so amazingly blessed in this day! I have rejoiced in it ... battered and bruised we came upon a open clearing with ancient ruins rising out of it. Vines of destruction over powered every structure, yet the essence of what once was still stood. In the center a alter. It was magnificent in size and solid stone. Then I was reminded of Abraham and Isaac. I knelt down and cried... remembering the Hope, Faith, Sacrifice.
I was in an FANTASTIC BATTLE! It was amazing... my Adventure Guide and I went to battle. I learned & delivered some amazing moves that are sure to bring the enemy down to their knees. I had SHOUTS that brought the walls down. Kicks from all angles that left them on their face in the jungle mud. And my elbows... man .. watch out for those weapons. They're soon to be licensed. Now resting & laughing. Victory!! :o)
almost swallowed by quicksand! Then the vine of saving grace was thrown down. Phew! Glad He was there to rescue me. Now I'm laying on my face catching my breath and remembering "Do not go ahead or away from me. You don't know the way." I think I'll just rest here for a while. The journey has been a little rough lately but if I just be patient and walk in faith... well it will all sort itself out. ;o)
(SPLASH) Landed in the sweet warm lagoon of joy at the end of a tumultuous painful waterfall. The bubbling joy rising from the deep tickling my heart. It raises my eyes to the heavens where I'm reminded of where my help comes from. The Lover of my Soul dives in with redeeming jubilance causing my joy to overflow so that all may see. All in all >>"I'm Steppin' Up!" (props to Liz Dugger and Aaron Doer + United Choir!)
riding the current of the waterfall that has taken her breath away in the midst of the Jungle of life. The adventure takes rough twists and turns yet The Adventure guide knows the journey's end, so she keeps her eyes locked on Him. The Long drop is worth the breathtaking beauty of seriously "Letting Go" so the Guide can show her the warm Lagoon at the bottom. Hard? Yes.. Scary?... Yes... willing to walk in faith? YES!
at peace. Today we have torn down idols... cut down binding jungle vines and found the oasis in the midst of the jungle. Now we rest for the next adventure. Stories by the firelight and enjoying the moment with the best "Adventure Guide" around. ♥
blessed by the journey that her Adventure Guide has led her on. To go back in time, embracing the future, but most of all enjoying the moment. So much happens in the present... delight in such a gift!
excited for the new journey ahead. How exciting to be able to have a NEW day every time we wake up. I mean seriously... if we leave yesterday where it belongs and the future for Him to handle ahead of us then the day we are in is Brand New... it has it's own adventures and baggage. "Hand me a machete and canteen. Okay... Let's Do This!" I've got the best "Adventure Guide" around ... That's just how He rolls!
As I sit here listening to the rain fall, my pulse races and muscles tense in the memories of yesterday. The moments of laughter, touch, longing passion untouched by any other. The smell of his skin. The sound of his heart beating. The touch... the touch that makes my soul melt into oblivion. Still ... even now as the thunder trembles my being... I ache and wait.
it is in the midst of great tribulation that the light of the dawn raises our spirits as if the light had never been seen before. For it is His light that raises the Son. May you be encouraged in the "midnight blackness" as His light pierces through.
More than happy to share just ask, please. :)
