Simple Quiet Love

There is a commercial on TV about Charles Swarb's Broker Company. This morning it was exactly what I was feeling. The cartoon like character says ...where ever she goes people greet her by name except when she calls her broker. He acts like he doesn't even know her. So the catch is to call Charles. He will know you.

 

I woke up thinking about simple love. You see for me, I love when God does big things, but what draws me close is the little things. God knows how to make me laugh and He knows what makes me cry. He knows the little things that pulls me close. Like parents know about their kids.

One of the ways I communicate with God is through the use of fleeces. It comes straight from the bible and I use the technique a lot. A long time ago, I was leaving a church and it was not an easy thing. I was looking forward and it was scary and different than anything I have done. It was emotional. God knew and it was His plan for me to jack knife me out of that particular church. God spoke to my heart and told me this was His path and I was to follow. It would not look like anything I had know and it would tough and sometimes lonely. How would I know it is you, I asked Him and how would I know I was on the write path. Using the fleece I agreed in prayer that when I would find a penny, I would know that God was near and I was walking as He wanted.

The pennies I have found, and the stories I can tell. That small gesture of love from God has carried me for more then 10 years. There was a day on Eagles Way when there was a couple walking in front of me and one bent down and picked up something. The way she looked at it I knew it was a coin. I wanted so much at that time to hear from God in a familiar way, I wanted to yell and ask what coin it was. I didn't She walked ten more feet and dropped that coin on the ground. It was a penny. A precious penny. I was right where God wanted me.

Another time years ago, I had a friend whom I communicated with on the Internet. It was a fun friendship. The email and laughter were great. Something happened and he had to go into the hospital. He told me one night as we talked on the Internet, and he had no idea when he would be back. He was vague about the details and I didn't want to push. The next day, I cried as I made my way to work. I put out another simple fleece with God as I prayed for my friend. When I would find a nickel, I would know he was ok. And that's exactly what happened. Anytime I got anxious or worried, I would find a nickel. Now, a nickel is not much in monetary value but to me, it was and is a life line. My friend came through fine and we continued our friendship. The nickel evolved to show me when I was most anxious, that things were going to be ok. I still love finding them. Simple love.

During my nickel time, I shared my story with my cousin. I told her about my friend. She actually got more anxious than me. How will you know, why don't you go ect ect... We were in a restaurant. I took a breath and told her the "nickel story". She listened intently and said (As most would ) You find a nickel ...God does this.. I am not sure that would work for me.  As we walked through the foyer to leave the restaurant, she yelled and pointed, and I looked down. In the middle of the rug was nickel. God, as he always does confirmed His word. She picked up that nickel and was truly in awe. It was a God moment.

I use fleeces a lot and everyone I know that uses them ....it works. It is a simple way to communicate with God. And that God know my needs, wishes and wants still awes me. It completely changes moods. It changes the day. It is so simple. It is God's love in action.

Friendships to me are also God's love in action. Many of you have said just the right thing when I needed it. A few of you can say the tough things and have them received in love. God places people in your life to love you simply. I am blessed to have people like that in my life. They love me for me.

I love God in the simple things. I do pray for the big things. When God does something that's so personal to me. The penny, the nickel...that's "our" thing. I know just how much God cares about me.

I am very blessed by the people who are in my life. I love them and pray for them all the time. There are the seven who prayed here. Each one for many different reason plays a role in my life and helps to keep me moving forward. Some it is the love they display, some it is the intrigue that they cause. But each one does something that makes me smile.

I woke up this morning thinking of simple love and simple gestures. I thought of the people in my life and how blessed I am. It doesn't always seem that way. We all live in a crazy world. We are human. We all want the big things and want them now. This morning, I am truly blessed with the small things and truly filled with simple love.

Simple love...whispering a prayer for me when things are tough. Simple love...a phone message...thinking about me. ...an email saying keep going...Simple love...knowing I don't have cable and giving me the pitch by pitch report of the Red Sox game.. Simple love...encouraging me ..even when things are tough for them...Simple love ... a penny on the ground that so many walk past...but to me ...means my God has heard me and answered...

I am blessed and loved... I am loved simply and intimately and there is nothing like it....

 

I pray that God blesses you each abundantly above whatever you could ask or think. That God shows me how to love each of you simply as you do me. I thank Him for each one of you and I pray the angels surround you and protect you. I pray that God loves each one of you simply....

This is the place in the bible you find fleeces....Judges...


Behold, I will put a fleece of wool inthe floor; [and] if the dew be on the fleece only, and [it be] dry upon all the earth [beside], then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.


3. Jdg 6:38
And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.

4.
Jdg 6:39
And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.

5.
Jdg 6:40
And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.

 

Be Blessed everyone....

Day Seven

Here we are! Day Seven...

 

I got off work this morning and went to the store. I found three pennies on the way out. It has been a long time since I have had a three penny day. A three penny day means ....God loves you no matter what...no matter what happens.

After sleeping I walked. It was a quiet walk. I cried a lot. I am grateful for each and everyone of you. I have no answers yet. and I am not sure ...what's next...

I have thought about that for a while today...what next....

patience..trust and to wait upon the Lord......

I thought about what Noah must have thought as he left the ark...now what... the Apostles after Jesus rose....now what...

So I wait in the  ..now what ... and I will tell you it is a bit hard. My faith has been pushed and I refuse to allow discouragement to have its way. I will continue to pray and see what God has for me...

I will praise the Lord ... no matter what ... no matter what tomorrow brings ..I will praise the Lord!

He has surrounded me with those who love me and pray for me and with me. He has blessed me so much. And even if Eagles Way does not go any further... I am changed ..my faith has grown so much this week. I am changed. That's a blessing.

 

I thank you Father for these seven days. I thank for the vision. I thank you for everyone that prayed. I pray that you bless then on a mighty way. You are an amazing God. You are the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. I thank you for touching every life. I thank you for Jesus ...who died for our sins. I thank you for his blood that covers each of us. I thank you for what you have done and what you are going to do ...I pray this on the name of Jesus...Amen.

 

 

This has been an amazing week. Seven people from all over the country ...from all walks of life ....in different places faith wise...joined together in prayer is am amazing thing!

I will continue to write about Eagles Way here... I hope you will continue to read....thank all of you again

Day Six

Don't give up five minutes before your miracle.

This was a story on the Today show this morning as I got off of work. I thought about that on my walk. It poured. I mean down poured and I thought about stopping. But then I thought...what if I stop 5 minutes before my miracle. I came back and changed out of the wet clothes and went back out.  I walked four more miles. I thought how easy it is to think about giving up.

Can you imagine the Apostles standing with Jesus when He told them to take two loaves and five fish and feed the crowd ? Think about you standing there, with those loves and fish in your hands ...looking at Jesus and then at the crowd. I am sure they looked at each other...eye brows raised... they were human after all. The fleeting thoughts that must have gone through their heads. And then turning to the crowd. The first step towards the crowds ....the first step of faith...

Now imagine if they gave up 5 minutes before the miracle...

Once again, you could point to many of the people of the bible. That moment of faith...to build an ark ...to part the Red Sea...to find the promised land...to place you hands on the eyes of a blind man. That moment...when you move towards the miracle. You make the step of faith...

Imagine Paul and Silas in the jail, beat up, bruised, and chained to wall...only to become conscious to realize they had not died. Even in the worst moments of their life they praised God anyway. Singing and worshiping as loud as they can. Imagine what it must have felt like when the walls started to break. Imagine if they had given up.

A few years ago, my mom called me to tell me my aunt was in the hospital. She was not doing well and they expected her to die. I tried to find a way to go and see her. It so happens it is one of the busiest weeks I ever had at work. I was at four meetings in four days. The only day I had was Wednesday and on that day I had a lot of preparation for the following days. I finally made it too my mom's Wednesday evening and she shared that my aunt was going to go to a hospice hospital. I knew being a nurse time was short. I began to ask some questions about my aunt's faith. I knew she was protestant. My mom didn't know much.

My mom was curious to know why I wanted to know. Now my mother is Irish catholic and we have argued a few times about my beliefs. She believed that if you are born catholic you die catholic. I chose my words carefully, telling her I wanted to know that Auntie Martha would have a chance to go to heaven. I shared stories I had from work over the last several years about praying with people before they died. Well she nodded and listened I knew she was not getting it. And then the Holy Spirit took over.

I shared a story that happened ten years before. Knowing how strong she felt about my being born again I had never shared it. I told her about a family friend Larry who had died. That I was at work and just knew I had to go and visit Larry in the hospital. He was in ICU. I got in my car and drove there. I prayed on the way, God you will have to make a way because I am not family and they may not let me in. When I arrived, Larry's brothers were coming out of the ICU and said..go in Evelyn. I walked in and there was a nurse at Larry's bedside. I took a deep breath and explained that I was there to pray with him. She turned and looked at me and said Oh good! I have prayed all day for someone to come and pray. His brothers don't get it. She pulled the curtain around the bed and said take all the time you need. I did. I told Larry about Jesus. he was unconscious,but I know he heard me. Larry died the next day and I know I will see him in heaven.

My mother began weeping while I told the story. It was a "God moment". I told her how important it was for everyone to go to heaven. I could not go to visit Auntie Martha and there was no one that could go but her. It was a "mission from God". She said what do I do...I prayed. This was a hard one. How do I get her to understand the Salvation prayer and everything and she not a Christian herself. I told her to ask Auntie Martha if she knew where she was going...if she did..she would say..Heaven, Home , to be with Jesus. If she said no...then tell her to put Jesus in her heart.

It had to be that simple for her to do. Well she did and my Aunt opened her eyes and said no. My mother told her to put Jesus in her heart. Then they all stood around her and prayed the Our Father. She died later that night.It was hard for my mother to do this. She cried and cried. She cried telling me. But I told her imagine...Auntie Martha is in heaven.

Now if we stopped right there ...praise God! Another soul saved.

But that's not the end. Every where my mom went for the next several weeks she asked people ..do you know where your going...all her friends, at the service for my Aunt, baby showers...she told and told....

I laughed delighted.. I said to God...only You could get my Irish catholic mother to witness for Jesus. Imagine if I gave up 5 minutes before my miracle...

It was a great walk..even in the rain...I carried someone's grocery's to help her to her apartment. I have heard from many of you that cannot post here...I am encouraged and blessed and walking towards my miracle.

Day 5

Faith, Love and Hope.

 

What a day! Day five, my first night shift, and rain! I slept for about 5 hours and then walked. I just got in and I am so full! So let me begin.

Audacity of Hope ...that's Barack Obama's book... I love those words...audacity of hope. I thought about a lot of things that with out hope would have ...should have been nothing and then hope slips in and changes everything.

Let me try and paint a picture. The 2004  Red Sox Team and winning the world series. By itself  it is a nice thought, but when you realize the history and what it took to get there....the small stories ...the hope ...the faith and believing and a group of people who loved enough to believe when things looked quite bad. Not only bad but the same familiar pattern that had happened for decades.

There is a strong love for the Red Sox in New England. ( As many teams have with their fans) I remember clearly the 1967 team. I remember the record that we got at the gas station about the "Impossible Dream" and all of us kids singing that song as we drove with my parents. I remember Fenway Park as a child. Going in on the bus with all the other kids in the summer, sitting in the bleachers and trying to come up with enough money for cracker jacks. I remember throughout the years and the many times we all thought this was the year. Dreams are big at the beginning of every season and when the play offs came and we were there, there was much speculation and hope for a well loved team.

Let me move to 2004, there was still a great love, even after a very disappointing loss to the Yankees in 2003. There was hope and faith that this was our year and then the dreaded Yankees. Down three games to none. Everything seemed as it had always been...great promise only to end in disappointment. Great disappointment.

There is a DVD that was made after the season. Curt Schilling does an interview where he talks about looking into the stands and seeing people crying and the hope being diminished. They could see it in the faces of the people watching that game.

Then the next morning as he made his way to the ball field, hurt not sure of he would pitch or if he could even pitch. He saw people holding signs as he drove ...with one word ..BELIEVE. And hope began to build. He saw the signs all the way to the field. Kids  and adults holding them ...nailed to poles ...and he thought could I pitch...could there be a way....maybe ...

And hope began...

I know you all know what happened. It is the details. The hope that sparked that team to take that game one out at a time, to slow down and celebrate the very small victories that built hope. The belief that sparked hope. Never giving up when facing the impossible.  Hope that sparked a group of people to dig in and accomplish the impossible.

The Audacity of Hope.

Hope encourages. Hope grows out of no where and brings great thing Hope is eternal.

Hope encourages. Hope grows love. Hope sparks belief.

Who have you encouraged today...whose hope have you sparked. Imagine a home made sign tacked to a tree sparked the hope of a team to accomplish the impossible. The smallest gesture bringing the greatest results. Are you the spark that encourages hope?

We all praying here know about Faith Love and Hope. We know the love of a God that gave His only son for us. For our sins. That gesture sparked hope for generations. Imagine if you sparked hope for someone?

Faith is action. Today ...dare to spark hope. Look at something in a different light. Smile and say hello. Listen to someone's story ... really listen ...no matter how hard. Dare to ask someone is everything ok...can I help. Share a meal...visit an elderly neighbor... give someone in need ..something they need. Light the flame of hope. Tack that sign to a tree..

Send a link of this journal to someone who may need a faith push, ask God to show you someone who needs hope. You'll be more than glad you did. There is nothing like it. Do it today and dare to share it with us. Spark our hope.....

The Audacity of Hope.

Spark it in someone today.

 

Father I thank you for the rain. I thank you for everyone praying. I lift them before you and ask that you bless them mightily and in a big way. Father I ask that you show each of us how to spark hope today. That each of us would be that light that brings hope to hopeless. I thank you for the vision and that it has sparked hope. I pray you protection around each of us. That nothing that is not from you will prosper. I thank you for what you have done, I thank you for what you are going to do. I pray this in Jesus name Amen!

Day Four

Three D's

Distraction, Discouragement, Depression

 

my my how the devil works...today as I started my walk I saw the geese...one across  the street from the area in a parking lot. The other scattered throughout in unusual places , in groups of two or three. Not in the group but scattered and out of place. That's how I felt today on this walk. My mind was distracted, my thoughts everywhere. When I would try and focus on prayer my mind would wonder off.

I spent time thinking about distractions. Interruptions to what we truly want to be doing!My how easy it is today to allow distractions to run our lives. If you think how much our minds take in between TV, computers, cell phones, radio....so much noise. It is a wonder our minds don't get quiet. It is hard and takes practice...takes focus.

I spent some time searching out distraction in the bible. Its there. And God speaks about it....

David was distracted, Noah was made fun of, Solomon distracted and we know Adam was distracted. The apostles promised to not get distracted ..yet they did...

So why not us? There will be days with the three D's when it doesn't make sense, where it over powers all else we want to achieve. It is prevalent in this world we live. This hurry up ...give it to me quick world we live in....

As a soldier in the Army of God, what do we do?

Practice, push through, hold on ...pray..pray..pray

You know what...if we want to change things...make them better, take about God, make the world a better place, anything God has asked us...

Guess what? the Three D's will come.....and if it doesn't your in the wrong game. So I say this...I must be doing something right for God! I am in the right game!

So the Three D's ....expect them ....use them as a sign that God has something big for you and you are in the right place ...

And use the " Big P" ...PRAY.....

 

All things work together for good for those who love God....

Day Three

 

Day Three...

 

I walked late as I had orientation for my new job. I saw my eagle right away. This is the first time this has happened in all the time I have gone to Eagle's way. I barely got out of the drive way and there he was.

Today was a day to reflect. I call it letting my mind free flow. On Saturday, it will be one year since I was fired from my job. Today, I started a nursing job working the night shift. The slide down to the valley has been long. I have said many times...I will never be fired from a job...I will never work the night shift...I will never work in a nursing home again.... well, in God's world you learn to never say never ...you learn to bend your will and give over. You open your hard heart to see what God has in this place called "never".

As I walked I could see all the workers doing work on the buildings, getting them ready to sell. I had prayed that early on....God please have all these buildings ready and usable. He had to remind me of that prayer when the work started... as I got all concerned when I saw the beginning of the work. They have put new roofs on, painted, new doors, lights, gas lines, electric work. It has been amazing to watch. I thank God every day I see it.

Today I realized, He was doing construction on me. And I reflected on that. I thought of my slide down to the valley. I saw my sin. I saw my reflection. I thought about what the world sees....do I reflect Jesus?..am I a good ambassador for Jesus...is He first in my life. It is hard to be in the valley. It is hard to live the lessons. It is hard to humble yourself in this world. In this quick, hurry up, give me right now, want it-buy it...world...it is hard to live in the valley.

I know I am a sinner. I lust for the things pf this world and constantly pray about that. I don't always reflect Jesus as I should. I have a strong will that still needs taming. I have a good way of getting over on myself...you know its ok...God will understand. Today, I saw all that. I saw my intolerance for some people instead of seeing their story. I saw my impatience, I saw my pride. I looked at the ugly reflection staring back at me. It brings me to tears. There is no where to hide and honestly I would love too. To go where I am going I have to see it all. I have to look and understand and confess. It can get ugly. A quick word spoken in anger. A prejudice un confessed. A prideful attitude. It all sits before me.

And then, I look up to where my help comes from....I see the mountain before me. I see the blood of Jesus and I know that I know I am forgiven.

I thought about Noah, Abraham and David. I thought about all of the people from the bible and God's grace with them. I think about how hard it must have been to follow God's vision given to them. The ridicule, the mocking ,the harassment and the work. It is hard work. Climbing to the mountain top is hard. There is lots of construction that has to happen. And it is happening.

My heart is open and I am sorry for my sins...I am humbled at where God has brought me. I am humbled at in the midst of construction (and this is not new construction) I have peace...the peace that passes all understanding. A quiet assurance that I will see the mountain top. That I will not only will I bask in His glory, I will reflect His glory. This only by the precious blood of Jesus. I walk in grace Amazing grace.

I suppose if you have to be constructed better to have the best carpenter in the world doing it...

 

and  yet when God searches the world and says who will go...my hand still shoots up and I yell "pick me, pick me". No matter what, no matter how hard, no matter the cost.....I still climb the mountain.

 

 

thank you God for your expert construction. Thank you for reflection. Thank you that I can come to you and ask forgiveness and it will be forgiven. Thank you for the blood of Jesus that washes me clean. Forgive me my sins Father...my lust, my pride, my intolerance, I ask forgiveness in Jesus name. I pray Father for each person praying here, that you bless them mightily. I pray your protection around them. I pray your will be done on Eagle way. That you will have your way Father. I thank you for what you are going to do. I thank you for your unspeakable joy and I love you....Amen

some info on the vision

 

http://www.hayessherry.com/files/Inventory/pdfs/Attleboro%20Preferred%20Real%20Estate.pdf

this is the site....pretty good pictures ...

 

I wanted to take some time and explain the vision to everyone as we go.  The area that I call Eagle's way is a site that held the company- Texas Instruments. There are several empty buildings now. About 4 years ago, they moved all of their work overseas. It devastated the community. Texas Instruments employed about 6000 people at its plants. And since then most of the buildings have remained empty.

I live in a condo right off the site. I started walking there about a year ago but didn't realize how big it was. In April, I discovered you could walk all the way around it and started doing just that. It is truly a beautiful area, Texas Instruments has done a wonderful job. You actually feel like you left the city when you are there.

One day soon after I started walking, I had a vision (and it is not something I usually have) I saw elderly people moving throughout the area safely. I saw a food pantry filled with food. I saw people working ...Christian and non Christian ...side by side. The Christian love in its fullness drawing non- Christian in. It was amazing.

I was very excited. I started walking with a purpose the following day. Like Nehemiah, I walked that route to brake down the spiritual footholds. The first day, it poured. Downpoured. I said "God, I will do anything you ask..you know that but I need confirmation..please". Thats when the eagle flew from my left and landed on the picnic table beside where I was walking. the tears flowed from my eyes as I watched the eagle watch me. It was magnificent to see. It was golden in color and I knew right then, this was God.

I have seen that Eagle most days when I have walked out there. For a while this summer there were two that would fly through the sky. One would get close. There is something about eagles that soar when they fly.

Well thats the beginning .....more history later...

 

Day Two

 

 

 

 

 

It is going to be so hard to write how much God has blessed me already. I have heard from everyone and it is a go! Please feel free to add comments as you feel lead. I am more than blessed today and thank God everyone of you is in my life.

 

I walked a long walk today. Each time around is two miles. I walked 5 times. This is what I felt lead to do. As I walked out of my driveway and on to Eagles Way, I was greeted by Canadian geese. There were four of them. I have watched those geese since the spring and many of them since they were little yellow fuzzy things. The thing I notice about them as I walk is that there is always one who is on guard as the others eat. The "guard" will always and to attention, never moving but watching me walk by with his/her eyes. I am always reminded of this scripture:

 

10For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.


God has made a way to watch each and everyone of us. To stand guard and watch out over us of anything comes in our paths. I felt this verse as I passed the geese. As I continued on the walk and rounded the corner a train was pulling up. As it stopped the car I could see was full of graffiti and the words written on it ...God is Great! I smiled and said yes he is! The weather is wet and cool. The trees starting to show color. There are many animals on Eagles way. Squirrels and bunnies. I have seen deer and every kind of bird. Blue birds sing and sparrows fly bye. The fall wild flowers are in bloom. It is beautiful and peaceful.

I prayed for each of you today. I prayed that God touch each of you in a very special way.

 

I pray now Father for a big move. That will be done on Eagle Way. For You to make a way when there looks like there is no way. I pray you order my footsteps. That I move in closer to you Father. I ask you forgiveness for my sins known or unknown. I thank you for the work you are doing in my life. I thank you for the people you surround me with. Just when I think I am alone Father you show me the love of the people you have put in my life. Let me Father be a blessing to each of them. I pray your arms around each one. I bind anything that would come against them. I pray a great testimony for each one. I thank you for what you are going to do in advance. I love you so much. I pray this all in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

Day one

4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?” 5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 “Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 “The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

 

The walk today was a bit cool and the weather was windy. It was quiet and beautiful today. There is a small amount of color change starting. It is amazing to see the beauty God put in the world. The wind could be heard before it was felt. It was interesting to think about the wind. I know it is used to represent the Holy Spirit and the verse above, I read after my walk. You never know where you will end up ...and we shall see this week...

 

I thank you Father for each one who has been asked to pray. I ask you Father to bless each one mightily. I pray that you open our eyes to new things this week and that each one will draw closer to you as this week goes on. I pray your protection around each one. I pray that nothing that is not of you will prosper during this seven days. I thank you that You are the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I pray the blood of Jesus over each one and I thank you Father for what you are going to do in Jesus mighty name. Amen
