Come What May

I think this video is beautiful & the song....! I love the way Jesus looks...well it could be that the actor is one of my favorite, or because this is sort of how I picture Jesus...Oh the secret is out...I like men with hair on their faces. LOL
Anyways...I love You Jesus...thanks for always loving me.

Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
Job 14:1,2

Family pictures

My youngest brother
I love this picture of my Dad & nephew. He is a good grandpa.
Such a young fellow & already trying out weed. Tsk tsk...he doesn't get it from me.

I have noticed something about little kids, seems to me no matter how cute they are; then tend to poo shortly after their parents have given them to you. Hence my fear of kids. Just joking! I love my nephews!

Feelings about tears...what's your opinion?!

Is it silly to cry? Is it a women thing to do? Is it something to hide? No, I think not. I think tears are beautiful. I think sadness is a beautiful part of life. I think that when one cries it shows a deeper side to them. It draws us closer to our Husband & shows us our need for Him & Him alone.
Men who say they never cry are just hiding behind being manly as an excuse to be hard. Everyone cries, it's nothing to do with being womanly or soft. Tears are Gods' way of washing the heart & purifying the spirit.
Needless to say I am not pro tears. I don't like crying, but I am getting use to it. Yes, I use to be a toughie, never cried.
Well, my sweet Love saw fit to change that. And you know what I am glad. Being able to say "I never cry." was only part of my proud image, which I have no desire for anymore.
So no, you won't see me crying & no I don't cry at the drop of a hat or all the time, thank merciful God. LOL
I just feel that tears are good. It makes us more human, softer in the eyes of God & those around us.
Feel free to comment on this or have an opposite opinion or just add more, like something I missed.

I had the fun of working everyday with these men in the kitchen for 1/2 an hour, highlight, definite highlight. 8)
Well, I don't know Peter, the guy on the far left, too well, but he is an awesome cook & behind his quiet smile is a man full of fun & silliness, which he showed us a few times. Thank you!
As for the other two....I miss their hugs, their silly jests, there making my hands go orange from so much cutting of carrots, our serious conversations, though those were few. Kidding! I just miss you guys. Love you!

I will take my stand!

When Satan comes to tempt me, I will take my stand.
When words spewed forth rock my faith‚ I will take my stand.
When his doubts and lies confuse me, I will take my stand.
When he tempts me to quit, I will take my stand.
When his words seem so convincing, I will take my stand.
When he causes me to question my beliefs, I'm gonna take my stand.
When I feel overwhelmed by his accusations‚ still I will take my stand.
When his attacks are personal and hurt me, I'll take my stand.
When his influence is tempting me to doubt Your words, I'm gonna take my stand.
When others around are losing their faith, I'll take my stand.
I will take my stand and will not give in to his puny attempts to try to overthrow my faith.
I will take my stand and show the Devil what I'm made of.
I will take my stand, for it is not I that live, but You, my Love‚ who live in me.
I'll take my stand, for I have all Heaven fighting for me, with legions at my command.
I'll take my stand, for it is battles like this that bring out the fighter in me.
I'm gonna take my stand and rejoice in the battle, for victory is assured.
I'll take my stand and remind myself that I am destined to win many to Jesus, and this is why the Devil hates me and tries to fight me.
I will take my stand and love this fight, brandishing the keys and the new weapons made available to me.
I will take my stand, for I have joined the ranks of those that have gone before me who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake.
I will take my stand and not go back on it, for it is in standing my ground that the Enemy of my soul finds himself trembling and running in defeat.
I will know no defeat, for I have taken my stand.

Lay down,

your sweet and weary head.
Night is falling.
You have come to journey’s end.

Sleep now,and dream
of the ones who came before.
They are calling,
from across the distant shore.

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see.
All of your fears will pass away.
Safe in my arms,
you’re only sleeping.

What can you see,
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
a pale moon rises.
The ships have come,
to carry you home.

And all will turn,
to silver glass.
A light on the water.
All souls pass.

Hope fades,
Into the world of night.
Through shadows falling,
Out of memory and time.

Don’t say,
We have come now to the end.
White shores are calling.
You and I will meet again.
And you’ll be here in my arms,
Just sleeping.

What can you see,
on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea,
a pale moon rises.
The ships have come,
to carry you home.

And all will turn,
to silver glass.
A light on the water.
Grey ships pass
Into the West.

I'm walkin to you..
to beyond the seas..
beyond the oceans..
this freezing cold doesn't hurts me anymore..
cause I know that I'm so close..

“Laughter is the shock absorber that eases the blows of life."

My roomies! We had the best room there....the most fun in it at least & at times the most people in it. I laughed more then I have in a very long time. You guys were just what I need, creep hand at night & all.
I love these 3 people so much...miss them too. Though Luke is missing from this picture, as no picture would be complete without him. Kisses

"Last night I found me in your arms
so far from my solitude
and at dawn I saw again
that it was only a dream.

Last night I walked with you
all around by this same place
and today I know I wouldn't find
what I have come to look for.

If only the night found
some place in the eternity
nor anywhere in the world
would have greater gift than to wish.

If a day my request could arrive
to the bottom of the well
its echo would repeat:
"I wish I don't wake up again"."

Fly Away my Tears

Fly Away my Tears of pain,
For my hurt has been your gain,
Lift me up into the world that isn't so sad,
Hide me from this world for it has gone mad,
Show me the world that will always be dear,
One where I know my close ones will always be near,
Where is this place where I can be free?
Where can I go to escape inside me be?
Is there a place where there is no graves?
Is there a place where everyone is saved?
I wish I could find it & forever more,
Know what its like to be in a place I adore,
In a world where I have no insecurities or tears,
Where I didn't have to face the days over the years,
No more reminders of what happened to me,
No more pain of how my angels went to be free,
But there is no such thing as a place as this,
Cause no matter what My Angels is what I'd miss.

When I close my eyes and enter the spirit,
listening to gently music
I feel the tingle in my arms
the shivers down my spine.

I feel the rushing of the light
and have the knowledge of going somewhere.

When I come upon a door,
but I can not get through.

Oh what sadness fills me then.
For the door to my true world is shut to me.

But one day I shall break it down,
One day I shall fly right through.

And then I shall see Him
and when my eyes shall see Him
none other shall I want

And then I shall touch Him
and the feel of Him shall chase the wants of this world away

And then I shall taste Him
and in tasting find that He has always been mine

And then I shall become one with Him
and in so doing know the fulfillment of all of my dreams and wishes.

One day....

M.C.

My joy in life is not found in those around me.
Nor is it found in what I have.

Man and things have always let me down,
so no longer do I trust in them.

My joy in life is found in Christ.
For He alone is my perfect life!

A Nauseous Nocturne

Another night deprived of slumber,
Hours passing without number,
My eyes trace round the room.

I lay dripping sweat and now quite certain
that tonight the final curtain
Drops upon my short life's precious play.

Sad Day

My heart is broken.
How can I love again?
My heart is shatter.
How can I trust again?

My mind is racing wondering where I went wrong
Wishing I could hide somewhere and never be seen again.

Can you tell me what I did wrong?
Can you tell me why I am always alone?

I think men see in me something they want to hurt...for they all just use me & throw me away.

Broken, used, abused I lie here; wishing I could drift away and awake in a world where hearts' are whole forever.

M.C.

By God, I love a man with courage! I love a man with guts enough to say, "Maybe I am the last man standing. Maybe I am the last man at my post. But I am going to shoot the Enemy till I am out of bullets, then I am going to stab him till my bayonet breaks off in his heart, and then I'm going to bite him till I haven't got any teeth left." That's the kind of guts you need to win this war. May God help you to have the courage of heart to fight to the last man!—General George S. Patton

I will hold, comfort & encourage you, and with the Power of the Keys of Surcease bring supernatural calm & peace to your troubled & weary heart.

Sometimes life seems to smack you full in the face; being human you have no choice but to keep right on breathing.
Sometimes things seem to all go wrong & keep on getting worse; being a disciple of Christ means you must smile through the tears.
Sometimes you just want to quit, walk away and never come back; being a Christian denies you this option, "Walk on" Our Saviour says.
Sometimes it all seems so dark, so confusing, so very hard; being a bride of Christ gives you hidden strength, light, & comfort.
I will always go on. I will never quit. I will walk on.
I am strong, strong in the fact that though all may fall away, all may fail me; I will always be loved & cared for, because My Lover & best friend will never leave my side.

M.C.

Adventures at the XD

XD is extreme in every way! We are all being tested & free evenings are no different. Let me give you a little taste of one.... I went for a walk with a guy & we are peaceful sitting on a hill; look at the stars & chatting. I hear this grunt coming from the bushes & ask him if he heard it. He sort of laughs it off & tells me there are no vipers around. "Well," I reply, "The other night a couple was off in the bushes & got chased by a wild boar." Not 10 seconds later directly across from us a mother boar & her babies come walking out, soon to be followed by about 10 more adults. We are kind of laughing when we see the daddy boar. He was nothing to laugh at. He is bigger than a dog & has rather large tusks. So we are sitting there very silently when it suddenly looks in our direction. The guy beside me jumps up & thankfully they all run off in the opposite direction, which happens to be on the way to our lodging. My heart was pounding, but TYJ for brave men. We made it home safely..... after having to climb the fence to get back inside the compounded. Who says Family life is not exciting?!
A little info for you on the size of male boars, so you can understand my pounding heart :)

They can reach up to 440 lb (200 kg) and can grow up to 6 feet (1.8 m) long, and weigh up to 705 lb (320 kg).
