Our Father ~ Yours, Mine and Rhema Marvanne's

3/24/2012

Thank You Father
The Lord's Prayer

"Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 
Give us this day our daily bread. 
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the   glory, for ever.
Amen".

Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV


I will continually rejoice that each day that I exist on this planet
is
one more day to do the work of my Heavenly father.
I rejoice because its all I can do to worship a Father who is so faithful and full of Grace and Mercy. Ever so often our Heavenly
fathers sends us an angel, a comforter, a true friend an  earthly mother or
father, a savior like his son Jesus who taught us when we pray to
say
  "Our Father which art in heaven, Holy is thy name . Thy
Kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. 
Stand still for
awhile and let the full impact settle into your spirit.
For
thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory.
Every little thing we do must
be to glory of our all Powerful and wholy Holy Father which art in
Heaven.
 

Our Father is A Father who gives good gifts and treasures to serve us while we serve our lifetime here on Earth. Good gifts like our daily bread, a loving and priceless earthly mother or father, a soulmate, a friend for the fire, a voice of little angels like my own little son who reminds me to breathe deeply whenever I am yet again overcome by the loss of my earthly father.
 
Or maybe he sends us the little treasure of mercy called Rhema Marvanne who was sent specifically to minister to the souls of humanity. Her  Heavenly Father, before He fashioned her in her mother's womb ( a mother who the Lord took home via Ovarian cancer) planned for her to be his mouthpiece of Power and Glory. See Below where she sings of 'Our Father'.
Am overjoyed that Little Rhema and I both share the same Father which art in Heaven.  And so should you!

Pathways to Mauritania - Nahana Maakum

My Commentary on the Mauritania Slave Narrative
PictureClick for More Information
Pathways to Mauritana
By
 Zpora

Will someone show me the road to
Mauritania
It is imperative 
that I validate this narrative
that reads like pulp fiction
This study in contradiction

 
Will someone show me the route to Mauritana’s children

My blood boils at the
testimony Of ‘Marienne’s’story.
From these stories hitherto unspoken
The triangle seems yet unbroken


Come with me Spirit of Tubman 
Let us rise up in righteous indignation 
and seek out this tribulation 
that troubles Mauritanians 


Let us seek and find the root of this travesty
And loosen its Stranglehold
On freedom and dignity


What?
What is that you say?
What do you mean there are Many roads that lead to Many
Mauritanias?

Well then……
Come Let us pick One! 
This journey has NOW begun

Purpose Blooms Amidst Thorns Thistles and Trials

3/11/2012

What does it mean
to Find one's
purpose in life anyway?
    In recent months I've been finding a peace and a joy amidst the ruins. Ive been coming into a new awareness of myself and my unique position on the planet. I've been exploring the anatomy of hope and purpose through the lens of sorrow.         
    Knowing that you are not fulfilling your life's purpose and finding the courage and the faith to activate it are two very different things. This used to cause me much discontent, stress and fatique. This came to a head when after losing my father, my life came to a grinding halt, much like the jarring, grating noise of the wheels of a freight train pulling into a station. For awhile after 'The Jolt', I teeter tottered at the precipice of despair and depression.
    But somehow, The Lord of all Grace helped me find the courage to make some life changing decisions. Through the haze and deep distress of a painful loss, I dared to Let Go and Let God and he has caused me to flourish and blossom like desert cacti after the rain. 
    Thanks be to God, I've struck my chord of purpose. Here I am on this blog, exploring my passion for creative expression in a forum that speaks of His Goodness  and Love.
    Just know, that finding your purpose is not a linear process, but one of meanderings, and great struggle towards truth and understanding. However, you will know you are leaning into your purpose or what I like to call in your Zone of Proximal enlightement (TZPe);

                
                When you are sleeping fast
                And Working hard, but loving your task
                
                When your eyes sparkle like a happy bride's
                Yet you embrace your tears and let them slide
                
                When you are at once broke and happy
                Or Rich, but sharing your prosperity
                
                When you somewhat comprehend
                That, Your life's understory
                Will somehow tend
                Towards God's Great Glory!

Sparkle With His Glory and Sparkle For His Glory

3/4/2012

0 Comments

 


The Word Sparkle means:
To give off or reflect flashes of light ~ glitter ~ To be brilliant in performance ~ To shine with animation.
The root word
Spark also means to fire or ignite. If we use this etymological analysis of the word in light of God's relevance to our lives, then we uncover a bright and powerful truth. When we align ourselves with God's purpose for our lives then we can't help but Sparkle For His Glory and Sparkle With the Light of His Glory. When He ignites our Spirit with his love then we in turn emit reflective points of light into the world. We perform brilliantly and even our speech shines with animation when we speak of his love. Interestingly enough the word animation comes from the greek word anima which means soul or life. Coincidence? God's truths sometimes comes to us in a series of incidents, accidents, and seeming coincidences, but its just God's way of remaining anonymous until we gaze intently into the light of His Word and catch a glimpse of the plans he has for our lives. Brilliant plans for a full and rich life that sparkles with his Glory.
