Panicky Branch.

Hebrews 2:14-18 NIV
Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death---that is, the devil--- and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.



Oh me of little faith, at least that is how I feel when I read scripture that remind me of the great work God has done. The question that comes to mind is how, if I believe that these things are true, should my life look, or how do I live?

Things I'm sure of, first that Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life, that I am nothing without Him. Am I really sure of these? If I am Do I bare fruit? It seems that if I truly believe God, that fruit will be the prof.

I was laying in my bed a few nights ago asking God if I was baring fruit for Him, I started feeling a little panicky for a few min., I know me pretty well and most of the time I see the ugly and I worried because how could fruit come from that ugly?

Than I remembered his words, I should say He reminded me of His words, the ones that say things like "abide with Him", or "remain in Him" and that "he is the vine" and "trust in him." As He reminded me of His words the panic feeling went away.

It is about Him not me, and I pray that he would help me to abide with Him to run after Him to be present with Him to want Him and know Him all the days of this life. In Him that is when this life bares fruit, in him is where this life is lived.

It was 1980 when my heart & Mind heard His Call.

John 6:35-40 NIV [35] Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. [36] But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. [37] All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. [38] For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. [39] And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. [40] For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

Wednesday afternoon

There is a good chance that my rational thought prosess has been taken over my by my over emotional female self! The female emotions are powerful forces, and so often I grow weary of trying to keep them in check. Which I believe all women should do! The only thing that helps me most is my relationship with God and others. All that said, I do feel that female emotions are valuable, and they matter. They give us insight and understanding that often times is not based on how much we know of this world. How we feel should never be discounted or pushed aside because feeling are less important than rational thought. Rational thought is good but it doesn't trump the feelings of others. On to other thoughts, today I am tired! I have been tired for days, and I don't understand why. I have been working out three times a week, when we work out regularly aren't we suposed to gain a bit more energy? ya, that doesn't seem to be happening to me. I really hope there isn't...

Music through this journey.

Maybe it's because I love film so much, but the day to day living is better with a tune.  One of the reasons I like coffee shops is that they play cool music.  Starbucks plays a lot of the kind of music I like to listen to,I think that's one of the reasons I go there most, to get my coffee on.  When I think about that,I guess that in general I must tend to be drawn to things based on the sound track going on eather in film or place.  I don't always have music on, sometimes I need quiet, but, most of my days have some kind of music playing in the back ground,(Example of that is 8 hours of relaxation music while I massage out tight muscles) after a long day of tranquil music I get into the car and crank the thrash music it's so relaxing! LOL!
