RE-MEMEBER NEVER FORGET
Lately I have been thinking about the suffix "RE". Two single letters 'R' and 'E' before a word. However those two little letters have great meaning. They mean, to do something over again. When I was a little girl I remember playing games and when someone lost. Or they did not do as well as they would have liked to do in the game, they would ask for a 'do over'. Meaning they wanted to 're' do what ever task they were doing. In life many times I have wanted a 'do over'. Sadly enough though there are many things that we can not 're' do. At least not in the natural sense of the word. We can not 're'move a permanent scar left by our words or actions, or 're'live a moment gone by or even 're'gain the years that were wasted. Yet the Lord said, that as impossible as it is may be for a 'camel' to go through the eye of a needle...nothing is impossible with Him. Matthew 19:26 He can 're'new our strength like the eagle Isaiah 40:31 and 're'veal His awesome power to us and through us as we trust in His word Deuteronomy 29:29 He will 're'joy-ce over us with singing, thus turning our mourning into gladness. Psalm 30:11 So let us the 'RE'Deemed of the Lord say so Isaiah 51:51 As we 'RE' MEMBER Him in our day to day lives He will 'RE' MOVE our sins (mistakes, short comings and just plain blunders) as far from us as the east is from the west. Genesis 12:8 One of my favourite old hymns is "Revive Us Oh Lord". I hope that as you read these words you will 're'minisce about God and His goodness to you. That is what Jesus asked us to do before He left this planet. He said to "do this in re-memberance of me" Luke 22:19 If you have never done that before I hope you will take the time to 're'ad (read) His love letters to you (The Bible) and allow him to 're'vive you. In essence that is what salvation is; God giving us our life back. The life stolen through the effects of original sin Romans 5:12 {Death came upon all men for all have sinned} That is why Jesus said "you must be born again/'re-born' John 3:7 So please join me as I 'Re-member' what God has done and 're-joy'-ce with me. 'Remembering' that 'joy' is not contingent upon how we feel or what is 'happening' to us or in us. Joy is a gift. Happiness, like it's root (Happy) denotes that it is dependent on what is 'happening' or has 'happened'. So as I like to say: if you must "have your emotion, have it, just don't let your emotion have you". Just 'remember' to put on joy just like you put on your clothes each day and 're-main' steadfast in the Lord and He will 'RE'new a right spirit within you Psalm 51:10

Memorial Day aka Big Church Day Out 2010
It was memorial day in the states on May 31st and I of course took the time to pray for all the soldiers out there not only in the US but throughout the world. And like many of you to pray for those who lost loved ones in combat. I also took a moment to thank God for my Sean being spared through 'dangers,toil and fear' However here in the UK we had the Big Church Day Out in Steyning, West Sussex. It was held over two days this past weekend this year because last year it sold out at 15,000 plus people and they had to turn people away from the gate. We had a great family day out in more ways than one. As we met with our wider family. The Family of God. With lots of food and fellowship and most of all worship. What a privileged we have a Christians to live in a society where we can meet together with all different denominations to worship God with no fear of persecution. I really stand in humility thinking about the persecuted church throughout the world. Please take a peek at my slide show and if you were not there to share it with us then at least you can share in my memories. Then when you're done take a minute to remember the persecuted church throughout the world. Where being a Christian and expressing your love for God could mean severe persecution, imprisonment or even death. Then if you are a believer in the one true God and His sacrifice via His son Jesus take a minute more to thank God for your freedom to love God in spirit and in truth and pray for someone who is not so blessed.
Love and Peace until next time, SS Firedancer

SATURN AKA IT'S OUR TURN POEM
IT'S OUR TURN
FOR A REVOLUTION
A TURNING ABOUT IN THE CHABERS OF OUR MINDS
TO FIX OUR SPIRITUAL EYES
ON THINGS
VIEWED ONLY THROUGH THE LENSE OF DIVINE
REVELATION
IT'S OUR TURN
TO RISE FROM OUR COUCHES OF COMPLACENCY
TO SLIP OUT OF OUR SLUMBERING NIGHT GOWNS
AND BE ADORNED
IN THE TRUE AND UNDEFILED POWER
OF THE SUPERNATURAL
IT'S OUR TURN
TO BE REVEALED
AS THE LUMINESCENT WARRIORS
OF THE UNSEEN WORLD
ON THIS TERRESTRIAL TERRAIN
OF HUMAN FLESH
IT'S OUR TURN
TO JOURNEY DOWN TO THE HIDDEN PORTALS OF UNTAPPED PROVISION
TO UNLOCK
THE CHAINS & BARS & BOLTS
WHICH HAVE
HELD BACK THE DESTINY OF THE ROYAL HEIRS FOR FAR TOO LONG
IT'S OUR TURN

NOT IN VAIN
The following is a poem that goes with my most recent painting "Intercession" (acrylic on a 6 sided canvas.)Pictured above.
If you look closely there are many hidden things you will see.
Like the sillouette of the "Mother and Child" in the Iris of the eye. And the double helix eyebrow. The blades of grass for the eyelashes etc... Let me know what you see there is more but I won't tell it all.
I hope you will be touched as you read my heart and Gods heart for all those who have "suffered abortion"or any other loss of a child.
If you are one who has been through the trauma of losing a child whether it be to abortion, miscarriage, death or seperation.
I pray that you will recieve Gods love and healing for you as you rememeber the life that was
"NOT IN VAIN"
God bless you as you read this.
PS listen to the "you tube video" link under YOU TUBE VIDEOS of the song "Afterwhile" but have your hankies out.
"NOT IN VAIN"
THEY LIED TO ME I CRIED
IN THE STILLNESS OF THE NIGHT
THEY TOLD ME
THAT YOU WEREN'T REALLY REAL
JUST A MASS OF TISSUE
YOU'LL NEVER KNOW IT'S GONE
PROCEEDURE IS QUICK AND PAINLESS
WAIT AND SEE
THAT WAS MANY YEARS AGO
MANY HEART FELT TEARS AGO
AND STILL YOU MEMORY
IS ETCHED UPON MY MIND
THE HANDS OF TIME KEEP TICKING ON
THERE'S NO WAY
THAT I CAN EVER TURN THEM BACK
I KNOW SOME DAY I'LL SEE YOU
WHEN I REACH THE OTHER SIDE
IN JESUS ARMS
YOU'RE NESTLED SAFE AND WARM
BUT NOW I'VE GOT TO TELL THEM
THAT LIFE INSIDE IS REAL
I CAN NOT LET YOUR DEATH
REMAIN
IN VAIN

Not so Little Anymore
This was a Poem I wrote when my big boys were "oh so little" and I needed to remember that one day they wouldn't be little any more. With a bit of a tear in my eyes I have to admit that day has come. I still have two not so grown up boys (one my consolation prize and the other my bonus.) And two who are into their manhood. I hope all you mom's out there of little ones especially the rambunctious little boys remember that:
LITTLE BOYS ARE WONDERFUL
IN THEIR ROUGH AND TUMBLE WAYS
LITTLE BOYS ARE WONDERFUL
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY
THEY HAVE A WAY OF PUTTING
A SMILE UPON YOUR FACE
ALTHOUGH YOU MAY FEEL FRAZZLED
AS YOU TRY TO KEEP THEIR PACE
TRANSFORMING WEEDS TO ROSES
AND SCRIBBLES TO WORKS OF ART
AND CAUSING LAUGHTER DEEP WITHIN
AND JOY TO FLOOD YOUR HEART
SO IF YOUR FEELING WEARY
CAN'T WAIT TO END THE DAY
REMEMBER WHAT I TELL YOU
REMEMBER WHAT I SAY
LITTTLE BOYS ARE WONDERFUL
IN THEIR ROUGH AND TUMBLE WAYS

Thank you for you comments on my painting "Diane's Callas.
God has sweet ways of helping us when we need it the most. Your post "RE-MEMBER NEVER FORGET" was his gift to me on a day when I needed a little extra help.
I began painting when I lost my daughter to cancer. She was an artist and her paint supplies where given to me by her husband. Diane was her mother-in-law. She loved her like her own child. Callas were my daughters favorite flower.
Thank you for being God's messenger.
Hi I just got your response to my comment about your painting. I was very touched by by the loss of your daughter. I have a sister that is battling lung cancer who I have not seen in almost 2 years. My heart goes out to you I will be praying for you. Please feel free to email me if you would like.
Blessings and prayers, Soroya
