Pool Mom Summer

What in the world Can get me to leave A perfectly cool house And a list of things to be done? What else.. but A group of 4 children who long to be in the sun Crying out for a mom who wished she could be more fun So off I go, A load in the Jeep Off to the pool Where they race in for a leap Off to the deep end While I sit in my chair Knowing that a good book Will be my comfort there It truly is wonderful When summer time arrives When children force me to leave all my worries behind I rest with my eyes closed soaking up the sun To glance across the water With peace when the headcount is done All is well in a big Texas way All is well. For I'm a pool mom this day.

Bamboo Essence

Hidden, Hidden, Hidden Under the ground my roots you do not see. Deep inside my heart the hope of who I'm to be. Though I am weary & long for the sun I trust in Your hand until your work is done. The rich soil that surrounds me is Your Word that goes deep The water that fills me is Your Spirit that doesn't sleep The Soil & Water work together & Create something deep & true Together they build inside of me a heart dedicated only to You. When the time does come It will be of no surprise. That with great height & strength Eternal Destiny does arise. ~HB CHER inspired by: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#/note.php?note_id=192415780340&ref=nf

Strange Dream Last Friday

Remembering strange numbers.. makes me recall strange dreams too. Last Friday I dreamt of a wolf pack and a foolish Irish Setter. In the dream, my son and I were walking in a field near a stream. On the opposite side of the stream rested a wolf pack that seemed content where they were. I was not too concerned and figured as long as I stayed clear of them, they would leave us alone. My next visit to the field was with a friend of my son. The young boy, immediately responded when he saw the wolf pack and turned in to an Irish Setter and charged straight for the pack. My son and I yelled for him to stop and to come back; but the setter was determined. To my utter horror the dog jumps across the stream and stands in the midst of the sleeping wolves to bark vigorously. Needless to say, the wolves woke and the dog realized he was in trouble. He quickly retreated back to where my son and I were standing.. then raced past us.. leading an angry pack right in our direction. There was no way Cale...

Strange Night

Last night I had the strangest night sleep ever. I kept waking up and looking at my clock.. but each time I would read the time.. it would be in a pattern. Starting: 11:07 12:34 1:23 4:44 6:34 7:18 There may have been more times in between.. but these are the ones I actually wrote down. Not sure why it's significant.. but in the middle of the night; I remember being really perplexed by it.

Building a Culture of Honor

I am coming to a stage in life.. when I am understanding why Kind David did not go after Saul. Why even cutting Saul's robe hurt him deeply. I am learning about honor & authority. There often comes a time where our appointed growth exceeds those with physical authority over us. This is when you learn about what it means to be meek. Meek is not WEAK.. it is strength under control. I have to face men in authority every day. In most cases, their emotional & spiritual development is challenged. God has taught me to keep my mouth shut (unless He tells me to speak) and to HONOR them with my meekness. Even when their weakness is glaring me in the face, I am to say nothing. Even when they are puffed up with pride and pouring out humiliation, I remain silent. I have learned, for me to speak; would shame them, for them to be shamed, would shame the Kingdom. The Kingdom of God comes first before my ego, before how I may appear to others. Even when a son becomes strong.. even stronger...

Speaking of Jumping out of Airplanes

I did this last Saturday. I have so much to tell about the experience, just so little time to get it all written down. I learned something about having a Tandem. At 14,000 ft high, the Holy Ghost whispered in my ear. "I have you tandem for life".. I do not have to worry about being and "expert".. HE is. I just have to be willing to jump.. and trust Him for the rest. He will steer, He will Balance, He will remind me when to pull the chord, He will guide my hand every step of the way.. In the mean time.. I TOTALLY get to enjoy the ride!

at the park this morning

instead of getting to work early. listening to lovesick by misty edwards on repeat. i just couldn't go to the office. stealing away with the love of my life! I love Him so much I can barely keep myself in this temporal body. There is nothing to compare with a real relationship with a living God. Even more intense than jumping out of a plane.

Walking in Love

When words we do lack and sight we have not seen Trusting in the vapor of what is to be. Walking in Love No greater a call Living beyond condition Despite when we fall. Know who you are Be born of your identity Soar, Run, Walk & Stand Nothing can strip you from His hand. Paraclete He is Attached & Made Whole He leads you to the design He walks you to your other soul. Whether near or far, He will find you where you are. For what God puts together, no man can seperate it. For what God puts together, it will go as He stated. Peace ~CHER

A Good Way to Live

I sit here at my desk, with a pile of work all around.. bend my head.. close my eyes.. and say, Holy Spirit, I am connected to the vine. Help me to sense the vine. Increase my sensitivity to the vine, fill me with the pulse of the vine. And tell me what to say. A tiny feather floats across my view and on to my telephone. I pick it up.. put it on something black, and try to take a picture of it with my cell camera. It just comes out as a little white string. As I still have it in my screen and trying to adjust the zoom for something a little more detailed, then it disappears totally from view. 2 possibilities: 1. I was breathing hard enough to accidentally blow it away and can't find it now 2. It went back to where it came from. Regret: Now I just wish I at least took a picture of the string resolution good/or bad. It's not my first mystery feather. I see them quite often now (mostly at home). They always look the same. There is a characteristic stem in the center and what protr...

The briefing

This country really needs to be briefed. I suggest a site that one can watch &/or read what is going on in this country.. similar to a Presidential Briefing in the morning.. no fluff.. nothing about why women with large breasts are angry because their bras cost more. I mean really.. we NEED to be BRIEFED >> for real. Every briefing should have an portrait in politics involved... where each member of our political frame work gets a day where there is a summary of WHO they are and what they do (including a hierarchy chart to visually show their position) News today is GREATLY lacking, and our nation is politically anemic as a result. I for one care to be enlightened, not stuffed with fluff and emotionalism. I welcome anyone and everyone to post links here.. of REAL news in this nation and world. I will keep the "briefing" new and fresh. If the news won't do it.. we certainly can do it for ourselves.

Morning Tears

When I prayed about something 3 months ago. I saw an image in my head that explained an answer to that prayer. But the image also warned me that things were about to get pretty rough.. a month later, God lead me to the bible verse that matched the image exactly.. Isaiah 43:2.. I was SOOO excited. Everything is so much more solid when you have word and experience lining up together. And things were getting rough... recently..I have been feeling tremendous external pressure.. so this morning.. I open my prayer book just randomly to the middle.. said the prayer on the page.. and guess what verse it ended with.. yep Isaiah 43. It made me cry (I'm such a softy). You see? He is right beside me, so close that He reads over my shoulder, whispers in my ear.. places images in my mind. . He holds me when I'm lonely, and breaths on me when I'm sick. He watches me when I work out.. and gives me strength when I fight. He protects my children, sets guards all around them, and keeps them h...

Will You Sing To Me?

Inspired by: "I haven't met you yet, but I hope to meet you soon" ~ A HOLE FOR US TO HIDE IN by ARealFox (take a listen if you like - http://www.myspace.com/arealfox) Do I dare believe for one moment that you exist? Do I reach the place in my heart where I can be that gullible! I hear tales of knights, shining armor men with honor, men capable of truly loving. Do you exist? Are you really there? I would rather be alone than chase after a phantom. Are you there? Can you hear me? Do you feel me? Have you dreamt of me? Will you know me when we meet? I am so closed inside of this place The door is sealed and no one can enter How will you possibly reach me? Sigh, I've gone past the place of caring Past the place of fretting Past the place of hoping Past the place of knowing There or not Exist or not I still have work to do and a life to live The life I see with you in it.. is so much prettier But the life without you, is just as fulfilling. I died, my love too late, I died...

The wee little bored Cannibals

Engage the enemy, not one another. Spiritual boredom, day in day out. .meeting here, meeting there.. change metamorphosis, but still the anointing not poured out, wasted oil. hmmm.... how many unbelievers do you talk to in a day? How often do you go outside of the click of your own church members or people who believe EXACTLY the same as you. There is a danger in not diversifying. In not ministering on the OUTSIDE. The same gifts that are designed to cleanse, heal and refresh those who are HUNGRY for God and NEEDING His touch; become gifts of self destruction when continually turned within it's own body. Not unlike autoimmune diseases resulting from a hyperactive immune system attacking normal tissues as if they were foreign organisms. Get out church.. Get out of your 4 walls. Volunteer at a homeless shelter, women's shelter, prison ministry. Get involved in Work Place Ministry. .. GET OUT! Let GOD use you every day of the week, don't just store up for Sunday and hope you g...

5 Stones for the Giant

There is such a tremendous disadvantage to not being known. It takes a lot of time to REALLY know someone. But I do believe that there can be a quicker process of determining if someone is a healthy individual or not. During meditation, I came up with 5 categories that need to be balanced (the level of these balances determines the level of health). To overemphasize, under emphasize or neglect any ONE, is an indicator of a blockage and the need for healing. 1. Physical 2. Mental/emotional 3. Social 4. Financial 5. Spiritual For the sake of example, I will subject myself to the test. 1. Physical – I am physically fit, ideal weight, exercise (yet not obsessively) and I do it for myself… not to appease anyone. 2. Mental/emotional- smarter than the average bear (Golden Key International Honors Society- TriBeta Delta Tau Chapter Biological Honors Society) through Senior year of Biology/Chemistry degree. (Even though I am very intelligent, I have been working on not being too naive.) I am di...
