a new name ...

Because I love Jerusalem, I will continue to speak for her;
       for Jerusalem's sake I will not stop speaking
    until her goodness shines like a bright light,
       until her salvation burns bright like a flame.

 Jerusalem, the nations will see your goodness,
       and all kings will see your glory.
    Then you will have a new name,
       which the Lord himself will give you.
 You will be like a beautiful crown in the Lord's hand,
       like a king's crown in your God's hand.

Isaiah 61 :1-3

...

Hey God,

Sometimes I over think too much ... and have these big conversations with myself ... that's when I let in the fear and doubt ... 

So tonight I was pondering over the idea ... less head talk and more God talk ... 

I need to start imagining a HUGE GIANT mural on my wall ... of You looking down at me.

Focusing less on me and MORE ON YOU.

Love ya always 

Teena

BORN FOR THIS by Mandisa

Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak when you don't have the floor
Sometimes you gotta move, when everybody else says you should stay
No way, no, not today
You gotta ask, if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this
You were born for this

One step, one move.
Born to trust You.
Made to lay my
Life before You

I am with you always

 

"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age"

Matthew 28 : 20

 

Dear God, 

... thanks for yet another Easter past ... how blessed am I ... my thankful heart is reminded again that you are now at the right hand of God, interceding for me ... that you know me better than I know myself ... that you chose the cross for me ... that you love me beyond belief.

Love ya always

... dancing shadows ...

Dancing Moonlight

Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I hope in Him!”

 

Lamentations 3 : 22-24

Dear God, 

I love how the moonlight dances across my wall ... with my blinds open at night, I can see the shadows of a dancing tree ... as Autumn comes and the leaves fall, that merry dance becomes a waltz ... what a delight for my eyes and my Heart ... Thanks God ... Your mercies are new everyday.

Love ya always

Teena

... consistency ...

Dear God, 

please help me will my consistency ... I am constantly in this battle ... but I don't want it to be a battle anymore ... I would absolutely love my creative flow to be more balanced and not so erratic ...

Please Please Please Please Please ...

Love ya always 

 Teena

watch over your heart ...

Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.
