LOUD

As I listened last night to the speaker share about "not being shut up" and living life loud, I questioned my life.  Where in my life have I stopped asking God?  Have I shut up as I listen to the crowd?  

The crowd of music, news, tv, computer, people, fear, doubt, "reality" and busyness? The looks, the raised eyebrows and the whispers? Where I have been rebuked and stopped loving and reaching out or being who God has made me to be?  

What is stopping me from reaching out to Jesus as He walks by in my life and ask for His help and love for me and for others?

As a precocious woman, I don't know if those around me know how fearful I truly can be.  Wondering if I'm missing something?  What do people think?  Am I being understood?  Sometimes when I say something, it is like I am speaking a language of my own.  Have you felt that way? Doubts and insecurities keeping our eyes inward and not on the one who has all of the answers to all of our questions.

I invite you to sit by the road with me!  Just sit with me and let's ask Jesus for what is on our Heart.  He always hears our Heart's Cry!!!  

Don't let the crowd rebuke or shut up our HEART'S CRY.  God take our Hearts and hear our cries.  Help our hearts to cry to you!









 29As Jesus and his disciples were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed him. 30Two blind men were sitting by the roadside, and when they heard that Jesus was going by, they shouted, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"  31The crowd rebuked them and told them to be quiet, but they shouted all the louder, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"
 32Jesus stopped and called them. "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.
 33"Lord," they answered, "we want our sight."
 34Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.

    Listen to Live out Loud by Steven curtis Chapman: "Think about this
    If we really have been given the gift
    of life that will never end
    And if we have been filled with living
    hope, we're gonna overflow
    And if God's love is burning in our
    hearts, we're gonna glow
    There's just no way to keep it in"
    I have to constantly remind myself that I do not need to fear any man. Turn to my savior who sacrificed everything so that I can live out LOUD! The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? SO let go make some noise?

Starting a Journey

September 3, 2010 Originally posted How to Begin a Journey 1. Pick a destination or simply start. 2. Plan a detailed itinerary or just take the first step. 3. Pack everything or travel lightly. I am choosing to just begin. To leave behind the baggage, pick up a day pack, and go. Several nights before we moved to Ogallala, I was praying about the transition when I heard that still, small voice of God. In that moment, I knew He heard my Heart's Cry. He hears every whispered plea, every unspoken longing. If I truly sit with that truth, it humbles me. What courage, boldness, passion, and decisiveness I have when I remember: He never leaves or forsakes me. He provides for my every need according to His riches in glory. My hope is to encourage you He hears your Heart's Cry too.

Picking up Rocks and Riding in Boats

I took a walk with a three year old young man today.   His mama was frazzled and he was bored.  "Grab your shoes," I told him.  He ran to his Mom to get his shoes on and ran to the door.  After fixing the shoestrings and the coat was on the way he wanted and I showed him the edge of the sidewalk and where we would walk...we were off. A dried piece of weed draped across an edge of the sidewalk, and I bent down to check it out.  He followed my lead and bent in half beside me.  I broke a piece off and gave him half and continued on our way.  Have you ever took a walk with a toddler?  And looked at things the way they do?  The broken sticks in the gutter, the ice and the small patch of snowing clinging to life are all gold to these little explorers.   A little encouragement is all they need to sift for treasure along the way. A smooth stone sat contentedly on the driveway of a house.  I stopped to admire...
