"I know now that was the day I was picked and being picked is a beautiful thing. But I also know beautiful things are frightening. When something beautiful happens it’s sometimes like an amputation, like your heart is being cut out with a knife. You don’t ever think when you are in extreme pain that you are being saved, chosen, picked for relationship, set aside to be loved. You can never really believe pain. It’s almost always something beautiful transitioning to something better, the whole time masquerading as a tragedy." Donald Miller

The Little Black Reign Cloud of God

I am praying for them, but not for those who belong to this world. My followers belong to you, and I am praying for them. All that I have is yours, and all that you have is mine, and they will bring glory to me. Holy Father, I am no longer in the world. I am coming to you, but my followers are still in the world. So keep them safe by the power of the name that you have given me. Then they will be one with each other, just as you and I are one. John 17

Hate those sacred cows

Angela Young I want to know where we can ask the questions; seek the truth with all our hearts, together? I HATE those sacred cows. "I am praying for ...my followers (who) belong to you...THEY WILL BRING GLORY TO ME... I am coming to you, but my followers are still in the world. So keep them safe by the power of the name that you have given me. Then they will be ONE WITH EACH OTHER, just as you and I are one."

    Angela Young John 17. The last words Jesus spoke must be weighty words. I so want to see with new eyes, hear as if for the first time, the words of Jesus, and believe only Him. i hate religion. Just step on their sacred cows and you will see how much faith Jesus had when He prayed those words. Oh how we need our eyes opened to His truths, the Living Word, seeking to know the truth that sets us free. I am His follower.Lord help me follow only You, desire to please only You, forsake all others.
    
    

Three breves, six hours, French toast, fried rice, and a bowl of cherries later, I am still thinking. You might not want to talk to me today, or tomorrow, or soon for that matter; at least not until I have engaged in enough mindless activities to neutralize the poisonous byproducts of thoughtful consideration. 59 years.

    Angela Young Yes 59 years, and I seem to be one of the few who are seriously concerned. NO I don't think I am "up here, and everyone else is down there". But I am concerned. And I cannot just be okay with it because it is convenient.

    I just couldn't be a good ^#*@^+*, and then I wasn't a good non-&#*)@&%$(^#., so I tried to be a good &#, even went to their school, where I stirred the pot and was almost cooked in it! Now I am not good enough either. I just can't seem to "tow the line" ." I question that", a lot. I think, I even dare to believe I SHOULD think. I know this is risky business. I don't think I am better than others, in fact I am not good at all, just desiring to share, fellowship, ah! Eek! Yikes! Be friends (you know, like those people you see who like each other more than just "love" each other.

    Angela Young No holds barred, speak your heart and out come the labels. No lack of them either. "Wounded" poor wounded soul crying out for someone to hear them. "Arrogant" daring to question. "Lonely" seeking attention. (I can't plead entirely not guilty to that one. Silly me, I actually believe we could enjoy the attention of one another without being just sad, needy, depressed, emotional, "mental" Ha! "Tio Nannu" Silly Nannu.

    Angela Young I am going to copy, paste into my blog, and delete these posts so if you happen to see them just realize they will go away, just like I will, and not haunt you but for a moment. When "visited by the muse" (Dr.B) I write, then, coward that I am, hit the wonderful DELETE button. Perhaps we need the HELP button on facebook. Okay I am going to stop, paste, and delete as I promised. Thankfully few will ever read what I am writing here.
