It's MONDAY ... from ugh to Exuberant JOY!

It’s MONDAY!!!

I must admit … I wasn’t quite as excited about today when I first awoke.  However, in my seeking and planning of the day my hope and excitement of the day has burst forth.  Yet another blessed delight in my life. 

As I sat to focus on the steps of my day and the needs of others asking for my assistance, I turned to whom I seek my guidance.  In the days of so many seeking my services, my eyes rest upon our house and its state of neatness … it reflects that it has not taken priority over the calls, sessions and life events.  My heart constricts seeking affirmation that my husband and sons, my #1 mission field, are not reflecting the same condition as our house.  Since I was a little girl I remember earnestly praying for my husband and children asking God not to come again until I got to know and love them well.  I used to laughingly say, “He honored my requests and my prayers held off the second coming.  Now I have my husband and sons, so you’d better be ready or putting your own pleas to the Father as my prayer had been answered.”   Today, as I contemplate and seek direction, I ponder do I “know and love them well”?  My mother’s heart yearns to know and hear a resounding YES.  The reality check of my flesh replies, “You can always do better.”  Talk about constricting my heart and stopping my breathing.  However, my perspective of looking forward frees my heart and releases my breath as once you experience doing something you are then able to seek new ways of doing it even better.  It’s not a matter of “failing” it’s a matter of reaching a “new level”. 

I know scripture says that as I do His what He asks, He will cover my family.  My faith is every growing and this wife and mom’s heart knows this but sometimes there’s a still small voice that is contrary to the promises I stand on and it must be bound and squished.  In my seeking affirmation for my steps Luke 7:27 and Matt 7:7-8 are brought to my awareness today.  So, in my curious state I look up the references and my heart overflows with the small ways the affirmation of obedient steps I take are shown. 

Matthew 7:7-8 (AMPC)

Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you.

For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened.

These Words sooth my heart and prompt me to continually Ask, Seek and Receive (It’s not begging its sowing seeds, standing declaring and decreeing the scriptures, and purposefully reaping my harvest!)  especially on behalf of myself and my family, my #1 mission field.  I know the passion that burns within me and I trust that the Source that created me with that passion knows my heart and loves my family that I was gifted even more than I do … which is mind boggling as I know the intensity of my love for my husband and sons. 

I give thanksgiving praise for the affirmation and eagerly look up Luke 7:27 to see what was written for just this moment in my life and I find this …

Luke 7:27 (AMP)

This is the one of whom it is written [by the prophet Malachi], ‘Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You, Who will prepare Your way before You.’

Oh Yeah!  Talk about major WIN!  Talk about affirmation.  As long as I am seeking His guidance, I will have VICTORY … even if I stumble and my actions choose less than His best for me.  He loves me so much.  He guarantees my victorious success despite myself because He sends His Messenger to prepare the way for me.  I must take the first step for my life to open for Him to do what He does so creatively well.  It’s not about meeting other people’s expectations or even my own expectations … its all about meeting His expectations which may not be easy, but they are always simple and always start with just one step where He always meets us and carries us from there. 

So, it is with a renewed and energized confidence that I now look to this Monday with exhilarated hope (exceeding expectation) of what blessed Joy this day is going to bring to myself, those I encounter and the One who created me to be His Joy.  I already know the day is filled with greatness and I get to be a part of it because I’m choosing to take the first step of doing.  Look out World … here I come, love, laughter, hugs and ALL!

What step are you being asked to take this grand day?  Are you dreading or expecting?  Boldly stepping or frozen in place?  

Thank you for the investment of your time. 

May you hear and receive what is yours to hear from the sharing of a portion of my insights. 

Be blessed in the Name of the Lord, Yahweh, Jehovah-Jireh.

DOING - Preparation for the known and unknown

Father God, Yahweh, Jehovah-Jireh,

I give thanks and praise to you for all you are doing in and through me.  My heart is filled with peace, joy and anticipation for what you have for me today.  With the authority, you have given to me, I speak to my eyes to be open to see, my ears that they may hear, my heart that it may receive and my mind to understand the insight you have for me today.  Thank you for your loving faithfulness.  In Yahweh, Jehovah-Jireh’s name, I pray.  Amen.

Today, I’m led to Luke 23:56:

⁵⁶ Then they returned and prepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the commandment.  (NKJV)

Just before this verse, Jesus had just been crucified on the cross.  The darkness had covered all the earth from about the sixth hour until the ninth hour.  Then the sun was darkened and the vein of the temple was torn in two.  Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit’”.  He then drew His last breath.  This was so powerful that the centurion who saw what had happened, he glorified God by saying, “Certainly this was a righteous Man”.  The whole crowd who had come to watch, seeing what had been done, beat their breasts and returned.  All His acquaintances and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching. 

Can you feel the power and the impact?  How many times have we watched something happen not fully understanding but feel the power and effect as we depart?  Have you ever been an observer of something dramatic happening to someone you knew – closely or remotely, had a relationship with, loved? 

Joseph, a council member, described as a good and just man, from Arimathea (a city of the Jews) who was waiting for the kingdom of God.  He was not in agreement with the decision and deed that had just been done.  He responded by going to Pilate and asking for the body of Jesus.  He took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was carved out of the rock.  He placed Jesus’ body in a tomb that no one had used before.  He did this promptly as his time for Doing was ending with the Sabbath approaching. 

The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed His body.  They observed the tomb.  They observed how Jesus’ body was laid.  Then they returned home to prepare spices and fragrant oils to bring back to the tomb on the first day of the week after Sabbath.  They had to respond promptly to be able to return home and DO the work as well as prepare the normal daily needs for the Sabbath before it arrived. 

Joseph and these women DID these things after watching such a dramatic deed.  Even if they did not know Jesus personally, it impacted their lives and drove them to action.  They chose not to be a part of the crowd that watched, beat their chest and then returned to where they came from.  Joseph from Arimathea and these women from Galilee chose to DO something.  They chose to come along side and give honor to this man that did miracles they did not understand.  They gave of their time, finances, possible social stigma and energy to remove him from the shame of death and hanging on the cross.  Their actions show they didn’t do it half-heartedly or begrudgingly.  Joseph got a tomb that had never been used before for this man, who in his eyes had been done wrong.  The women didn’t rush home to prepare the burial basics and Sabbath needs knowing all work stopped at sundown.  No, they took the time to go see the tomb and how Jesus’ body was laid out so they could plan and prepare properly.  How they could give their best.  They did not fully comprehend what part their actions were playing in the overall situation; however, they still acted.

How many times in our lives are we used in preparing someone for what is to come?  Do we fully understand or comprehend what we are doing?  How we are being used?  How many times in hindsight, do we regret not having taken the time to do it properly, better?  To have assessed, planned and prepared postured with a more obedient, willing attitude?  Or is your hindsight filled with thanksgiving and joy that you put aside your fleshly desires and gave your best even with not knowing what part your actions would have? 

Everything we do has an impact in some way.  It always impacts our own lives as well as others, even those you don’t see or know.  We reap what we sow.  If we are not sowing anything then we have nothing to reap.  If we have nothing to reap then we have nothing to give to help others.  If we have nothing to reap or give then we have anything to sow for ourselves for us to have a continual harvest of reaping and sowing.  If you plant no seeds, then you get nothing back from your time of walking the fields to be able to plant in the future for self or give to help others.  You then shrivel up and cease to exist out of lack.  Lack that is brought on by your own choices and actions.  That also applies to those of us that sow seeds but never go out and harvest them.  A farmer doesn’t sow seeds and walk away.  He watches over, cares for and then reaps the harvest when it is time.  Do you know what you are sowing?  Are you reaping what you sow?

In Joseph from Arimathea and the women from Galilee that followed Jesus’ preparation, they themselves were blessed and ministered too.  They walked with purpose and fulfillment for DOING.  The women were physically and emotionally blessed by the essence of the spices and fragrant oils they were preparing for the burial.  Joseph gained stature and posture from providing a resting place for this man called Jesus whom he believed had been wronged.  In their obedience, they were blessed and lifted to a higher level, emotionally, physically, spiritually, mentally.  As they were doing and preparing, God was feeding them through their DOING using the things He had designed for us to use as tools.  I know every time I get to minister to those He brings to me with praying and anointing with oils, I always get blessed and strengthened, even though my purpose and action is not for self but for the leader He has brought to me to be His hands on.  I am constantly humbled by how He uses the essential oils to take the individuals into their own special place that is filled with the essence that they need to feed their spirit within and themselves to be able to step out and up into a new level of life with Him.  The freedom it brings.  The weights lifted off.  The hope.  The Joy.  This from DOING for others, as Holy Spirit leads, using the tools that He has given for His ministry. 

So … what are you purposefully DOING in preparation?

Are you DOING it with an attitude of praise and thanksgiving?

Are you DOING your best and letting God do the rest?

For those that would like to experience essential oils and especially those that want more with the Holy Spirit leading the experience, myself and/or one of our Be Healthy His Way team would be honored to come along side and support you on your journey.   You can achieve physical, spiritual, mental and emotional release whether you are a Believer or not … however the synergy effects of salvation, scripture and prayer bring a level of freedom living of its own accord high above all else. 

It is our desire for you to KNOW God, to share His Word with you but also to share our lives with you in love.  We love you where you are and are honored to support you on your journey to get to where you want to be. 

Thank you for the investment of your time.
