No Valentine Left Behind Part 2

Last week’s post introduced ways Jesus’ love can overflow our hearts and be used to bless others.  The focus was on loving single moms.  This week, I wanted to highlight another demographic that would love any extra smiles you have to offer.

Valentine’s Day can feel like a day gone by to shut-ins and the elderly.  At the same time that a young single girl might be sitting at home and wondering why her day isn’t pink and roses, other hearts are sitting indoors, maybe recalling the days of dances and holding hands that are now only memories.  Jesus wants to hold these hearts too.  He wants them to know that they are dearly loved, and never forgotten.

It can be easy to try to bring warmth into someone’s life through an upbeat smile and a chipper attitude, but it is not always easy to start a meaningful conversation with someone when you might not even know their story.

Perhaps you already know of older people to visit who would love the company, or you may be venturing into new territory.  Every person will be different, so be sensitive in interacting with those to whom God leads you.  Valentine’s Day often feels like a time to make a big show of affection through gifts and attention, but it may also be a point of sorrow for someone who is grieving a loved one.  If you aren’t sure what the best approach would be, just bring yourself and be a friend.  Remember that sometimes the best thing you can do is just listen.

Some people don’t need much encouragement to start a conversation, with others, it may be helpful to ask questions.  What sorts of music do they like?  Maybe you could even listen together of your phone.  Do they have a favorite season, flower, or sport?  If they have been in church for a large part of their lives, they may have favorite Bible verses or hymns.  You may even find common ground that you didn’t expect.  I once had a very amusing conversation with my grandmother about how we didn’t understand the trends and fads of “our generation” (hers and mine respectively), and how they all had to be up on the latest things like Elvis or rap music.

Be sensitive, but don’t be afraid to reach out.  It can be common in nursing homes for a person to have physical touch from those who care for them, but not very often from friends who have time to sit and hold their hand or give a reassuring touch.  Jesus also reached out into places and to people that needed the warmth of His reassuring hand.  Spend time with Him and learn His same compassion for people who are in situations we might not understand.  Even if they seem not to understand everything that is going on around them, ask Jesus to give you His eyes to look past it, and His hear to speak to them as a friend would.  In the midst of a life that rushes by, stop and have a chat with someone who needs a friend.  He may share a blessing with you that you did not expect as you reach out to share His love.

Ask if you can pray with them before you leave.  Even if a person’s mind is not what it used to be, their spirits often remember the touch of their Savior.  It is such a sweet thing to hear a heart that has long belonged to Jesus when it prays.  If you think that you may not be able to visit again for a while, make sure to tell them what the time meant to you.  Don’t be afraid to speak from the heart and let them know what has touched you.  For someone who cannot get out much anymore, it can mean the world to know that they can still reach others too.

A Baby is the Door

 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.
~Isaiah 7:14

I keep coming back to Tai’s post about the Highways to Zion.  Something about a real city, a physical image of the kingdom community, goes so far to help me understand what it is like to know and to come close to Jesus as a real person, a real God, a real King.  That is what I thought when I saw this Christmas card.  The baby King was born away from the people He loved, out in a little stable, or a lonely shepherd cave, but this manger cradle is tucked into a doorway.  It made me think of the city of Zion, and Jesus’ own words, that He is the door.  He didn’t just grow up to be the door.  He wasn’t even born to be the door.  He has always been “God with us,” the example we have of what our Father and His Father is really like.  And this is how He first comes to us; later, it will still be meek and riding on a donkey, washing feet, and with death for a coronation, but at the moment this new and glorious morn breaks over a weary world; a world that lies in sin and error pining, mourning in lonely exile; at that first moment, the reigning King comes as a person probably not even ten pounds, and not even able to lift His own head.

How can Jesus love us so much that He wanted to be so helpless in such a broken world?

I think of how often I can get caught up in everything that needs to be done, and everything I can try to do to make myself better; how I often worry about waking up at the right time, whether or not I know my Bible as well as I should, and always trying to know the right things to say at the right time.  We so often weigh our closeness to God with how much we can carry.  Then, we come to this little door: the way, the only way, to come to the Father.

It is such a sweet thing to hold a baby, to memorize the features of a sleeping face, or watch brand new fingers take hold of your own.  One precious blessing is that you cannot be overburdened with luggage and hold a baby at the same time.  As we come to this perfect door, we must put down everything else.  Sometimes, it is as though everything else just melts away in His presence.  Other times, it is a fight against our nature, and the belief that we now have to find a way to balance all of the cares of our lives and our Christian obligations, and still find a way to carry a baby too without hurting Him.

It is quite impossible, and it is meant to be.  The first and hardest habit to break is trying to protect ourselves.  Can you trust that the Lord will hold back the anxiety and the fear, and protect you from every enemy thought while you spend time with Him?  We shouldn’t have to be looking over one shoulder when we are in His presence; we aren’t meant to.  It is the place of absolute trust.  Trust He showed us by example when made Himself vulnerable to every mother’s worst fears, even before He was born.  He showed us how to become little children in trusting His safety to His Father, even during the time of such violent kings on earth.

Christmas does not need to come with any expectations.  The anticipation of beauty breaks our hearts when we have rested that success on ourselves.  Those expectations are meant to be trust given to Him; fears He will erase when we come face to face with His innocence: a purity that has outlasted the darkness of one thousand generations.  I pray that He will again be the light of your holiday this year.

Merry Christmas.

Martha, Martha

I had a conversation with a friend a while back about spending time with Jesus, and one of the things she said got me to thinking.

“You’re more of a Mary, and I’m a Martha.”

We very much like to categorize ourselves in this day and age.  From ISFP, extrovert, type A, phlegmatic, wall flower, all of the way to “What ice cream are you?” or “Which Bible character are you?” we are encouraged to establish a solid identity, our own little niche of belonging in a chaotic world.  Those boxes often make us second guess any actions or decisions that would take us outside of our own identities.  When it comes to our relationships with the Lord, that cookie cutter identity can be crippling.

When my friend told me that I was a Mary, I had to laugh on the inside.  She is very outspoken, while I could sit for an hour looking at a piece of grass.  She manages to juggle a dozen different tasks at the same time as nurturing half a dozen different people through their fears, joys, and anxieties, all within the span of ten minutes.  I work best with one thing at a time, and can get so focused that I will sometimes not even hear what people are saying around me until my job is done.  From the outside, that might seem like the perfect recipe for sitting at Jesus feet, but being still and listening are not things that come naturally to me.

My mind runs a mile a minute, so it isn’t uncommon for my prayers to become chatter sessions, telling the Lord everything I have planned, and when I think things are taking too long to happen.  I have to laugh at myself when He reminds me to listen, and instead I go down a list and ask Him about all of the things I think He might have to say.  In short, I am very much a Martha.

Realistically, we all face the same struggle Martha did.  When Luke begins this story (Luke 10:38), he says that Martha was the one who welcomed Jesus and His disciples into her home.  Martha had a brother named Lazarus as well as her sister Mary, but it seems that she was the one who took the initiative to invite Jesus into their home.  That is is where we all know to start, and it is certainly nothing to sneeze at!  Martha knew that there would be nothing more important in her life than having Jesus come into her house.  Hospitality was (and still is) vitally important in their culture, and she was ready to give all of the resources, strength, and time she had to make sure that the Teacher and His friends would remember the welcome she had given them.

Now, Martha was no Pharisee or Sadducee.  Her focus wasn’t on whether or not she would look impressive enough.  Her focus was on hospitality and doing good for others.  Along with Jesus and the twelve primary disciples, who knows how much of a crowd was following Jesus that day?  She wasn’t about to let any of them go hungry.  So where did she get distracted?

The story of Mary and Martha takes place in Luke chapter ten.  If we go back just one chapter, Luke nine gives us the account of Jesus feeding five thousand men, in addition to women and children.  Now He is back in Bethany, and here is Martha, stretching herself thin trying to feed one household when the Bread of Life is there sitting in the next room.

Martha does seem like a go-getter in this passage, but fears apply to all of us at one point or another.  She feels the pressure of wanting to do her job well.  She wants to bring comfort and rest to the lives of others.  She hates to think of anyone slipping through the cracks on her watch.  She gets so lonely in all of her cares and responsibilities, that she gets upset with the Lord for not easing her burden by having her sister help.

It’s not that Mary was more into feeling and Martha was more into doing.  All of Martha’s worries are addressed at the feet of Jesus.  It can be so easy for us to imagine that He has overlooked us with His help, and to say “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone?”  Not one person was overlooked when Jesus fed the people in the wilderness, even though the disciples had no money to feed them.  When we place the burden of success on our own shoulders, that is when our stress levels skyrocket, and things start falling apart, whether we’re juggling caring for a family and coordinating a dinner, or just trying to get through our paperwork.  Meanwhile, Jesus is patiently waiting, calling each of us by name.  It is hard to give up control to the Lord, “but only one thing is necessary.”  And when we seek first that one thing, all of our needs will be met, and we will find that Jesus provides more fruitfulness to His ministries than we could ever hope to do on our own.

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
~1 Peter 5:6,7

“Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
~Matthew 11:28-30

Martha, Martha.  Won’t you taste and see that He is good?

Christ Will Not Divorce You

Recently, I was visiting my mom, who read me the following quote from a devotion she has, written by the faithful Puritans of the past, and it really stuck out to me:

“Your sins shall never provoke Christ to give you a bill of divorce.  They may provoke Him to frown upon you, chide you, correct you, but they will never provoke Christ to give you a bill of divorce.”  Thomas Brooks

As I pondered this quote, the truth of it resounded more and more clearly in my soul.  The analogy of a divorce is one that rings true to our lack of commitment in our relationships with the Lord.  “…if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself.” 2 Timothy 2:13

For it is Christ Himself who said, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.” Matthew 19:8  Jesus does not believe in divorce.  He’s not a fan.  His heart is grieved by it just as much in our relationship with Him as with one another.  He made our relationships on earth to reflect our relationship with Him…and He intended from the beginning that they would be steadfast, immovable, and committed until “death do us part”.

Christ will never let go of us, give up, or send us away.  Even when we have sinned, and we think we cannot possibly return to God, for surely He has given up on us and, essentially, “divorced” us…even then, it is we ourselves who are doing the excluding.  Christ has shown us His heart in this matter yet again, when He said, “Return, faithless Israel, declares the Lord.  I will not look on you in anger, for I am merciful, declares the Lord; I will not be angry forever.” Jeremiah 3:11

WE are the ones who do the wandering, as God waits patiently, hoping — longing — for our return.  We get tired of God’s ways, and begin to wander after other “loves”.  We decide we’ve had enough, and that we don’t want to hold fast to our commitment.  We start looking for loopholes in our commitment, and start looking for a “divorce”.

“But I have this against you, that YOU have abandoned the love you had at first.” Revelation 2:4

If we have a broken relationship with God, it is not God’s fault.  It is because of our own hardness toward God, and our own lack of commitment and love.  But God has made the simplest way imaginable for us to return and be reconciled again, if we have wandered or sinned!  It is as simple as turning back, repenting for our sins and our wandering hearts, and learning to DELIGHT in Him again (see our post: The Delight Challenge), as a new bride delights in the husband of her heart!  Then you will find your relationship with God restored, the weight of sin and the loneliness of separation from Him removed, as well as the joy of first love again flooding your heart!  It is never too late to return, because Jesus remains faithful even when we are faithless, and stubborn.  He is SO good!

Single? 3 Ways to Have the BEST Valentines Day EVER!

Valentine’s Day.  That blissful time of year when all of your “non-single” friends get chocolate, and flowers, and romantic candlelight dates.  That dreaded time of year when you hide out under your covers, eat lots of chocolate (that you bought yourself), and avoid everything pink, red, or even remotely romantic.  That, or you’re one of those people who actively torture yourself by scrolling through Facebook, looking at all the sweet things that people did with their “significant other”, and you cry yourself to sleep listening to gushy love songs.  [Some people do it to themselves…just saying. 😉 ]

It’s a wonderful holiday that seems to have been instituted just to remind you of your definite singleness…again.  Not dissimilar to pouring lemon juice on a paper cut [Note: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME — Just take my word for it.]…or having text messages sent to you continually about the HUGE sale that your favorite store is having…right when you’re completely, totally broke.

So, what’s a single gal to do??

Well, you CAN hole yourself up in your room all day, and have a great big pity party…by yourself. But, I mean…again??  Really??  OR…what if you tried something different this year?

Here are 3 ideas to help you have a Valentines Day worth remembering this year!

1.  Pray for your single girl-friends.

Start now – don’t wait!  Begin praying for each of your single girl-friends…and ask God to direct your prayers for them.  Pray that God would encourage their hearts, and surround them in His love this year.  Even ask Him to give you specific scriptures that relate to how you can pray to them, or that would be an encouragement to them.  Praying for others is one of the very best ways to get your eyes off of yourself, and get out of your own pity-party.  Making a list may help you to remember to pray for them, and to not forget anyone.

2. Ask God to show you how to be a blessing to them.

As you’re praying for your friends, ask God to show you how you can be a blessing to them.  Ask Him for ideas of things you can do that would encourage their hearts, and show God’s love to them.  Ask God to make you His hands and feet to show them His love this year.
And then…do it. Whatever God shows you — put it into action!  It may take some real time and effort…and even money, but God will bless you for all you give.  Write out the scriptures God gives you into sweet cards.  Share whatever word of encouragement God puts on your heart for them.  Buy them some flowers…or chocolate…or both!  What do you wish someone would do for you?  Now go and do that for them!  If you really want to go all-out, you can even plan a special evening to invite them over, decorate, and make them a special meal!  Or what about a special girls’ spa night, and devotion time, where you can pray together (spending time with Jesus together is always the sweetest thing)!  The possibilities are endless when you ask God for great ideas — He knows what will most bless each of your friends! And it might be something different for each one.

3. Spend time with Jesus.

This is last, but definitely most important of all, for truly having the best Valentine’s Day!  Don’t forget to spend time with Jesus, and just enjoy His presence.  Remember: He truly cares about you more than anyone else…and even after you have a loving relationship, and a blessed marriage, no guy can fill that spot in your heart that was meant for only Jesus to fill.  You’re not just spending time with Jesus because you don’t have a boyfriend!  You’re spending time with Jesus because HE is your Love, and your Life!!

Spend time thanking Jesus for all the ways He has shown His love for you this year — even write some of them down to be a reminder of His goodness for you when you’re discouraged.  Don’t rush — how would you like it if you were out for a special time with someone and all they did was look at their watch the whole time??  Take your time to really enjoy God’s presence, and be a real friend for Him.

And why don’t you take some time to actually write God a love-letter this year?  Tell Him all the things you love about Him, and that you can’t imagine your life without Him.  Even pray about what you can give Him as a gift this year — it can be something as simple as giving Him your worries about the future, and committing to trust Him more, and not fear about the future.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?? Do you have any other ideas for having a blessed Valentine’s Day?  Have you ever tried reaching out to those who are lonely on Valentine’s Day?  If someone was going to do something kind for you on Valentine’s Day, what do you think you would bless you the most?  Now…how can you take that and use it to bless others?  Share your thoughts in the comments!  We’d love to hear from you, and even feature some of your ideas here!

Mourning Turned to DANCING!!

“Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and come along.” Song of Solomon 2:10

Ouch. That hurts. But do I tell anyone? No. I stuff it. I hide it away from the world because no one needs to know that I am weak or fragile. Ugh! They went to the mall without me again? Didn’t it ever cross their minds that I might want to go too? Not that I’ve given them any reason to think that I might want to go with them. They don’t like me anyway…cuz I’m weird. And they don’t understand me. They don’t even try to understand me cuz I don’t fit into their perfect idea of what a girl should be like. I’m not like those girls. I’m not pretty. I’m not bubbly. I’m not into make-up, shoes, shopping, boys, or chick flicks. And I don’t want to be. That stuff is dumb. Why would anyone want to do that stuff anyway? Fine, they can go and have fun. I don’t really want to hang out with them. They’re just girls.

I was seventeen years old, and I was as much of a tomboy as a girl could get, chasing after adventure and rough-and-tumble playground sports, not boys, and longing for a friend, not a romantic relationship. To be honest, I never really put much thought into why I was the way I was, I just was. I hated being a girl and did everything in my power to be as un-girly as possible. And that was my life. Pink is gross. Jeans should have straight legs, not flared bottoms and tops should be t-shirts or hoodies. Hair should be as short as possible without actually buzzing it all off. If it happens to be a while between haircuts and your hair gets in the way, pull it up into a messy bun to get rid of it. Or dye it blue. Don’t bother with “nice” looking clothes; they’re uncomfortable and never fit right anyway. You have to be polite because the Bible says so, but whatever you do, don’t let on that you are compassionate or caring. That would show weakness or allude to the fact that you actually do have basic female emotions. And whatever happens: do not cry in public.

I am a broken girl. Or at least I was. I have been through one of the hardest forms of pain that a girl could ever go through. Only I didn’t know it. I would just go about life being me. Or at least being the me that I had created me to be. But God was going to bring me through a roller coaster ride of a healing process that would cause me to become the me that He had created me to be: a beautiful representation of Himself to show the world that He knows. He knows. And that it is by His wounds we are healed (1 Peter 2:24).

One day when I was six years old a girl in my first grade class told me she didn’t recognize me that morning when I first walked into our classroom. I was sporting my new haircut, so proud that I had been brave at the hair salon. The night before was my first time going for a haircut. My mom let me have it done however I wanted. And I had wanted it as short as possible. The girl in my class told me that at first when she saw me, she thought I was a new boy that was starting at the school.

Every girl , no matter their age, wants to be called pretty and cute. It’s natural for us girls, so her innocent, childish remark cut into my heart just like the hair dresser’s sharpened scissors had cut off my hair, only in a strange way it almost felt good. It was a pain that subconsciously expressed what was buried inside my heart, deep down somewhere, in the places of my heart I was not allowed to talk about. The place that was forgotten and calloused over. The place that was only confusion and shame. The place that one time, a while back, had made Mommy cry and Daddy speechless. The place that I never wanted anyone to know about, not even myself. This incident with the girl at my school was only one of many that would cause me much embarrassment, pain, callousness of heart, and bitterness over my lifetime. But it felt good because with every biting word or rejecting comment, I had accomplished my secret, subconscious goal: to not be a girl anymore.

This was the first of many times where people would question my gender or comment about it. Many times people would mistake me for a boy and I liked it that way. Yes, it was somewhat embarrassing but I learned to let the embarrassment roll off each time and smile inwardly, enjoying the feeling of being in control of what people thought of me and letting it cut into my heart a little bit deeper.

This wasn’t the only form of pain I experienced over the years. When you live in a way that is different, people do not usually make an effort to be close to you. People just didn’t understand me, and I had developed a hard attitude toward other people from constantly feeling the little snips at my heart.This made my life pretty lonely. Most days I couldn’t understand why people didn’t want to hang out with me or be my friend, but I think after a while I started to get the hint, and I took it for granted that I would never have any friends and that the world just hated me. So what did I do when the pain of people’s rejection or misunderstanding hurt in a way that didn’t feel good? I tried other ways to hurt myself. Not cutting or anything obvious like that, but by finding ways to bruise places that no one else could see, or scratch myself with sharp objects in places that no one but me would know about. I knew it was wrong, but somehow I always found myself thinking clearly about it only after the damage was done. Then I lived with the guilt and fear of other people finding out.

Powerful Low Key Shot of a Young Child Looking Sad

After I turned eighteen I started having nightmares and daydreams that were so scary and weird I couldn’t figure out where they were coming from. I had started really pressing into the Lord and seriously committing my life to Him as His servant. I was willing to go where He wanted me to go and give up whatever He put His finger on. I was spending time with Him faithfully every day and learning to make Him my first and only love. He was my best friend and my life was finally starting to have meaning. I felt His real love for me like no one else could love me.

That’s why it was so random to have these visions or dreams or whatever they were. I knew that the devil always attacks God’s children when they start getting close to Him because he wants to try and get them to slacken their pace in seeking the Lord, but this didn’t really seem like that. It wasn’t like the normal way that the devil presses in… it was so… so real. For some reason, the unsettling pictures that would come into my mind, flashing through so fast I couldn’t keep track of them or rolling through my mind like a fuzzy old movie, were very personal. They affected me somehow. It was as if the things that would pop into my head were part of another world, another life. It was as if I had lived those things I saw through some other person’s body. And it scared me. What was wrong with me?

When I had these dreams I would startle awake in the night or shake in my sleep and wake up crying. I started having these every day and every night and I needed help. I seriously needed help.

I set aside some time alone and I cried out to Jesus. If anyone could show me what to do, it was Him. It wasn’t long before He made it clear that the things I was seeing were flashbacks. Memories of a traumatic time in my life that I had subconsciously blotted out so that I would not have to feel the pain or the shame. Memories I had hidden as a secret deep in my heart and never talked about it. It was like a splinter wound that had healed over on the outside but was still embedded under the skin.

I was having flashbacks from a time in my childhood when I had been sexually abused on several occasions by the same person. I had actually lived through the horrible things I saw in my dreams. Tears streamed down my face as years of numbness began to wear off. The callous on my heart had started to soften the moment I started to diligently make time with Jesus in my daily schedule, and day by day He had been bringing me slowly and gently to this point in my life because He always does a thorough work in the heart of the one who has fully given herself to Him. He doesn’t leave anything undone. His work is always complete. And now it was time for Him to bring up and dust off that painful subject which I had chosen to bury in the past.

For the first time in years I allowed myself to remember. And I was broken. So very wounded. I sought the Lord with all my strength and refused to allow myself to not feel it. I knew that it was time to allow the Lord to dig up the splinter from the past and begin to clean out the wound, even if it was painful. I knew that I could trust Him to hold my hand while I let Him do the painful work.

I took time to pray at intervals throughout a period of forty-eight hours. All I wanted was comfort and relief for my raw and throbbing heart wound. During this time, Jesus showed me that the lifestyle I had been living, wanting to be as unfeminine as possible, was not just a personality bent. It was a self-protective armor I had put on in order to keep what happened from happening again. It was my way of becoming as unattractive as possible in hopes that that would keep the world of men from wanting to harm me for their own pleasure. Instead, in choosing to live in this supposedly “safe” lifestyle, I had brought more pain into my life.

The first thing I needed to do was talk about it all with someone. I needed to get it all out and let someone into the fortress of my heart. I grabbed my two best friends, both older than me and exceptionally godly people who had been encouraging me in my walk with the Lord for several years. I knew I could trust them to help me through this intense struggle.

We sat down together in a private place and I shared with them about all the awful memories that had been resurfacing. It was the first time in my life that I had told anyone what had happened to me. In all honesty it was the first time in my life that I had allowed myself to think about what had happened to me. We talked, cried, and prayed for a long time for the Lord to remove all of the pain and bitterness that had developed in my heart. I tried to be as open with them, with God, and with myself as possible. I just knew that it was time to be done with the pain of all those years. It was time to move on.

After I was able to share and pour out my heart before my friends and before Jesus, I felt a sparkle of sweet joy flickering to life inside of my heart. I felt a lightness and purity that I had never felt before. I felt like I was going to float up to the ceiling and I burst into laughter! My friends were laughing, too, and we were all in tears. I can’t even explain adequately the feelings that were overwhelming me, but that day my heart felt the salve of Jesus’ love being applied and the removal of the chains of bondage that had been holding me a prisoner to myself. The world became beautiful that night, not because it hadn’t been beautiful before, but because Jesus had made me beautiful in His sight.

While we were praying God showed me that I needed to forgive the person who had hurt me. I asked that Jesus would help me to do this immensely difficult thing. Forgiving is something that usually takes broken girls a long time to get around to, but God wanted to do a thorough work in my heart that very night, so He and my two dear friends, coached me through a prayer of forgiveness and victory over the power of the devil in my life. I indeed had been in a bondage to the devil for all of those years without even knowing it, and it was time to be free. Free. Free from bondage. Free from the cage in which I had enclosed myself for protection. Free from all of the terrible memories. Free from the horrible guilt, shame, and loneliness. Free to be who God created me to be. A girl. A woman. A beautiful representation of His love, compassion, humility, and gentleness.

God would then bring me day by day through a dramatic time of life changing healing where He would peel off more and more layers of the old me and replace them with the brand new, clean, whole, and pure me. And now several years later, girls who meet me can’t even see a trace of what I used to be like. I’ve even had girls who didn’t know my story comment on how I’m “such a girl”. God has done such an amazing, healing work in me. I am now a joy-filled, ticklish, pink-loving, scarf-wearing, sparkly-eye-shadow-applying, beautiful-in-Jesus’-eyes wife of an amazing godly husband.

One of the sweetest parts of my story is how God was working out His plan for me to marry one of those two friends who had been helping me through the healing process. My tender husband knows my deepest secret and has been there by my side through all of the changes, the praying, the sobbing, the remaining flashbacks, and the forgiving. He is my best friend and he is constantly encouraging me in my new life.

I praise You, Lord, for You have truly done an impossible thing in my life. You have turned my mourning into dancing and girded me with gladness. How could I ever repay what You have done for me except by giving myself to You thoroughly and wholeheartedly. I desire to show this broken world that Jesus is bigger than the painful things we have gone through and He knows.

Broker’s London Dry Gin

Recently while picking up a bottle of wine at the Summerhill LCBO I ran into this guy doing a sampling of my favourite London dry-style gin: Broker’s Gin.

Turns out it was Andy Dawson. Andy and his brother Martin are the founders and produce Broker’s just outside of London

I discovered Broker’s while designing a cocktail, La Mugnaia, for the Spring Pickle at Secret Pickle Supper Club.

Inspired by the Battle of the Oranges in Ivrea Italy where the miller’s daughter, La Mugnaia, started a revolution.

The cocktail was a hit and the gin became an instant favourite and the house gin at the Secret Pickles.

I like the traditional flavours, complex aromatics and the cute little bowler hats.

Broker's Gin - World's Best Gin

I affectionately refer to Broker’s as: the gin that tastes like getting drunk and making out with highschool boys.

So when I had the chance to meet Andy Dawson, I rushed over and gushed. (I didn’t tell him that last bit.)

We sampled, we chatted, I purchased a bottle and got it signed.

My love affair with gin continues.

Gangster Squad

       There have been many wonderful gangster movies over the years. This is not one of them. But that isn't to say you won't have a good time watching "Gangster Squad".

            First of all, it has a great cast led by Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling and Sean Penn. It also features Emma Stone, Robert Patrick, Michael Pena, Anthony Mackie and Nick Nolte. Second of all, it has plenty of action. What it lacks is any depth.

            The look and feel of the period is right. The story is "inspired" by real events but it's all flash and no substance. Ms. Stone is miscast and Mr. Penn plays the gangster Mickey Cohen in a cartoonish performance complete with cartoon makeup.  The dialog is pretty silly and there are plot holes galore but it's still fun to watch Mr. Brolin and company take on Mickey Cohen and his thugs.

             January is traditionally a dumping ground for Hollywood and "Gangster Squad" definitely has that "sat on the shelf" feel but it's expiration date still has a few weeks left. You could do better (rent "L.A. Confidential") but you could also do a lot worse.

Music Review - The Beatles - Yellow Submarine Remastered

As I brought the digitally scrubbed and remastered Yellow Submarine home I thought to myself, "Fool! You've been suckered into the hype! They convinced you to buy a CD of songs you already own!" My head low in shame, I played the CD anyway. The CD started with "Yellow Submarine" and through the verse I thought it sounded a bit cleaner and brighter but not much else. When the song came to the bridge with all the sound effects, however, I heard things I had never heard before, things that had been buried for twenty-five years under the noise of 1968 technology. By the time the first verse of "Eleanor Rigby" was past, I was a true believer. The strings are clear and individually defined with the cello especially being deep and rich. And so it went through each of the fifteen songs, hearing the bright glissando of Harris' sitar on "Love You To", the full horns on "All You Need Is Love", each song revealing nuances that were previously hidden. Through the process of tearing the music down to the original tracks the engineers have been able to bring these songs out of the comparative shadows of 1968 and into the digital brilliance of 1999. The instruments no longer sound muddled together but rather each one rings out with distinct clarity. With the success of this CD, I would not be surprised to see such treatment given to each Beatles album, with the appropriate fanfare, of course.

Not that everything is all roses with this release. Missing is the orchestral music that appeared on the first Yellow Submarine release, music which for myself and many others was an imaginative introduction to the orchestral world. While the songs are cleaner, they have been remixed, sometimes altering the balance of the instruments (McCartney's bass on "Hey Bulldog", for example, is now almost inaudible), something which might offend purists. For all the richness of this new release, the changes are mostly subtle nuances, a fuller guitar or a more velvety organ, things that are barely noticable except in a side-by-side comparison. The rabid fan like myself will buy the CD and spend many enjoyable hours with headphones intimately dripping the songs into their heads, noting the brilliance of the instruments and the vocal harmonies, but the average fan may wonder is he has been suckered into buying another copy of Anthology 1.

LittleBits’ Droid Inventor equipment is the primary STEM toy that works

I’ve been watching STEAM and/or STEAM toys with nice curiosity and nice skepticism. Whereas many dad and mom and academics report nice success with programming toys like Cleverbot and no matter this factor is, I’ve discovered that children (and oldsters) I do know discover many STEM toys to be sterile, boring, and simply no enjoyable.

The identical held true for the notoriously fiddly LittleBits kits. These kits had little snap-together digital components that allowed you to create circuits and join chips to be able to construct varied initiatives. You could possibly make synthesizers, Arduino devices, and robots and the like however, finally, nothing sparked with anybody I knew. Now, I’m happy to report, LittleBits has lastly pulled off STEM magic with the Droid Inventor equipment and different producers would do properly to emulate them.

The equipment is deceptively easy. It contains only a few elements together with a driving and steering motor in addition to a proximity sensor and a wi-fi unit that connects to your cellphone. The equipment comes with a plastic R2D2 physique together with detachable legs and head together with stickers that allow you to select between purple or blue R2 items and even white stickers that allow your children shade their very own robotic.

Assembling the undertaking is straightforward and the included mounting field makes it simple to put out your circuit and connect with to energy with out worrying about pinched wires or short-circuits. As soon as your droid is assembled you comply with a set of directions on the cell app to show your robotic to comply with you, simulate drive pushes, and different cute video games.

Why is that this product so good? It’s a compelling and enjoyable equipment that’s linked to a very fashionable franchise that acts as each a studying expertise and a toy. Whereas the robotic is at present in items on my children’ ground, they’ve performed with the Droid Inventor equipment excess of every other STEM equipment I’ve seen, together with the basic Snap Circuits that’s way more full but additionally way more complicated than any LittleBits equipment.

Whereas I do know anecdotal proof is shaky a finest, I imagine that LittleBits has lastly gotten the STEM components proper. This $99 toy/gadget/equipment is straightforward to construct, enjoyable, and doubtlessly instructional. It’s basically like a very easy Star Wars Lego equipment with far smarter tech.

Will this toy make your child somewhat genius? No, however they may get a rudimentary understanding of circuits and perceive that small elements can do cool stuff. Once more, I don’t imagine toys like these will make children smarter however no less than they expose them to ideas, instruments, and concepts that might result in a profession in tech. And all it took was so as to add a preferred whimsical beeping robotic into the STEM combine.

Can be found there More Benefit To Rock Landscape Or Lawn Landscape

If you are in the marketplace for the brand new weed eater, you would like noticed presently there are regarding different models to choose from. Helpful questions on rudimentary solutions of string trimmer line. The reason being is each person’s lawn is different, and everyone has different needs for their lawn. Which means you will want to pick out the best weed eater an individual and your lawn.
Overgrown grass at the sides of the lawn is unsightly, and defeats whole object getting a lovely manicured outdoor. Ensure the mower can get as for the edge as you possibly without causing any damage, then trim around the perimeters and around plants your tool that you choose. For i use a whipper snipper. It has numerous other names, depending on where you live, such as line trimmer, strimmer and cheap weed eater. Adore this tool and am a little bit of an expert with it. There is nothing as pleasing than looking back at your work to see a mowed lawn which stands out because of great edge work.
When you do return home; come down to a walk well away from the barn and allow cool down well because near the barn. In order to are cantering in and he wants appear faster, break up the gait to a trot and when needed down to a walk even any time a long way from the barn. If he won’t walk calmly but to help jig and go sideways or tries breaking in faster gait — just a few ingredients to take the time on the paddocks and school him to walk and trot when you tell him far too. If you still have trouble; get help from an outside equestrian trainer.
One of the first steps to keeping a lawn maintained usually water it on the basis when rain is not so prevalent. Depending on the soil, most lawns need for you to become watered every five to seven days. The climate in region can have much to use the watering regimen you set up with your lawn.
A different type of cleanup event is also taking place on June 15 in Forney. The Associated with Forney as well as the CWD are hosting an X-Treme Green event from 8:30 a fabulous.m. to noon at Forney Community Park located at 241 Beds. FM 548. This event is for Forney residents living the particular City limits only. You’ll need to bring a copy of your City water bill being able to to participate. They will be collecting household hazardous waste, paint, electronics, car tires, household metal appliances, and cardboard from locals. They will also offer document shredding and will collect eyeglasses for contribution. For more information about event call 972-564-7390.
Gas/oil weed eaters is obviously powered on gas or oil to operate. However, you need to mix the oil into the gas in order to to refuel it. So when is more heavy duty and can be utilized more often for large work areas, like a garden in a mall or big condominiums. The motor of oil and coal weed eater is often noisy and could be irritating when employed in residential points. But this type works more efficiently compared on the portable types (electric and battery operated weed eaters).
Lastly there’s cost. Although it’s not the prime reason to choose a particular machine certainly has an influence. You could be see a weed eater produced with a household name that appeals to you a person could preferably be expected to a premium. A tool with similar specification but from a cheaper known maker might be just just like and noticeably cheaper. A thing of caution here though – the majority of weed wackers you still usually get what each and every for. It isn’t always true, but certainly worth remember. Cheap equipment can be less durable because of this maybe not such an exceptional investment actually run.gardening, decorating & design, home improvement, business, weddings, shopping & fashion, seniors, religion & spirituality, pets, parenting, lifestyle, crafts hobbies, home and family, landscaping outdoor decorating, landscaping, yard equipment, tools and equipment, shopping and product reviews

The White Supremacist Infiltration of Rap Music | Black Agenda Report

The White Supremacist Infiltration of Rap Music | Black Agenda Report

"While the Klan media suppresses songs like: 'Malcolm, Garvey, Huey' by Dead Prez, they promote songs like 'Birthday Song' by 2 Chainz featuring Kanye West.

One song ('Malcolm, Garvey, Huey') has lyrics like this: 'I live, I die, I organize, everything I do - revolutionize, I build what's good for the whole damn hood, Study G's like these, really think you should, I study Malcolm Garvey Huey, Malcolm Garvey Huey.'

The other song ('Birthday Song') has lyrics like this: 'When I die, bury me inside the jewelry store When I die, bury me inside the Truey store True to my religion, two of everything I'm too different So when I die, bury me next to 2 bitches.'"

A redditor by the name of TagsterG has taken to the Nintendo Switch subreddit and has created his vision of what a Zelda HD Collection box art for the Nintendo Switch would look like, inspired by our article on the subject. In his version, Ocarina of Time HDMajora’s Mask HDTwilight Princess HD, and The Wind Waker HD are included in the set. He feels that Skyward Sword HD deserves a separate release, which is why it’s missing from the Nintendo Switch anthology.

Zelda HD Collection Box Art

I have to say, this is one of the best fan works I’ve ever seen. It’s good enough to pass as the actual box art for the Zelda HD CollectionZelda is what got me into video games in the first place, and as these are four of my favorite games of all time, seeing them all in one collection is enough to bring a tear to my eye. The artwork he chose works so well together, and it’s interesting to see concept art that’s almost 20 years old side-by-side with relatively new concept art (at least TWW HD and TPHD art is updated, versus Ocarina of Time concept art, which is still the original from 1998). Using the artwork of the Master Sword from A Link to the Past enveloped by the Gate of Time from Skyward Sword is a stroke of genius.

Writing about the possibility of this HD collection was one thing. Seeing a mock-up for its box art makes it seem far too real. It convinces me even more that Nintendo should not only do this to capitalize on the franchise’s all-time high popularity, but because the fans want it. There is a demand for it. Make it happen.

Hopefully TagsterG can put together his vision of what the Skyward Sword HD  box art would be like after this masterful display.

You can follow him on Twitter @TagsterGomez! I’m sure he has more wonderful content in store for us moving forward!

My own made Wanton Siew Mai

Batu 14 Puchong Pasar ...

  • I have been going to morning market nearby my area ....
  • When I ask the best pork meat part to make siew mai from the pork butcher ... the butcher asked me so many questions and have a friendly chat.
    Me: I want 200gm of minced pork meat ... give me the best meat part to make siew mai.
    Pork Guy: 200gm enough a not?
    Me: Yes.
    Pork Guy: You know how to do siew mai? Do you do for people or make for your own?
    Me: Errrr, a bit only only ler ... just make for my own.

  • Then after I bought my pork meat, I went to search for siew mai skin cause Tesco don't have any stock. I not able to find any siew mai skin also ... instead, they are selling wanton skin.
  • In the end, I bought the wanton skin as this is my first time wrapping the siew mai with wanton skin.
  • So this is called Wanton Siew Mai (Via's version)

Morning market environment ... packed, stinky smell and hot ... but I enjoy walking around and scouting for my ingredients.

My Siew Mai recipe ...
  • Let me share with you my secret ingredients:-
    - 200gm of minced pork meat (approx to make for 30-35pcs)
    - 2 stalks of Spring Onions, thinly sliced
    - 200gm of well minced fresh Prawns
    - 1 Egg
    - Chopped Garlics
    - Minced Grey Oyster mushrooms
    - Soya Sauce
    - Sesame Oil
    - 2 Pinch of salt
    - Pepper
    - Siew Mai skin wrappers
    - Vegetable oil
    - Cornflour
    - Water chestnuts (minced)
    - Optional: Crab Meat (minced)

All fresh items from morning market ... the pandan leave is for fragrant only ... just for the smell ... it is optional to steam the siew mai with pandan leaves.

  • Method :
    1. Place all the minced shrimps, pork meat and ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Using a large wooden or a pair of hands, mix the ingredients well.
    2. Add in the salt, sesame oil, pepper and egg and work into the mixture evenly, then add in the vegetable oil and sprinkle a small amount of cornflour, then drizzle a little oil over the mixture and continue to work mix.
    3. Add in the grey oyster mushrooms, water chestnuts and spring onions, work these into the mixture and mix well. Now the filling is complete.
    4. Set aside in a refrigerator for approx. an hour. Stamp wanton skins into 7 cm rounds with a biscuit cutter. Spoon two teaspoons of the filling into the center and gather the edge of the wrapper to the top.
    5. Rub a little bit of oil on the plate / bamboo steamer basket.
    6. Steam over rapidly boiling water for approx 10-15 minutes or until cooked.

This is how it looks like when I mixed it with my hands .... the smell very nice and you will like it!

  • When done each siew mai should look like little cylinders, the height a little more than the diameter (approx. 2 1/2 cm by 2 cm).
  • You can do your own style of wrapping too.

This is my wrapping skill ... lots of improvement need to be done ... I am not satisfy with the wrapping ... maybe it is due to the thick wanton skins compare to the siew mai skin ...

  • Here is my final end result of my Wanton Siew Mai ... what is my taste judgement on this? I would say it taste strong compare to outside dim sum restaurant and rich in prawn and pork meat taste .... home cook mah!
  • Do try this recipe and let me know .... you may edit some of the ingredients like mushroom or prawn. I've tried to do Siew Mai with minced chicken and the outcome of the taste was not so nice compare to pork meat.

Guitar amp ireland

Can make guitar amp ireland you're

First date followed by a random run-in at the boatyard. Nice hub. One of the biggest mistakes you can make when trying to to learn guitar is trying to teach yourself. This chord is moveable so if you slide the root up and down the neck using the same shape, you will have sus2 chords anywhere on the neck. To put things guitar amp ireland perspective, the violin is the largest instrument of the violin family that includes all acute viola, cello and bass. That's why they have trouble mastering it. One problem that some people do note with guitar amp ireland lighters, however, is that they are guitar amp ireland but impossible to use at higher pretenders guitarist dead, especially at a height of 8,000 feet or higher. Learn more about the B. Just guitar amp ireland it to guitar amp ireland India, where procreation anarchy leads to famous slums. Fender acoustic guitars were always very good, but they have never really achieved the same status as their electric instruments. From that point on, although he guitar amp ireland no further lessons, his violin remained his constant companion. Once again, four chords get the job done here with a great acoustic guitar song. So I go through it at my pace and find ways to use everything, which is great. There are different quality grades for tuners, bridges, pickups, pick guards, tremolo mechanisms, etc. You will enjoy learning guitar a lot more if you can at guitar amp ireland play one of your own tunes and this will keep your momentum going. The date was June 24, and by vintage guitar market standards it was the equivalent of the British Invasion: Clapton's 1956 Fender Stratocaster Sunburst known as Brownie fetched an astounding 450,000. I felt it wasn't quite going where I wanted with that band, so I did try knocking on a few doors. They expand the space you have for guitar amp ireland and utilize space that typically doesn't get used, like areas guitar amp ireland your closets or on the walls of your home. The price far surpasses the 965,000 paid at a 2013 Christie's auction for the electric guitar Bob Dylan played at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, where he shocked folk traditionalists with a set of rock songs. With a guitar amp ireland with a 13 pin connection, either internally or a pickup installed on the body, you get 100 use of your software. Another effect involves the applied current, which seems to alter attention so that people can attend to what they're doing better; they can pay more attention to the task at hand. I will update this page if I have any problems with it that are due to workmanship. As I said earlier, you don't need to become a full blown jazz musician, or any other kind of musician guitar amp ireland that matter to observe, study, and learn from other styles of music outside your own. Second step:Identify the notes to use. I recall you had some guitar amp ireland while I was trying to resolve a thing over a case. The VCA (Voltage Controlled Amp) maintains the original basic design, but it's been modified to produce less noise. I had worked for this. He graduated in communications at the University of Alicante and then guitar patches for digitech rp90 moved to Madrid to pursue a career in the creative industries. Hopefully, however, the price will drop a bit if the gTar sees wider production. Many also tell the story that the guitar amp ireland strips must be connected by the use of solder to be effective. I have placed them in three categories: the true House song, the audience number and the soliloquy. In the 1960s, Hicks founded a band, Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks. I looked around several weeks, and after looking at all sorts of used electric guitars for sale, stumbled across and with some hesitation ordered one of their Douglas guitars. Guitar master Alvin Knight expands upon why it is absolutely imperative to have an excellent guitar teacher. You'll have no problems staying louder than the drummer, and plan on playing this one in the garage sometime before guitar amp ireland neighbors go to bed. But on this ride, a moment that felt almost a little too orchestrated for the story of this quest. Keep up the good work. It's not really my thing to be honest, but maybe I'm just old fashioned. The only time this clock uses significant power is when the backlights are turned on. Acoustic pianos and digital pianos, both are used by hundred of people daily depending on their daily requirements. They practiced hours a day. A great way to ease yourself into playing in open tunings, is to start with drop D tunings. They offer several double neck models which include a six twelve string guitar amp ireland, a double neck with two six string necks and fan frets, as well as a six string 4 string acoustic bass guitar. Norah Jones and Tina Turner were among the stars to record vocals on the album. Sometimes the enemy seeks to destroy you from beyond your borders and sometimes they live amongst you. Bought mine in '96 also - Guitar amp ireland like a freakin' tank. What follows is a captivating play-within-a-play as Vanda and Thomas read through the sado-masochist' script with regular intervals where they come back to reality and Vanda lets slip her astonishing insights into the novel and the unjust treatment of her character - leading to a truly unpredictable and memorising climax. Afterward, guitar-making skills were passed down from generation to generation. The fretboard is inlaid with metal frets guitar amp ireland demarcate the different notes. The width of the fret determines the amount guitar amp ireland wear that can be expected before leveling and re-crowning is necessary. Capo: An adjustable plastic clip that clamps onto the fretboard to allow the guitar player access to a different key. You are taken from the very basics Rasgueo, Pulgar, Remate and Golpe and given several lessons man posing with guitar each followed up with a practice guitar amp ireland presented in slow and regular speeds. Epiphone was purchased by Gibson in 1957 and began listing budget-conscious versions of existing Gibson models, as well as many of its own designs. Thanks for sharing, as a teen I've always wanted to play the guitar but I can't because I don't have the talent LOL.

View From The Bridge 9/16/09

“VIEW from the BRIDGE”
by Muncie Morger
In my humble opinion, there was no doubt about the outcome of the game with Stanford. Unlike the game with Chinook, which had us in doubt a good part of the way through the game, the Stanford game was a runaway. It was a game of strong defense and offence. What more could we ask for? It was an intense and exciting game and we are sure everyone is looking forward to the next confrontation with anticipation. To add to that excitement, it is Homecoming week so not only will we have the visiting team, Tri City, here but a great many alumni. Let’s put on a good show for them and make it a special weekend with just a lot of good clean fun. Go Horns.
SERVING up a story about the Volleyball Team, we have not been to a game yet but every one who has attended said they are a BALL. The NET result of each game was UP IN THE AIR. (Just kidding Lady Longhorns.) The Girls have won every game so far and they are such fun to watch. They are playing together well as a team and were really fired up last Friday and Saturday when both the Varsity and Junior Varsity won. I quote Holly McAllister who said, “There is no star on our teams, they are all stars. Their hard work is coming together and paying off.”Try to catch the games on Thursday and Saturday of this week with Highwood. Check the River Press for the times.
The Memorial Plaques have all been attached on the benches and tables with the exception of two benches at the Ag Center. My “Super-Gluers.” Myrna and Denny Allen were caught hard at work attaching the plaques. Those of you who own these benches and tables should check out your plaques.
Next Friday is Pie Day at the Golden Age Center starting at 10:00 a.m. It is open to the public and the pies are homemade. There always seems to be a good variety so enjoy your favorite and come for a social hour starting at 10:00 a.m. Bring a friend and if you have Homecoming company, bring them along. What a treat if they are from larger cities that do not have the small-town activities If those of you who are regulars each bring a friend, it would double the number of pie eaters. It is a fundraiser for the Senior Center so kindly support them. Another thought would be to buy a whole pie and take it back to your place of employment. Perhaps you are having company for the weekend and it is too hot to bake…or you just do not feel like baking…or you just are too busy preparing for the company. Whatever the reason, get over to the Center next Friday and enjoy.
Please put bells on your cats. Several people have talked to me about cats in their yards. We all talked about how many birds we used to have in our yards. We filled our bird feeders at least every other day and now the birds do not come to the feeders any longer. They seem to know that it is not safe as the yard has stray cats laying in wait for them. So please, put bells on your cats. I would do it if I could get a hold of your cat but they are so quick to get away. I would love to have my birds back.
Joyce and Ray Erbe (former teacher I am sure many of you remember) visited Fort Benton this past weekend and were guests of Kathy and Harry Buckingham. Their daughter, who lives in Missoula, made them grandparents again which precipitated the trip from Denver. A chance meeting at the Expedition on Saturday evening brought us together. It was like old-home week for them and they were in Fort Benton for a few days. They are returning to Missoula for more visiting there and then they will return to Denver. The neat thing about our visit was that Joyce said they still receive the River Press.
Only five days of summer left from the date on the front page of the River Press (the 16th.) We made a trip to Utica on Sunday and saw many trees with yellow leaves. The speculation about what kind of a winter we are going to have is the subject of most conversations lately. If you see me around town, let me know what you think especially the “old-timers” who have known some very harsh winters. We picked up my youngest son, Jerry, his wife Sherry, and grandsons Joshua, Joseph, and Josiah in Havre where they came on the train from the Detroit area at 3:00 p.m. We went to the C.M.R. football game Friday night, Gates of the Mountain on Saturday (met Grayson and Greg Bonilla there,) and to the Hay-Bale Contest on Sunday. Jerry’s comment about Montana was said in five words, “It is a different world.” Our “Big Sky” certainly showed itself off those days with its deep blue and white fluffy clouds. Today (Monday) they walked the Levee and the Boys said their favorite was “Shep.” Jerry said his was the Old Bridge and Sherry’s was everything. I think that was a very good assessment.
God bless America.

  SCHOLARS FROM THE EAST CAME SEARCHING: After Jesus was born in Bethlehem village, Judah territory— this was during Herod’s kingship—a band of scholars arrived in Jerusalem from the East.
