Hemmed In

| Laura Lee Bonde

Yesterday, as I was making flags, God was speaking to me about the silk of the thread being woven into the material around the weight, and He was relating it with Christ to the church and the husband in the home. I’m not even sure how this will all flow because it doesn’t feel very complete in my head, but God’s telling me to write about it, so we’ll see what happens. Continue reading →

“Living Water”

| Laura Lee Bonde

relaxing in Your Presence
basking in Your Glory
bathing in Your SonLight
I am free

refreshing comes from within
Kingdom High released
never thirsty
never hungry
moisture in the air
light within the tunnel

no curse to fear
no fall to endure
no sinful nature
I am free

“Nothing Lost”

| Laura Lee Bonde

purity
not something lost
not something gained
something “known”

when I say ‘I do’
I won’t lose my purity
of heart
I won’t lose my purity
of body
I won’t lose my purity
of spirit

I know who I am
I know what I think
I know how I feel
I know where I’m facing

when I say ‘I do’
purity remains

In Plain Sight

| Laura Lee Bonde

Last night, I was sitting in bed reading in the bible, and it didn’t take long for me to be wrecked. I was reading in Hebrews, chapter eleven: a chapter I’ve read a bunch of times, and came to a point where I couldn’t continue.

I’ve learned not to “rush” through the bible. I have an entire lifetime to read it, so why not take me time through life to do so. I would rather read one Scripture and become it than read a whole chapter and forget it. Anyway, the part that wrecked me was about Abraham and Sarah.

I’ve always read about their unwavering faith, about waiting for a son, and I would speak and teach about how THAT’s what God recorded, not where they had fallen short, and that’s about as far as my teaching went on that, but last night, God opened up a whole new revelation to me.

“Open”

| Laura Lee Bonde

open my mind
to close
open my heart
to hear
open my ears
to see where You are

so close
so present
so near

open my mind
to close
open my heart
to hear
open my ears
to see where You are

so close
so open
so near

Walking the Streets

| Laura Lee Bonde

Yesterday morning, my friend, Sal, and I met at the Lemon Grove trolley station to see what God had in store for people. It was the second time we’d seen each other, but you would’ve thought we’d known each other for a while because that’s the Kingdom connection we all have in Christ.

When we came together, we were both sharing how we used to “need” outreaches to reach out to people but now, that’s not the case because it’s turned into a lifestyle for each of us. We met to teach another young man how to pray on the streets, but he ended up not coming, so Sal and I decided to change the world without him. Continue reading →

A Dance in Glory

| Laura Lee Bonde

Many times, I’m told that people were drawn to look at me while I was dancing with flags, but as soon as they caught themselves, they apologized to God and looked away, but I’m not totally convinced that watching people worship’s a bad thing. Countless times, I’ve found myself watching others worship because of they way they were worshiping; it had drawn me deeper into the heart of God.

Last night, I had an amazing time dancing with God during worship. Youknow, the phrase for my business is “worship flags that release God’s glory.” That phrase was written for a reason, and I believe people are drawn the glory I’m dancing in, not necessarily me.

I picture it this way: everything God’s done in me and through me pours into my dance, and it gives Him glory, which He gives right back to me. I think THAT’s what people see. Although, I could be wrong. I’ve just heard many people have repented for watching me during worship, and I’m not sure they need to.
