Eyes Open



Winter is upon us and with that comes the harsh cold weather....
The gloominess of bare tress.....
Darkness that settles in the early hours.....
The dying off season........
Purging the old and preparing for the new. 

Looking past the dreariness of winter, we embrace the family time the holidays bring.....
Turning the corner into a new year.....
Thankful for the blessings of the year past, lessons learned and expecting better for the year to come.......
Seasons of loss, growth, and renewal.


Each season  has a purpose but if we walk through them with our eyes and hearts closed, sadly we will miss the joy and beauty found in them.
The same goes for our own personal seasons in life.

Season's of life can come in many fashions.
A season of correction brings maturity.....
A season of isolation teaches us to lean of our daddy God and His ways......
A season of healing brings the removal of old emotional hurts, physical aliments or both.....
A season of restoration allows us to receive all which was lost.

Just as the winter season  brings forth new life come spring....
Our personal life season's do as well however it is up to us to see them and receive them. 

As I am moving into another season in my own life,I pray for my eyes to  be open.....
For my heart to always be receiving......
To recognize the beauty emerging from the ashes.....
To feel His joy even through the growing pains....
To continuously be thankful for each season no matter the struggle, for each struggle brings growth.
No matter the "winter" season we may face in our own lives, there is always a spring.

Do you see yours? 
Or is your eyes closed?

Eyes Open.....



Psalm 119:18
Open my eyes that I may see the wonderful things in your law

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago  (4/8/12) on  "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts.  **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes.....  As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh...

Getting My Hinds Feet

Several months ago I received a word from my daddy God telling me He was giving me hinds feet! I became so excited and thrilled not realizing what I was to go through to receive these promised hinds feet. In my mind, I saw it happening all at once.... No more would I struggle to get to the places I was called to go.... I would go leaping and bounding across all the boulders in my path.... There would no longer be traps and snares in my path.... I was climbing my mountain with my new hinds feet!!! But wait....... I now face more trials..... Heavier loads..... More stress..... More obstacles..... Loneliness that is unexplainable..... I look down and I do not see "hinds feet". I see crippled, hurting feet. ~sigh~ I do not understand.... I can't comprehend this journey.... I was promised hinds feet and I now appear to be stumbling my way over these now larger boulders in my path. I want my promised "hinds feet".........

Sifting Before the Shifting

I have been hearing the Lord say " shift" for the last year.  Shift in the atmosphere, shift in our nation, shift in the church, and a shift in me.  When I think about the word shift, I see a grand swope of the hand of God moving all into a direction of peace and wholeness.I believe without a doubt He is doing so, however I never once entertained the though He'd have to do some sifting.... sifting in me. Sifting is a process, a two part process, when sifting wheat. First comes the threshing, the beating of the grain using a flail. Second part is the winnowing, throwing the mixture in the air allowing the wind to blow away the lighter chaffs and the heavier grains to fall back down for recovery.  I take a closer look at this process and begin to meditate on how it applies to my life. The threshing  is the process of removal; removing those things which will cause me to stumble.When God begins to remove, He does so with the in...
