people are a mess. people are hard to deal with.

people are...everything i love. i could live without many things in my life, i don't think i could ever live without people though. the more i learn about the GOD i serve the more i realize that i am falling in love with what HE loves. GOD LOVES PEOPLE. sometimes this is so hard to see because, well we are people. we are "in it" as they say. if you are looking at a monet painting too closely all you are able to see is the strokes of the brush. you cannot fathom how a something that seems so simple can be elegant and even beautiful!

so it is with us. we are so closely viewing the realities of this chaotic world that we get bogged down with the tiny almost insignificant "mountains and valleys" of paint we are having to search through, deal with and understand. these things are hard for us. these things are something we have to deal with daily. these things test us and confuse us. the truth we must see is that this life has a bigger theme. this season has a point! there is a reason you are in a brown time in your life! i am praying that my generation will be the one who is able to have the veil lifted from their eyes. i am staunchly warring for them that they will see the painting as it is intended. i am hoping that they will see what this life is TRULY about. i am praying that the loneliness and desperation will cease. i am praying that the truth will be revealed. there is something happening today! i am praying for you!

And the LORD came and stood, calling as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant hears." Then the LORD said to Samuel, "Behold, I am about to do a thing in Israel at which the two ears of everyone who hears it will tingle. On that day I will fulfill against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. 1 samuel 3:10-12 26

"'Go to this people, and say, You will indeed hear but never understand,
and you will indeed see but never perceive.
For this people’s heart has grown dull,
and with their ears they can barely hear,
and their eyes they have closed;
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and understand with their heart
and turn, and I would heal them.'

Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen." acts 28:26-28
