"We come as we are."
We come as we are ... are such simple words, yet they form quite a profound concept for anyone struggling with feelings of insecurity and/ or judgmentalism.
It is in these words I am discovering a profound kernel of truth and encouragement for this journey.
If we can accept that all of us come as we are, we will not be so hard on ourselves. Perhaps we will not be so hard on others, as well.
Let us simply praise that we are willing to come as we are, in all our brokenness,
and to surrender ourselves to God to be molded and refined step by step to be more like him. What an exciting journey it can be if we can release our grasp on our feelings of insecurity and attitudes of judgmentalism and simply marvel at the wonderful work God is doing in each other's lives. Every life is a work in progress by our creator... how blessed we are when we get to watch or get even a small glimpse into how THE LORD crafts a unique one-of a-kind masterpiece.
Don't be afraid to come as you are...and don't be afraid to let God do his thing in your life!

Kudos!!
Kudos To Creators!
Tonight I surfed in to revisit some of my blogs. A teardrop falls on my cheek. I am in deep awe and appreciation to the creators and sustainers that have gifted the world with Blogspot. In a world where most things come with a sizeable price tag, Blogger/ Blogspot takes nothing and only gives! In the ten months since I jumped into the world of blogging and started over 40 blogs, Blogger has never charged me a dime! It is amazing! It is so amazing that there is something so powerful, so user friendly that is so free! I love Blogspot!
Writing, for me is like breathing. Word by word, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, volume by volume. Today my collection of private hand-written journals are too numerous to count. The journals fill a large antique chest and chronicle the journey of the last ten years. From the divine and truly extraordinary inspirations that for some mysterious reason found fertile ground in the brokeness of my soul to the mediocre human ramblings that paint vivid pictures of my journey through the Valley of Baca.
Yes, I am still somewhat uncomfortable sharing and baring the true depth of my soul beyond the safety of my private journals. But because of this experience with Blogspot, I have been able to begin to share just a little bit. I believe that inside of me there are so many books and so many stories to tell. Will I live long enough to share the beautiful and profound stories of the ONE who transformed my devastating pain to joy beyond my wildest imagination? The One who taught me that
true joy is not based on the waves of one's circumstances or the balance of one's bank account but rather is based on a vital moment by moment, hour by hour, day by day, situation by situation relationship with HIM, The CREATOR!
Kudos to THE LORD Almighty!!
And Kudos to the wonderful people at Blogspot who gave me a place to share a little bit of myself. A place that is kind of hidden away, but unlike my other writings that are stowed away and unavailable for viewing, these can actually be found if someone is mysteriously led to them.
With billions of bits of information in cyberspace, I trust that anyone happening upon these words are sent by a power greater than us. Perhaps HE led me to string together a sentence that might just make a difference to another person's life... perhaps that person is YOU! MAY GOD BLESS YOU IN RICH ABUNDANCE and may you find that your best life is discovered in a unique ministry with HIM... for it is in that ministry you will discover not only the purpose for why He created you but the greatest joy of your life!!
