needy in the stillness

I need a day away from home to sit quietly with God, paper and pencil with a view of glory.

I need a family who forgives, forgets, and forbears.

I need a home that is simple and organized, calm and peaceful.

I need a life that is tranquil and easy going.

I need friends who are less needy.

I need sleep that restores and invigorates.

I need chores that are finished quickly.

I need errands that are in one place.

I need a God who knows I’m just a whiny wimp.

Oh, yeah, He does.

faith grows in stillness

 

In the stillness

Of the morning

I wait for God’s voice

In the quiet of my heart

I hear him

In the solitude of spirit

I feel him

In the serenity of soul

I know him

In the silence of grace

I am one with him

a room of one's own

 

 

A place to be alone, quiet, and free.

A place to rest, retreat, and reflect.

A place to create, write, and make like sweet.

A place to paint, pray, study, and BE with GOD. A War room of sorts.

find some stillness

we learn much in stillness

the way to peace

God in your heart

the strength of forgiveness

God in your spirit

the grace of mercy

God in your marrow

the truth to a contented life

God in your soul

 

 

Cling to God's word and get through anything!

to feel God's presence

create stillness and wait patiently

listen intently

expect Him

stillness

 

 

confidence is found in stillness

1 John 5:14-15  this is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us and whatever we ask, we know we have what we asked of him.

Choose a view

 

and be still in God's presence

Stillness can make you better in area of life.

“Wisdom comes with the ability to be still.”  Eckhart Tolle

 

Stillness - 2020 Focus word

I have not control.

God does.

I can’t fix things alone.

I can’t change people’s thoughts.

I can listen to God.

I can wait for God.

I can trust God.

I can believe God.

I can be still.

 

 

 

I am saddened byt our world.

The world is so cruel. Why don’t we let GOD rule?  He can do it all but we must be willing to work for Him.  Crime. Drugs. Hate. Anger. Sex. Alcohol. LGBTQ. SIN! All sin! When will we just speak up and be the Christians we claim we are.
Churches are becoming entertainment centers.
Families are becoming time management conglomerations.
Jobs are not careers and callings.
Schools are run by administrators afraid to stand up for education.
Neighborhoods are bed and breakfasts.

Old adages and models are considered obsolete in today’s world. Old fashion even. Christianity, salvation, heaven, and hell are not obsolete or old fashion. They are real. They are important. No matter what they are real. Live right or not we will all die eventually and heaven is where we want to be. Not hell. Those are the only two choices. People better get real. There is an afterlife and hell is not where anyone wants to be. It’s hot. It’s fiery. It’s uncomfortable.  It’s painful.  The Bible is not a folk tale. It’s filled with truth.  It’s filled with love. It’s filled with guidance. It’s filled with answers this world needs. NOW! It’s so simple. It’s basic. How do we get the world on board? It takes compassion. It takes hope. It takes effort. It takes commitment. It takes a change of heart and a deep faith.

How do we fix this world?

Each and every person.

Get on your knees.
Ask for God’s forgiveness.
Commit yourself to Him and His will.
Go out and share His word and truth.
Ask Him to give you opportunities to show His importance to a broken world.
