Can I Have a Moment with You?
Can I Have a Moment with You?
Can I have a moment with you; a moment where it's just me and you. I'm not asking for a lifetime even though that would be alright. I just want a moment where there is total serenity, a place in time where I have no worries about my identity. A moment where I'm embodied in Faith and I do not have to worry about my life, just a moment papa would be nice. A moment where silence is assurance and stillness is rest. A moment with you where I never question the integrity of your heart for me. May I have a moment where even in darkness the light of your love, only shows the traces of your handprint upon my heart? May I have a moment with you, nothing else at this point in my life will do. I need one moment; a moment when I can hear one word from you that will remain a mystery to the world, but solidifies all my questions of why? May I have one moment with you, where every curse that has ever been spoken over my life, in that one moment, is broken! Can I have a moment, where fear has to disappear and the power of your presence is the only thing that is real? One moment that makes me feel like it's been a life time. A moment with you where there is no TV, no desktop, no laptop, no games, no social media, no conversations, no sermon, where I don't have to go to church to search, and no phone, but it's just me and you alone- Just one moment with you will do. In order for me to have spiritual conception, I need intimacy without distractions. I was not designed to always be pre-occupied, the devil is a lie. I was designed to walk with you in the cool of the day, not to worry about anything in life because with all temptation you will make a way escape. I've been desperate for a long time; I thought I was on the right path, so I couldn't not figure out why, I was still feeling empty at times. Then, one day a song within began to play… "Can I have a moment with you; there is nothing else I rather do." It was then that I knew I missing something and I could only find it in you. All I need is one word, one kiss, one touch, one breath, in one moment. A moment where my so called failures won't frustrate me. One moment where it's not about ordinary Christianity, but Kingdom reality. Can I have one moment where I lose consciousness of my present circumstances, so that I can bask in all of your amazing plans? Can I have one moment with you where you deposit the miracle of your resurrection within me? The moment where nothing stands in my way, one moment where I sit at the feet with the Spirit of Truth, the moment where It's me and you.
Can I have one moment?

THE SILHOUETTE
THE SILHOUETTE
Today, I woke up with a silhouette of my future in the forefront of mind; I stood in awe at its beauty and the mysterious & many forms it took on.
I saw me on my knees in gratitude for all that God had done for me.
I saw a form of unspeakable joy and laughter all around me.
I saw my daughters sitting around me, with my husband holding my hands. They were all grown up and beautiful inside and out. They sat around me telling me of all the great things they were experiencing in life.
I saw silver and black balloons being released in the air, celebrating forty years of marriage and the fortitude we had for the promise we made.
I saw a huge table with family around it; I saw my girls again and beside them were men who loved them, I saw tiny feet running around the house-somehow I knew we did well in raising them.
I saw awards all around my wall from their achievements as well as mine. I saw pictures of people's lives that I touched and who touched mine. I saw numerous photos of places all over the world that I had traveled; what an indescribable, and overwhelming expression of my destiny.
I saw my words embedded in the hearts of the souls of man, I saw how they strengthened the weak and strong, the young and the old, from different cultures and different races.
I saw my feet dangling in the most majestic blue waters.
I saw myself on the sitting-ledge of a huge boulder under a cool waterfall on a perfect and still summer day.
I saw places that I did not recognize, but my feet did! They remembered all the places my dreams, faith, perseverance, and favor treaded.
I saw myself standing on the peak of a mountain in awe of the beauty of this world when you stand above it, and the strength I found out I had to climb it.
I saw myself holding a little child's face in my hand; I could feel the innocence and love from his or her eyes- I could have stayed in that moment forever.
I saw myself laying in the sand along the ocean shore line and hearing the sweet, tender voice of the lover of my soul whispering to me , "today I dropped a tear in the ocean for you and the day you find is the day that I stop loving you" With my eyes looking up into his ……my heart received.
I saw myself sitting in an old, but comfortable wooded chair outside of an old, but beautiful wooden cabin looking up at stars in the sky as each of them, one by one began to share in confidence their names. I responded with my heart once again, "your secret is safe with me."
I saw the faithfulness of my savior and all that he gave His life for
I saw the abundance of life…..I saw that it was even more
I saw what can be, what is, and what will be – Yes I saw sure possibility!
What do you see in your silhouette ?

He is the God of Hope
Hello,
It's been a while and I miss you all. I pray all is well with each of you. This past Saturday, I was asking the Lord for a scripture to encourage members on Sunday, but I believe He gave me a scripture to encourage all of his children. Romans 15:13 (ESV) May the God of hope fill you with ALL joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. As I read it over and over again, I began to be strengthened in my inner man with the strength and boldness of the Lord! I was drawn to the word hope in the beginning and the end of this passage. Hope in this passage means "to anticipate, usually with pleasure." Many times the enemy tries to steal your anticipation, so he can paralyze our determination. You must have a foretaste of the goodness of the Almighty God in the wait. You must be able to realize in advance that He is not a man that He should lie, nor the son of man that He should repent. If God said it, you have to be determined to believe that He will do it, and know it will be good. I'm here to tell you that you have to be determined to keep believing; determined in the process of the promise. The shadow of Hope has to be the rear-guard of your life because hopelessness, doubt, and discouragement will try it's best to sneak up on you and kill the dream, purpose, or promise that you've held on to thus far. You have to be stubborn, and you may even have to stand toe to toe with hopelessness, doubt, discouragement, and whatever else that comes to steal your promise and say "I WILL CONTINUE TO HOPE AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS." You might even have to wrestle like Jacob did! Sometimes, I just have to tell the devil two simple words "SHUT UP" because he does not have permission to speak to my promise! I remember seeing the discouragement and hopelessness in my husband's eyes after standing, hoping, and pursuing his promise over ten years to become a fireman; he received rejection letter after rejection letter. Can you imagine how many of those he received in ten years from almost every county you can think of. I remember he came to me and said, "Tiffany, if God is saying this is not what He has for me, then I will let it go; I'm tired." I was glad he said the word "if" and that he did not say "I'm done." God can work with an 'if" when we surrender to His will in the times of uncertainty. So we prayed and asked God should we let it go- we felt like He said, "hold on." I'm not sure how long after that, but it was not too long before my husband received his letter to the Richmond Fire Academy. What would have happened if he would have gave in to the scheme of hopelessness and gave up on this dream. The promise might be right around the corner and the enemy will tell you to turn around while he steals the promise, and not to mention the years or time you stood believing.
The scripture mentioned two Kingdom tools to abiding in Hope: All Joy and Peace. Wow- not partial joy and peace; not even ninety-five percent. He said, "ALL!" He is all sufficient! He is full completion! He is the Great I am; our ALL in ALL. I can stay right there for a minute because He is not only ALL, but He is El Shaddai, our more than enough! That means even though hope is your rear guard, we are also covered on every side.
Lastly, it states by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in Hope. He is such an amazing Father. He is saying not by our power, nor our might, but by His Spirit! In our weakness, He is strong! We are never alone; never forsaken. Now, remember the beginning of the verse stated, may the God of Hope… Do you get it? His Spirit of Hope will be your rear guard, your side and front guard. He will protect everything that He himself has promised. He will fill you with ALL His joy and peace to help you remain present in the promise; always seeing it right before you with much anticipation. You do not have to be depressed or discouraged in the wait. You get to have ALL JOY AND PEACE IN THE JOURNEY!
As I'm typing, listening to my worship, my fingers are typing a sweet worship of truth that I pray resound in the ears of your spirit and soul.
Be Ye Determined and Encouraged. The God of Hope will not fail you.
