By Sanctus Real
If weakness is a wound that no one wants to speak of,
Then cool is just how far we have to fall
I am not immune-I only wanna be loved
But I feel safe behind the firewall
Can I lose my need to impress?
If you want the truth, I need to confess
I'm not alright
I'm broken inside, broken inside
And all I go through
It leads me to you, it leads me to you
Burn away the pride, bring me to my weakness
Until everything I hide behind is gone
and when I'm open wide with nothing left to cling to
only you are there to lead me on
Because honestly, I'm not that strong
I'm not alright - I'm broken inside, broken inside
and all i go through - it leads me to you, it leads me to you
(and now i'm moved, and now i'm moved, and now i'm moved)closer to you
(and now i'm moved, and now i'm moved, and now i'm moved)closer to you
(and now i'm moved, and now i'm moved, and now i'm moved)closer to you
(and now i'm moved, and now i'm moved, and now i'm moved)
I'm not alright - I'm broken inside, broken inside
I'm broken inside, broken inside
and all I go through leads me to you, leads me to you
I'm not alright - I'm not alright - I'm not alright
Thats why I need you

Lonely Girl
Hey there lonely Girl, lonely girl
Let me make your broken heart like new...
Everything came to a head last night. It's that whole teapot thing. When the anger starts to boil and then you blow and let outa whole lotta steam. Except, it's not anger that has come to the surface but pain. This pain goes deep. It's an emptiness and heaviness at the same time...The pain is loneliness. It's a different kinda loneliness I never felt before though. It's more then being home alone for the holidays. It's a loneliness that says, no one wants you. No one cares. No one even notices your there. It's feelings of abandonment,helplessness and wandering. I have carried this loneliness with me since I was a little girl. Always being left alone to find my way through life. So much stuff that has left me feeling abandoned and alone. So much stuff that still leaves me feeling left all alone.
As painful as it may be this is all part of my growing up. To see myself as He sees me. To know in my heart and not just my head that He calls me His own. To know I am His daughter and to know how very much He loves me.

IMPORTANT REMINDER:
Today you have a clean slate on which to record your life and your legacy. And because every day adds up to weeks that add up to months that add up to years, there is not one day that goes by uncounted.
So 3 things to work on today:
1. Decide today that this is going to be the best day you’ve ever had and when tomorrow comes you’ll decide the same thing.
2. Fight the temptation to compromise your values and beliefs. It will make you stronger. And temptation will come daily so make yourself consciously aware of that.
3. And as Mother Theresa put it “Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. I think Jesus put it well when He said something similar in Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before all men that they might see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Make that one of your top goals today and you’ll automatically feel better about your life!

Your Love is Like - Lyrics
Your love is like the rain falling on my soul
Covering every place, making gardens grow
Sweetness overflows pouring from Your lips
Kisses from above, let the heavens drip
Your love is like the ocean
I'm drowning in Your presence
I'm getting lost in the gaze of Your eyes
I'm getting lost in the warmth of Your smile
Your love is like a room full of precious jewels
It takes my breath away, there's riches beyond words
When it's just me and You I can't remember storms
All I can do is melt into Your arms
Covering every place, making gardens grow
Sweetness overflows pouring from Your lips
Kisses from above, let the heavens drip
Your love is like the ocean
I'm drowning in Your presence
I'm getting lost in the gaze of Your eyes
I'm getting lost in the warmth of Your smile
Your love is like a room full of precious jewels
It takes my breath away, there's riches beyond words
When it's just me and You I can't remember storms
All I can do is melt into Your arms

Anxious Heart
In Discerning the Voice of God, Priscilla Shirer asks the question Which of the following adjectives describe your stance when waiting on God's Word to you?
I marked doubtful and confident because I still doubt His Word to me but then I have more confidence in His word then I did before and I am becoming more confident in Him as I grow. I also marked other and wrote the words anxious and rest assured because again I tend to go both ways. I didn't understand why the word anxious would come to mind either cuz I do not worry like I used to. But I wrote it down anyway wondering if God was really giving me that word.
So Saturday night at church I got to sit in service. I was late but arrived just in time to hear what the Lord wanted me to hear. Be anxious for nothing, but in
everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;~ Philippians 4:6
I learned that anxious in this passage means drawn or pulled in different directions.
I just about fell outa my seat. Well, okay, I wanted to but I didn't. Everything inside me was jumping at the fact that God was talking to me. I had no idea that anxious could mean that. I always thought it only meant worry.
Anxious is a problem for me. I am definitely drawn and pulled in different directions by others opinions or judgmental comments to me. This is the other voice that distracts me from the one true voice that I need to follow, the only one that matters. This is also where my approval addiction kicks in. The only opinion and approval I should be seeking is the Word of God and not what man thinks.
I have learned in the last couple weeks that we are not all in the same place spiritually and therefore you can have two people reading the same book, passage, or listening to the same message but there perceptions can be very different.
Lord teach me to follow hard after you. May I receive others opinions of myself with patience and grace just as you have received me in patient love and grace. And may your opinion and approval be the only one that matters to me, the only one I follow.

Friendship Study
I am doing a friendship study with a few women. We are studying this book. It's an area in my life that I have chosen not to think about. It has been hard for me this past week to go there. I have not written into the group and talked about my thoughts yet cuz I really don't know how to put them into words and how much to even say. So I figured I would blog about it and see what comes out.
They Drew A Circle and Left Me Out:
I keep asking God to show me how it was. Was I ever left out. I don't remember being left out but I am sure I was sometimes, aren't we all? I don't think it ever really bothered me though. In elementary school I always had my sister and cousin to play with if no one else wanted to. I made friends pretty easily so I always had them. But here's where it gets tricky. When clicks started forming in 6th grade, I never really belonged to a particular group. I was friends with the good girls and also friends with the popular one's. This was also a small Christian school so we all knew of each other.
Sororities:
I never went to collage, so never joined a sorority. The closest thing I can relate to it though would be gangs. No, I never joined a gang. But I hung out with the homies from ages 15-20. To be honest I was there sidekick. Us girls gave ourselves away like candy. Some more then others. I happened to be in the more category. This is how I became popular. Everyone knew me but for the wrong reasons.
So this is what God is showing me. The question has always been why? Why would I give myself away to so many. It has been said because I didn't have a dad and I wanted male attention. Maybe I was sexually abused when I was little.
It never mattered to me that I didn't belong in school cuz the thing that I wanted to belong to was a dad and mom. The thing that hurt me all through childhood and beyond was not having parents that noticed me and never being accepted in church. I have carried this not belonging feeling with me to adulthood. Just recently the Lord has begun to reveal this to me and heal me from this not belonging anywhere I go thinking and is replacing it with me belonging to Him. Since doing this study I see that the gangs gave me a sense of belonging and with the sex and popularity I became noticed.
What's sad is that this is the mentality some people approach church with. I hear it thru the 'high school' comments they make and the cliques that can form.
Until we come to the full understanding of Who we really belong to then we will continue searching for it through other means all the while never being fully satisfied.
Recently I found myself trying to figure out what group I belong to in my church when it comes to the Holy Spirit. The Lord quickly checked me on that one. He said, it does not matter, don't belong to either. You belong to me. Follow me.
He is the way, the truth and the life and that's all that matters.

Let My People Go
Over the last few days the Lord has been showing me that I need to let Joe go.
For the past month He has told me that it's his time to be in the service and not in the family room. Then at bible study Friday night the thought came to me that maybe I am not supposed to be with Joe right now in the service. The next day as I was driving home from a friendship meeting the Lord said to me, "He's mine first, not yours let him go." This reminded me of the time back in August when the Lord showed me that Joe will be saved to worship Him, not me.
We did not make it to church over the weekend. Sunday night the Lord impressed on my heart to make more of an effort to get my family to church. Joe really needs to be there. Last night at the last minute I decided to go to Royal Identity's Thanksgiving Feast. While there I met a lady I had never met before. She was awesome! As I listened to her talk the Lord showed me that I don't have to feel bad that my lil' ones are sitting with me in church and I don't have to feel bad if I don't put them in the toddler room. I am where I need to be for such a time as this.
This morning the Lord is telling me to "let my people(Joe) go" So I looked up that story in the bible. He led me to Exodus and in chapter 8 verse 1 the Lord says to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and say to Him this is what the Lord says:Let my people go so that they may worship me."
It's Joe's time. Time to find himself in the Lord apart from me. Just like I have had to find myself in the Lord. He belongs to Him first. The Lord is also showing me to let him go and He will give him back twofold.

Guard the Heart
God has been talking to me the past few weeks about guarding my heart. Today I was reading in 2 Timothy and verse 14 says, Guard and keep[with the greatest care] the precious and excellently adapted [Truth] wich has been entrusted [to you], by the [help of the] Holy Spirit Who makes His home in us. Great verse!
First Love
You are my first Love. Because You are like no other love I have ever known. I have never known love like this. All the other lovers are false and lead to emptiness. I'm tired of false love and feeling empty. What makes me think that I can find true love in people or things when You are the only One I need, the only One that can fill the void that lingers deep within. I can't believe how real Your Love is. It's like a fairy tale. A dream come true. Only, I am the princess and You, You are captivating and beholding. Your gentle voice and touch lead me. Laced with grace I am free to be me in You, with You, for You. I want to stay in Your embrace always & forever. I love You my Lord and Savior.

Dance!
Song of Solomon 6:4~13 (The Message)
Dear, dear friend and lover,
you're as beautiful as Tirzah, city of delights, Lovely as Jerusalem, city of dreams,
the ravishing visions of my ecstasy. Your beauty is too much for me—I'm in over my head.
I'm not used to this! I can't take it in.
Your hair flows and shimmers like a flock of goats in the distance
streaming down a hillside in the sunshine. Your smile is generous and full—
expressive and strong and clean. Your veiled cheeks are soft and radiant.
There's no one like her on earth, never has been, never will be.
She's a woman beyond compare. My dove is perfection,
Pure and innocent as the day she was born, and cradled in joy by her mother.
Everyone who came by to see her exclaimed and admired her—
All the fathers and mothers, the neighbors and friends, blessed and praised her:
"Has anyone ever seen anything like this—
dawn-fresh, moon-lovely, sun-radiant,
ravishing as the night sky with its galaxies of stars?"
One day I went strolling through the orchard,
looking for signs of spring, Looking for buds about to burst into flower,
anticipating readiness, ripeness. Before I knew it my heart was raptured,
carried away by lofty thoughts!
Dance, dance, dear Shulammite, Angel-Princess!
Dance, and we'll feast our eyes on your grace!
Everyone wants to see the Shulammite dance her victory dances of love and peace.

Bug Be Gone
I am so bummed. Tonight is first Wednesday and the dedication at church and we don't get to go cuz we have the flu or something.
Not only that I left Royal Identity early last night because of not feeling well. I am glad I did though cuz I came home and barfed. Disappointed cuz I did not get to hear the message on the Father's love. Concerned that I won't make it to Bible study Friday night.
Last night was a nightmare. I rarely get sick but somehow I caught this one and not only me but this vicious bug decided to make it's way to the whole family. It started a couple days ago but last night was really bad.
I'm telling you, I think the enemy is trying to stop us from going to church.
Thankfully it seems to be a 24 hour bug so we should be in church this weekend.

Song of the Thunderstorms
I never knew this was in the bible. What a beautiful passage of how powerful and mighty the Lord really is. I tend to forget this by humanizing Him and bringing Him to my level. My way of thinking and doing things. His Word is so powerful. All I have to do is believe it!
Psalm 29
Give unto the Lord, O you mighty ones,
Give unto the Lord glory and strength.
Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name;
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
The God of glory thunders;
The Lord is over many waters.
The voice of the Lord is powerful;
The voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars,
Yes, the Lord splinters the cedars of Lebanon.
He makes them also skip like calf,
Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild ox.
The voice of the Lord divides the flames of fire.
The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
The Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth,
And strips the forests bare;
And in His temple everyone says, "Glory!"
The Lord sat enthroned at the Flood,
And the Lord sits as King forever.
The Lord will give strength to His people;
The Lord will bless His people with peace.
Psalm 29

On Guard & In Position
Something is on the horizon, I feel it. God is building a faith in me like never before. I sense war in my spirit and I need to be on guard and in position. I always need to be on guard and in position but sometimes the H.S shows me exactly when somethings going on in the spirit.
Being On Guard - Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life.
Being In position - Being still before the Lord. Listening for His still small voice.
Positioning myself in prayer, in worship, and in the Word.
Positioning myself around other believers for where two or more are gathered there He is in the midst of thee.
Positioning myself to where He is calling me to be and staying on task to what it is He is calling me to do.
2 Cronicles 20:17 ~ You shall not need to fight in this battle; take your positions, stand still, and see the deliverance of the Lord...

Princess Warrior Decree
2 Samuel 22:30-41
With your help I can advance against a troop
with my God I can scale a wall.
As for God, his way is perfect;
the word of the LORD is flawless.
He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him.
For who is God besides the LORD?
And who is the Rock except our God?
It is God who arms me with strength
and makes my way perfect.
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
He enables me to stand on the heights.
He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
You give me your shield of victory;
You stoop down to make me great.
You broaden the path beneath me,
so that my ankles do not turn.
I pursued my enemies and crushed them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
I crushed them completely, and they could not rise;
they fell beneath my feet.
You armed me with strength for battle;
you made my adversaries bow at my feet.
You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
and I destroyed my foes.
With your help I can advance against a troop
with my God I can scale a wall.
As for God, his way is perfect;
the word of the LORD is flawless.
He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him.
For who is God besides the LORD?
And who is the Rock except our God?
It is God who arms me with strength
and makes my way perfect.
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
He enables me to stand on the heights.
He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
You give me your shield of victory;
You stoop down to make me great.
You broaden the path beneath me,
so that my ankles do not turn.
I pursued my enemies and crushed them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
I crushed them completely, and they could not rise;
they fell beneath my feet.
You armed me with strength for battle;
you made my adversaries bow at my feet.
You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
and I destroyed my foes.
Prayer
Lord, I think I'm getting sick again. Nevertheless, I am determined to have an awesome day with you. To sit at your feet and behold your beauty. This exchange you have been talking to me about. I'm holding back. I am not ready to give up some things. But oh how you have brought me so far. How you have brought Joe so far too is just so unbelievable. We're going to church on Saturday. It's been about 2 weeks and I hate when that happens cuz then it's so hard for me to walk through those doors because of my insecurities. You know, I just realized something. I don't think the the enemy wants me at the church. What if my insecurity issues is all a delusion.
I better be on guard to the enemy stopping me from going. Open my eyes to his traps Lord to the ones that are hidden. So that I might trample him under my feet with all the power and authority that I have in You. Give me supernatural love and grace to extend to my husband and children today. Cover me in the armor of God.
Oh,ya, and please tell the enemy IT"S ON!!
