For Those Who Dream…of Love…one ALL their Own

“Those who dream are held prisoner by the very thing they create…”~ Cara-Marie

Do you ever
stop?
Do you ever stop
To think
To give me credit?
All those hopes I had gifted to you-
Dashed in return at my feet
Melted
Now a sticky substance forcing me to stand my ground.
I swoon in place
My emotions betray me yet again
…With every sliver of hope
I decipher in the looks you shoot me
Bullseye!
Who was it
Who told me
That these chains around my feet
Were made of love and not lead?
In any case
You hold the keys to me release
And I hear the clinking sound they make

And I see them dangling on your hip
Every time you walk away
And then return
Only to find me
In the same spot

Where you left me
I was born a dreamer
Predisposed to hope on the smallest inkling of faith
Taking potential and instantly transforming it into the reality I choose to live and dream in…
So then
Knowing you have the upper hand
Why cause me to hope on the fluff you feed me?
Why be my supplier?
Manufacturing the materials I need to build my castles in the sky
Castles I can’t live in

Castles you wouldn’t live in with me

Even if they could hold our weight

 

You could put me out of business
You could release me to love others the way

I’ve grown

and grown and

GROWN

to love you
You say you’re not selfish
You say the feeling’s mutual
But that’s hard to believe when I’m hooked to a 5ft line
All the while it seems
You run the opposite direction to infinity and beyond
Anytime I start reeling you in
Always within arms length for you
And almost always out of sight for me
In your absence
I tell myself my passion will melt away in its own time
That the padlock will open and give way to a new freedom in which you don’t exist
But then you return
You always return
I’m not sure when always will end
But I don’t live in fear of it
I wait
Patiently
For those dazzling rare moments
When

You’re right in front of me
You’re breath falls on my skin
And we’re so close I can almost feel your heart beating inside of me
I choose to believe that one day you’ll feel what I feel
And you won’t run away
And you’ll loose my chains only to take my hand and walk with me into the skyline

Where earth & sky kiss
And heaven meets earth
There to spend eternity
In a world created by love
The kind of love I’ve dreamed of

And like birds we could fly to the ends of the earth
Bringing with us gifts of love that spark hope in all other people
Telling stories that cause young dreamers to hope that one day they can be set free to live in the reality of love

That they are so often held captive in

Because they choose to dream.

Who Looks For God Anymore??

It’s an epidemic-

That’s affecting the Body.of.Christ

We spend time pouring over the Bible not to see the God of the Bible

But to find out

What He can do for us…

As if He hasn’t done enough

By sending Jesus to die for our sins

Or giving us every day we’ve ever lived

…I asked God that question the other day

I’m not interested in vain things that will only wither away

God is eternal

He wants me to Know Him

And I want to know Him….

So I went on a scavenger hunt through the Book of Isaiah

I knew I could find a pretty good snapshot of the God I was looking for

The Only True God

and Here’s some of what He revealed to me

would you know…through His Word!

God revealed Himself as

The Holy One of Israel

The Lord All-Powerful

The Mighty One of Israel

The Almighty

The God of Jacob/Israel

Beautiful

Maker

Great

Fair

Just

Fire

The Holy God

The Living God

The True God

The Only God

Very High

Lofty

King

The Lord Your God

A place of safety

The Light of Israel

The One who Saves/Savior

Rock

Wise

Wonderful

Counselor/Teacher

Powerful God

Father who lives forever

Prince of Peace

Right/Righteous

Strong

Just

Good

Loyal

Faithful

Wise

Salvation

The Potter

Knowledge

Love

Calm

The God who comforts

Merciful

Patient

Important

Truth

The Judge

Glorious

Splendid

All these characteristics – the majority being repeated more than once. God was saying more than what would happen to Israel and to the rest of the children of God in the book of Isaiah. He was revealing Himself. And the same is true for the rest of the Bible. There are more than promises in there…promises are good yes but don’t you think you should get to know the One who made all these promises.

The phrase The Lord All-Powerful was repeated in the Book of Isaiah over 60 times clearly God is trying to let us know He has all the power and if we could understand that it would be easy for us to realize that absolutely Nothing is too hard for God.

If anyone dares asks the question “Who Looks for God Anymore?”

I will boldly raise my hand. Yes, He’s unfathomable but He’s still revealed some of Himself in His word and I’d like to get to know Him as much as possible

Everything else is just increased blessings

His presence in my life…is the ultimate blessing

Wishing those passers-by of this blog and post

Much

Much

Love&Light

Clouds

…ju like??

There’s entirely way too much more where that came from

Clouds are so cool!

They’re as majestic and beautiful as the GOD who made them

…I’m hopelessly in love

If you didn’t notice 🙂

Ooh So You Love Yourself? Prove it!!

How do you show yourself that you have worth??

God has called you precious!

But do you believe it?

….You are worth the price paid by the SON – the shed blood of GOD. Jesus. God. The Son. He left eternity and stepped into confines of a human body

TO DIE

For You! …and Me…and everyone else who will accept Him and the sacrifice He made.

It’s true 🙂

He loves you

loves you

LOVES YOU

So how should you respond?

Love Him back of course! That and love others the way you love yourself…

So that brings us to the next question-

How do you love yourself?

We all need to think about that question…

I did recently and this is what I came up with-

I show myself that I love myself and have worth by (doing or partaking in any of these one things by myself)

                          I cook myself gourmet meals (foodie)

                          I take myself on picnics

                          Conversation by candlelight with God

                          Drinking Sparkling Red Grape Juice from a fancy glass 🙂 [Oh YEAH!!]

                          Painting my nails

                          Occassionally…running lol

                          Taking care of my hair

                          Treating myself every now and then…to ice cream, earrings, shoes or whatever my current binge is

                          Writing!!

                          Reading!

                          Bubbles

                          Taking pictures – especially of clouds

                          Music – especially classical music for my moods

                          Movies…netflix!

Picnics

God needs time with each of us to show us how much He loves us….

So even though I am physically usually by myself when partaking in these different activities…I’m really not. I’m with God. In His presence…and having the time of my life. Basically I’m telling you if you haven’t made time in your life

Just for you and God

You’re missing out.

Literally He’s trying to communicate some things to you

And telling you of your worth to Him

Is Just the beginning

So you love yourself??? Prove It!! :winks:

When You Can Talk About It…It’s Over

When you can talk about it…

It’s over

When you can talk about it

…without bleeding emotion

(whether anger, sadness, love, hurt, bitterness, happiness, hope)

It’s settled

And you have moved on…

…I went picture hunting today for this new super. duper. fly scrapbook I’m working on

And I came across a ton of old photos

including some from my last romantic relationship 🙂

I was a bit confused

So I talked to the God of Order

I said “God, it will never be like this again… I accept that…It won’t be the same. It will be better – whenever You’re ready for me to be with someone.”

And I felt God beaming –

Mostly because I had that epitome in His presence and I shared it with Him.

I’m glad He beamed because I beamed right back.

It’s good to know the SON

The relationship’s been dead for a couple years now…

But I learned a lot of great things

As a result

There’s no reason to be sad

“Don’t cry because it’s over smile because it happened”

as India so rightfully said “There’s a blessing in every lesson”

D.B. and I are still great friends

I think that’s the most anyone can ask for one a romantic relationship ends

He still makes me smile-

But as I’m a happy person that’s not very hard to do

We had good times!

But let me tell you…this guy…shoot…God has BIG things in store

It’s good to know him

Cheers to the man-friend who set the stage for even better

Much love to you…

Is it so terrible…

That I don’t feel like writing anymore???

…Part of me feels like its not so big a deal

But the other me feels like writing has become a necessity.

I do want to write

But I don’t feel like writing and sharing

Okay…that sounds even more terrible

I want to share my writing but not through a blog…

LOL

I’m such a cracked nut
