Warning
For everyone's notice, my writting skills are a work in progress like everything else. It takes me drafts and much thought. This is all new to write a blog so bear with me:) Not sure what all to put on here but I know the Holy Spirit will guide. Thinking stories and challenges. To THE ONE who I live for Yeshua and Ye su, or in Korean Hananeem(God) or Yesuneem (Jesus).

The next step
Okay- It's 11:05 pm the 24th of February- way over due. It's been humbling. Had to postpone a garage sale for another 2 weeks because of 70 % chance of rain. Valentines day weekend I had the stomach flu- yet God gave me 6 valentines that day who always rock my world one way or the other;) This Tuesday I wake up with swollen glands grrrr.
Where to begin? In the book of Romans 9, it discuses Abraham and Sarah- who God promised a child. It is Isaac who made babies with Rebekah and it result in Jacob and Esau... It says verse 11 "Yet, before the twins were born or had done anything good or bad- in order that God's purpose in election might stand: not by work but by HIM WHO CALLS- she was told, 'The older will serve the younger.' Just as it is written:'Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.' What then shall we say? Is God unjust? Not at all! For he says to Moses, 'I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.' It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort but on God's mercy. For Scripture says to Pharaoh: 'I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth'". Should the Scripture just be quoting what God said to Pharaoh or could it be pointing to you and me?
I am so amazed that God uses little know-it-all-human dweeebs. Why am I striving when what Jesus has done on the cross should deliver me from striving? All I need is to know God and ask the Holy Spirit to guide me into all truth and all that is in the treasure chest behind Jesus. Once I accepted the love gift of Jesus( who put his heart out there on display on the cross. Sometimes I think He sits beside people who don't understand or know what He has done, stares into their eyes and says do you see me? Do you know how much I love you? Everytime you turn away from me or choose not to see me its like stabbing my heart I put out there for you. Do you know how many presents I have that are individually made for you to enjoy but you choose not to notice me?- Ahhhh! God is screaming do you get me?, in the book of Isaiah God gave me revelation of we are fallen nature. God's consistent tape In Isaiah 51 is look up, listen. We fallen man, made out of dust can be found on the floor. He being Jesus is trying to refocus our gaze upward. Honestly why look at your toes when you have the sky? Your really missing out on whats around you and sure God may speak to you through looking at your walking feet to walk with him on the same path, to the same place, in the same stride and pace as Him. Hmmm Like Micah 6:8 "He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act just and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." Simple Isn't it! Yet He purposefully designed everything around us to point at Him... to continue from the tangent), die to my idiotic and prick like pride and thank him with a hug then I can reach behind Jesus and grab that inheritance of treasure!haha! Actually its more through him we access this. He was the wall to the treasure and once you accepted this gift of eternal crazy adventurous life then He becomes the go between you and this treaure. Really we get caught up with the point of getting the goods and miss the person of Jesus. We become so hungry after that treasure, Jesus becomes invisible and our goal driven tunnel minded focus looses the true focus on the person. Take what I say with a grain of salt.
Here is a challenge: So today Club Hope graciously invited me to speak about YWAM and all that it stands for and my connection to it. Did an ice breaker game of make a story with a group of people who had lost one of their abilities to either: see, hear, speak, walk, or use their hands. It was a challenge but I enjoyed seeing how all of them kept forgetting their limitation:) The stories were creative and honest efforts were given. My head got a bit lost in what I was trying to portray (Annalyse please write it out- self reminder:), but I know I have time to improve my speaking skills. Heck! Like Paul- I'm not here to show my eloquence in words but like what was mentioned earlier that He "might display my power in you (me) and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth'. After the presentation, prayer came and God did something I wasn't expecting. This one gentleman was full of the word and told me a bit about himself that he had come from a Jewish heritage and that has only sharpened him to know the word thoroughly. I noticed his pupils were different but didn't think anything of it. He puts money in my hand saying "Take this. The spirit is on you and could be felt through you. I can see your hungry for the things of God and it is so refreshing to hear your excitment and all that the Lord is doing in your life. You are of the Spirit and you will give birth to spirit. Go be used." I said thank you, only peaking at the money to see 10 on the big. I was touched he did this. I get into my car and take out the bill to find two zeros rather than one at the end. To Urban cafe with a few club members and we talked about this gentleman who gave me the money. I found out he was blind! Immediatley I put the Bengie Bill into a special place because, did this blind gentleman mean to give me this? What would you do in this situation? Finished at 12:02.Bloggers send your answer:)
