About
This blog was created to inspire and initiate thought that poke at the pith of ones heart in the Hands of a loving gracious God. I’ve been told for years “You should get that published!” From songs to poems to thoughts to ponder. Yet I believe, it’s not who you know, but WHO you know. I have no need to copywrite – as every single word I’ve ever written has been written on my heart by God alone. His truth, His love, His affirmations and so on have always – and always will be FREE! That He has “copywritten” them on my heart is enough for me! I also believe He intended for it to be shared – like a shining of light – without cost (except that which He may require in payment from within the individual being “shined” upon). Either way it will have very little to do with me! So this blog is for my Lord, in obedience to sharing the gifts that have been given to me. I hope you find it safe to share the gifts He has given you – the “love-notes” He has written on your heart – that you will share them here or perhaps start your own blog. The Truth, REAL love, and grace and mercy of God is hard to find. Yet He said “Seek and you shall find” so keep seeking! Line up all you see here with His powerful Word (the Bible) – test everything against the backdrop of His Voice – and get to know our very Present, very Awesome, very REAL and ALIVE God. Here’s to your journey and mine! God be glorified alone! Amen!
PLEASE look around in all the category tabs, RATE the entry, comment, share your own blessings or thoughts!! I desire to be blessed by YOU too!!
John 10:4, 14, 27&28 – After taking out all that are his own, he goes on ahead of them; and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice. – I am the good shepherd; I know my own, and my own know me. – My sheep listen to my voice, I recognize them, they follow me, and I give them eternal life. They will absolutely never be destroyed, and no one will snatch them from my hands.
1 John 4:1-3 – Dear friends, don’t trust every spirit. on the contrary, test the spirits to see whether they are from God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. Here is how you recognize the Spirit of God: every spirit which acknowledges that Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) came as a human being is from God, and every spirit which does not acknowledge Yeshua (Jesus) is not from God – in fact, this is the spirit of the Anti-Messiah. You have heard that he is coming. Well he’s here now, in the world already!
**Note: I will be using the Complete Jewish Bible as my version of choice. I believe language has everything to do with how things are interpreted. Our God spoke in Hebrew to Abraham, Jesus was raised in the Hebrew language, and the Jewish culture was how he was reared from birth to his death. That God knows all languages is not forgotten, but I love this version. I will put in English all Hebrew words that may confuse the general population.
By no means is this blog to be simply about me :-). The intent and purpose is to shine a light like an angel-ray in a cloudy sky pointing UP to Him, whose image I am made in.
It is the image of God reflected in you that so enrages hell; it is this at which the demons hurl their mightiest weapons. ~ William Gurnall

Thank you. Glad to have ‘happened’ 🙂 upon you today. The Complete Jewish Bible is also my version/translation of choice; for the same reasons as you stated as your reasons. Thank you. I plan to visit again, and often. Your post relative to Matthew 8 and the Roman Officer and his orderly is helpful to me; I plan to share with my Sunday School class tomorrow. Again thank you. Blessings in the Name of our Savior, Yeshua Ha-Mashiach!

Greetings and grace to you Kathi in our Messiah Yeshua!
What a blessing to see you here and that Adonai has blessed you with what you have found. It’s an old post, the longer a blog last three more things seem to get “buried”, (smile). I’m reminded, never forget how the Spirit of the Living God works, always He pulls up things seemingly hidden.
I look forward to seeing you here, and exchanging the glory of Him who binds us together! May Adonai bless you, and anoint with His power your teaching on His day of rest!
Grace and peace to you, dear sister in Yeshua.:-)

Hello Sister Wendy
Yes, in Yeshua (Jesus) we are all family. I married into this family name. My former name was Lawson. I’m honored to be a VanValkenburgh though. Thank you so much for commenting and stopping by. I pray you will be blessed by all you find here. Grave and peace in Yeshua the Messiah. 🙂

By the peace of God who say Yeshua have fellowship one another as our Lord’s commandment
I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. (Joh 13:34 NRS)

In the most important way, yes. He who has remade me and lives inside my heart is Yeshua, my heritage is that of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob; a heritage forever! But would this world consider me Jewish, no. My birthmother may have Jew in her lineage but not enough to be considered a Jew. Its a rather interesting question, I find it amazing that more people don’t announce their adoption proudly! Hope that answers your question accurately in every way. Blessings 🙂

On the contrary, the real Jew is one inwardly; and true circumcision is of the heart, spiritual not literal; so that his praise comes not from other people but from God. (Rom 2:29 CJB)
Today’s Christians are having a lack of dialogue

You will not lose anything
but only my heart is flare up about the faith
