Potters wheel.

Two weeks ago I couldn't think of a single word to say...NOW there isnt enough time to say them all.
We SERVE a RISEN KING!!! WOW...how awesome that HE would choose us.
Today I think of a potters wheel.. No, not Demi-Patrick, but you know what I mean.
We are just a unrecognisable BLOB of clay- swishy mud, no form, no shape, no life. HE touches and mushes and spins us and we sit and spin and mush. HIS loving hands gliding over the shapeless blob.. no one sees the vessel in the blob but HIM. No one knows if it will be a vase of importance or a daily jug for carrying water or cooking beans. He manuevers at will, HE shapes and molds and spins us some more. HIS HANDS lovingly shaping us. AND then there on the wheel. IT appears the vessel, exactly as HIS eyes have seen it all along. He didnt see the blob HE saw the finished vessel hidden somewhere in the BLOB... He pronounces "IT IS FINISHED" Fit for use for HIS desire, for HIS purpose... LET HIM!!!

Let the SONshine in...

It has been some time since I wanted to blog. I let my guard down and I believed lies from my enemy.I let him sucker-punch me..His job is to KILL, STEAL, and DESTROY..I chose to listen to doom and gloom, misery,wo-is-me and hide in a cloak of darkness. Soon his job was easier because I took the club he was using and started whacking myself. Well, thank you to all my praying-buddies who have kicked my booty and told me to get it back in line. I choose to put on a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Someone told me I needed a dose of sunshine..I have chosen SONshine. The clouds they be a-risin'...

Lion KING- Lying King

Lion King? or Lying King?
The lion cub. Born for greatness, chose to listen to the lies of his enemy. He looked like a friend, he sounded like a friend, even smelled like family, but he was his enemy. At great cost he listened to the lies.
The cub wandered into dry, desolate place, looking for peace. He was befriended, by those who did not know who he was, what he was destined for. He listened to these "friends" and ate bugs. Not your typical royal feast.
The enemy reigned in the cub's rightful place. He spoke defeat and hopelessness to everyone around him and they listened and believed the lies too.
When the cub came to his senses and started listening to the right messages and look to heaven for his directions. He lifted his head and made the decision to return to his rightful place. His inheritance. The true King returned and defeated the cowardly toothless enemy.
Seem metaphorical to you...

Are you in the race!!!

I have been thinking about runners. Not that I want to be one, but how I admire them.
The training, the discipline, the dedication. I started thinking of this race we are running...some call it the rat race. It occured to me, some have chosen to run a sprint..fast start, quick finish. Then there are those who train and run the marathon. Now that is some race. Long, endurance, straining for the prize set before them. Which will you choose? Are you looking forward to the PRIZE? I think it might be just around the next bend. If not, perserverance is the name of the game.
We have the best trainer running the race along beside us.

Liar Liar Pants On FIre!!

So, how's it goin'. I have been missing you. I have returned from the Land of Odd and feel much better.
I CAN NOT believe I fell for the same old lies. Satan is a liar. He can not tell the truth, so why did I listen when he came peddling his garbage? Not sure,same old trip around the mountain. I can see from the blogs I read I am not the only one that has fallen for his lies.
He is a liar. When he says you're worthless- What you should repeat often and believe is this truth: You are of great value You are Chosen, Priceless, The Bride of Christ--Child of the MOST HIGH GOD..shall I continue....
When he spouts defeated-repeat after me: I am victorious, God is my strong tower, I am surrounded by a great host of angels, I read the book and the cliff notes I WIN!
Hopeless- I don't think so..My hope is in Christ Whom or what shall I fear.
I have read the book and cliff notes, We may loose a few battles...But WE WIN THE WAR!!!

Keep on keepin'on

I know you are out there, I know you are following, and I know you are wondering where the words of wisdom (lol) are. Let's just life is a stony place right now and I choose not to share what is in my deep thoughts. I want my words to be uplifting and encouraging and joyful. So right now I am on a journey seeking these things. I am ok, and when I find the place/words again to lighten your load or walk in your shoes I will put it out there.. For now I will keep on keepin' on...
I know my GOD is loving, kind, faithful and true and I will walk out of this better for it.
Praying for you all everyday... Mary.mimi
