Skate Party!

The 2011 ecclesia skate party is now ended. It was, of course, AWESOME! So beautiful!

And what made it awesome, you ask? Was it the skating? The cupcake made by one of my Spiritual brothers (with Oreos!)? The strange little dog that did amazing tricks outside the Braum's afterward?

Yes, but mostly it was the people.

These people...this group of people...is one group I am proud to be a member of. A group of Kingdomheirs and mighty sons of Yahweh manifesting in the Earth. Each of us is a different manifestation of Yahweh. He SHINES through us! And to love each person (and myself, even) is to love Him...and love Him more.

You see, I am not separate from Yahweh. I can be and do all things Yahshua the Christ is and does (and was and did when He was on the Earth) because I am not separate from Yahweh even as He was not separate from Yahweh. I mean, yes, it is different in some ways, for we are not Yahweh, but we are also not-not Yahweh. We are, each of us, a Word spoken by Yahweh. And because He spoke us, we are Real. And because we are Real, we are some measure Yahweh. For all Real things are of Him. And perhaps you misunderstand because it is somewhat inexplicable in words. But perhaps you are filled with Holy Spirit and receive this as it is meant.

And if I am not separate from Yahweh and my Spiritual family, individually, is not separate from Yahweh, we are, then, not separate from each other. And this, readers, is joining. We are joined and jointed by the Spirit of Yahweh, operating on Kingdom principles and glorifying Yahweh. Through us He shines, and we are honored to be a part of such brightness, such light.

HalleluYah!

So I am grateful beyond words for Yahweh. And I am grateful beyond words for the ecclesia He has joined me to. And I am grateful beyond words for the manifestation of Yahweh through each one of the people in my ecclesia. Through my family. Through my Spiritual family. HalleluYah!

I love Yahweh. And I love Yahweh in each person in my ecclesia. And I love Yahweh in my ecclesia as a whole. And I love Yahweh in myself. And I love Yahweh in the skating, the cupcake with Oreos, the strange little dog who did amazing tricks outside the Braum's. I love Yahweh! HalleluYah!

The Morning Commute

As a student-teacher/intern in the local Masters of Arts in Teaching Program, I am required to student teach four days a week and attend classes at the university one day a week. I have three rotations in three different public secondary school Spanish classrooms. I am going to be the best Spanish teacher in order to do so with excellence and glorify Yahweh! Praise Him!

Well, anyway, my first two rotations were in the town in which I live, which was awesome because I had to be there at 8:00 a.m. My third rotation is in a town 30-40 minutes away (depending on traffic), however, and I have a very long drive every morning and evening.

I LOVE the morning commute! Yahweh is SO awesome to give it to me. I know, I know, how many people say that? But I really, REALLY do! It helps that I don't have to be at the school in the town far away until 8:30 a. m. given that school doesn't start for the students until 8:55. Really, I actually don't have to leave as early as I did going to school in my own town! But that's not the best part (though those extra 15 minutes of sleep ARE wonderful things for which to be grateful...and I AM grateful!). The best part is that I have 30-40 WHOLE MINUTES just alone with Yahweh! It is the perfect time to pray in tongues, listen to the local Christian radio station (when the songs are uplifting ones...not the "I'm a sinful, sinful worm and thus should be sad ones), and just be with Him! Even the times when the radio station plays the sad songs, I can turn it off and pray in tongues! And there is NO chance to be distracted (ie, "let me just check my email" or "let me watch this ONE TV show" or, "let me call my friend"). I know I should not ever be distracted when I should be spending time with Yahweh, and I'm not saying I never spend time with Him outside the commute time, but I really love this added time. PLUS, I show up to school happy, joyful, and full of Yahweh! It's hard to stop singing when I get there!

So, praise Yahweh for the morning commute! Amen! Glory! HalleluYah!

A bunch of awesome things

So, today's post has an actual topic-type topic. Ok, well, it did, but I now see why it can be hard to label a Kingdom speaking with a topic-type topic. So, I'll just go and flow and not try to confine.

Today's post is about joining. About ecclesia-joining. About Kingdom joining. And about a bunch of other things. But in the end, it is ALL about Yahweh!!!!!!!

The Kingdom of Yahweh is a wonderful place! It is the place where Yahweh reigns, rules, and makes the rules. It is the place governed by the laws of the Kingdom. It is a place of fruit, joy, and all things good. It is a place populated by mighty, powerful, awesome sons of Yahweh who are joined together to glorify Yahweh, agree with His word, and be a part of His Word's coming to manifestation in the natural realm.

These fellow Kingdomheir sons of Yahweh edify you and you edify them. This is how it works, for we are all really about Yahweh and edifying/glorifying Him anyway. So, in the Kingdom you get a word and your fellow Kingdomheir confirms the word from Yahweh.

And this is the word right here: confirm. In Spanish "con" means "with." It is the same root as the word concur (a synonym of "to agree"). Firm means strong. Solid. Unmoved.

Therefore, together as Kingdomheirs, we strengthen, solidify, and hold steadfast in the mighty, powerful, unchanging yet dynamic and ever-increasing Word of Yahweh!

YAY for joining, confirmation, and ecclesia! :D

What's more, "concur" might be from the word currere (Latin... something about course or run or something). But whether or not I remember my vocabulary terms correctly, the point is that fellow Kingdomheirs run and firm WITH you! Yay! Increase!

One revelation to you sparks one to a fellow Kingdomheir which just kindles your flame anew which emboldens the flame of fellow Kingdomheirs in a perpetual increase. In flow. In Yahweh! HalleluYah! Now I can see why the INCREASE of His government and peace shall have no end (Isaiah 9:7). Perpetual increase.

Which brings me to another topic-type topic (which is really the same topic anyway, for it is ALL Yahweh!)... flow. The Apostle of the ecclesia I am joined to said something today about how the Kingdom naturally just flows or something. Which totally brought into my mind a Truth/Word of Yahweh, which is: it takes more strife, striving, and effort to stop the flow of Yahweh's Kingdom, to impede the principles of Yahweh, than it does to just flow in it. How can we be in the Rest at all times? Just by being Yahweh's. Just GO with Him and His ways. He is moving, and so to move in tandem with Him is very flow-ing and trying to impede the flow is striving. After all, which is more difficult, building a dam or flowing in the current?

Which brings me to another topic-type topic, freedom. Walking on the water? DANCING on the water. We can do anything with Yahweh and freely in Him. His Word and will and ways prevail. They always have and always will, for in the end, they are all that will remain. Yay!

I LOVE Yahweh! I love Him forever and ever and ever and ever and He is so beyond awesome and He has given me so much. From the small, simple beauties of every day life (see yesterday's blog post) to the great joys of healing, ecclesia, and the Blessing.

The Blessing. He IS the Blessing. The greatest blessing of all. I often hear religion say that we should do things for others regardless of the blessing, and I kind of always felt bad about that for many reasons. One of those reasons is that I DO always want blessing. Because Yahweh IS the Blessing. The greatest Blessing. And truthfully, it is not nor will it EVER be wrong to want Him. !

And if we want Him, as He has said, "...He will give you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37:4).

HalleluYah! :D Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,

And now I see why babies burble and gurgle and coo. I see why cats purr and dogs sigh tenderly. I see why birds chirp and the wind blows. Sounds to glorify Yahweh. To praise Him and thank Him. For I often, in my head, make chirping noises (or, for those who remember the Nintendo video game "Yoshi's Story," that noise Yoshi makes when he wins a level...something like gully-gully-gu-hoo!) or burble like a baby. I giggle and caress my own face. I laugh. I love. For Yahweh is awesome and great and He loves me and when He touches me, I must do these things, though I may not physically be capable of sounding like a bird or an infant. I love Yahweh and I bless Him. He has been so good, so beyond awesome, to me, and I will always love Him, always be grateful for Him and His workings. Yahweh IS.

HALLELUYAH!!!!!!!!

Three Posts in Three Days!?

Ok, so maybe the truth is this post is only here because I wanted to post today, but that doesn't mean there won't be anything worthwhile about this post.

Here's something worthwhile... anything that comes from Yahweh, who is AWESOME!

Things I've seen Yahweh in today:

1) Breathing. Very important for live, breathing. And to think that he must speak every single breath into being. That every heartbeat we have is spoken lovingly by Him. For anything REAL is spoken by Him.

2)Not having a stomach ache. There's nothing like a painful stomach ache to remind you how awesome it is NOT to have a stomach ache. HalleluYah!

3) Not having hives. Trust me...you don't want them on the bottom of your feet. It's really hard to walk on those. Thankfully, I am healed from these, too! Yay Yahweh! Thank Him for the doctors' medicine to make me better.

4) A good attitude. It felt good to get out and help people today at a festival I attended for my Masters degree, and those un-healthy feelings of "grrr" when I was tired lasted only moments.

5) A good attitude. Evidence of change. I was only angry for a few minutes when I found my car wouldn't start. When I realized that Yahweh has provided for me to be able to drive my father's car while mine is being fixed (and it WON'T cost too much, by faith!), I was reminded of how awesome He is and how I should always be grateful for Him, even when things look glum to the physical eye.

6) Things are never glum, Spiritually. After all, REALITY (that which will exist when Yahweh returns and which He has spoken into being) is perfect, excellent, and always Good. Therefore, keeping my eyes on Spiritual things means I can walk in victory forever. Never get sidetracked or distracted by temporary circumstances, for we are not bound by time, and are able to tap into the VICTORY and REALITY of Yahweh that really IS and which will be physically manifest eventually...even before it is manifest.

7) My parents. They are alive. They are healing. And Yahweh is working in them.

8) My dogs. They got bathed today by the dog groomer. They no longer stink! And they are soft to touch. Texture is a beautiful gift from Yahweh.

9) You. Whoever is reading this blog. I am blessed to share visions of Yahweh with you. Maybe you, too, can see Yahweh in your life. Maybe I've even helped you see Him better, which would be an awesome blessing right there!

10) Tank-top shirts. They feel so nice to wear when I am sitting in a room that is slightly warm due to this recent record-breaking weather. 24'' of snow, -17 below temperature one week. And literally the next week, it's 80 degrees. Yahweh must be moving, because the world (weather, society, the economy) is changing...which brings me to...

11) Evidence of change. Everything I've said above, from my own attitude, to natural phenomenon (earthquakes in AR?!) show that "Aslan is on the move," or rather, Yahweh is doing a mighty work in this world. And is it not great, not an honor, to be a part of it? I am so, so pleased and grateful to be a mighty son of Yahweh! HalleluYah!

:D

Love,

Another Post

So, this bodes well. I have posted on this blog for two days in a row, now...once I click "publish," that is.

So what do I do with this blog? What should I post ABOUT? This is the difficult part of blogging/Facebooking/online socializing for me. Do I want to clog the Internet with ramblings that have no substance, or should I only post something what I have something to say? And what constitutes "substance" anyway?

I used to think only the deep, heavy, weighty matters of the Spirit were "substance." But now I realized that, as Philippians 4:8 says, "whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." After all, these things ARE Yahweh. For nothing that is good, real, and lasting is without Him.

So I could post jokes, silly picture of my dogs (who are adorable), a rainbow, a sunset, snowflakes (referencing the picture at the top of this blog), funny stuffed animals that sing in Spanish, a kiss, a hug, a raindrop, beautiful weather, a perfectly sculpted curl in my hair, a well written sentence, the meaning of a word, a clean breath of fresh air, or anything lovely or excellent, and these would be glorious unto Yahweh. For all lovely, excellent, praiseworthy things glorify Him. HalleluYah!

So now, the problem is not a dearth of anything "substantial." There is an abundance of substantial material about which to post, about which to glorify Yahweh! And I would not call this abundance a problem, but a joy. A glory. Yay! This is awesome!

So what can I post about? Anything I want, I suppose. Anything awesome. Anything related to Yahweh! :)

The Kingdom of Yahweh is full of wonderful, amazing things. HalleluYah!

The picture at the top of this blog

Hello blogging world!

Well, I've decided to try the whole blogging thing again. We'll see how it works. I do not have a good track record with blogs. So, folks, if you or anyone reads this, we shall see how long this blog will last. Will I keep it up? Who knows?

Now, about the picture at the top of this blog. While it may change eventually, right now it is a picture of snow falling during our recent record breaking snow. I love the snow. I love the cold weather. I love winter. Most people don't, but I have learned to embrace myself and the fact that I am different from many people, just as I have learned to embrace the differences in people. Some people like warm weather. That's cool for them! My favorite season in winter, with my least favorite season being summer. Heat...ick!

Anyway, this is my blog. A blog about...well, that's to be determined. I suppose everything. My last blog was all about Yahweh (God)...or rather, about doctrine ABOUT Him. But now, now I see that there is nothing without Him. I need not separate doctrine into a box and separate it from anything else. All I am is Him, and He is in everything I do. He is the reason I live, breathe, and participate in the world. He is the author and perfecter. He lives. He loves. And He lives and loves me. Which means this blog is no less about Him than my last blog, but I have no idea what category-type "topic" this blog will be about. But then, trying to put the Creator of the Universe into a box such as a "topic" is rather silly, anyway. Life is all about Him. The World is all about Him. There's a reason it's called His-story! :D

Well, I have to go now, which does not bode well for this blog, since I can barely even finish one post. Maybe I will be back to post again tonight or edit this post. Who knows?

Blessings!
