Lost

Superchic[k] - Stand In The RainFrom the album Beauty From Pain 1.1
She never slows down
She doesn’t know why But she knows that when she’s all alone
It feels like it’s all coming down
She won’t turn aroundThe shadows are longAnd she fears if she cries that first tearThe tears will not stop raining down
Chorus:So stand in the rainStand your groundStand up when it’s all crashing down
You stand through the painYou won’t drown
And one day what’s lost can be found
You stand in the rain
She won’t make a soundAlone in this fight with herself
And the fear’s whisperingIf she stands, she’ll fall down
She wants to be foundThe only way out is through everythingShe’s running from
Wants to give up and lie down


One day whats lost can be found...stand in the rain stand your ground...

Courage

Courage

a quality of spirit that enables you to face danger or pain without showing fear

A quality of spirit...a choice to do and be inspite of pain... that comes from with in..coming from the Father...but still requiring a choice...

24Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for and hope for and expect the Lord!
Take Courage O my soul that I might soar with thee...in the land of the biggest dreams..

Beauty

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
Or how about the in the sweat of your brow...
And the work of your hands..
Beauty is laying your head down at the end of the day tired and only having to take 3 deep breaths to enter into that wonderful place of sleep.
Thank you Father that I can work...and sleep")

To be Seen

EL ROI: "God of Seeing" Hagar in Gen. 16:13. The God Who opens our eyes.

The God who sees me...was the quote that Hagar used..it was the only time this name was called out in the bible in this manner..she was found in the desert in need and she knew that God could see her..to be seen is humbling..by a God of magnitude and purportion that noone can measure...sees me?
Did she come up with this name on her own?
Where did it come from and how did it find it's place in the book of all books?
What does it mean to be seen by God?
Mistakes and succesess...and still be valued...
The God who opens our eyes...to see...what would you have me see today Father...someone hurting, someone broken, the nearing end, the eternal outcome of our choices...wisdom be ever near I pray..

Words of Wisdom From Mary Kay Ash
We have long advocated that, when you set a goal, you first use mental imagery in seeing yourself in possession of that goal. Get a picture of what you wish to possess and keep it ever before you. One day your wish will become a reality. I once saw a poster on which was pictured a cocoon, a worm and a butterfly. Under the picture was the caption, "Choose -- it's the same life!" Which will you be? A worm, a cocoon or one of those butterflies flying to the top? Thinking makes it so! (From My Heart to Yours, Page 42)

The most incredible thing about being in sync with the Holy Spirit is that He never lets you down...Ever since I have moved away from "home" I have felt this nudge to "fly"... scariest thing to even consider much less begining the running and jumping and though my knees are still sore from the last fall I can't help but feel the wind call to me again and I can hear the Father's voice call me again saying "come up here child come up here" so off I go again knowing that with each step there is the oppurtunity to fall but there is also the oppurtunity to SOAR. The beauty in it all is that I know that you are with me, and though I can't figure it all out I am begining to be comforted by leaning not on my understanding but in all my ways acknowledge you and You will make my path straight. I long for a road that is straight, one that leads me to the freedom that I want to fly.
