Waiting with Expectation

I wait for the Lord, I expectantly wait, and in His word do I hope.~ Psalm 130:5

So much of my life can be summed up in the scripture verse above. Learning to wait on the L-rd in stillness..putting my hope and expectation in Him. Waiting, but not just simply waiting but waiting with expectation!

Putting my hope in Him and not the things of this world that I can see, touch, taste and feel but the things which are beyond comprehension.. things not of this world.
 
Waiting with expectation implies action....
While I wait I continue to live for Him, in His word...finding my hope living there.
  So much of it lives in my heart.. something that is intangible..no words can explain.

Then the day dawns and with it brings the culmination of my waiting and hoping... a work complete for today...and tomorrow begins anew...

Derailed..



 Since my sweety baby Kian Adley was born I have felt like life has been whizzing by in a great big blur. I would just start to feel like I was gaining ground and then something else would happen.. I begin to see that the enemy was trying to derail me... 
And perhaps for a time he did...

But during these weeks and the trials that have accompanied them still He has been with me speaking into the quiet and into my heart.

He has been laying on my heart the need not to only prepare physically but also spiritually. So often we find that we feel we have to take action and stock up, fill our pantries and cupboards.  Buy in bulk and be prepared for the coming hard times. And these are all good things but if we have neglected our spiritual preparation than we have forgotten the most important part!
 
Our hearts need to be prepared for the coming days. We need to work our spiritual muscles training them for the days ahead.
Looking to the L-rd, seeking Him and learning from Him. We need to find that zealousness we have lost; that fire and let it burn away the fodder in our hearts and lives!
 
We need to be listening to His voice. Listening over the things in life that distract us from the BIG picture..so often we get caught up in such silliness and somehow we let ourselves believe it really matters..

And what is His still small voice speaking to us? For me, it's these words whispered over and over in my ear.....TRUST and OBEY...
Two words that hold so much...When I am worried and afraid...when life seems overwhelming I cling to His command just to trust and obey and I find comfort and that peace which surpasses understanding.

So yes, I was derailed but as I looked up I saw Yeshua's hand held out to me; beckoning me...And when He held my grasp firmly in His the skies cleared, the storms calmed and my little train was firmly back where it belonged...

I Lay My Whys

I Lay My Whys

I lay my "whys" 
before your Cross
in worship kneeling,
mind too numb
for thought,
heart beyond
all feeling.

And worshiping, 
realize that I,
knowing you,
don't need a "why."

A time set apart...


Blessed are You, L-rd our G-d,King of the universe, who has made us holy by giving us his commandments, and has commanded us to kindle the Shabbat lights.







Tonight at sunset begins Shabbat or Sabbath. It is a set apart time where we rest from our burdens and come unto Elohim, meditating upon Him and His righteousness.  May we bring honor and glory to His name with our very breath! Shabbat Shalom to those near and to those far away!

More like a woman..

I used to get my nails done often and then redone when they needed it. I loved it! I felt feminine and pretty. My nails on their own are, well, just not pretty!
It was part of the new me that came about because I lost alot of weight. Well, I am losing again to get the pregnancy weight off and I am really thinking of going in and getting them done. I just need to for me..to feel pretty and feminine.
Do you have anything like that you do for yourself? Something that makes you feel more like a woman and pretty..??
