be YOU

If you stay true
to being you
it has a way
of leaving an impression
you cannot be misconstrued
or forgotten
or mistaken
for someone else

recognized
by your heart
because you wore it on your sleeve
for all to see
how could they not know your heart
like they know your eyes
if you wear it that way?

An open book
no agenda
no scheme
you mean it
and they feel it
your grounded
before you go it

and all the advice
in all the world
isn't better than
your spirit
isn't better than His word
living as part of you
and when you know Him like that
your gut will tell you
even while your eyes are searching

Your gut will know
that you know
that you ARE
who you are
and no amount
of changes
will change who you are supposed to be
because to fight it
is to BE not
to not be
YOU
and you are purposed
destined
divinely appointed
significant
important
and so SO loved
just the way you ARE

and He intends you for
G R E A T N E S S
not just "so~so"
not just OK
or mediocre
YOU may choose that for yourself
but He has bigger plans
you just have to get with Him
you just have to believe and ask
ASK and you shall receive!

and like a Dad that had your first car
waiting all along
in the garage
He is so excited to freely give it
so elated to throw you the keys
so don't keep Him waiting....

His gifts for you exceed a shiny new car
they are far more lasting
far more amazing
the kind of gifts
that keep on giving

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...

SIGNS

It is so awesome lately how God has sent me signs, like love postcards to let me know he loves me! I mean LITERALLY...recently I had an appointment where two very exceptional women anointed with The Holy Spirit prayed for me...at one point one of them said, "I keep getting this message from God for you, but I am not a good singer, God is wanting me to sing the song "You are so beautiful to me"to you. She sang it out all self conscious and I just thought how sweet a message that was. About 2 days later I was in the car driving home and I usually keep it on 88.1, but for some reason I was scanning through a few other stations, and I came across 96.1 where Dililah was taking dedications....This guy was going on about his personal struggle with his wife that wanted to divorce him, and I got sucked in. By the time it came time for his song that he wanted to dedicate, I was pulled into the driveway ready to get out of the car, but still too curious to see what song he would pi...

Being too Comfortable?

(A letter I wrote to a friend, 03/05/2004) I know the whole reason we are on this earth is to stretch these images of who we are. Like a big plastic girdle that jabs into our ribs and digs into our gut...and what you are saying is that I have adapted to the contraption. I don't shift it and pull at it like most people do right? But what if I just think discomfort is overrated ? Either I am selling myself short by saying that, or I have shifted my focus to what I can live with right now. I know, I know, just another way of being complacent! Redundancy! Ya know that song by Jewel that goes " Your standard of living somehow got stuck on survive"? Well that's not me, but some days I realize that I am sitting very close to that out of necessity. It is partially because of this warped sense of reality brought on by losing my Mom. Death is so final. Having my Mom in my life was like having an elaborate colorful cozy rug, fluffy and soft beneath my feet. Her death was like...
