Welcome to my blog: I intend to share heartfelt writing about anything that comes to mind. |
 Take UP Your Cross Prompt 1: Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Have I dumped all of my emotions and worries on God? Do I trust him to handle all of my problems? Answer: When I was young and my dad didn't want to hear what I had to say, “He told me to go tell God about it.” So that is exactly what I did. I often wondered what it would be like when he stood before God and had to deal with all those things then with God. Now I am saddened by that thought. Did I really want my dad to face God's wrath? No, I wanted him to love me for who I was and to care about how I felt. I wanted his love, attention, and affection. Obviously, I didn't always get that. I would get slapped around, held against the wall by a choke hold without my feet touching the floor, and held down and hit repeatedly. I would get verbally put down too. I share this story because I hope it will help someone else. If you are a dad who does this to your kids, please stop. If you are the one being abused, I hope you are able to get out of that situation somehow. If not, please don't lose hope. There is a God who sees and cares about you. He is able to deliver you at the right time and is able to turn your sorrows into joy. It may not be in your timing or how you think it should happen, but there is a time and good purpose for everything. Yes, I talk to God about everything. I have spent many nights crying out to him. I love the song, “For Those Tears I Died”. I could say it is a personal testimony for me. I can sing every word and mean it. https://youtu.be/AIrizhT_ckU Prompt 2: I read some statistics last night that both startled me and broke my heart. The statistics said that over 58% of Christians do not believe in Holy Spirit. Of those who do believe 34% believe He is subordinate to Jesus and God, maybe the boss of angels or something. An addition percentage believe His is simply the power of God. What is Holy Spirit to you? Answer: I believe the Holy Spirit is just as much God as Jesus the Son and God the Father. I believe he is our helper. He is the God in us and for us and with us. Humans have body, soul, and spirit. We are made in the image of God. Our spirit is just as much a part of us as our body and our soul. They are just 3 very different parts with 3 very different roles. My thoughts are, God the soul, Jesus with his bride the body, and the Holy Spirit as the spirit. At least that is what makes sense to me, and the best way I personally can understand it.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Write about this in your Blog entry today. Resilient and hopeful are good. As long as our hope is in God and not in our fantasies or temporary things, we have true hope. Our hope is secure in Jesus Christ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  and  What's the most prominent sensation your body is feeling right now? Where is it and how does it feel? I think my most prominent feeling is emotional at the moment. I just had to pick my elderly neighbor up from a fall this morning. It is probably her 5th or 6th fall in the last 3 weeks. I am concerned about her. The fall before this one, she broke her nose and everything in her face shifted to the right. She has to see an oral surgeon. Her face is all swollen and bruised. Her legs seem to be getting weaker. I don't want to betray her trust, but we may have to call her daughter to let her know everything that's going on.
