Eccl 10:7, “I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.” (KJV)
Do you have the haunting notion that you should paint a picture, make a butterfly collection or do that certain thing that’s always on your mind? Do you wish you would just take a walk or a bike ride?..build the deck furniture, make a tree house with your grandson or doll house for your daughter? (You add the next one because only you know what it is.) You’ve been busy with so many things, unfortunately, not satisfying things.
If you put it into perspective using the above Scripture verse, your talent, your notion, that haunting desire is walking in the dust; and your unnecessary time wasters are riding on the horse.
Let’s think of it in terms of people...you got caught up in an office fray and just because you opened your “big” mouth, you’re at odds with someone and you don’t even want to be. Well, friendship and goodness is pulling the horse, and misunderstanding, gossip, maybe even manipulation and old-fashioned-stinky-office-politics is riding on the horse. I’ll do another one for you...Do you know someone who needs your call, visit, help or companionship? You know they do, but you’re too preoccupied with lesser stuff and it robs the time you would use to bless them. You experience the uneasiness every night about 10:00 pm when you try to relax, but you feel guilty because you didn’t do it again today either.....Well peace, service, love, ministry, contentment, inner satisfaction they are all walking in the dust. Something has displaced the quality virtues with lesser notions. The lesser values are enjoying a ride while quality virtues are walking in the dust and dirt.
Maybe it’s time, today, right now, don’t wait, to get on your computer and schedule that “notion” in, get your appointment book out and leave Thursday, 4:30pm open or make Tuesday, 6:30pm available. You probably need to take your cursor and scroll down your calendar and point at all those “time and goodness wasters” and press delete.
Forget the gym, do the notion and have peace…

How does God c u?
Judges 6:12 The angel of the LORD appeared to him and said, "Mighty hero, the LORD is with you!" (NLT)
Have you ever heard the voice from heaven? Elijah heard the voice from heaven in his cave while hiding. Jesus heard the voice from heaven when He was baptised, and those that travelled with Paul heard a voice from heaven but they couldn't see what Paul was seeing...Did you ever wonder what that voice would sound like if it was talking to you or have you ever wished that God would speak to you...Well He does speak to us and He does it in many ways. One way is through His written Word...Here in Judges God is speaking to me...I love what it's saying to me and I love how it speaks to me.
Gideon was hiding in a wine press trying to get some food from some wheat he was able to gather....hungry, hiding like a coward, totally alone, God finds him and through an Angel God speaks to him and says, "Mighty Hero, the LORD is with you'....
The Angel addressed Gideon as a 'Mighty Hero,' God saw Gideon not as he was (a coward hiding in a wine press scratching out a meager ration of some leftover wheat)He saw him as the hero he was going to make out of him. Did you get that, not what he was but what God was going to make of him....Victorious and a Hero. You have to have a battle to have a victory.. and you have to win to be the Hero! Gideon couldn't see any of this but God could. This tells me that God has a position of blessing for me and he will move me to it and it tells me that God sees me totally different then how I'm viewed by others or seen by myself.
When you read the Word, God will speak to you with promises like he did to Gideon. He will make your tomorrow a Victory and he will make you in your part of the world his 'Hero'.
God bless ya dear one. If this ministers or witnesses to you just say 'Amen.'

Tuesday, August 24th-My first post
Just setting up my blog and want to see how it goes. Checking the system out and will post something tomorow.
I want to say "hello" welcome to my site. Since this is really, just simple today, tomorrow I'll have something meaningful.
Check in with a "hi" back to me and tell me you stopped by.
