Getting Real

There are times that I wonder and have thought about what getting real really means. Well maybe looking at the defination of REAL would be a start....

1 : of or relating to fixed, permanent, or immovable things (as lands or tenements)
2 a : not artificial, fraudulent, or illusory : genuine ; also : being precisely what the name implies b (1) : occurring or existing in actuality (2) : of or relating to practical or everyday concerns or activities (3) : existing as a physical entity and having properties that deviate from an ideal, law, or standard — compare ideal 3b c : having objective independent existence d : fundamental, essential e (1) : belonging to or having elements or components that belong to the set of real numbers (2) : concerned with or containing real numbers (3) : real-valued f : measured by purchasing power g : complete, utter
3 of a particle : capable of being detected — compare virtual 3

— re·al·ness noun

— for real 1 : in earnest : seriously
2 : genuine
3 : genuinely good or capable of success (as in competition)

Okay with this stated then lets look at getting seriously genuine.... I like that thought and it is time isn't it to be seriously genuine REAL with yourself and with God! I am ready to let it all go now. What do I have to lose in any of this....I only have him to trust now. Or should I say AGIAN I have only him to trust? After all the years of running where did it let me back to but the feet of Jesus and his face. Again Lord all I can ask is for forgiveness for not trusting that you are the one that can only supply all my needs. You are the only one that can show me true love, happiness and fullness of life. Why Lord do I miss trust YOU of all. Why do I run? Why do I come back?
Let this be a time of getting REAL seriously genuine before you...and never running again! So night as I think on all that you have done for me I am getting really genuine and serious before you ...renew me and I know how you love me and let me never forget YOUR love most of all.

House with no LOVE....

Tuesday, October 20, 2009

I have been on a trip …and how would I begin to tell you how my heart grieved upon seeing this for myself. Have you ever gone into a home where a family lives and yet it is stripped of love? Not to say that they don’t love each other …this is different there is no feeling of love in the home at all. Okay, you wonder what in the world are you talking about….You know we do have a spiritual side of life whether we want to believe it or not. I will tell you that spiritually the love within this home isn’t there. Yes, there has been a divorce and yet they are still a unit with the mom living in the home but in the basement. This is large home and I will tell you everyone would have their own space and living downstairs is just as nice as upstairs, of this 7 bedroom 6 bath home. Yet, the feeling of the lack of love is gone and there is a grieving that I felt the whole time I was there. I was praying one night and asked, “Lord, there is such a sadness within this home”…you know it doesn’t matter how much money you make, how big the house is, how beautifully decorated it is…a house without love is just that…empty. No warmth, comfort, joy, .and where is God in all of this? I had many questions and came with I would rather have nothing and love than everything and no love. Easier said that lived right? I do believe that it is the woman of the home that sets the mood, order, warmth, love of the home. Yet with today and both parents working it is difficult just to keep everything organized and flowing….yet, I see that even my son has the love in his home. Which by the way is an apartment as I have…There is great love and laughter…you enjoy being there and you love your visit. I on the other hand will say that I believe that I need to work on my home and the love within it. I know how to create the love, warmth and have it where people love to visit and stay. Can I tell you that as a couple the best things that you can do for each other is to love each other unconditionally….Really! Have a plan for grace, forgiveness and work on it. By the way, it is work…anything worth it is. I pray for this family and what is about to happen in their lives and I pray that much grace be given…Lord, I ask that you open your hands and loving arms and surround these beautiful children, mom and dad. I ask for restoration from within and that your love would fall on them, heal them, save them. Jesus Name! Amen!
