Directions? Who needs them...

Image
Directions, im horrible when trying to explain them. I can't retain them when given to me verbally.  I don't know if I just tune out or plainly don't even listen. ““Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.  But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 NIV                                    Being single was way easier, and I had everything I wanted and all the money I needed.  Now, I have absolutely nothing......  Nothing...      Starting a new life with someone does require a new style of living. So far when walking with God, I've learned that I'm sometimes stubborn and stripped of most or allot my possessions.   I don't miss my phone.  Doesn't matter where I am; the park, in ...

A look into the past...... year that is!

From the city to the country, he's followed me the whole way!! It was interesting to see Shane's reaction to the country.  Honestly I didn't think he would like it because it was so far out. Later in the year the trees pretty much grow over the road and create a canopy effect.  We probably spent days walking miles around just exploring and see what was around.  I loved that he enjoyed it as much as I do.  I love to get detached from the city every now and them.  Helps keep me sane maybe lol. Above is one of my favorites I took.  Was surprised the iPhone 6s+ would have even picked up the moon at all, but I love how it turned out.  I don't remember why we were out that late, it gets super dark at night. Not much left of this one. Cleverly hidden amongst the pines is a CopperHead I almost sat on. Gotta be more careful!

New beginnings

  Patience is they key.  I've come to learn that; “Impatience is not only a mark of immaturity and unbelief, but it is a mark of fleshly living.” Excerpt From: Wiersbe, Warren. “The Strategy of Satan.” Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., 2011-12-15. iBooks.  Blending two different lived together is never easy, but with perseverance, patience, and a few other key fruits it can be done.   The only differences we have is 17 years.  Yes it makes a relationship difficult, and many times I forget that there is that age gap between us.  On the plus side,we've almost reached one year, and it has been difficult and rough. Worth every moment.      A Better Beginning  A night stroll around Dallas, babe looking for abandoned places.  This one was quite an interesting find. Above photo was taken by me.  Below is one from Wikipedia to show full building, and some history of it from an additional source credited below. The  Knights of Pythia...

From Life to Choices

Choices are what make our history. Is there a set destiny? Is our future already planned out?  I think not....?  Maybe it's just because I havent been given the copy of the last chapter of "My Life"... I find it fascinating that one single choice can make such major changes in Time. If such Choice can make that large of an impact on our life, how much more does a single choice effect our Children? How much can that single choice we make for them change their history?

Two Years Later

Can't believe it's been two years already.  Time flies by when your focus is off.  Tonight I was going through some old files and found a blog I never posted a few years ago, and believe it or not I did exactly what I said I should not do.  That is going back to the service industry.  I made exactly what I said I would, but money is not everything.  I did have fun running a small wine bar and meeting many new people in the Gayberhood of Oak Lawn in Dallas Texas.  Some good and some a bit off, but that's anywhere you go.  I've strayed off from my calling over the past two years, but there again I spent 9 years full time, 7 day's a week doing church/ministry.  I have had many people tell me there is no such thing as full time ministry, and my response is "Shit, guess you haven't worked for R.O. then..." Through all this I have been through so much good and bad, but out of it all I have found one true thing that has rekindled the fire in my heart. Wh...

Unraveling Dream

Leviticus 25:1-7 25  The  Lord  spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,   2  “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into  the land that I give you, the land shall keep a Sabbath to the  Lord .   3  For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its fruits,   4  but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the  Lord . You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.   5  You shall not reap what grows of itself in your harvest, or gather the grapes of your undressed vine. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.   6  The Sabbath of the land [ a ]  shall provide food for you, for yourself and for your male and female slaves [ b ]  and for your hired worker and the sojourner who lives with you,   7  and for your cattle and for the wild animals that are in you...

Revealing God's Plan

Image
“Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20) In fact our citizenship is now in heaven (Philippians 3:20). We are in the world, but not of the world. We are now born from above, from God. But God has us here as his representatives, his ambassadors. As ambassadors, we are not doing our own business, but the business of heaven. As ambassadors for Christ, we should be speaking for God, not for ourselves. We should be speaking accurately in Christ’s name (Luke 24:47;Colossians 3:17; 1 Peter 4:11; Isaiah 59:21). Our mission is to work with God to bring rebels to the place where they will obey the gospel. All men are rebels by nature and need a radical change if they are going to have any eternal future with God. The old must go, the new must come (2 Corinthians 5:17). As I stare off into the mountains only one thing comes to mind," Lord, what direction are...
