Perspective

Perspective



In my hometown there was a debate and apparently an answer about a forty foot cross that will be decidedly removed.

A group decided that this was a Christian symbol that it was offensive to them as Atheist.

Needless to say I was pissed.  Then, well then it hit me.  This landmark has been in my hometown for decades.  The large cross had been there for so many years, that I the Christian honestly considered it a landmark.  Literally when giving people directions it was normal for the locals to tell others driving in that area, you will see a big cross go halfway around and the club (yes the club is on the right)

What hit me is that Atheist notice our symbols and fret them more then we honor them.  Two, do people really believe the blessings is in the symbol.  The key to this entire wonderful journey is that the tomb was empty and the cross was bear.

I am YOU

I’ve missed talking to you this way…Thank you for always being right there when I return



So the new thing I have is I actually grumble and buck at God.  Yep I’m not brave just observant that God has nudged me and I have nudged back and said well if You xYZ then I will do ABC.
My expectation my deep lie that I tell myself is that He isn’t listening to little old me.  Oh yes I believe in God, but the lie I believe many of us and at least I have told myself is that He is way too big great and wonderful to speak with little old sinning me.
He never fails me though.  He always finds ways to remind me that.
He counted each hair on my head…
His plans for me, specifically are for good
That He gave his son, for me Nene, Senetra specifically
A lot of his promises that start with “I Will” I’ve noticed say you.  Not everybody, not all of Y’all it says you.  You is a word that touches my soul because it means the eyes that I am looking into, the ear I am speaking in to, the heart that I am mending.
God is I AM
I am You 

Do you know how we get to develop a relationship is when we recognize that each of us is the individual you.

I’m back Father be with me – Thank you for being with me.
