IN-Frame

Each day brings forth its offering

    Water fresh or bitter

Syllables of darkness or light

    What structure be of its flitter?

These bricks…are transformed

    Color regardless!

These bricks like a breath

    Becoming…a woven piece in us

This ethereal and misty structure

    Only I view it

Particles, molecules, shades, and shapes!

    Molded by choices

This brick burns brightly and crystal clear

    That brick dark and light blocking!

My lips have brought forth this creation

    Celebration and mourning

Each day, IN-frame another

Crushing Clocks

Chapter 2 of ‘Connected’

    Sandstone blocks, properly staggered and built one after the other. Each block made carefully and with purpose. The perfectly buttressed corners hold square to form this rectangular structure. For the most part, an ordinary sandstone block, as seen in the ruins of history. Every block showing fragments of black and white pieces, broken away from the original source. What is this structure for? What are these pieces from?

    Curiosity treating me like a cat, I move closer. I walk the perimeter, imagining what might be built upon this foundation. Unlike the blocks, the surface underneath is hard rock. On this Rock could be built anything. A close-up view shows the texture of the gritty consistency that forms these bricks. I run my hand over the rough-yet-smooth surface to admire the creative nature of it. My eyes study the black and white pieces to reveal a pattern. What looks like random pieces thrown in the mix of sandstone are pieces from the same source.

    Small black tick marks overlay white on some fragments. On others, evidence of a number become more apparent. What does this visual puzzle mean? My human mind fails to understand what enters the eye gate. The Creator then speaks to my spirit man. No offer He makes or a downloading revelation, but an invitation to discover these meanings.

    This opening picture painting is a prophetic view of Matthew 7:24-29, speaking about the two foundations to build on. The black and white fragments are crushed pieces of an old school clock. There are many truths to discover in relation to time and what our foundation is built on. I would like to take a concept from sports as a life long football fan. It has become normal that players in the pros are considered old at the age of 32 (10-year pro). I have heard a saying that I find layered truth: “Time is undefeated.”

     Time is not going to wait for you. In fact, it will seem to actively work against you. God owns time, from the beginning to the end (Alpha and Omega). That is good news! Your foundation stones are built on solid rock. He will use your time to build upon the rock! Our relationship is built in time spent with Him. You need to forget this idea of time with God as going to church. It does not mean you do not encounter Him there. It should not be your only relational time with Him. Church is corporate time with Him. Jesus (as our example) went away to spend time with the Father, not sneak into the temple!

Is

Chapter 1 of ‘Connected’

    When it comes to a relationship with God, what is it built on. When you boil it down like cooking reduction, what is left? Were it currency, could you take it to the bank? If your relationship were a house, what materials would it be made of? The quintessential goal of this layered writing is to help define what is Christian life in the Kingdom. If memory serves me, an American President famously said, “It depends on what the meaning of the word is is!”

    Is is flow, on the move, fluidly partnering with the I AM. The brightness blinding like driving into the morning sun on a snowy day, blinding light requires attention. In 1 Peter 1:16 (NASB) “because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I AM holy.””  An extreme suddenly is/I AM’ may be Paul on the road to Damascus. He surely had a sudden revelation of what is is! Acts 9 captures the sudden nature of it well. Acts 9:3 (NASB), “…and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.” Verse 5: “…I AM Jesus whom you are persecuting…” Now that is the is!

    There are many people just doing life. They haven’t experienced the I AM…what already is. The God from the Bible is not going to change; how can He? He says of Himself in Revelation 1:8(NASB), “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Your theology (and mine) aside, that is a strong statement of what is!

    The design at the beginning was simple. Jesus came as a model human, left the Holy Spirit there to guide us the same. I have long held that church should be the overflow of the prayer closet. If that is not the case, what are most people going to church for? If any stranger even just wanders in, it should be a supernatural pull of His Presence!

    Before the foundation of the world, Jesus was too. John 17:24 and Ephesians 1:4 are amazing examples. He chose us before the foundation too, so we have some of that is already in us awaiting activation. Here is a prophetic word He inspired for this writing:

“My Image

 is formed as love

My Image

 is formed from the soil I created

 My breath

is love mixed with raw elements of earthen soil

the first Adam became the is from the I AM

 The Perfect Love act of someone made in Our image

is knit together

created with immense potential

is reflecting this great light of love shining back to Us

Future Adams

 eternity ahead

expressing Us, the image of the Eternal

 this created image was good. Good, but not yet complete!”

2017 Waxing Poetic

 

It isn’t very often I free form, pretending I am writing in a journal that no one will see including myself rereading it, but a year ends and waxing poetic calls to me. I am not always quick to ponder the past year, but today I find myself looking back at ol’ ’17 as if to say ‘it’s time for you to go dang it!’

I do see that with more age comes better perspective. Most people may not respond after this years events as I would. Knowing I had to leave a group of friends and getting laid off within weeks of each other. I am surprised how much freer I am after both events. Yes, it took some healing time and willingness for true perspective, but now it is taken care of instead of an open wound. It feels now like I am grateful for it all in spite of it’s harshness, but glad it is finished too! I had to stomp my boots on the rose colored glasses I wore in regards to the old friends and be honest about my old job that it wasn’t near my heart’s desire regardless. I have long believed that God does not bring me to anything that He cannot carry me through.

In 2017 I come away with two big things about God and His nature. 1.) Sometimes I must allow Him to do hard things that are creating my good! 2.) He is truly always good regardless of my perspective at the time. So I realize that losing something that I thought was great for me is Him doing good. I don’t know about you, but I would rather hurt temporarily to avoid a continual cycle of dysfunction!!! I look forward to another year of learning about the relationship between God and myself.
