A Selection

Into the heart of the Creator...
Asking us to come closer, to lay our heads upon His chest.
Drawing us inside, to feel His very heart beating around us.
Holding us within Him, to be consumed by His breath of life.
Breaking all that is in us to know all of Him.
His gaze is holding mine
His eyes both refreshing and on fire
His eyes have captured mine
His gaze is seeing through all of me
I am held, refreshed, on fire, captured, and I am seen in His eyes
Shimmering essence, Consuming presence
Glittering, Unfolding, Manifesting
Sweeping upwards towards the open sky!
Heavens open wont you be swept away into My Presence?
Come be with Me here this day!

A Struggle

It seems that after a great victory the levels of warfare change again. I have been spending time trying to recover from an attack on my body that seems relentlace, but I will pursue my destiny despite what my flesh and soul are saying. I hadn't really shared about the forty days of prayer and fasting that the body of Christ was participating in here in the Tri-Cities. From Jan. 2nd though Feb. 10th many in the body of Christ here and around the world began to seek the Creator's face to move in our lives. The purpose of this fast was to ask for more of the Creator and to listen to what He wanted for us. It has been an amazing forty days and beyond. The level of His Presence has increased and unity has broken out in the body of Christ. I am so excited to say that from all backgrounds and walks of life Christ's bride has begun to unify! Not only has unity begun to breakout, but an understand that we are all parts of the same body, but that there are many parts to the body. Just as our human bodies are made up of many parts so is the church body. So I'd like to give you all a glimpse into what the Creator shared with me about the bride of Christ.

The Creator began by giving me an assignment which I shared in an earlier blog about seeing myself the way He sees me and the way He sees those around me. To see others through His eyes! Then the development of what I thought to be my own thought, really was Him giving me some of the way He loves to create. The project He has me working on right now is about how the very DNA of the bride of Christ has Him inside. You see this project is expressing Himself in our very DNA. He told me that His names represent our very own DNA. So the project is to create a DNA molecule with His names. So I have taken this challenge and I am trying to pursue it while continuing to see the vision of what He wants us to do as His bride. There will more of this thought process over the next few days/weeks. I'd love to hear feedback on any suggestions or ideas about how to make this DNA molecule as well as your thoughts. Thanks!

This Journey I'm On

Do you ever wonder about the impact you are making in the world around you? I was thinking about this as I was watching the news about the elections. And no this is not going to be a political message. I was drawn to several things that got my mind going. You see we all have a destiny to fulfill, but many of us run scared from it, because sometimes is seems too great. I struggle at times knowing if I am on the right path, but then I am reminded once again by those whom the Creator chooses to inform me that I am on the right path. We each have the ability to leave a mark on the lives of those around us. Just like we can leave footprints in the sand and many other places, so can our character leave an imprint on a life or two. We can look at history and see the impact of choices made as well as unmade choices. I find that many times I am so focused on the choice at hand that I miss the big picture. I have decided to challenge myself daily to look outside of myself and see what the Creator is doing and to step up to all the challenges He sends my way. I want to leave an imprint on the heart of the Creator by loving all those that He loves. I will press on towards the high calling that He has called each of us to and I will lean not on my own understanding, but seek Him in all that He has for me to accomplish. I will not be satisfied with my normal statis quo, but I will learn to be driven by the power of His Word, Voice, Smell, Touch, and So On! So until next time I challenge you to seek after the Creator with all that is within you!

Looking Deep

Today I felt the Creator challenge me to look deep. My first question to Him was, "What am I suppose to be looking at?" I didn't see, but I heard this faint sound like the beating of a heart. I pressed in deeper asking the Creator again, "what am I suppose to be looking for?" As each patient came into the office where I work the sound of the heart got a little louder and a little stronger. As I watched each persons face I began to see past what was on the outside of the person and saw deep into them. It was very personal at times, but I could feel the Creator's heart beat for them. I began to see past the layers of hurts and disappointments and began to see the heart of a child that beats with pure hope. I then asked the Creator, "When you told me to look deep, you meant for me to see them how You see them, right?" The only reply was the beating of His heart. I was moved at one point so much that I felt as if I would explode with joy and sorrow all in one. I wanted to cry and I wanted to cheer. To look deep can mean so many things, but today it meant to see people the way the Creator does, through our hearts.
