“Sometimes, the biggest risks are those we take with our hearts.” Anonymous...

Meaning of risk: a situation involving exposure to danger.

There are approximately 39 verses in the Bible that refer to risk.

Are you a risk-taker? Fast cars, bungee jumping, shark diving, flying, driving home on Hwy 65? Perhaps helping others that have a contagious medical illness? And this list can go on for miles and miles. 

What about the simple task of just following your heart? Sounds simple enough. However, I feel there are circumstances that dictate this too can be risky. It truly depends on what or who your heart is chasing. 

In the last 25 months, I have felt I have taken a few risks…I have felt a risk knowing what God wants from me. I did learn this is an ongoing process and that clarity comes when we spend quiet time with Him. I have put relationships at risk as I tried to find my balance and discover more about this amazing love God offers. 

I continued to pursue this desire to know more about our Creator, His Word, and How He moves in our lives daily. I am sad to say some people did not even try to understand and quietly pulled away and I felt a divide in my heart.  But the good news is many came to share their story and their heart with me. I am so grateful to those who stayed. And I must admit I find it perplexing that some are so bound in there own thoughts they were not open enough to see, feel, and share His love. They truly have no idea what they are missing. I found many take His love for granted and do not nurture it daily. I do not understand why they leave His love sitting idle instead of growing that spark into a flame?

I have felt the pain of loss when I risked openly, sharing the most amazing gift of love I have ever known. This journey with God, Yeshua, and the Holy Spirit has taught me many things. I did learn that taking this type of risk has many rewards.  

You will risk falling in love with our Father in Heaven. You will risk falling in love with mankind. You will see the world with eyes of wonder. You will risk gaining peace that surpasses all human understanding. You will risk a joy that overflows within your soul… You will risk building a relationship with the Triune, they will hold your heart and never turn away…

My understanding of them became clear as I opened my heart and invited Them in to stay. It was through Their teachings and through many tears I found my confidence and my knowledge of Them grew. And now I openly take risks by sharing Him and His love with no hesitation. Because if I can touch your heart today. If I can open your window to His light and love. I know in my soul you were worth the risk. 

Because I have felt His great love in my soul…  and I know to risk life without Him is the biggest mistake we can ever make… 

On September 3, 2020, I will be opening my heart and sharing details of my spiritual journey on a podcast. I hope you will risk listening and pray you will feel Him in your soul. Your life may never be the same…

I know firsthand how a relationship with Him can and does change many things. Many that we have forgotten or perhaps never knew.

I challenge you to take the risk of knowing Him. Risk falling in love with Him.

Its Him, It's always Him.

Sam Smith - Writing on The Wall Lyrics

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give -- which is everything. — Anonymous

Expectation: a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the future:

There are 33 Bible Verses about expectations. 

When our hearts yearn for things with great expectations.  But then we realize, we have little to no control over the events! We discover we are at someone else's mercy and timing. It can leave us with excitement in our soul but it can also leave us with a melancholy heart. 

When this word came up in my word study. My mind and heart found me searching for answers that reside with my heavenly Father.  

Do we look to our future existence with the expectation of a child on Christmas morning? Or do we find ourselves bewildered or even afraid of the unknown?  

I do believe as we travel in our life’s journey our faith and destination become clearer. As we began to study our Father's word and heart we begin to discover what others have experienced.  We began to fill in the blanks with wisdom that comes from an unexpected place. As we began to understand it's His wisdom and guidance that we are feeling.  We began to build confidence in our heavenly Father. We began to yearn for His presence. We began to continually search for His face. 

He is an amazing teacher! He teaches us about a LOVE that can only come from His heart. His glory leaves us speechless. I can not tell you how He does this when we can not physically see Him? But I will confess my heart has felt His undying love. In my mind, I have touched His beautiful face. He has left me with a desire and a yearning to be in His presence. 

My soul awaits with a melancholy heart, but also with the unexplainable expectation and excitement of a child.  Knowing that one day I will return to my Heavenly Father and be with Him forevermore. Smitten by a greater love.

Its Him, It's always Him.

But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly Romans 8:25 

Eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. Philippians 1:20

Meaning of lost unable to find one's way; not knowing one's whereabouts.

The word lost is in the Bible 49 times.

Lost, have you ever felt lost?  Have you ever witnessed a child when they have lost sight of their parent and panic sets in… They are afraid, tears stream… cries can be heard!! I do believe we still can feel that panic and anxiety as adults. But as adults, we learn to internalize those emotions or just choose to suffer in silence.

The lost feeling can manifest within for many reasons. This life can be unpredictable and difficult at best. Each day a difficult hill to climb. But how do we cope? How do we hold on to a rope that seems to be unraveling?  Darkness and doubt can overcome our very existence.

Where do we turn, when our hearts are longing for relief? Where do we go when our souls are aching for answers?  It sometimes seems to hurt so bad we bleed. 

I am not a Dr. or even qualified to give medical or clinical advice. But I can share my heart. I have found a healer, a therapist, and a friend and a lover of our souls. That if you will open your heart and let His light in He will heal every scar. He will fill every void, He will bring a peace to your soul that you will have difficulty in understanding.  Where there once darkness, you will feel a warmth from the love that will glow from within.

There is no medical insurance needed, no copay, His heart is open 365 days a year rain or shine… I can’t recommend Him enough. 

So, how do you contact His office? Go to a quiet place. Close your eyes and call His name and wait on Him… Open the life manual He provided. It’s a best seller and holds a wealth of information…It’s called the Bible. Meditate on the words between the pages day and night.  The most important action is to chase Him with all you are worth. Never give up the rewards are endless… 

The only true cost is to LOVE Him… He will return love to you, far greater than you ever knew could exist. So, now I will ask you who in our troubled world could not use this type of LOVE.  

Its Him, It's Always Him!!

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. Psalm 62:5-6 ESV

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 ESV

Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops. Luke 12:3 ESV

Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly. Psalm 85:8..

The word perplexed is in the Bible only one time.

The meaning of perplexed: adjective. bewildered; puzzled: a perplexed state of mind. complicated; involved; entangled

This world and people, in general, can bring the most perplexing thoughts. How did we become so distracted from the importance of God,  life, and what is justice and truth? Or are we so busy with creating that facade we want others to see and envy ... Or is it our own hearts' desires of what we are dreaming and chasing? 

Just scroll through any page of social media. What is real? What are lies? What is the truth? So perplexing.. it can bring confusion, it can bring hate.. but there are some that show us it can be real and they show love and light. But do we chase and share the light or do we spread the darkness? 

It can be mind-boggling and perplexing to me when I witness what people value and find humor in..  

I challenge anyone who is reading this.. to gather with me and let’s focus on what is important. Let’s clear the air. Let’s shine God's Light ... He will lift the air of confusion. He will chase away the darkness. I pray we can regain truth and just and live in the real and in the now with a love that speaks kindness, compassion and strives to understand our differences. 

I do believe the day will come when we stand alone in front of our Creator. The question becomes will we be perplexed? Will we be confident and know Him? Will we greet Him with Love? Will we say I have missed your amazing Face! Or will we stand there confused and suddenly realize He is truly real and now we know what we have truly missed! Or will we be scared because we have to show Him all our truths and explain our behaviors? 

Now is the time to go to Him and end-all confusion. He has all the answers! Because HE is the Beginning and the End.. the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last.

I do feel we must focus on God to reach these goals. But I am only one, but all of the “ones” must feel His magnetic pull and come together in mass so we can make a difference in our world... Listen for His voice. He is calling His children home one soft whisper at a time. 

It’s Him it’s always Him 

In every way we're troubled, but we aren't crushed by our troubles. We're frustrated, but we don't give up. GWT

Chris McClarney - I'm Listening (Ft. Hollyn) (Offical Audio)

“Anyone who thinks fallen leaves are dead has never watched them dancing on a windy day.”– Shira Tamir

There are approximately 100 Bible Verses about Times and Seasons.

The meaning of seasons: each of the four divisions of the year (spring, summer, autumn, and winter) marked by particular weather patterns and daylight hours, resulting from the earth's changing position with regard to the sun.

When I think of seasons I think of change.. If we are blessed enough to watch and take in the beauty of nature we can see the cycle of what God outlined for us to witness.  There is such beauty in change.. some can bring harshness but there is always a new birth. 

Our life cycle has many seasons as well... Many are engrained in our Human existence as we travel in our daily lives... Birth, Teen, Adulthood, I do believe Adulthood has the most changes .. Young Adult,  Mature Adult.. and one we have labeled Senior.  Which I think should be called a well-seasoned adult. Their life experiences can teach us many things... If we would just take the time to listen to their stories. They can add so much flavor to our lives.. They have traveled where many have yet to explore ..

So where and how does this word affect our spiritual seasons? I can only speak to my spiritual journey. I must say I was birthed 25 months ago.. and I did not wait to take my first step I say I hit the floor running.  I have experienced an amazing adventure of discovering this new life. I feel there is still so much more to learn about our Heavenly Father, Yeshua, and the Holy Spirit. I can only hope that if you have been on my journey with me that you have witnessed some growth. I feel I have passed the toddler season ..lol

I am at least a teen spiritually 🥰 what an amazing spiritual season .. I have the experience of a seasoned adult in my human life but the wonder of life of a teen in my spiritual life.

I never quite understood the statement  “born again”. But now I can talk to this subject because I am living it.  

I am going to try my best to grab all the excitement of a teen as I grow in knowledge and strength spiritually... But I have decided. It’s Him that brings us this amazing resurgent of wonder and love of life and of people .. your soul feels alive with a love that must be shared... 

He is the catalyst for an amazing season of WOW that will last a lifetime. He keeps it beautifully changing .. and fresh ... He brings excitement and joy. I can only imagine what the season of eternity brings!!! Can you close your eyes and let your imagination run away with me!!! 

There will be peace, there will be love ... there will be music. There will be no politics. 🙃

Because we will all be in love with the only King worthy of our hearts. He says come as a child so think like one... There may be flying stallions that will whisk us away to a never-land with Him. ❤ 

It’s Him, It’s always Him

So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever, in Never Never Land! - Peter Pan 

We will call it Heaven!!! ❤

Be ready my friends!!

For everything, there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Seasons Change (ft. Michael Ketterer)

No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord Romans 8:39

The meaning of separate the action or state of moving or being moved apart. 

There are 27 verses about separation in the Bible.

I do believe we learn about separation at birth. At birth, our tiny souls are separated from our Heavenly Father. And we are given the gift of life to our parents. They are given the job to nurture and to love us until we grow to adulthood where once again we are separated. 

Both of these acts of separation are separation by location and should always keep the LOVE intact. 

However, there is a painful separation that happens because of judgment. And it’s one of the most painful separations to understand.  

It is man-made and so totally unnecessary.  

As we follow Christ, there are times we feel separated due to what people think. The Christian walk can become one of the most amazing beautiful love-filled but lonely walks we will ever face. 

But what I find amazing, the people who separate themselves from the lovers of Christ.. will be faced with a choice of loving and accepting Christ at some time in their life or I do believe there may be a price to pay in the afterlife. 

The choice will be to separate their heart from the ways of the world and to love and follow Him with all their heart, all their soul, all their strength, and all their mind. And the Christ lovers that you once pushed away will welcome you into His circle of love.  Where you will not be subjected to the judgment and separation felt by others that came to Him before you.

I do feel our souls are drawn to our Creator, we all travel at different rates of speed towards the evitable. We should not judge what we do not understand. We should embrace others and their differences. I do believe the more you learn about Christ and His love.. the less judgment you will feel in your hearts. 

The beauty of this separation is it promises a gift of life and love not just for eternity but for every waking moment we are blessed with on earth.  And there my friends is when the separation at birth will come full circle and the Heavenly bond you had at birth with the Heavenly Father will be restored. 

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 

He answered, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" Luke 10:27 NIV

The Love Of Christ - Wes King

“Seek the spirituality of your soul.”  ― Lailah Gifty Akita

...Meaning of search an act of searching for someone or something:

The word search appears 86 Instances in the Bible. 

It seems in life we are all searching. Searching for what becomes the question ?? That new car. Is it the right model? The perfect color? Perhaps we are searching for that next ring to the ladder of success? That job where you will monetarily feel you have finally arrived! Or is it that perfect partner that will fill that void?? 

We are all guilty of searching to fill an unexplainable void in our souls... But when we are facing our own mortality is what we have been searching for truly important?  As they say, you can not take those things with you... 

Now when we reflect on the word search, what do you see? For me, the word search has a new meaning. I say God search my heart ... Have I truly focused on what is important? 

Did I search for love? Did I see what was standing before me? Did I search for my Heavenly Father? Did I search to know more about Him and His life? Did I search for His heart? Did I search for His attainable Love? Did I search for His touch? Did I search for His words? Did I search for His voice?  

Well, I feel I must be a late bloomer as they say. Because when I look back in my life I did not search for the most amazing gift.. until He whispered His love song into my soul. 

And it was at that moment that He placed a desire in my heart to search for Him. I will continue to search for Him until the day comes that I stand before Him and say search my heart .. go ahead because you will find you have filled it with a love that I can not explain nor understand.  

I just know it was you! 

It’s Him, It has always been Him.

He wows me. The chase is on... 

Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? Job 11:7

There are 20 Bible Verses about Anticipation. 

The meaning of anticipation: expectation or prediction of something. 

Waiting on God can be the most amazing spiritual experience. However, it can and does tax our patience!!  However, if we can lean into His teachings, and learn to let Him lead, He will guide us on the most amazing spiritual journey of our lives. 

We will anticipate the unknown with wonder. There can be such an unusual range of emotions. There is a peace that will engulf our senses. There is such an excitement about His mystery. There is a yearning in our soul. There is a feeling of love in the deepest chambers of our hearts.

To walk with Him can bring anticipation of living life in each beautiful moment. I look forward to each sunrise. I look forward to each full illuminating moon. I look forward with great anticipation to get lost in His presence... 

Anticipation is truly making me wait... But I know with every fiber of my being He is so worth the wait... ❤ I will forever wait on Him. (I love discovering His mystery its the most amazing wonder we will ever pursue.) 

It’s Him, It’s always Him 

There is so much to discover. I do believe we will never be able to know everything about Him in this lifetime. 

Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Joshua 1:8

A self-narrated life-altering story inspired by a love far greater than one can describe. God whispered into my soul and said follow me. But the road had many questions, emotions, and events that brought me here to share my incredible story with you. 

My journey included many new and exciting things to explore. New LOVEs, New Music, New People, New Employment, New Travel, and Relationships being rebuilt and refreshed. 

I could see God's fingerprints at every turn. I now say, "I LIVE and LOVE in the WOW" so join me as I turn back time and share my story and heart with you. 

I do believe that he is not finished with me yet. And can't wait to see what the future may bring. This is an invitation to join me as we revisit many events that brought me to you. I do hope you listen and become a part of my journey. 

Wishing you a day of abundant love,
