Vision - 2/26/14

This morning while I was getting ready for work, I saw a brief picture flash through my mind. It was just a picture of a black layer right above me with sparkles like stars in it.I immediately heard in my spirit, "write this down", so I started writing what I heard.
I heard that what I saw was Heaven. It was right above our heads.If you've ever seen the movie Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, it looked very similar to the spray on shoes that Flint invents.
But it was just this thick layer directly above us. So close that if you were to reach your arm above your head, your entire hand down to your wrist, would be in another realm.
Every time we press in. Every time we pray. Every time we worship. Every time we pray in the Spirit, we pull it closer. It has always been close, but I feel like right now, it's closer than it's ever been before.

This year we need to be reaching. Reaching for the"unthinkable" and going after it. It's a year of New Beginnings. Behold! All things have been made new! We need to get a new perspective, we need to learn to look at things in a new way. We need to see people and situations the way God sees them. And then do our best to handle them the way He would. With love, humility, mercy, and grace. We need to get rid of our worldly way of looking at things, and look at them with our spirit fully engaged.

Be alert and aware because God is moving. And it's big. He is big. Press into Him, get to know Him, find out what weapon He has prepared for you and learn to wield it well! We need to be prepared. And the way we do that is by knowing Him.

Keep pressing in! Let it be on Earth as it is in Heaven!

Come With Me - 2007

School project

Come on a walk with me there the green grass grows, and the brook sings to me a tune.
Come stroll with me through the hills and listen to the music they sing, and the joy they bring.
It's wonderful to be here but so much more with you here too.
Look to your left and listen. It's a robin singing it's song to the wind.
Look to your right and smile at the doe and her fawn passing by.
Look up ahead to the clear blue sky and wonder what's going on in Heaven.
Touch the grass on which you sit and feel that it is softer than anything you've felt before.
Listen to the wind singing you a lullaby and rocking you to sleep on it's gentle breeze.
It's beautiful out here in the meadow where the lilies, roses, daises and marigolds grow.
Smell the roses reaching high for the sky and be lifted high with it's sweet, wondrous scent.
Enjoy this moment while you can.
Because soon it will be time to go back to your life...

The Boy and His Dog - 2007

Said the dog to the boy, "I am here if you need me",
But the boy brushed him off and ran with great speed,
down the lane where the wild grass grows,
and there he met a lion, eyes all aglow.
He let out a scream and the dog perked up.
"The boy needs my help!", he thought.
So the road the old dog flew,
he now knew what he had to do.
He let out a growl and louder it grew.
The lion looked up and away he flew.
The boy ran to the dog
and wrapped his arms around his neck.
"I'll never not trust you!",
the little boy said.

Just a Vessel - February, 2008

Some say she's just looking for attention.
Some say it's all just an act.
But no one has taken the time to look deep.
No one has really cared to ask.
So she holds her emotion deep down inside,
until she's alone and able to cry.
Then she cries out the pain and the hurt that she feels.
And waits for God and His timing to heal.
They all think she's weak and is just giving up.
When really, she's just building her courage back up.
She's been hurt so bad and broken so long,
that it's going to take time 'til once again she is strong.
Just give her some time, just give her some space.
Show her love, kindness, and grace.
She doesn't need the stare of your judgmental eyes.
It makes her feel useless and cuts down her size.
Now you know she doesn't just want attention.
Now you know its not just an act.
So please be careful of how think of her and what you say.
Because with every negative word, my heart cracks.

Realize - May 2, 2008

When I fall, You're always there.
You sweep me up without a care.
You bring me back to where I belong.
Safe and sound here in Your arms.

And You see every tear I cry.
You life my gaze back to the sky.
I see Your smile in the sun.
I remember how You've overcome.

When I'm going through hell in this world,
You remind me that You are Lord.
You whisper that You are always here,
and with You here, I have nothing to fear.

When I have lost my faith, You take my hand,
and lead me Your way.
You tell me it will all be okay,
that You will love me day after day.

So, in conclusion, I realize this:
You're so big, God, hard to miss.
You will never leave me out to dry,
my heart is Yours, 'til the end of time.

Skyelynn - August 16, 2007

The mic in your hand,
it's time to stand.
To lift up his name,
in worship and praise.
The band behind you,
backing you up.
It's almost time to go on,
be of  luck!
Gather the group,
pray really hard.
That God will help you
touch people's hearts.
To show His Glory,
and His Grace.
That's why God
put you here in this place.
You sing your heart out,
for an audience of One.
Millions are saved,
but it's all just begun.
You've got a real gift,
so use it for Him.
There's so much more in store for you,
my dearest Skyelynn.

First Love - August 25, 2009

A first love is sweet.
It is unforgettable.
It will stay in your heart forever.
But good things don't always last.
It hurts to let go.
But you have to.
So don't be sad.
Lift up your head.
Look ahead - 
To what is coming-.
Something new.
A better you.
Don't be afraid to love again.
Take the risk -
When the time is right.
It is time - 
To cry your last tear
For your very first love.
