Teach me the secret of living in Christ-for in Him are hidden ALL the eternal, infinite, invaluable, treasures of God-ALL the treasures of wisdom and understanding. I am in Christ and Christ is in me, I have this treasure in me, an earthen vessel, a jar of clay-mud, dirt, water, plain, dull, ordinary on the outside appearance, but perfect/complete in Christ, through Christ, because of Christ. Since I am in Christ and Christ in me, I should be seeking, pursuing, focusing on things eternal, having an eternal focus, an eternal vision-Colossians 3…bearing eternal fruit, the fruit of the Spirit, glorifying God, my forever Father, living for eternity, living the gift of God, the eternal/abundant life through Jesus Christ my Lord, Savior, Brother, forever Friend, Who paid the price with His own blood/life for me, for my adoption into this, His, God’s, Abba Father’s forever eternal family.Jesus, Who came for me, Who gave me the right to be a child/son of God. Jesus Who lived, loved/loves, died, resurrected, ascended, lives forever seated at the right hand of God. This Christ is in me and I in Him. I have been given a living, forever, eternal hope that will never fade away but will only grow greater/brighter.
Reason to be thankful/give thanks? Reason to praise God? Infinitely beyond what I can think or imagine.
I am not an orphan, I am a child of God, I have a forever Father and family. I would keep this focus, this mindset…I am complete in Christ Who loved/loves me and gave Himself for me…I have the mind of Christ, direct access to the Father, to the very throne of God forever, the Holy Spirit of God living/abiding in me, the Spirit of Truth, my body is His temple/dwelling place. The Holy Spirit my constant companion, comforter, counselor, helper, guide, leading me and teaching me, revealing to me the mind, will of God.
Reason be thankful/give thanks? Reason to praise God? Infinitely beyond what I can think or imagine.
The One Who loves me most is that close…closer than my next heartbeat or breath of my next prayer. We are one, we are family, His very blood flows in me, gives me life abundant/eternal. He abides in me and I in Him.
Reason to be thankful/give thanks? Reason to praise God? Infinitely beyond what I can think or imagine.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear, for I am not alone, for You are with me…comforting me, protecting me, providing for me, giving me strength in my weakness, grace all-sufficient, and peace surpassing understanding. All I need, now and forever, I find in You.
Reason to be thankful/give thanks? Reason to praise God? Infinetly beyod what I can think or imagine.
The C Word
Three years...hard to believe...when the C word was spoken in our family...this time it was my dad
i am not...
i am not without guidance,
i am not without comfort,
i am not without a guardian,
i am not without help,
i am not alone,
i am not an orphan,
i am a child of God,
i am an heir of God,
He is my Abba, Father,
He has given me His Spirit,
i am a temple of the Holy Spirit,
Jesus is my brother, my friend,
I'm so glad that i'm a part of the family of God!

Seven X Seven
Hard to believe it has been seven weeks. I told myself I was going to journal my way through the journey but so far my entries have been sporadic at best.Over rocky roads and through storm tossed seas, now still and quiet I search for words to express...to share...
Adopted
I am not an orphan for I have received the Spirit of adoption and God is my forever Father. Thank You Jesus for making this possible.
