In Living Color

Are we among the Walking Dead…. Are we living in the grey?  Are we drowning in stagnant waters? 

I have lived long enough to have seen and felt life with an unclear purpose… just tumbling from one day to the next, a life with little meaning, no luster. 

Being stagnant without purpose can leave you with an empty, unfulfilled feeling—sad, perhaps depressed… possibly floundering…  in your limited space. 

Nothing in the world can light a flame in your heart and give you purpose like Him!!  He is the miracle worker who can breathe life into the lifeless. He can find that faint pulse and make your heart beat like a professional rhythmist… He can take your soul places your mind has difficulty understanding!!  He is alive in full and living color!!! 

It’s Him! It will always be Him!  

Color would not be possible without light; 

He is our LIGHT …. Our purpose!  Our love! Our newfound Hope!   

It’s Him!!!!!!!! 

Living with Him in our hearts brings unexplainable joy and peace that others will not understand. It may be difficult to explain His wondrous love!

I say, “Don’t contain it. Let His color of LOVE flow to every corner of our world!!!” 

Burst forth in color, my Friends... He is what gives life the WOW factor!!

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 

I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. John 12:46

In the same way, let your light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16 

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6

After painting the above image, I stumbled across this explanation of colors. He does work in mysterious ways... He blows my mind...

Fear is a self-imposed prison that will keep you from becoming what God intends for you to be. You must move against it with the weapons of faith and love. – Rick Warren

Meaning of scared fearful; frightened.

The word scared is referred to approximately 32 times in the Bible. But 'Fear not,' is in the Bible 365 times,”

I fear that my opening my heart for the world to see will never be enough... But what do I have of value to repay Him for a love that is too rich to fully understand? I have nothing but my heart... So, I share it willingly in hopes that you see a glimpse of Him...  There is no need to be scared. However, I do remember as a child being afraid.

I was so afraid I lost the ability to speak... I was frozen and could not move...I was alone in my darkroom... I pulled the covers up to my eyes... And watched the creepy shadows dance across the walls. The walls seem to get closer and closer, and the shadows began to take on scary shapes... My heart began to pound and breathing became shallow. I tried to call out to my earthly Father, but I could not make a sound... I began to tremble.  But then I took a deep breath gathered all my courage and screamed his name.

”daddy!!!”

As always, He came to my rescue. He turned on the light... And tried to console me and he lovingly reassured me that he would always be close. He hugged me, and as I settled in his to his arms.. I felt safe and fell into a deep slumber...

As we grow... being scared is a well-guarded emotion. But I do believe everyone that has breath has moments in life they feel like a scared child... It could be a darkroom; it could be the uncertainties of life... It could be health or financial issues... or even death. Everyone can and will experience those dark scary moments ...  

When we become adults, we outgrow the ability to pull the covers over our eyes and scream our parents name and they will take care of the issue for us.

We are taught to be strong. And so, we ask ourselves do I have to face my fears alone???  

Alone can be a scary word... Can we just call out our Heavenly Father’s name?  Will He turn on the light and show us that with Him things in our world are not so scary..

He will hold and comfort us no matter the time, no matter the day... No matter the issue ... And if you feel the need to curl up in His arms and rest... He will hold you while you sleep...

It's Him! It's always Him!!!

He is the light that guides my heart!!! He is the whisper that comforts my soul! He is my rock in the darkest moments!!! 

“The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall, I fear?  The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?” Psalm 27:1

“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.”

Psalm 55:22

“Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. “Deuteronomy 31:6

“Do you know that you could catch a cold from, the ice inside your soul?” Is there a remedy? 

Meaning of cold of or at a low or relatively low temperature, especially when compared with the human body.

We located 29 verses in the Bible that references the word cold... 

Do frozen tears stream from cold hearts ... How do we penetrate such a hardened heart??? What are these cold hearts afraid of ??  Or are they so consumed with themselves that they have nothing left to give ?? 

Cold hearts make my soul sad... Because I feel that I am not equipped to reach into their darkness. I have tried to find that spark in their eyes... I have tried to hear their heartbeat... Their breath is so shallow... so distant... I question is there a glimmer of life left inside?? Or is their soul withering away?? 

How can we reach them?  

I have a burning desire in my soul to share a gift of love that was so graciously given to me!!  

It’s Him! He has that healing touch!! 

I have discovered the path to a warm place... a place that can melt hearts in this cold world... It's a safe place filled with abundant amazing love...

If I could drag you along I would... But He had made my heart too light... 

I will extend my hand please follow me to this wonderland ... 

You must find the strength to take that first step...  You must desire this love with all your strength, soul, and heart!! 

Don’t be afraid... Trust Him! 

He gives us the freedom of choice... But a am afraid time is like a ticking bomb!!! 

Choose Him !!! Before it’s too late !! 

Choose...

It’s Him, It has always been Him 

He is the answer to any question. He is the answer to all desires. He is the remedy... Only He can fill the void in your soul... 

He is the reason my heartbeats. He poured love into my heart that ignited the spark of life into a raging fire... 

He is the fire within!!  Get lit! 🔥

He WOWs me!   

“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. Revelation 3: 15-16

Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test! 2 Corinthians 13:5 

“For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. '” — Jeremiah 29:11.

Proverbs 25:13

As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.

Foreigner - Cold As Ice (Official Lyric Video)

Therefore, you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Matthew 24:44

The meaning of tell to communicate information, facts, or news to someone in spoken or written words. “I told her you were coming." 

There are 652 Verses About Tell from 48 Books. 

If you had the news in your heart that could change the world, would you want to share it!!! Would you want to shout it from the mountain tops? Or would you let fear dominate your mind and sit on such amazing news??? 

Well, I must share my heart!!  Don’t ask me why. It truly is way out of my comfort zone, but I have grown in so many ways these last three years... I found a love that rocked my world!! And He gave me the strength to discover who I am... And I am no longer afraid to shout His name from the mountain tops .. I no longer care what others will think??? I will tell you; I love Him out loud and proud... 

He has shared so many things with me!!  But I must open my heart and tell you some amazing news!!! 

He is coming home!!! 

Have you ever given it any thought that our world is also His home? The home He grew up in.... He was born here.  He grew up learning about what it’s like to live as a child, a teen, a man...He was baptized here. He performed miracles here. Many loved Him. Many misunderstood Him. Many feared His heavenly connection. He made many memories while walking here on earth. 

We have all experienced that warm going home feeling. We seem to get that feeling because our memories and people we have grown to love live there.

Can you image what a celebration it will be! It will be heard all over the world and beyond... Every media channel will share the news!!! Many believers are readying themselves for such an amazing home coming!!! Hearts will dance. Songs of praise will fill the air... and our souls will feel His presence and be filled with that heavenly love that can only come from knowing Him. ...It’s a love that our souls have longed for. 

Will you join me in organizing this amazing celebration?? Will you help me shout from the mountain top... Let’s gather our hearts, Let every soul ready themselves for the most amazing celebration!!! 

Tell the world that He is coming Home!!!  Keep your eyes fix 

to the sky for the most amazing phenomenon that man can ever witness!!  Whether you are earthly bound or heavenly found!!! Look just beyond the clouds!!! He is the brightest star in all the universe!! And He is coming sooner than we may think!!

It’s Him! It’s always Him!!!

Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works. 1 Chronicles 16:9

Revelation 1:7 (ESV) Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail^[a] on account of him. Even so. Amen.

We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

1 John 1-3

One day early in my journey I had a conversation with my Heavenly Father and ask Him this question.

How do you feel about social media? I suggested that it would be a great way for me to tell my story of His great LOVE. I was a very private person before He touched my soul. But when this happened I step out of the shadows of life and into His LIGHT. I have shared so much that vulnerability became a way of life. But I would not change a thing... it has been the most amazing journey of my life...  

And as they say, the rest is history... This is a gift to Him, from my heart.

I could not have done any of it without Him... He has blessed me in so many ways...There is nothing I have that can repay Him but my LOVE. 

I pray that somewhere within the words, images, and meditations that I have shared we have touched your heart. 

Never underestimate what our Heavenly Father, can do with just a pinch of clay... He WOWs me.

The blog has 24,500 views, and the podcast has 2,040... and If one of those happens to be you.

Thank you. 

Please share His Love... your life with never be the same. 

But now, O LORD, you are our father; we are the clay, and you our potter; and we all are the work of your hand. thou art. Isaiah 63:16.

Thank you, to you the reader for taking the time to read what has been inspired by a GREATER Love. When I started this adventure, He closed some doors but opened many others. And I remember saying if I could share His love with just one soul, I would consider this a win... My heart, vulnerability, and LOVE have been shared within these pages of this blog. So, it has been quite a growing experience. But HE knew that this would be the case!! I thank my LOVEs, you the reader, and my special friend Joann for walking through this adventure of discovering the greatest LOVE, I have ever known. HE WOWs me!!!

Victory Is Yours (LIVE) - Bethel Music | VICTORY

A God Moment is that personal encounter one may experience where God's purpose, presence, and love is revealed. -Rev. Lewis Macklin

Meaning of moment: a very brief period of time:

There are approximately 126 times the word moment is used or referred to in the Bible. 

What makes a memorable moment?  Do we live moment to moment? How do we measure a moment in time? Our memories are a fragmented glimpse of images that flash within our Heart, Soul, and Mind... 

We all mark moments in time with significant events that happen to us as we travel this road we call life...  If I asked you what are the significant moments that flood your memories with heartfelt thoughts.. perhaps it's college, it could be the engagement to your significant other, maybe your wedding, or perhaps it's the moment you hear your newborn child’s cry as they lovingly place them in your arms! I am sure we have such a diverse, yet very similar list. 

What if I asked you the same question about your spiritual life? What are your significant moments? Did you feel the hunger in your soul when you were a child? Or were you dutifully going through the moments one Sunday at a time?  Was it your baptism? Or did you have a significant moment that turned your life to discover a greater love? I do believe we all have that pivotal moment in time when God whispers to our heart come my child it’s time to embark on a journey of discovery! He creates moments that will leave you in awe?  He will fill your soul with wonder. We then will begin to want to know more.. about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Some embark on new habits. Some of us study the scriptures, some meditate, some may start a journal. But no matter what tools we use we do begin building a new understanding and relationship. We realize that He and He alone can enrich our lives one moment at a time... 

Do we close our eyes and dream of future moments? Do we have hopes that our dreams come true?? Can you imagine that moment when we can gaze into our Creator's beautiful face! Just imagine!! 

Will we be scared? Will we be filled with a love that can not be contained? Will we fall at His feet in complete surrender? 

I do believe it will be a moment that will take our breath away... It will be a moment that will be the most monumental moment we will ever experience... Because it’s the moment that this love we have been feeling stirring in our soul, will consume our spiritual existence. We will see that void and hunger we have been feeling dissipate one loving moment at a time. For the first time, we will feel a completeness that will be hard to describe. He is such a feel thing... The things we feel for Him on this earth are only a fragment of the overflow we will achieve in His presence... You will be consumed in His gift of love. It’s at that moment in time you will feel a love for Him deeper than you ever dreamed possible. You will fall in love with the one who holds the key to a love greater than our human mind has been able to fully comprehend. 

It’s Him, It’s always been Him.

The Father, His beautiful Son, and His very breath The Holy Spirit... He is the Only One ❤

We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. 1 John4:16

“A man has joy in making an apt answer, and a word spoken at the right moment–how good it is!” Proverbs 15:23 AMPC

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace, you have been saved…Ephesians 2:4-5

Encounter (feat. Dustin Smith) (Live)

Meaning of shaking: To cause to move with quick vibrations; to move rapidly one way and the other; to agitate; as the wind shakes a tree; an earthquake shakes the hills or the earth.

There are approximately 18 verses about shaking. 

Shaking can take me in many directions... Our body trembles when we are cold or sick... The earth trembles with what we have identified as earthquakes... They can happen at any time, anywhere, even under the sea... 

Approximately 2 years ago as I sat in my favorite chair I felt this strange sensation of trembling... And my 4-year granddaughter came running out of her room. She was scared and felt the tremor as well... I thought no it can not be? An earthquake in Tennessee?  Little did I know they happen all the time. 

Here is a snapshot of today activity (March 4, 2021);  Tennessee, United States has had: (M1.5 or greater) 1 earthquake in the past 24 hours 7 earthquakes in the past 7 days; 29 earthquakes in the past 30 days;

That blows my mind... is it a warning of what’s to come??  

The Bible speaks of shakings. Does God allow the shaking of His children so they will wake up and take notice that there is a bigger beautiful picture ahead? 

I do believe many are hiding their heads in the sand, in hopes this day will never come...There are some that do not believe in our Creator's teaching... ? And claim it is nonsense!! And then there are some who know this day will come... because they know our Creator. And they trust our God, our Savior, and our King with all their heart, all their soul, and all of their mind... 

It is written in Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour no one knows.”. 

Some feel that God allowed Covid 19 to shake the men and women of our world. Was this disease like the earthquake?  Was it meant to shake souls? Was this another warning to wake up?? With each past day, the time of God's only begotten Son's victory is becoming more and more evident.  How much can we abuse our world? How much can we show hate and discord? 

Are we sick with fear? Do our bodies tremble?? Do we run like little children into His arms for peace, protection, and His mighty promise to love us through this earthly life and beyond !! He has given us a glimpse that there is a bigger picture !!! Heaven awaits for His chosen few. 

It’s Him, It has always been Him. He is the alpha and the omega. The beginning and the end... This life on earth begins and ends with Him.  But our spiritual life begins and never ends with Him!! He wows me!!! 

I pray you are shaken and not stirred. 

For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land. And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. (Haggai 2:6-7)

(Jesus speaking) Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. (Matthew 24:29)

 ”Love is like a butterfly, a rare and gentle thing.” – Dolly Parton

Meaning of butterfly: a nectar-feeding insect with two pairs of large, typically brightly colored wings that are covered with microscopic scales.

Butterflies in the Bible are not expressly found in Scripture but they seem to parallel to the Christian walk... 

As I laid back with my eyes closed this morning and prayed.  I had a very random thought jump into my head “The butterfly and the soul”... I found this strange because I was not thinking of butterflies or souls. So why? hmm is there more to this thought? Is there a lesson? Did God plant that thought into my mind to feel my fluttering heart ?? Or perhaps to let His love give me the feeling of butterflies in my soul?

Have you ever studied a fragile butterfly and truly wonder how did this beauty start out as such a squirmy insect? Let's start at the beginning and try to find a deeper understanding of this big word metamorphosis.

The butterfly life cycle includes four stages: stage one: egg; stage two: caterpillar stage three: pupa; and stage four: adult butterfly. Butterflies transform through these stages. This transformation is called metamorphosis.

Now when we look at our souls, and we take steps closer and closer towards Christ we can see parallels. Our Personal Cycles of Transformation, Rebirth, and Renewal become quite evident... 

As we study Christ and move towards His lifestyle and His way of thinking a metamorphosis of our mind, body, and soul can be felt stirring deep within.

I can only speak of my experience and my observation of others that are on the same journey of chasing Christ. Many of us are in different stages of our walk with Him as well as in our lives.  

I do think once you accept Christ into your heart. Your once dormant soul will begin its journey. I feel all believers are much like the Monarch butterfly we start our soul’s migration towards home... 

There seem to be many changes that happen to each Christian depending on their life trials. We are all a work in progress just traveling towards our final destination at different rates of speed. 

As our soul hears the call of our Creator and we began to follow Him. Many of us will experience rejection. Many of us will experience loneliness. Many will withdraw, many will go to their safe cocoon to regroup, and to learn about this great love they have found. 

This love will teach us about life and love and it will give us the promise that we are never alone.  Each one of us will go through a personal experience with Christ. One that only the one chasing Him will deeply understand.

He will bring us through the most amazing transformation of our lives. He tenderly teaches His precious little souls the importance of each day. The importance of each life. The importance of loving. And the beauty of life itself. 

As we grow stronger in His loving hands. A beautiful soul will emerge. And you will find He has filled you with His love and He has given you wings to fly. He will release your once dormant soul to taste the freedom to love without boundaries. It’s a love that you never knew even existed. 

 Your LOVE for Him and your metamorphosis makes this new birth your story and your life’s purpose. If we would just take the time to study nature we would see the many clues He has laid before us… His knowledge, His Love, His beauty, His caring heart…

 He .... 

There truly are not enough words in all the languages in the world to describe Him… 

It's Him, It's always Him.

WOWd by Him ... 😍
