Shout it Out

Have you had God talk to you lately?



Sometimes its just a whisper,

Sometimes its just a word,

But sometimes, He gets right up in your face.



I had that happen.

Its awesome,

magical,

inspirational.



But sometimes,

its scary,

convicting,

and its the truth.



I know its the Truth.

But sometimes,

it hurts to hear it.



God is amazing.

God is love.

And God,

is my everything.

TIME OUT!!

"Too much to do, and too little time."
Have you heard that before? Perhaps even said it before?

Its just seems like the time flies by so quickly and then we wonder where it went.
Our children grow up right before our eyes.

~In the blink of an eye~

But why are we so busy?

I challenge you, this Sabbath day, to leave your watch on the dresser. Leave the cell phone turned off or in a pocket.
Don't check the time.
Don't even look at the clock.
Just go somewhere with your family. A park or even your backyard will work; somewhere outdoors, in nature. Just look at God's creation, all of it, which includes you by the way.
Just to spend one day with no schedule,
nowhere to go,
nowhere to be.
Just to be present.
I think that's what God wants,
For us to be present,
With Him.


"Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you." ~Carl Sandburg

Starts with a kiss

It started with a kiss,
The mocking.
The wounds.
The bleeding,
Congealing.
Swelling,
Scratched and scraped.
Bloodied and bruised.
Beaten beyond recognition
Blunt force trauma.

And He did it for me.
