the lie and The Truth

Alone
is where he tries to get me, to keep me
isolation, better yet, rejection
lie after lie
that leads to desolation
and if he can convince you to embrace them
convince you that there is nothing left to reach for
or strive for, nothing more to fly towards
if he can convince you that
you are all alone
in living, in waking, in dreaming, in dying
he's got you then
in a box under the bed
where only he takes you out to torment you
before he puts you back again

the more aware you can become
the more aware you will be of his goals, his game
and the more spiritually aware you are
the more in tune you will be when feeling "off"
If he can get you to DOUBT
and FEAR
and WORRY
and LOSE ALL HOPE
then he has won.

Don't ever let him win!
Don't ever abandon your faith
don't you ever ever lose hope...
recognize the smoke and mirrors for what they really are
and speak LIFE and TRUTH into your life, your very existence
and practice
until you know that you know that you KNOW
who you are in Christ Jesus
He in you
and you in HIM
LOVE conquers all
LOVE wins!

and he wonders

from the backseat I hear a little voice ask "Mommy what is your name?" It is so neat that he wonders this out of the blue... "Christie" I say "Oh, Christie, I like that name" "Thanks Bud, I like your name too!" "Daddy and I got to pick your name!" So for the first time this little man who is so grown up already says my name calls me something other than Mommy and the significance of that hangs in the air my baby becomes a boy in that moment. ~C

Gut Feeling

I noticed how often I go by the FEEL of something, or the Feel of a situation, or maybe I should say how I feel about it, I go by FEELING through it. Some would say they just had a "gut feeling" about something, that is what I am getting at. Some times I cannot even explain why a certain situation I am in, or even time with a certain person does not feel right, it just doesn't. It is like oil and water in a glass, and I can shake it up from time to time to make it feel right for a short time, but then it will go back to being divided, unable to resist it's true nature in my life. It wasn't meant to be for me, and I feel that, while it is being revealed to me. Most of the time I fight these gut feelings, but it is futile most of the time, because there is a sense of unrest in me when I resist. A subtle off-throwing of what I usually do. If I am honest with myself and I stand back, I can see that I am avoiding acknowledging it, The thing or situation or the relatio

The Giant

You are a giant and you've scooped me up little ol ' me up into your giant laced fingers you've caught me like I would catch a butterfly or a lightning bug but unlike me & the critters I catch you've no intention of letting me go again I am a prize you want to keep even if we will never connect in the conventional ways even if the life you make with me will never make sense or feel complete always a disconnect... fear keeps you holding on control, makes you hold on to me against my will and selfishness it robs you why all the while you call it gain little ol ' me I was never meant to fulfill big ol ' you was never meant to entertain you & keep you company at the expense of losing a life of my own where someone can hold me and with my own size eyes, look into my soul where I can lay my head on his chest and where a same sized heart is beating, softly evenly, for me YOUR heart is a massive drum! it keeps me awake it overwhelms the room like an earth quake.
