We Love Him, because He first loved us ~ 1John 4:19 KJV
This is how much God loved the world: He gave His only begotten Son...... John 3:16 (the message)
God's love is a force chasing after us, protecting us, warning us, sending out wisdom to anyone that will open up to it. What a driving force is the love of God! It moves mountain, with even a mustard seed size snippet. It heals our soul in order that our spirit may continue to travel out our days in community with all He is doing. It chases us down to lavish itself upon us in mighty ways.......just because it IS.
Do you have a passion burring so fiercely within you, that to hold it in would disintegrate your very existence????
Passion is a propellant which without a vehicle cannot be driven.
We know this to be true, and our bodies are simply the vehicle by which we maneuver throughout the roadway of the physical realm. We will not revisit all our past topic on this matter - but if you cannot remember them or find them in the archives post a comment and I will direct you.
Let's ponder a few other points about our general beliefs: We know that God exists - He is holy, lovely, pure and just. We believe He abhors what is evil and demands that the things within His presence be sanctified. We also think of God as loving, forgiving, a giver of good gifts and that He blesses us in life.
But we have to integrate the qualities of God in order to not visualize Him as mere man - having good days, bad days and negative responses based on our manipulation or purposes.
Without Christ in this equation we cannot unify the True image of God. And left in the hands of the one we created there will always be a fracture, a flaw, an area where this god will fail to produce what we have imagined they are capable of. As we come to know Christ, we see God through His character, His experience, His faith n God's faithfulness; because the Holy Spirit will show us the depths of God, the widths of His love, the breadth of what Christ was willing to believe and do in order to show the heights which God alone can reach ~
So do not put your faith in the shallow ways of this fractured world; which God sent Christ to save. Be FOR the Kingdom which is always at hand ~willing your soul to believe and travel the higher roads which ARE really in our midst - you just have to passionately seek them.
As for the answer to which came first the chicken or the egg...neither. What came first was Gods passionate love seeking to HAVE chickens in our midst; And so it IS!
For the Love of God,
within Christ and He within us,
Kisses,
Candace

See Again
Good Morning Daddy,
It is the last day of 2011 – Thank you for another glorious, rich, prosperous year. You have such great plans for your family. You love us with such incredible might and yet you are so gentle and kind.
I think I will post SEE again, just as a witness to what I know to be real~ You ARE real – you tell us about your soul and your spirit. We are made in your likeness – to reflect your image in all we do. We are unique in appearance even qualities or more appropriately abilities; however your heights, depths, widths are reached because your spirit enables our soul by uniting all our capabilities to synergistically achieve your magnificent scope of precision in all ways.
Oh Father, help us in a mighty way to not give up, but give in…….to you ~ Be built upon you ~ Be sustained within you ~ Be able through you ~ Be for your cause and not in any way allow the forces of our self to stand against the flow of your Love for all creation.
For the name sake and glory of our redeemer Lord Jesus the Christ and for each one of us comprising His body. May we remember these things and cast the lesser memories away in order that as you flow throughout all, sin is bound for eternity.
Remember us – your children, as cherished, holy, lovely and pure because you are holy, lovely and pure. May the power, of victory in Christ, transform us by the renewing of our mind to walk upon your heavenly highway toward what lies ahead. Because you first loved us, may we love you just the same by loving whom you love and sharing what you gave.
Selah
Kisses ~ C

Sometimes you must Be the beauty in chaos!
Making His Mark With Beauty
KB, Inc’s world-wide motto is alive
Hip, Hip Hooray! Now our organization is seeing beauty emerge all around the world. When we changed our "slogan" from Loving Who You Were Divinely Created To BE to Reaching Through Chaos, Seeing True Beauty Emerge we did not quiet understand why - because we knew the first one was correct. However, we had to believe in what God saw beneath the chaos in order to find the faith which enabled our perseverance to help others not only see what we saw, but believe in it.
As we began telling women and children that they were desired, loved and had a reason to not be afraid, we saw them embrace the " idea" of hope. But as we stuck by them~ encouraging them to believe that even as God forsaken as life can feel at times, there are always lovely moments too; we noticed they were actually reaching out to grab onto that hope and tucking it away to protect it. But the day we understood with His understanding was when we saw His "beauty mark". It was the day that all the pieces collided to perfectly mesh. For the first time I know I saw the elusive Kaleidoscope Butterfly. Although it was one moment it was also many and there will be many more. Because as we are walking and relating to these lovely individuals God is revealing precious details which are transforming their minds to see that they, themselves, need to BE BEAUTY in this world of chaos.
We are witness to the fact that there is not a more beautiful sight than His hand reaching through their chaos to share in very real ways.
Our work is simple but true:
We believe True Beauty is as a seed planted within you, tenderly tucked into a deep, dark space. Alone with such dreams of grandeur, restlessly squirming, simply dying to be released! It truly believes there is something much larger and unique it is to be. It feels it could bestow beauty and goodness upon an unaesthetic world. “Just as the butterfly is always within the caterpillar – so too your beauty is fighting to take flight and ride the breeze. You are a kaleidoscope butterfly, a vision foreseen in the mind of the Great Divine. He delights in what you have to offer. He created you to rise above and be seen. So flutter your jagged, shattered pieces in His sunlight. His hand merges all our shapes in His time. To Him we are not missing or broken we are His Delight and perfect in His sight.
We make our request known and know it is His will:
Do not look with your eyes to perceive reality. Do not allow this world to diminish what He sees. Push through the weight trying to hold and bury you. Stand tall in His continence, mercy and grace. Reach up and out with your arms wide. Turn your face to be set on the sun. Allow your bud to blossom. Be open for all to see and embrace. Release the joy in your heart for their pleasure. Allow it to pour out, free. Keep it flowing till the scent of it rises - as a fragrant offering of what you believe all heaven can now see.
So allow us to encourage you "BE the Beauty in chaos no one can stop you – honest!"
With the Love of our Christ,
Kisses,
Candace

Filled By His Tears
Father, I am broken from all this world has to offer
Make me whole even here in this space
The love of this place no longer pleasing
All I long for is held in your tender embrace
My heart longing to be in your presence
My eyes seeking for you in all ways near and far
My hand yearning to touch you if only for one single second
For I would cherish that moment till this life surely ends
Oh fill me in my deepest love losses
So that there is no dry arid space they may continue to haunt
Let my memories be filled with only your goodness
Bind me in the promise of your return
Barren and abandoned is not my heritage....
Because you never left me here alone
You are simply away in preparation,
Of our home, which I eagerly await
You have given me daily provision
You have ordered the care that I need
I am following your direct instructions
Ensuring where you have gone, there too, I will be
Thank you for this day of laughter
Thank you for this day full of life
Thank you for Loving me with such great abandon
Thank you for calling me your wife
Let me be pleasing in your presence
Increase me to care for those in need
Allow me the grace to Love as you Love
So that they see you, as they peer through me
Be it done unto me as you will it
For I know you will allow me no harm
You are the creator of all good things
Protecting my very life with your righteous strong arm
Lift me with your prayers of intercession
For in this life I cannot make it on my own
Be one with me and our Father
As you have wished, I request it to be done
Within the holiest of Holies, I beg your forgiveness
For any way I brought your reputation harm
Repair your image - all stains forgotten
Lift me up as the bride you deserve
I ask that they too be forgiven
For it is only in unity we can be released
I ask for your kingdom to overwhelm us
As the angels usher in to assist
Prepare us to rejoice as you foresaw it
Teach us your words harmonizing the tune in full
Bring all your power into our abilities
For only then may we celebrate your spectacular reign
We shall not fear your perfect presence
We shall shine bright as we stand in the winds of your change
To light up your heavenly runway
Praising your glorious entry as our King
Clamouring with joy to embrace you
Bearing our most precious gifts to lay at your feet
Humbly in adoration you approach us
Each of us and yet some how one by one
Your eyes seek and search our every feature
As if you are looking at us for the very first time
Your hands, embracing our face, pull us toward you
Your lips touch the smoothness of our skin
Your tears of joy spill out upon us
To completely fill any arid space that exists
Together we sit and we ponder
We toast, we laugh and we enjoy
This table is the home we have longed for
Your presence is that space for which we have yearned
Now, in unity, not one thing is missing
So we are bound within your presences eternally.
To the One, the only Lord of my Life, Jesus Christ
Kisses,

What Do You Want from Me?
Conversation With My Dad
journal entry
What do you want from me????? Expectation, guilt shame.......
Dad the thoughts come so very fast, what do YOU have to say to me - to them?
I simply desire to "BE": with you, in you - abiding - working in harmony.
Lift this......."No you lift it - but not to carry; to lie it down - then pick up my yoke and be bound to that!"
But aren't I - I mean yoked to you....always in all ways..................?
Do I take it off and not notice, because your yoke is so light????? Is it the struggle to pick it up all the lifting which is breaking my back???
Please help me make understanding of all this - I cannot comprehend the things of you...without you!
I believe in you, I trust in your love for me. I know it is true that you will never leave me or forsake me.
What do you want from me?!?!
What do you expect?
My efforts appear useless
My heart feels great weight
burdened by guilt that I cannot comprehend
The shame of lost efforts
Wrap their arms to approach my ear
Each word creeps in close
Blocking much needed light.....
Give an inch.....
Take a mile.....
Give and take......
The war divides.
Keep you peace!
Guard your heart!
Use your mind,
to see the fight.
Hold your words
till the spirit speaks.
Fold your hands
to stay on your feet.
Give an inch....
Take a mile....
Give and take
The war divides.
Flesh and blood
not meant to fight.
the battle ensued
is supernatural ground.
To rightly divide
the spirit prevails
faith veils your eyes
to not walk by sight
Your face I follow
Your truth is my lead
My spirit is willing
Through trust we succeed.
After I wrote this I heard him say:
You have not yet chosen to pick their yoke up. This is simply the warning before the storm begins - please stay here in the garden.....Let the spirit win!!
After I talked to God about all this I looked beside me on the table and my bible was opened to Psalms 19 after reading it I just had to giggle. Today think on all this - write down anything that you might even slightly think you have picked up which is not yours to be hitched to. Ask our Dad about it, He promised to not hide anything from us. But we have to be willing to hear what he has to say. Sometimes that is the hard part!! He usually talks to us about ourselves asking us to leave others up to Him!
Psalms 19 helped me out this morning as well - so I post it here for you too. (GWT)
For the choir director; a psalm by David
The heavens declare the glory of God
and the sky displays what his hands have made
One day tells a story to the next
One night shares knowledge with the next
without talking
without words
without their voices being heard
(Yet) their sound has gone out into the entire world
their message to the ends of the earth
He has set up a tent in the heavens for the sun
which comes out of its chambers like a bridegroom
like a champion, it is eager to run its course
It rises from one end of the heavens
It circles around to the other
Nothing is hidden from its heat
The teachings of the Lord are perfect
They renew the soul
The testimony of the Lord is dependable
It makes gullible people wise
The instructions of the Lord are correct
They make the heart rejoice
The command of the Lord is radiant
It makes the eyes shine
The fear of the Lord is pure
It endures forever
The decisions of the Lord are true
They are completely fair
They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold
They are sweeter than honey, even the drippings from a honeycomb
As your servant I am warned by them
There is a great reward in following them
Who can notice every mistake
Forgive my hidden faults
Keep me from sinning
Do not let anyone fain control over me
Then I will be blameless
and I will be free from any great offense
May the words from my mouth and the thoughts from my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my defender.

Pieces of Peace
My peace I leave you - Not as this world has but the peace of my Father. If you knew my Father you would know me - You have seen me, you have seen my Father. God first loved the world and gave His only begotten Son ~ God is Love. Love is the highest calling...............
If we believe all the above pieces of scripture - how does Fear even have opportunity to enter into our thoughts??? Satan and his angels fell, they now spend their whole existence trying to make us believe we too are going to fall. Those angels made a choice, their choice was to enter into this spiritual battle with God.
God created us to be pieces of His peace - right here on this plane. He told us His story, who's we are to be "if we choose to accept Him". Today as we are thinking deeply about the roads we have traveled and the thoughts we were thinking along the way, won't you take a step outside? Go outside the walls of your home or work even if just for one moment. Go outside the walls of your own thoughts if just for one moment. Look up into this magnificent space above us. Realize if just for this one moment that you are connected to all life. All that you see - you are a piece of it and it of you because it is part of the God of the universe and you are a piece of all that is.
No matter how we might try we cannot disconnect from life. Even in death God says we still exist. Today, think life, think love, think bigger than any problem you have had, will have or face during your waking hours today. They are but passing moments and you have made it through so much - that alone should prove to you that you CAN make it - Just don't quit, give up or lay down. Take a rest - sure! But praise God in your rest and He will raise you up with more courage, power and vision of victory through Love.
I also added a devotional by Os Hillman - addressing forgiveness - I know you will understand the reasoning.
If you can't get outside -or the day is not as pretty where you are - watch this video from U2 - Magnificent. I hope it encourages you to find your voice and raise it to our Lord God Almighty ~and go ahead sing out with that original voice God gave you for him to enjoy (don't worry if no one else enjoys it =D)

"Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us" (Luke 11:4).
"I'm sorry for speaking to you harshly last night," I said. Then the Holy Spirit reminded me to add the second and most important part of my admission. "Will you forgive me?" Without this request we have only partially repented of our sin. It is important to humble ourselves before those we sin against. This is repentance. If we only say we are sorry we are only stating remorse for our actions.
Jesus modeled this in the Lords Prayer: "Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us" (Luke 11:4). When I owned my advertising agency I once filed a lawsuit against a client who refused to pay a $140,000 bill. However, the Lord instructed me that because I had also sinned in the situation, I was to drop the suit. My next move was to talk to my former client. I tried phoning him, but he wouldn't return my calls. Finally, I reached his secretary and said, "I want you to take this message down and give it to your boss, word for word - no changes: 'I have sinned against you. I know that I don't deserve your forgiveness, but I ask your forgiveness for filing the lawsuit against you. You are no longer obligated to pay the balance you owe me if you don't feel you owe it.'"
I could hear the secretary begin to cry on the other end of the line. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. About an hour later, my former client called. We hadn't spoken for six months. We reconciled the relationship.
The next few years were incredibly difficult because of the financial setback I suffered, but God provided for my needs. Looking back, I realize that this was my Judas Test. I passed the test when I let go of my resentment and asked to be forgiven, and God was glorified in the situation.

The Heart of the Matter
We all use this coined phrase. There has even been songs written about it. I believe Don Henley recorded the one I am thinking of presently. But is the term so overused that we do not really take in the depth of it's meaning. Solomon being the wisest human ever however, did not just wax it over. He recorded this nugget for us.
Proverbs 4:23 23Guard your heart more than anything else,because the source of your life flows from it
Our Deeply information is not to tell you what to think or even what you DO think, it is simply information for you and God to settle down into a comfortable place to look around your space - this space is the rooms in your heart where He lives. How have we decorated His space???
Look at this verse in 1Timothy 1:5 My goal in giving you this order is for love to flow from a pure heart, from a clear conscience, and from a sincere faith. Some people have left these qualities behind and have turned to useless discussions.
These are daily thoughts we will linger on through out Deeply. Exposing myths and ripping them out of our good ground is what this process is all about. So today let's just run these scriptures through our heart and mind. Listen to your thoughts, write them down - I hope you will share them with us all so that we can gleen from what the Lord is doing in your life.
Proverbs 14:10 Each heart knows its own bitterness and no one else can share it's joy.
Proverbs 16:1 To man belong the plans of the heart but from the Lord comes the reply of the tongue.
Proverbs 27:19-20 As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man. Death and destruction are never satisfied, and neither are the eyes of man.
With the Love of our Christ I cover us all,
Candace

Remember that the Holy Spirit has made all things known to you so guard your heart above all else, because out of it flows the issues of life. Be well today, because you can be!

I leave of with these two verse to ponder:
Proverbs 20:5 A plan in the heart of a man is like deep water, But a man of understanding draws it out.
Proverbs 27:19 As in water face reflects face, So the heart of man reflects man.
Ecclesiasties 3:11 He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.
1 Peter 1:12 God revealed to the prophets that the things they had spoken were not for their own benefit but for yours. What the prophets had spoken, the Holy Spirit, who was sent from heaven, has now made known to you by those who spread the Good News among you. These are things that even the angels want to look into.
I pray that we understand this day what God means when He promised us that the spirit searches all things even the depths of God. I pray that we: look toward the heavens each moment giving praise, that we keep our face set as flint and our eyes set on the things of His Kingdom, that we think on things that are holy, lovely and pure with the a devotion toward all that He is.
