Follow Him

So today has been a relatively good day. Snow has melting some, not as much ice on the roads, and it is not below 20 degrees anymore…

We, my family, has a lot of time together tonight. An amazing meal by my mother, Anita. Fish, sweet potato casserole, and a yummy salad. One of my favorite meals in a while, beside last nights meal (chicken noodle casserole!!!! soooo good!).

Other things in my life, my path with God has been altered some… not in God’s, just in mine. I’ve not been at the place I need to be, and if you have read my blog, you know what I mean (such as this or this). God has really been working on me, letting me do the things I do, loving me still, and giving me mercy. I am so grateful for His love. I just hope I no longer take it for granted. 

I know his direction for me, and the basic look of His heart in mine. I know the connections he has made for me with others, and what pleases him is what I want. I want his desires, his heart, his hands, his feet, his everything. That is the most important thing to me. 

So now, I am going to get in the word’s of scripture, study them, keep praying, focusing, writing, loving in the best way I know, by giving of myself and being obedient to God’s commandments. That is the most important thing in this world: loving (God and others). 

So as I close this night down, and head to bed, I hope and pray your lives are being so intentional to serve God. ‘God is Love” and encompasses all that is love. He is the most important. 

Follow Him.

express, rather then impress

If one writes to impress, rather than to express, he will do neither; if one rights to express rather to impress, he will do both.

 

This is what I desire to do, is to write based on the the desire to express my life and experiences, with no desire to impress others, even though it sometimes happens to end up that way…

I think this is something valuable to learn when you write, to only express yourself, and let the impressing come thereafter. 

 

This is a great post, a journey of a friend through fear and faith. A new comer to the blog world, Zadock Azore (aka, Ethan).

from miles apart, white breath

For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

Romans 7: 18-20 

 

This cold and weary heart

Can be seen for miles apart

By the breath of the mouth

In the cold and wintery months

that is all there is to be seen

 

White breath, an exhale of the mouth,

is all to be seen this month

from miles apart, the heart,

seeping out white into the

blackness of night, it’s all there is to be seen.

it is as if my heart can not hold in the desires I wish for life. But I am trying.
