More Than One Way To Starve a Woman

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;

SDFC Thank You!

On this cloudy day, where the sky is grey what a blessing for those who have lost their home in the May 15 th (fifteenth) fires. I awoke thinking of many topics to write about something I haven't done in a long time. Most of the time I like keeping my thoughts to myself. Somehow, the shallow topics I write about are the things that keep me sane. Events, weddings, meetings planning is my thing. I do love the word of God, like many after their children prove faith, finding a church as a family became difficult. It isn't the same. You each have different needs.

I use to be the one in the family that would find a church for our family to attend. The goal to stay together was the focus, rather than the mission of the church. It was a deep inner need for this mom to be just that the mom of my children. I no longer had the "call" to serve. I did have the call to attend and worship.

• John 4:22 (NKJV)

  You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.

• • John 4:24 (NKJV)

    God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

  • • John 4:20 (NKJV)

      Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”
    • The fourth book  "New Testament" I was taught to apply them for practical living. It is the fourth book of the gospels. Mark, Matthew, Luke, John. It is interesting how every time I have tried to study this book, life happens. I have through CBS (Community Bible Study) or BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) studied every book in the bible. This last time my Aunt died. It was a sorrow that left me devastated. How I loved this aunt her name like mine, Maria. No, I wasn't named after her I was named after my father's mother. One might ask why she was so important to me. Because of her and my dad's family I graduated from college, learned to draw and thought of becoming an attorney. In my second or third year of college I changed to wanting to become a teacher. She is also the aunt that taught me how to draw, paint, and write poetry. She believed women could live a life without being depend on a mom, dad or man. Woman should have their own voice and express it. Now how does this lead to starvation? 
    • starve

      Do you consider the word of "God" food?  Do you consider the word of "God" truth? Even if you look at it as a history book it is true.  Nonetheless, would you blame it for the starvation in the world? 

    • Proverbs 6:30 (NKJV)

      People do not despise a thief If he steals to satisfy himself when he is starving.
    • There is physical starvation, emotional starvation, loss of home starvation, loss of employment starvation,loss of clothing, loss of income starvation and the literal loss of healthy food to eat starvation.  Can a person starve because their home was burned by fire? Can a person Starve because they were forced to move someplace they didn't want to. What a thought. Look at all the homeless people we have in San Diego. How many of those will be displaced North County residence who had no place or no one to help them?

In a Moment of Panic or is it A Cry for Help?

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;

I awoke this morning to different noises. Rooster crowing, dogs barking, birds tweeting and neighbors warming up their cars, trucks for the long morning commute to work. It is country here. I am so not here, yet I am here. Do you understand? I am physically here, however my thought are on the home I lost. My life! My mom can't relate, she has never experienced this type of devastation. Her husband, was an immediate 911 call. To old and frie. What am I doing?

Have you ever felt like a child. Not in the normal way, or adult way, as the child that was hurt and needed you mom? That's a feeling that is indescribable as an adult woman. The pain so intense it would make even the strongest of adults cry for their mom. The pain described best by Job 30:16-23. No, I am not Jesus (I know Him) or Job (I am not Job, I have read about him and I once was a Job's Daughter even became Honored Queen), I am a woman from my birth, however I can relate to this type of pain. A pain so intense You just pick up the belongings you have and run to the what you think is safety. It is safety?

Great lead in for a blog don't you think. Intense! How else can one describe the pain one feels when they have to leave everything behind and move in with a mom that is re-married and has a life with her husband and their own way of being. It is a mom who is no longer the mom of your youth, yet you need the mom of your youth to talk to, to share your life with and what just happen.  It is a time when you both don't understand each other. Communication is no longer there in the same way. She can't relate to your experience and you can't relate to hers. She is now older than what you thought and her husband is even older. Instead of allowing us time, he tries to help (by trying to fix things.) There are some things that can't be fixed.
                                                                                                                                      Broken Marriages
                                                                                                                                Broken Hearts
                                                                                                                        Broken Homes
                                                                                                                 Destroyed Lives
                                                                                                        Employment Lost
                                                                                                 Financial Loss
                                                                                          Hurt Children
                                                                                     Burden Lives
                                                                                 Stolen Lives
 I ask myself...
      Would it have been easier if I would of just asked a neighbor for help?
             Would it have been better if I would have gone to a hotel?
                     Would it have been better if I would have asked my local church if I could sleep in their                                       building, so I could have shelter?
                          Would it have been easier if I would have would it have been better if I would have gone to                                my young man's dorm room and asked if I could sleep there?
                              Would it have been better if I would have gone to my ex-husband's home and humbled                                      myself again and asked to sleep there?
                                 Would it have been better if I would have run to the Doctors and gotten medication for                                     the pain?
                             
What is the right decision when that pain is greater than your ability to cope? That is something that even the bible doesn't talk about. Job lost everything. Job 14:22 "But his flesh will be in pain over it, And his soul will mourn over it." I mourn! I mourn! I SHOUT! Thank You!  

"If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving,unleavened cakes mixed with oil, unleavened wafers anointed with oil, or cakes of blended flour mixed with oil. " Lev 7:12   Is this communion? Does he take even my right to have communion? Fellowship?What does the Lord want, that he doesn't already have? That he hasn't already done? Taken?

I like you am trying to figure it all out. In the wink of an eye my life changed. "Let them not rejoice over me who are wrongfully my enemies: Nor let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause." Psalm 35:19

What will I do today that will make a difference? In my life? In the life of another? Did you hear my cry?

A Way of Escape...Do I need one from the past Fires

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;

How many San Diegans are feeling the pressures today of the past. The past that will be in their lives for sometime until they can recover from it. Will the past come back to haunt them in the future? If so, why? Can the past hold you trapped without a future?

I have thought about many things, the thing that I have thought of most is how we get trapped in the past in the first place? Loving water my entire life, I love San Diego. Being able to walk along the coast and give thanks to the God of bigness that lives on the horizon. It doesn't matter where you look there is a horizon and you can't really see the edge of what is about to come your way. Somehow, that has always comfort my soul in knowing that no matter what happens in life, God will remain constant and bigger than my human body allows me to be.  At 5'5" approximately between 120 lbs and 140 lbs. when I look out at the ocean I see what I know to be true. I am so much smaller than the horizon. I enjoy this thought. Why?  It gives me a sense of wonder, excitement and the reality that whatever happens in my life it is small compared to the horizon. No I am not talking about the church. I am talking about perceptive. God's perspective. A clear perspective on my life. What I have to do to be right with my God, Jesus and how I was designed to life my life. Not my mom's life, or my sisters, or her children's or her husband life, or any of my families life.  Not even my ex-husband's life. I am thankful. That my ex-husband and I are friends and we help each other whenever possible, that both our children understand and help us whenever possible. Both of them know the truth and help us stay as a family. They are even looking for my new place to live while I am helping mom. Maybe she's helping me? Last night we had to call 911 her husband fell down and we couldn't pick him up. Shout! Thank you! He is okay. Either way I will eventually have God's perspective eventually again. That's God's perspective. Thats SHOUT! Thank You!

It has to do with the life God gave me. How to take care of myself. My dad taught me what was right from wrong for the goals I have have before me. It is a way of escape from the everyday burdens. It is the way I stay! Maybe it is even a form of Judges 3:26. What it is to you is not what it is to me. It is a door, an opening a passage, into self perspective. At a time when I am in Riverside County, while I rebuild my loss of home in Encinitas, while taking care of my aging mom and her husband. It is the one thing I miss the most.

With the hurts from the fires many misplaced from their homes. You might be staying in someones house. You might be feeling uncomfortable. Maybe they won't want you to leave the bedroom after a while of staying there. There annoyed you there, yet you need finances to move and you haven't saved that up.  I know how you feel. I understand how much anger,
                                                    frustration,
                                                                    sadness,
                                                      brokenness,
                                                                     sorrow,                                                                                                                                      bitterness.    

  I thought I would share with you how I let go. All of those things stop the lessons to be learned, the joy to be gain in having perspective and a just measure.  Deut 24:15  I jog and/or walk my 3 miles. It gets all the negative feelings out.

Get this there is no easy fix to the fires and the devastation it left behind, other than to trust yourself and do one thing at a time. For today all I can do is......  One thing at a time.  In sharing this I hope you find peace. Peace to heal from the things that happened
that you had no control over. Love to talk you through it. Prayer to help you believe that God really is a Good God.

Fire, Water, Salt

Hi there, Diamond Glamour Girls;

For most of my life I have been consistent in one thing and one thing only. Praying! I do not take credit for this, I give credit to my earthly dad who taught me the importance of prayer in life! To my heavenly Father who knows that I am only human and lack the ability to fend for myself without Him.

I like you have lost. I have lost my home, had to move in with my mom. Who would have thought at this age I would have such a great loss. No one including my dad. It is times like this I miss talking with him the most. His counsel over my life was always one of wisdom.  Don't misunderstand he had his faults, his sin, he was an alcoholic at times in his life. This made him human not perfect. (Rom 6:19) A sinner saved by grace. Why do I like to think of him this way? Why do I miss him the most at these times, he was the one I shared my life with. He had a family of daughters. The hardest gift given to a man by God. He would listen and not say a word. Get up from his seat, walk to his bedroom pick up the bible that sat on his dresser and find the scripture to give me. I would then go into my room and look up the verses. It was always the best when we would pick up the bible together and minister to one another. We would then discuss what the scripture meant. He loved the Psalms and Proverbs. It was always with him that I solved the biggest of life problems. He would always tell me there is an answer for everything in the bible. A way that is righteous to men. I learn the word man in biblical terms meant men and woman. I didn't have a sexist or raciest father. Although he taught me what they both meant. My youth was in the 60's where we (my family and I got to see a lot of violence). Ps. 11:5

Why did these things happen to me? Too you? We don't always know why. We can ask all the hard questions we want, not always getting an answer. Force can overtake even the most prayerful person. Pro 30:33 If fire force, it is a force that can not be fought by the normal human hands. It takes water! There are many verses that talk about the importance of water. For the body, for the soul, for health, for life.  Water puts out fire. Thank God we have a wonderful fire department that labors for God. He provides many things, including the people that would choose that employment. The news described the fires as a heavenly fire can't. Scripture explains this too.

 Some people look to their preachers for answers. Others to prayerful people. Yet, others think the answer is to find one prayerful person and burden them with the burdens of all His people to teach them what prayerful person should be like. Let me tell you this, there is nothing biblical about this. It is clearly stated that each person should pray for their own life. I ask you to pray, pray for others, however pray for yourself as well. It is with personal prayer that we accomplish the most for your own life. That is what this blog is about. You are the salt of the earth. You are the good that comes and heals those in your life. You are responsible, your are capable, able and you are the one that all this happened to. Pick yourself up, dust off all that is not yours. That you didn't choose, that you didn't create, that you are not responsible for, dig in begin the clean-up process. I to am doing that in my own life. Cleaning up the mess others though was mine.

Prayerfully, together maybe we will succeed in our own lives.

My Prayer list:
1. Health, Home, Friends, Family all safe SHOUT! Thank You!
2. Food, Water, Clothing
3. Employment to pay for the clean up mess and / or Understanding employers who knows I need time to get my life in order.
4. Time to heal all that hurts within. Love that heals, supports and helps.

All that our human body needs. I close with a verse that is important to me, maybe it will speak to your heart. Mark 9:48

God Bless!
