The Heart's Song Is Never Silent

For God created the world, and all things in the world; He separated light from darkness, man and woman created He them, and when He was finished creating He said it -everything He had done-was good. For God is good, and all that He does is good. God gave one command , not to restrict, but to protect His children: do not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But the woman was enticed by the evil one, and the man was weak, and followed her lead. Evil entered the perfect world, toil and sin entered the world, pain entered the world, and it all lead to death. It's not love unless the loved one has a choice to love you back, so God gave the children of man the option to choose Him. Yet they forgot their Creator, but He did not forget them. He sent prophets to warn them to turn back to that purpose which He had created them for, but they would not hear. He sent His own Son, God in flesh : fully God and fully man. Their is no sorrow that man has borne that He is not acquai...

With 2014 moving farther and farther back in my rear view mirror, and the start of a new year fastly approaching, I've felt a little bit in limbo: not wanting to look back, but also not wanting to look too far ahead. I've been thinking about redeeming the time I have; if I'm honest, much of my time which isn't spent at work, is spent in a type of distraction zone between social media and entertainment..."Are you not entertained?" (If you can tell me which movie that little snippet was taken from you win 10 bonus  points ;)) It's so easy to be distracted when one lives in a technological age of smart phones, tablets, and the ever increasing push for more and more entertainment in shorter spans of time. Theirs definitely nothing wrong with wanting to unwind after work, or school, or just taking it easy on the weekend, in fact rest is a blessing of God, but we can't allow it to cause us to become numb, and unaware of the time that's passing us by. W...

I've always loved Christmas best of all the holidays.With growing up on an island my memories of Christmas aren't snow covered, nor are they memories of racing downstairs to open up a ton of presents. No, my memory of Christmas is one of Palm trees, and sunny days filled with family and reggae tinged Christmas songs...ah the paradise of a wide eyed eight year old. No matter how thrilling those days were to me, Jesus was and still is the epicenter of it all for me. To think that He never stops giving, first His life for mine, but also sharing the season of his birth celebration with me-just a little girl on an island in the middle of the sea-I felt so special. Jesus does that to you, makes you feel like one in a million, the apple of His eye. Because to Him we are all special, hand crafted, one of a kind...I don't want to forget this. Sometimes it's easy to forget what we're really celebrating at Christmas...but it's not about the presents, not even about getti...

I gave it away, a gift sent back from whence it came, Knowing that no more able arms can be found on this earth, I sat in silence and listened intently as the rooster began to crow, Waiting expectantly for my Beloved to show His face, He never disappointed me, I smiled as the amber light filled my room, Washing away all traces of darkness and gloom, Oh come away with me my love to a distant shore, Where You are all I need forever more, forever more, I think I'm home,

It is my opinion that our life is not random, we are not aimlessly drifting in the world. No, if you are a Christian you are a new creation in Christ, and the Holy Spirit lives inside of you. That means you are endowed with greatness and can accomplish great things . I don't attribute any of the gifts I've been given to my own credit, for I know the bible says we've been given these gifts to do good, of which God has pre-determined us to do. So I stay close to God, and most importantly stay close His heart: Jesus; otherwise how can I know His purpose for me? This race Paul speaks about isn't a 100 meter dash, it's more of a 5K run. The good news is that we don't have to go it alone. We have more than a cheerleader on the sidelines, we have Jesus the Christ, and if you get tired, or if you should fall, He's right there in step with you, and He will carry you to the finish line.

In Genesis 13 it informs us of Abram's separation from Lot. It came to pass that Abram said if you go to the left I will go to the right, and if you go to the right I will go to the left. That's where the story gets interesting to me, because immediately after separating from Lot God speaks to Abram and says "Look all around you because I am going to give you this land, and your descendants will outnumber the very sand ." Two big things stand out to me ; firstly the fact that Abram had to first separate himself from Lot, and secondly the fact that God's vision for Abram was far greater than Abram 's vision for himself. While Abram would have been satisfied with whatever land Lot didn't want, God told him to look to the north, south, east, and west, as far as His eyes could see for he, and his descendants would inhabit the land. That story makes me consider my life, could someone or something be detracting God's purpose for me, and is my vision much too...

Some may call me a dreamer but it is You who have placed these hopes in my heart, I hold them deep within the recesses of my heart and it causes them to bloom, Oh Lord, my God, my one desire is to behold your face, Gaze on your majesty and bow in deference, For You alone are King, and no one can take your place, It's a sweet mystery this love You have for me, and it is as eternal as time,
