Proverbs 15:1 — “A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.” Take every thought captive. I always thought I knew what this meant, but I was very wrong about it. Then I started making major changes in my life and was shown these verses in Isaiah 55:8 -11: 8 “My thoughts …
I was Captivated…
It’s the depth that no one sees, the deepest soul of things. Paint that hides underneath the yellowed varnish that was forgotten for a hundred years or more, until one brave chisel flaked away the dark to show the light. The ugly turns beautiful like the old is renewed. It causes me to ponder the …
Doing Hard Things…
Doing hard things today…I can’t really explain but this growing upward and leaving behind surely isn’t some cakewalk. I’ve had to reach out for help and cry out, “please help me get through this moment”. A few minutes and a few tears released are just what I need sometimes. No, nothing is wrong, no one …
…Can You Hear Me Now?
Sometimes we don’t hear Yahweh/God because we don’t know how to accept silence or stillness. Sometimes it’s denial or other reasons but if we learn to be silent and be still we can hear His voice. It may not be loud or coming through a trumpet, it might be like the tinkling sound of brass. …
Our Mission
Our mission should be to have an intimate relationship with Yeshua/Jesus. If we ever lose sight of this then the present reality will be unbearable. Yahweh/God created us for a kind of joy, unmitigated sheer delight, that is rarely experienced in this day. If we don’t live Now, with Then in view, we would move through …
Empowerment
Blessed by the VERY best!! I have been so empowered today…words of Hope, love, truth, freedom from bondage; every day releasing bondage and accepting peace.
Really working on discipline in my life. Finding balance with my Messiah through relationship with Him. Everyday is a new day of erasing ego issues aka opposite of the Fruits of the Spirit.
- The opposite of love is hate.
- …of joy is self-pity.
- …of peace is discontent.
- …of patience is impatience.
- …of kindness is ill-mannered.
- …of goodness is greed.
- …of faithfulness is unfaithful.
- …of gentleness is spiteful.
- …of self-control is controlling.
Recognizing these things may not feel empowering at the moment but later on I usually see the blessing in going through this process. I love learning new things, even if they are things I may not like, but it’s always nice to know that I can turn things around and start choosing to have better habits and a positive attitude.

He Tells Me He Loves Me…
I’m just a girl. “You were not a mistake, for all your days are written in my book. Psalm 139:15-16 I determined the exact time of your birth and where you would live. Acts 17:26 You are fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14 Yahweh is in awe over his creation of us and fears us …
Spirit Move Me
It’s in that moment when being around someone and know and trust and feel what they have felt, though never touching one another. I go to him in solidarity and my tears heal me and it’s not as if I’m crying it’s the spilling over of the holy spirit that exudes from within me. I’m …
On Becoming
Paul understood the importance of discipline in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 he emphasizes that, as followers of the Most High God, our spiritual lives form the core of our character. If our character is flawed our spiritual lives will be also. Inspiration and talent will only carry you so far. The habits you form will sustain …
A Tireless Endurance
She comes to me and says, I’m depressed. I stay up all night and watch tv I sleep all day because I cannot bear loneliness in the night I cannot bear the silence or the days of light the dark is what I long for the time when I close my eyes and the nothing …
