Sojourner's Cerebrations

just another sojourner... these feet are not my own, these hands are merely just on loan, they were made to be used and make love known, a fruit of a seed once long ago sown... and though the sojourner carries on as the wind is blown, she knows that she's never ever ever alone.

circulation. energy. intervention. flow. short connection. hair to hair, forcing the wind to go. prevention of stagnation. a proactive spin in the air. catalyst of relief. to elope a moira austere.


life just feels better.

Isn't this a true moment with family?
When everyone is rushing to get some grub?
















Heredity
I am the family face;
Flesh perishes, I live on,
Projecting trait and trace
Through time to times anon,
And leaping from place to place
Over oblivion.

The years-heired feature that can
In curve and voice and eye
Despise the human span
Of durance -- that is I;
The eternal thing in man,
That heeds no call to die

Thomas Hardy

There are times
when a girl
just wants
answers to life.
And then
she remembers
come the end
its worthwhile.

There are times
when she doubts
her passion and desire.
And then she finds
her dreams
withstanding to expire.

There are times
when a girl
hears all
the wrong voices.
And then the praises
of a friend
valiantly dash in.

There are times
when she grows
too impatient
with herself.
And then she remembers
to water the garden.

Saved by Spoon...it happens to all of us, in different ways. Accidently made wrong turn, a friend cancels, weird reminders that you forgot to turn off the iron or the stove, we're all saved by our own spoons at some time or another.



Spoon Drop Saves Woman From House Blast
By Associated Press

Tue Aug 21, 9:53 PM
SODUS, N.Y. - Dropping something may have saved Joy Horton's life. The 73-year-old woman was preparing some food in her western New York home on Monday morning when she dropped a spoon on the floor of her kitchen. When she bent down, her house exploded.

The explosion leveled her home in the Wayne County town of Sodus, on Lake Ontario about 25 miles east of Rochester.

Horton wasn't seriously injured. She crawled out from underneath the rubble and walked to her daughter's home nearby to get help.

Fire officials said that because Horton was bending down when the explosion occurred, the kitchen sink and counter top helped keep debris from hitting her.

The cause of the explosion remains under investigation.

Yowzas! That's crazy if it's true!!!

Ahhh...isn't life good?
You can never get ahead on your dreams and desires.
Deep breath and sigh...and take it in...
The Lord is righteous in all of His Ways...
and faithful in everything he does.
He is near to all who call on Him and call on Him in truth.
The Lord fulfills the desires of those who fear Him
and watches over those who love him.
His hand reaches out to satisfy the desires of every living thing.
In its proper time.

Psalm 145.
starting at verse 16.

Praise God for His mercy. We do truly need it every single day.
Yes He does satisfy our desires, because it is He who has placed them
within us... Like a Father who passionately and devotedly desires
to provide His children with every good thing...

He wants to lavish His goodness on us.

"His plans are always moving in the direction of perfect fulfillment and completeness..."
and He is watching us and smiling...hehe.


Yay! I didn't say it (that which is in quotes), but i affirm this statement ~spoken by a wise woman. Today in church, the word was ~the only thing to be anxious about is whether or not you are fulfilling God's plan for your life! ...now my first counter thought- is that we are not suppose to be anxious, about anything, but with petition and prayer bring every worry and fear before God. But yes, it is the priority that should be on the top or should embody all that we do. The 2nd word was that God has a plan for your life...yes! for anyone who does not know that, I pray that He makes that ever-real in your heart...such awesome plans that are laid out for your life, your gifts, a reason, your trials, a reason, your strifes, there'll be a reason!! :) . The potential is GREAT...focus not on your weakness, rather press on in your strengths. One of the best decisions of your life is to decide to throw off your insecurities and put your confidence in Him.


oh... and... there are a lot of people who don't represent the gospel well.
let's represent the love of Christ...and seek doing it better than well.

Today is the day!

Let your ear be attentive to your servants who delight in revering your name. Give them favor and success in the land of Africa and with the people of Kenya.

~Nehemiah asked the same thing and The Lord was faithful.

I have made you and I will carry you. ~Isaiah 46:4

sooo...if we are in Him,
and He is in us.... ~John 15:4

...then He's carrying himself!!
ha, i like that. ~Bwana Asifiwe!!

the girls. :)
the fun. the convos.
the accountability...
they're great.
And there's always more
where that came from.
corny, thoughtful, funny, true.

Before The Throne of Glory...

I'm so glad that I am His. I'm so glad He's taking care of my biz.
I gave Him my heart and he promised to keep it,
And fill me up with his holy spirit.
I said to him Lord, I can't do it alone!
He said, you're welcome to My Holy Throne!!!
I said, Lord! I won't do a good job!
He said, Oh duaghter, don't let me hear those sobs!
I am Your Strength, Your Joy, Your Life,
Don't be puttin' yourself through all that strife.
With every breath you take you breathe my mercy...
So don't be fillin' yourself with no false decree.

He called me His Daughter, His Friend, His Treasure and assured me
and promised to fill me with with His Full measure...
He said, don't you leave without being renewed!
I am taking you higher, get prepared for a CHANGE in latitude!!

The words that he spoke, pierced my heart,
They ignited my spirit, caused this engine to start!
I fell to my knees and cried, faithful are you Lord!,
Then he knighted me with his holy sword.
I couldn't even raise to my feet, awe and wonder too great,
But anyway, I wasn't ready for this love to abait.
He said, I am with you where ever you go, I am you're Father in Heaven
and this you should know. Fear not Oh Child and run the race...

And from you I will never hide my face.

I'm thinking... ...amen anyone? :)
