" Those who catch the vision are ready to follow the Lamb wherever HE leads, and as they follow, in this spirit of joyful adventure, their path becomes clear before them and they are given power to fulfill their high calling! They are those who have the courage to break through conventionalities, who care not at all what the world thinks of them, because they are entirely taken up with the tremendous reality of Christ!!!"
~Bishop Bardley
I absolutely LOVE this quote!!! How incredible and passionate and beautiful!! What better life to live? We are called to such a glorious, such a high calling as this! How easy to be distracted by things of this world, things seen. Yet when we SEE Christ, how DULL this world and all its entertainments and diversions become. Dull!!! As one's eyes focus upon Christ, all else fades away. And REALITY He is! Not distant, but ours!!! And He is just waiting to make Himself known to us and manifest Himself through us...you & I! However, we must be courageous friend, bold enough to be different, to be set apart from this world. Ready and willing to not care what the world thinks of us!!! We long for approval and security, to fit in, yet was it not our Lord who told us that we WILL BE HATED by the world, for they hated Him!!! So I ask, do we want to be like our Lord or like the world? We cannot have both!!!

Thoughts As I Sit At His Feet......
Welcome my dearest friends and family!
Well, here goes! *smiles* I was challenged by a friend to take the time I have, as I recently have not been able to work due to health complications, and begin a blog, writing daily as God teaches me. This for my own growth and to challenge and encourage the body. For why should a trial of health keep me from proclaiming my Jesus? Yet that is just what is so easy...to focus on pity and self. No more, sweet Lord!!!!
Herein, you will find simply musings as I sit at the feet of my Beloved Savior. Honestly, I am astounded as to why one would find interest in the thoughts of one such as I, but it is in mortal flesh - filthy, putrid, disgusting, unworthy, helpless, unable mortal flesh the the life of Jesus Christ is manifested and made known...to the body and to the world! So it is for His glory that I write. And for my deepening...my mere longing to know Him, to understand a little more and a little more who He is and who I am in Him and the mystery of His glory and grace...this is why I will write. So, you may see thoughts wander as I try sorting out truths and Scriptures and things He teaches me. You may see my failures, my faults, my doubts, my hopes, my questions. This is scary, and hard, for me...being vulnerable. You see, i want you to approve, my wretched flesh does.....yet I cannot be seen and manifest Christ all at the same time. My heart and passion long for my thoughts and writings to lead me deeper and deeper into HIS heart, and you at my side!! So I will let Him peel away myself and I pray that together, we will begin to see Jesus, only Jesus. Be patient with me??? Thanks friend!
that we may know Him.....
