IT! WAS! LOVE! aka FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING aka ANCIENT OF DAYS aka GOD OUR FATHER



Love exceeds all matter
Space and time
More than ethereal
It IS too perfect for this world
And this is Eternal


No Words,
With all my tears and worship here. . .







Transcend Reality: Selah aka In The Midst



She was dead
Period.
At least that's what they said
And what a grim reality
But, somewhere in the midst of it all
There was this
This vast
This great
This ellipses
This continuation of time and space
This space which encompasses
Yet surpasses finality
And this was faith
And it was faith in the Son of God
Who loved her so
It was her trust beyond what she could see
It was her only hope travailing
Travelling beyond all she could imagine
It was the far reaching expectancy that goes beyond what anyone could ask or think
and it was stretching far beyond her finite ability. . .

It transcended her reality,
Selah

IT'S ALREADY ON THE MENU: NOT JUST ANY HAPPY MEAL aka PART TWO: AND IT'S ALREADY IN THE BAG: WITH FRIES SPILLING OVER

Part 1: Michael aka Mikey aka Mike Cannon Boom 
aka Bookie Bear aka TT's Baby aka TT's Baby 1pointO 
aka TT's Baby No Matter the Fortnite


My then eight year old nephew Mikey loved 'him some' happy meals. Nine times out of ten, rather ten times out of ten, if you asked him what he wanted to eat, he would say, "chicken nuggets and french fries with a sprite & sweet and sour sauce please" (aka a McDonald's Happy Meal for a boy). It always made him very happy when he'd get one, yet, comically so, would send me and his mom to the poor house. But, it was his favorite meal. Today, it's, "hey TT, pick me up some wings from Mr. Z's." But, I, even being just his aunt, his best TT, would never have to ask what he wanted when we'd pull thru the line. I ALREADY KNEW! Even if he forgot to add that he'd like sweet & sour sauce, I already knew to add it and no ketchup thank you. If they ran out of sweet and sour sauce then I already knew that he would be ok with barbeque sauce, but only as a back up plan.

Oh little children of God our FATHER, God already knows. He ALREADY KNOWS everything about you. Just as He knows the number of hairs on your head, He surely knows what you need and all the desires of your heart. However many times you can count asking the Lord for something in particular is just as many times He has heard you. Now we know that HE knows the number of hairs on your head. So we know He's a good counter and can surely tally the number of times you've asked down to a tenth of a tenth of a tenth. He even knows the number of times you've asked better than you do, so most certainly He is able and can ANSWER you down to a tenth of a tenth and beyond.

I know you have asked so much that it just feels like it isn't coming or that God has forgotten about you, but I am so happy to say this, delay does not mean denial. No, perhaps Mikey didn't get to have a happy meal all the time or whenever he wanted. But, he would always get to have a blessed meal everyday. Yet, when his desire came, when we'd finally pull up and to those golden arches. . . oh my, was he one happy camper and he even got to have a toy with his order!

God is just this amazing and much more! Trust that God knows what's best for you. Patiently wait on Him to give you not only what you need, but even the "toy." Trust Him to give you the bonus prize with your order. Trust Him to give you what you didn't even know to ask and could never imagine. Trust HIM to GIVE you the desires of your heart because here is the thing I'm learning. . . He can SUPERSIZE that order!!! He can do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think. . . (Ephesians 3:20).

Looking back to when he wasn't this teenager locked up in the "prison of Fortnite" all day as if he's working a nine to five with overtime AND a second job, when I was ready to love on Mikey, he wouldn't just get a happy meal. He'd get the apple pie, movie time, Dave and Buster's capped off with Chuck E. Cheese's, the toy aisle any and everywhere, etc., etc., etc. and we'd celebrate like crazy because TT has worked hard to bless him like that and she loves him soooooooooooo much! Now if I could do all that, oh my, can't God do even more? But, if Mikey didn't wait for me to save up for our play dates then he may very well have gotten bologna and crackers with two sticks and a rock to play with in the backyard. But, while waiting patiently, like a good boy, doing his homework, cleaning his room, staying hopeful, trying his best and most of all keeping the faith (reference Hebrews 11:1). . . he set himself up to receive the BEST PRIZE. Again, I am just an auntie, BUTTTTT GOD. . . GOD IS GOD!!!  Receive Him!

"Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him (1 John 5:14-15)."

Prayer:

Father, help us to trust that everything we need is in Your Word. It's on Your Menu, it's in Your Will to us. . . our prosperity in all things, our health and most of all Your everlasting love. In Your Name JESUS we pray, Amen. 


Place your order in God's hands and let Him SUPERSIZE it!!!

"I waited patiently on the LORD and He turned to me and He heard my cry for help. (Psalm 40:1)."

In His Hand,

You Are More Than A Winner: You Are A Trophy


Feel the fear
Shake, fly
Flap your wings. . .
Do the opposite, oppose it
Steady, soar
Be still. . .
Become courageous
Stick the landing
Now look at that. . .

You are more than a winner.
You! Are! A! Trophy!

Cedar Plank Salmon: Well Done aka More Than An Olympian


There's something that amazes me about cedar plank salmon. But, it's not the fat & succulent piece of flesh sizzling on the grill, it's the cedar plank itself. Interestingly enough, we gather this seasoning and that spice, chop this and/ or that. Then we let it sit, for the more patient, "all night long," allowing the fish to soak in all the flavor. As soon as the sun comes up, we fire up that grill and WOW! The fish is done, we eat it, it's delicious and only the bones are left (stay tuned, that's another lap in the pool all together aka Ezekiel 37: 1-14). But, the fish has served its purpose, the flame grilled it to perfection & it became very WELL DONE. Our taste buds can testify. But, take a closer look at the table. Not only are the bones left, but the PLANK (the MAIN ingredient/flavor & sermon in itself) UPON which the fish was COOKED withstood the flame. Why? Because it was first SUBMERGED IN THE WATER! If you should find yourself steeped in the fiery flames of life, just make like a fish on a cedar plank. Stay afloat!!!!!!! Never give up aka WELL DONE! JESUS IS OUR LIFE RAFT! (Ref. ALL of ACTS 27 & RUN. . .). Singing. . . "I once was sinking far from the peaceful shore. Deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more. BUT, the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry and from the waters lifted me, now safe am I. It was LOVE that lifted me!!!"

Stay in the race, overcome the hurdles and keep passing the baton. We are following Victory and His name is JESUS!

This My Lil' Slingshot & That My Lil' Stone: The Heavenly Root Canal. . . Now Ain't That The Tooth!


Sometimes the truth is hard to receive when it comes against the lie/ lies that we have firmly believed. But, thank God for His Heavenly 'Root Canals' 😁. Look at how WebMD defines the process of a "root canal"  below. Now tell me won't God both FIX IT & STRAIGHTEN it out!!!!!!! NOW = WON = ONE = ☝FOCUS!!!

"A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed (Web MD)."

UmmK, so break it down O' Lord. "For the wages of sin is death. . ." (Romans 6:23). You have eaten too much sugar, too many sweets and your tooth has just about rotted out aka died.  You can't even chew any food or place water on it (hot/ cold) and that "tooth" definitely doesn't want to be touched.  It's painful and the Lord knows that you've eaten & been fed too much garbage (i.e. circumstances planted by others/ yourself: Pappa was a. . . , Mamma used to. . ., cousin did this to me. . ., your own addictions to sex, drugs or what has been your rock & roll, etc. & you get the point).  In other words you have believed the lie, having ultimately ingested that forbidden fruit, that which all we like Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden have partaken, falling way far short of not doing so (some passing the cavity zone all the way down to the pulp, lol but ikr).

The Bible makes it very clear, "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23)." Basically, all the "icky" stuff you've ingested (aka all your sordid 'way back then' or 'just yesterday,' even 'when you got off the phone a minute ago' stuff, but prayerfully 'hopefully not tomorrow,' icky stuff) has caused your tooth/ teeth to become badly decayed/ infected. But, thanks be to God that "the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23)." Thank You God that after discovering such painful rottenness, there is a BUT GOD PROCESS! Thank You Holy Ghost for the PROCESS!!!

Just like WebMD/ even more, BETTER than WebMD, we have a Good GOOD Doctor, our Heavenly Father, Who is more than able to REPAIR THE BREACH (aka "Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings" Isaiah 58:12)." He has a treatment for your "ruined teeth" aka ruined life which speaks of better things than that of Abel whom Cain in his jealousy murdered (Genesis 4:1-8)."

The Lord our God in HIS excellent Wisdom (Whose, let's say, wisdom 'tooth,' unlike man's, will never crumble, 😂 see John 19:36) has something to remove the pain and anguish which came about when Eve ate all of "that sugary treat" aka the lie of the enemy (aka snake @ 6 o'clock) and even shared it w/ her husband against God's will (Genesis 3). Like a loving mother who tells you to eat your vegetables and not all that candy, God is our Father and likewise, He admonishes us to not do certain things. So, listen to Him & heed what He has to say. Send me Lord, I'll go.

So now, our teeth, like Adam & Eve in their coats of skin & kicked out of the Garden of Paradise, are rotted 😞. BUT GOD, BUT GOD, BUT GOD(!!!!!!!!!!!!!), Who soooooo loves us has provided a remedy 😇.  "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16)."  It's like He gave us His one and only tooth 🙌!!!   I will say AMEN to myself b/c I know the Lord is more than TOO GOOD!!! YEAH GOD!!! YEEEEEEEEAH GOD!!! (Take your praise break now b/c it gets so much better =)!!!!!!!

This 'Remedy,' like the root canal described by WebMD will remove the affected nerve and infected pulp.  I'm no dentist, but I can almost hear the Lord saying. . . GIVE IT TO HIM. . . UmmHmm, cast that 'affected nerve & infected pulp' aka all your cares and anxieties upon Him b/c He cares for you. You can't brush it away & you can't rub it away. You have to let Him get all down & up in it. He can get down to the ROOT of the matter. That which is bothering you and causing all that pain and anguish, is rotting those pristine 'pearls' the Lord has given you and it has to be removed. Now, once all the decay and rottenness have been removed, God is going to CLEAN & SEAL it!!!

Yeah God. . . signed, sealed and delivered by the Good Doctor Who is more than able to write your Heavenly prescription (Jesus is a 'Rxemedy!!!') Come on in the room God!!!

If you are out there and you need a "root canal" and you hear what the Lord is saying right now, then harden not your heart and turn and be healed in the name of JESUS CHRIST!!! He can set you free from all the pain and anguish. He even makes house calls & His line is never busy! Just call Him! Call Him! Call Him!!! Even if you find yourself all the way lost & all the way in the back alley, 'rotted and decaying,' just look to the Head of the corner! This GOOD DOCTOR, Who name is JESUS, is in the building and He is more than able to FIX IT!!! He can fix it!!! RIGHT NOW!!! FIX IT JESUS!!! Place your all on the altar of His sacrifice! Kneel down and accept JESUS into your heart even NOW & wherever you are, whoever you may be! Get down the nearest & dearest aisle near you, get to that altar!

Here is the jist of the thing: WebMD also notes that the process SAVES the tooth! It's like you have a whole NEW tooth!!!  UmmHmm. . . "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! (2 Cornthians 5:17)."  Wow!!! Now that's the tooth AND the TRUTH!!! UmmHmm . . . "See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant (Jeremiah 1:10)." Build & plant us O' Lord!!!!!!!

I see why these pastors be sweating and japping out and falling out and breathing all hard when they preach!!! It's just so good God! You are so GOOD GOD! I'm about to pass out just typing It!!! Hallelujaaaaaaaaaah!!!! And Glory to God!!!!!!! Hallelujah and all the praise and glory to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost!!!!!!! Halleluuuuujah!!! Praise God!!! Hallelujaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!! And Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaank You Jesus!!! najjbail sbcjhsjchus ndjdbjkvjidhidhvfidhvihvii didjd eshaaaaaaaaaaaaaa dada da dai!!!!!!!!! O' this Joy!!!!!!! 😅😅😅

"The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. (Psalm 119:130)."  Lord, help us to receive Your words, help us O' Lord and heal us of the breach.  Thank You Lord that You are the Remedy!!! Thank You for the BLOOD! In Your Name Jesus, Amen.
