The video is really classy with a surprise ending - and not to put anyone down - I think that it misses the mark completely. Instead of me thinking yes, I need to be more aware, my kids need to be more aware, it disturbed me on a intimate personal level.

We were in church on Sunday morning and one of my boys leans over to me and says, "Mom, you know, you really are the loudest one here."
We attend City Harvest- a Spirit-filled non-denominational church - not quite considered holy roller church, with chandelier swinging, but definitely a big step from my Catholic up-bringing and a little bit "nontraditional."

God wants me (and you) to trust Him to be who He created me (us) to be. That is the person He will use to move mountains, that is the person He will use to feed the five thousand with just a little bread and dried up salty fish.

I woke up last night and couldn't get back to sleep...there was too much anticipation, too much joy, too much bubbling hope...in the silence of my house I could almost hear the music of it. Revival. A move of God's Holy Spirit, breathing on my family, my town, my city, my state and country. A move of new, deeper, stronger, pure relationship with the Holy Spirit.

I became a Christian the year I turned 16. Jesus saw me and He loved me. When I was baptized my brief explanation was, "He raised me out of death in to life!" And it was true.
I'd been to a Duran Duran concert the winter before I became a Christian. I was a true "80's Durannie. We had front row seats.

In 2012 my word was ALL. As in All things work together for the good of those who love God, as in God's ALL. I looked up scriptures, and don't have all my All scriptures handy, but there was a lot of ALL in there. Alot of amazing God and faithful God, in that one little word. Alot of life change there.

So, I think, that the Holy Spirit is always moving forward. Always pushing for some kind of change. Now, that change can take years, because, really, the Creator of Time sees Time as, well, nothing. God doesn't measure time in human terms. After years of me complaining about God's perfect timing, I've learned at least this much.
Yet, still the Holy Spirit is Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26825488.post-9387557124175880542012-07-20T16:03:00.000-07:002012-07-20T16:05:44.446-07:00Idols
Moses lead them out of Egypt. It didn't happen overnight. Without doing any research I remember that it took some time before the Hebrews got to that Mountain where God held his Presence and gave Moses the Commandments. Along the way some lessons were learned, and it's obvious to me that the children of Israel should have understood the reality of a living Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26825488.post-17060459770234051292011-05-09T13:40:00.000-07:002011-05-09T13:46:43.119-07:00reaching for the communityDonations pour in for victims of Rolling Creek apartment blaze

Sharp. Prickly. Spiked. Hooked. Some are obvious in their danger, with a red warning flush reaching up the sharp spine, impossible not to notice even at first glance, while others are so tiny and delicate, a person is often oblivious to them until too late. The wise gardener guards against all thorns with a pair of good gloves.
