We can not be over priced!

The lady was ranting and raving about the one thousand dollar hand bag
going on and on about what an outrage that is
and how the quality doesn't justify the price
and really just how ridiculous it is....

and what I see is a spiritual porthole into what she is really ranting about
the lie that is being bought into
the injustice of worth placed in an inanimate object
one that doesn't carry it's weight in value
and one that will not last

and God booms from the heavens
YOU ARE THE VALUE
it is not in anything you can buy
or attain
it is in your spirit
and God's ability to live out of your spirit

put the price tag on what really holds value
your self worth is weighed down in riches galore
and it overflows with the value that God has placed in you
every possibility to express every good thing that God has for the world
and you have precious ears to hear all that
and precious eyes to see it
and a heart that is sensitive to FEEL it too
and hands and feet that can carry a message of love for Him

all these attributes that will keep you connected
so you will be reminded often
that you are worthy of the purpose he placed with you
the true prize that God has placed in this world IN you
the real living riches this life has to offer
let's live in that!

and maybe your pinky nail is worth a thousand million dollars
and that is just the tip of that ice burg!

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.
