having one mind
the mind of Christ
mysteries revealed
never hidden
knowing Him
to such a degree
of living WITH Him
eternally
never wanting
never needing
darkness
to survive
having been
on the other side
I can tell you
Light prevails
no more waking
unknowing
no more passing out
to sleep
no more selling
what was His
no more lying
to get it right
flip the coin
until it lands on Him
and choose to live
on the other side
the land of the free
of false freedom
freedom to not feed
the homeless
freedom to pay
for healthcare Continue reading
I love that I’m never
without Him
I love that sin’s
lost its power
I love that all I need
lives in me
when I wake
when I sleep
when I walk
what I speak
He’s with me
songs beg and plea
for Him to come near
I imagine Him singing
those words over us
sometimes people wonder
why I go up front with my flags
there’s something about FEELING the music
not just hearing it Continue reading
there’s so much freedom
in the bible
so much I’d overlooked
before
not knowing it was for ME
not knowing what it meant
waiting for someone to explain it
not realizing the Holy Spirit
did that Continue reading
The other day, I was coming from Santee and knew the freeways were jammed, so I decided to take the streets, and, in doing so, passed by some memory lanes.
You know, some people suggest to never visit your past, but I tell you what: I’ve found victory in it.
As I was going down a road in El Cajon, I drove by a storage place. My friend and her boyfriend used to live in one of the spaces. I remembered it well: it’s where we used drugs, bought drugs, etc. That was back in my dancing days.
This is where people may say, “That’s not you. You’re a new creation. Don’t even mention it!” I disagree. Continue reading
Why hide from something that’s dead to me?
I’m going on a retreat tomorrow but am going to start withdrawing now, so I won’t be writing for a few days.
Let me tell you about my retreat. I’m so excited!!
I’m going to a retreat center on Palomar Mountain. Normally, people go there in groups of hundreds. I like to go alone.
In the past, I’ve gone to another center, but this will be my first time at this one. Because I’m a leader, I get the “pastor’s special,”…all meals included. I won’t be taking anything electronic with me. My car’s been acting up, so I’ll take my phone, but hopefully, I won’t turn it on.
I’m excited: me, God, bibles, paper, pens, thoughts, imagination, conversation…
all alone…
all one with God.
