Scapegoats & Heros

Some people on this earth come into your life like a key to a lock. They are sparks to ignite your life ablaze [in a wicked good way]. I m wicked blessed for my woman. She is my spark my igniter my sublime [restorer] restorator my resuscitation my replenishing fountain my best friend my soulmate my confidant my loyalty my every breath my family (wicked soon) my counsel my teacher my character reflection my mystical musing. Gods graceful gift
And I devote myself to Love care and protect
In discovering Love I believe we begin to search ourself at new depths. Love is from God and God will go deeper than we know to give us more than we ever conceived. When we begin to walk with God we begin seeing nothing is impossible for God. With God all things are possible. We being so many things when we walk with the Lord. And one I adore is the new depth of Love. And our new ability to love like God.
Maybe this sounds crazy to you. It is what I live.

Mindstorming...
My work on myself continues. The craft of a lifetime is the diligence to keep ourself at the grindstone of our own self workmanship
My work on letting go and letting God is still in its germination. More everyday every moment. And continually plant seeds
I need to be DILIGENT.
I need to work. A conscience effort to recognizing understanding moving forward and letting things go is paramount. I just had a thought... it is tough to move forward when carrying a lot of things. Literally and Figuratively.
Don’t continue to carry things in your life. Especially if you are feeling weighed down. Give God your yoke.

This was wicked interesting when I first read it.
From one of my readings this morning... "The words "I am.." are potent words; be careful what you hitch them to. The thing you're claiming has a way of reaching back and claiming you." - A.K. Kitselman
"A simple example of this is the difference between "I am ___(your name)___'" and "My name is ___________.""

We are all scapegoats and heros in our life. We are all justifiably and unjustifiably both during this thing called life. A wicked interesting concept my woman brandished me with this morning. Another reason this woman captivates me. [her mind]
I ask myself - when I am the scapegoat am I own the accountability I need to, discerning what I do not, giving grace to those who persecute, and forgiving all. And when I am the hero am I giving glory to God, sought after humbleness, seeking, encouraging, invoking.
I continue to work at applying paint to the canvas of my life. For my painting is unfinished. A great work of Art in human form - how I believe God sees us

In His image we are made
Angels they live around us
Speaking to us all the time
Listen

Grac3 be to You

Nature is the Art of God. [ ~ from my research this quote was first fruishionized by Dante ]
I'd like to take this a step further and say Humanity is the Art of God. And another step further to say that Our Talents and Gifts as Humans are the Art of God.

What am I striving to be? What am I striving for? Is (yes I meant to write "Is") my actions a reflection and compilation of attitudes and behaviors of where I look to be. Am I allowing myself to know God goes before me to make the way in the road ahead. And am I giving God my burdens so my yoke is light. Who am I what am I Why am I Where am I How am I


From www.maxlucado.com
A reading for this morning....
"The wasted years of life. The poor choices of life. God answers the mess of life with one word: grace! We talk as though we understand the term. But do we really understand it? Here’s my hunch: we’ve settled for wimpy grace. It politely occupies a phrase in a hymn, fits nicely on a church sign. Never causes trouble or demands a response. When asked, “Do you believe in grace?”—who could say no?
Ah, but grace is huge! Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off. When grace happens, it’s not a nice compliment from God we receive but a new heart. Give your heart to Christ, and he returns the favor. When grace happens, Christ enters. “Christ in you, the hope of glory!” "
“To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27″
Writing from Max Lucado's site. Max's powerful words for Grace. I love reading Max's writing on Grace.


I strongly encourage you to read or listen to some of Max's words. The man is truly blessed with an amazing gift. A gift we all can relate to. Communication.


This story about the papparrazzi (I dont give a rip I cant spell that word) who died running across a street after his chase to try and photograph what he believed to be Justine Beieber (yes, I called him Justine) is something to once again bring a spotlight to this odd (in my opinion) industry of Celebrity Gossip.
Hey people, you dont like how the paparazzi act - STOP BUYING GOSSIP MAGAZINES or BROWSING GOSSIP WEBSITES. STOP FEEDING THE MONSTER.
[ sarcastic font ] I know, its tough, cuz if you stop doing things that finance the paparazzi then how will you be in the know of what celebrities are doing... doing just like you do... normal life things... but with wayyyy more money than you... Must be tough.... wicked tough not knowing where a person who acts as another person in a film goes on vacation. I feel ya. We as the commonwealth neeeeeed to know where celebrities spend their money while on holiday.
*sometimes I really dislike society

Anyone else make a new years resolution to not believe in any more doomsday cults?


A word I am learning and re learning and studying is - discern
A word I believe all parents should equip themselves with and live - diligence
And
A word we should all allow ourselves to know love live give and take the time to understand - Grace




Stop breeding and DONT BREED is you believe that 18 years is asking a lot to devote yourself to the diligence in helping develop sponge minds


This just came to me... not fully aware of it making complete sense but nothing that comes out of my mind usually fully is... "No one can teach you to be authentic and genuine, you just hafta know who you are" ~ Me.
Know that Grace allows us to be imperfect and do work to better ourselves.
