..continously learning to listen to God.


In these times that I feel change is coming I often bump into this card that a good friend of mine gave to me some years ago; it seams that I am keeping on waitting and waitting for what God has for me... it seams like an endless time, but one thing I can be shore of is that WHAt He has promised, He'll get it done!! So I hope this encourages you all, as it as to me, and in the mist of what ever different phase you are going through life... look to GOD, and He will show you His own perspective of situations. And do not forget GREAT things are ahead us, so keep going!!

[Ah!... talking about perspective... read this article is really interesting and good, it shows how we can be really not looking at life through the right point of view! ]

I had more stuff about friends to share, but I'll do it in another time...
This a time when God speaks through so many ways [ for me it has been like really coming alive again!!He is showing me what is like to be me, to know His Heart] books, people, objects... and there is yet so much to discover also; it's a time I've some difficulty to chose what I'll share; I try to follow a subject, but then everything gets so connected I can't split them into different parts or pieces; Basically is this I can not imagine my life, work, relationships... without GOD!

HeArT

Hapiness, blessings + a " heart check up ":

...for the ones who do not go on telling stuff about without knowing;
...for the ones who put all their enthusiasm, day/night in God's Word;
...for the ones who'll trust in Him, will search Him and search for safety in Him;

:.there's fresh fruits in hot summer time, water and strengh to grow, to be successful allways!!
:.start point = a healthy heart ! :]

God is willing to examine our heart, our deepest thoughts of each one of us... and also to act up on the results, up on the way we are.. He heals, He fixes it, acts on our behalf, but he also rewards each one according to its own atitude and actions ! ;]

" How well God must like you - you don't hang out
at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End Road, you don't go to Smart-Mouth College. Instead you thrill to God's Word, you chew on Scripture day and night. You're a tree replanted in Eden, bearing fresh fruit every month, Never dropping a leaf, always in blossom."
Psalms 1: 1-3

" But blessed is the man who trusts me, God, the woman who sticks with God. They're like trees replanted in Eden, putting down roots near the rivers - Never a worry through the hottest of summers, never dropping a leaf, Serene and calm through droughts, bearing fresh fruit every season. " The heart is hopelessly dark and deceitful, a puzzle that no one can figure out. But I, God, search the heart and examine the mind. I get to the heart of the human. I get to the root of things. I treat them as they really are, not as they pretend to be."
Jeremiah 17: 7-10

" Then I said, "God-of-the-Angel-Armies, you're a fair judge. You examine and cross-examine human actions and motives. I want to see these people shown up and put down! I'm an open book before you. "
Jeremiah 11: 20

" Take your place on the bench, reach for your gavel, throw out the false charges against me. I'm ready, confident in your verdict: "Innocent." Close the book on Evil, God, but publish your mandate for us. You get us ready for life: you probe for our soft spots, you knock off our rough edges. And I'm feeling so fit, so safe: made right, kept right. God in solemn honor does things right, but his nerves are sandpapered raw. Nobody gets by with anything. God is already in action - Sword honed on his whetstone, bow strung, arrow on the string, Lethal weapons in hand, each arrow a flaming missile."
Psalms 7: 8-13

deep breath, 1st I read ur profile, then ur post on 5th feb... What caught my eye was:«..and then an EXPECTATION...just like dating with someone...it keeps the passion of the first love...we go to be alone with our lover...it's this expectation that will open our hearts to listen to God and find Him...» 'Cause I've shared this w u, but the weeks before the prayer room started, God has been showing(through news letters f/friends, other stuff I listenned 2 in t web or read) that the bible,from beguinning 'till the end, is all'bout, Romance, This Sacred Romance ;].It starts with a relationship, and it ends also.As well He has showing me that I can be w Him, like my Most of All (that He is!), my Guy!So That is it!Life can never be separeted f/This Great LovE!1 hug, clara.»

Well, no one got it? {see last post}
A simple picture as this? Forget 'bout the fact it came from a pijama and that it really spoke to me some how...
Just read and think 'bout it; I think it's quite easy to get and may be even 2 discover new ideas from these simple verses [ I 'm trying hard 2 put u 2 think, 'cause sometime ago this words got truelly alive to me... I had never view some details on it before, 'till I read sentence by sentence, word by word]
And NO, I won't make a drawing, figure it out by your own brain!!!

"The Man named ... birds of the air, named the wild animals;but he didn't find a suitable companion.

21 God put the Man into a deep sleep. As he slept he removed one of his ribs and replaced it with flesh.

22 God then used the rib that he had taken from the Man to make Woman and presented her to the Man.

23 The Man said, "Finally!
Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh! Name her Woman for she was made from Man."

Genesis 2: 20 - 23

Some WORDS:
to fit, to complete, to be part of
it takes time, it takes patient, it takes being shaped
to let it be
listenning to God
to recognize, to say : "- Ah! Ah!..."
it takes "old fashioned" ways also... good, pure and determined man!

Ah! & do not forget our time is diferent from God's time ;]

my favorite pijama;]

Well I've been thinking of posting stuff 'bout a subject I really like, not just in "words" in daily life_action_ relationship(s); stuff I've read some where lately or written or talked 'bout w someone.Let's see how it will turn!?
People, frienDs, lives, GOD, after all is what life is all about!!!

...so I thought 2 start w this image that I scanned from my pijama sweat [ eh!:D , did u ever imagined a sweat talking to u?..], I like very it very much, I think it captures one the basics God has shown me some time ago about the 1st relationship on Hearth...and so on...so on;
so WorDs for What! Figure it @ ur own way..& by t WaY leave ur comments.
