to greet Him at His Threshing floor
