ChildrenI am utterly amazed and inspired by children. Somehow God has always used them in my life in the most significant of ways. Today at church I watched three girls, (sisters) the eldest 12, 10 and 9 take communion as well as made a choice to accept Christ into their hearts. It was incredible because they were not probed or pushed. It was a choice all on their own. I have seen them there for years but this was the first time they came up. I studied them and some of the other children and saw such innocence and realized the huge responsibility we have as adults and how much improvement we need on owning that responsibility. Children are honest they speak the truth: one little girl whom I adore recently put a man I was in love with on blast. She asked me if I was his girlfriend still and when I said no, I used to be she said Oh you look like his girlfriend with the ponytail I was stunned and hurt all at once but dare not show this baby. then she hugged me and said I like you though, are you gonna cry I said no my love she said you look sad now..you miss uncle ? I simply said yes my love God used the innocence of a wide eyed child who had no idea what she was saying to reveal truth to me. I never spoke of it due to humiliation. Well, cept here because this is my safe haven.Recently I had the privilege to do a workshop with kids at a high school and words could not express how moved I was. I could see with many of these students they hadnt been completely jaded, there was still a bit of child still in them (though they looked grown) it was wonderful to feel that not only was I having an opportunity to teach them about the craft I hold so dear but also that within that there was opportunity to empower and enrich them as young men and women. Its amazing how much they are searching and yearning for guidance and what a huge difference that can bring to their young lives. I ride the subway sometimes and Im hurt by what I hear at times, the vulgarity, the innocence stripped from them too early, hardened hearts, and worn spirits. Children are gifts from God they become our future. They are to be cherished and uplifted, empowered and given an opportunity to be young..comics, video games, books, giggling, enjoying simplicity.I am so looking forward to my next time with the kids at this school so that I may help to preserve and cultivate one of Gods greatest.If children are lost..it is our fault.Posted by The Woman at 10:43 PM az©2010
TraicionadoPerdona nuestras ofensas como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos han ofendido.Enviar esta alma iluminada por las llamas en el mar para convertirse en cenizas relucientes en la brisa de la mañana.Cuando las bravatas de traición y falsa lealtad pisotear la mansedumbre.Lo bonito de convertirse en pura sal y volar lejos de todo.El dolor de la verdad que dolores como vida quemaron vivos.Daño crea un corazón endurecido y marcha atrás.La última pieza, de la sagrada compartir, roto y el alma tiene nada másPero para volar lejos.Y dejar que el silencio se transmite lavar la herida de curación.Perdón, obstaculiza la carne y los contadores del deseo que vuelva a pagar.No hay nada que hacer, pero reconocer ese desequilibrio yugos crear destrucción.En lugar de conducir por la necesidad de reivindicación.Otros llegar a alimentarse con la comida que ella puede esclavizar a preparar.Sí, él nunca visto ni conocía.Sacrificio de perder lo que pudo encontrar él. Le habría dado todos sólo para que él pudiera volar.Error tener demasiado de la incondicional en movimiento.Eriales de la esperanza de una verdadera amistad ligada a un embrión aún no ha nacido enterrado en un recuadro negro atadoCon a-utilizado cintas y mezcladas con lirios estampadas con decepción.No sabía no-me-olvides no entendía y dejara a un lado el buqueQue celebrará el olas de estrellarse contra su piel cuando las corrientes eran altas,Y otros abandonados.Pero se les olvida lo hizo y se escondió detrás de agradable, cortesía de tratar y equilibrio.Monetaria, significaban nada, ella no puede ser compradoEs difícil saber cuánto puede perdonar. …Hasta que su éxito con la reciente e inolvidable soplar…Y de las represalias no encuentra usted pero la oración y la entrega.La fuerza del guerrero al soltar las lágrimas, no tiene nada que esperar yDiciendo adiós con la bendición de aquel que rompió con deslealtad.Dios os bendiga a vosotros y paz…
