Tender Love

Tender love
I will keep you warm

Stoke the fires of love
In the eye of the storm

Gentle whispers
With the tears rolling down

I see where you're coming from

I want to be around.

From a mile away
I will capture your gaze


For look in my eyes
You can see my heart best


You don't have to wander
You really can rest.

More on the White Horses...

Here is a poem-prayer written by another for a friend of mine. Someone sent this poem to me b/c they thought I may find it comforting in general. Funny enough, I had just written the other poem below (Running Horses: Revolution) the night before. They had no idea what had been going on in my heart this last week regarding these topics. God, help us all who are faithful in love with You and who want our strength to be bridled without losing our spirit. I remember that someone once prayed and prophesied over me that I am like the sword maiden in Lord of the Rings who is mighty with the sword and longs to be free. (Well, that doesn't mean I don't thrive in relationships...it just means I long to be understood in that.) :-)

There is a reason for that passion. It is not meant to keep people away or to be independent. It is meant to be the fullness of what and who we are in the fullness of our free spirit. It is meant to be brought into the fullness of strength and the fullness of love and the fullness of running. It is not independence. It is not rebellion. It is not impossible to be bridled or brought into a pack. It is just a flavor of beauty that is meant to be all that it is meant to be. The easiest way to crush the spirit of one who is free is to tell it that it has to be something other than what it is made to be....

Thank you to the one who sent me this poem. It was so timely and needed. I appreciate this and all that the Lord is teaching me regarding all of this at this time.... This topic has come up through a variety of circumstances and I am learning that I have to trust others that just because they want to harness that strength that they are not going to crush my spirit.

I am free.


Heavenly Father
I praise You for Your daughter
like a white stallion
who cannot be bridled
Though they may try

though they have the bit in her mouth
though they surround her and pull her down to tame her
they cannot
she won't have it
Just a gentle touch of the windin her mane
is enough to send her rearing
and crying out to God, "Set me free from them."

Though they are many they cannot hold her
cannot break the spirit rising now
cannot give her to the marketplaceto be sold
to one other than her Maker

Her spirit is strong and will not be broken
courageous and will not falter
Until she is running freely in the groves and along shores
exalting Jesus as Lord.

A message for a flower...

Running Horses: Revolution

running, running
hearts desire
horses running
balls of fire
rolling, rolling
off their manes
the faster they run
the brighter the flames
freely, freely
running freely
hearts of fire
singing sweetly
white horses running
far, far away
freedom is their melody
fire is their mane
the faster they go
the larger the fire
rolls from their manes
in burning desire
feasting, feasting
feasting their eyes
one goal before them
one Man the prize
run freely horses
remember the pain
that held you back
when you were enchained
run freely horses
with the fires of love
there is One who is for you
with heart made of love
don't stop your running
or your freedom song
its yours to sing
and they're singing along
the many horses that are joining your tribe
one nation born
in freedom
RIDE!
dance, dance
feel the beat and the fusion
the horses are trotting to
the beat of revolution
run freely white horses
with rolling manes of fire
your freedom is given
you never will tire
sing revolution
freedom and love
burning desire
that comes from above
these horses from heaven
were shown me on earth
i was told i am like them
for what it is worth.

"I was prayin for ya and thought I would tell ya what I felt God saying. I felt God was saying It is released. It is released. I felt it was something that is something that you and God know about deep in the recesses of you. I felt like It has been released and so know it is coming. Timing, I felt was out of his hands of sorts like it is released and depending on stuff between there and you it will arrive. So just know it. Felt like you would dance about it, like a happy dance."

:-) How can I help but smile when receiving this email. First of all, this email came from a new friend. 2nd, yes--there is something that me and God know about deep within the recesses of me. And last, the Lord and I have been talking about just such a release. This is a beautiful confirmation to me from a beloved new friend. (Thank you, Lord. And thank you new friend!)

And by the way, I will be doing a VERY happy dance. :-)

The Lord and I have LOTS of secrets! Like Mary, He has allowed me to ponder a lot while being very quiet! But He is so fun! It is just like Him to give a little clue like this to let me know He is thinking about our secrets and moving on them behind the scenes! He is awesome! He is God!

The Downpour of the Lord

“God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth,' and to the rain shower, 'Be a mighty downpour.' Job 37:5-6

He sets the lonely in families.

Psalm 68:6 "God sets the lonely in families."



Last night I dreamed that I was traveling the world and I was doing many things on this trip. I was on the trip alone, but there were many, many people around me. I stepped onto a stage and I don't know if there were any people there or not (I don't remember seeing any people). But the Lord had given me a message of power and I released it over the microphone and the message went out. I don't know what I said, but I know that it was the power of God and the arrows of the Lord going deep and far. I watched a video of it later in the dream and the video had no sound. I never heard what I said, but knew the arrows of the Lord were coming out.



When I woke up I realized that the word I was giving with my life in that dream was Psalm 68:6 "God sets the lonely in families." And the Lord showed me the great need for this message--not just in words--but in His desire to bring RESTORATION to families--to the broken hearts in the inner city and also to the orphans of the world. The Lord is bringing restoration to the family.

Being raised in a loving family is something the enemy is trying to destroy. He has already wreaked havoc and brought destruction in the lives of so many people. God is calling us to take and live a different approach and to take up this calling and anointing for the restoration of the family.



In the dream the Lord showed me that this would be a huge life message that would be lived out and carried out by me and my husband. There is a world out there that has no idea what it means to be loved in the context of a family and God is wanting to restore that to those who have never had. He is wanting to bring healing to devastation and to protect, defend, and restore the family unit in America and all over the world! He wants the orphans to know He sets the lonely in families and that they are not alone. He wants those who have never had fathers or husbands or mothers or brothers to know that they are loved and that there is a God who loves them and people around them who represent the face of God right in front of them.



Oh Lord, please bring restoration to the families of the world. Turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the children to their fathers. Please restore the broken hearts of this generation and meet the lonely and tell them they are not alone. And Lord, let us carry this mantle of anointing for family and raise a generation who will know you as Father and Husband and who will be cared for by fathers and mothers who know that this destruction has been a specific attack.



May the grace of God come under the many who are anointed to carry this call for family and to trumpet it while raising the next generation so that there can be a true turning of the hearts of the fathers and children toward one another. I pray this in the name of Jesus--especially for the orphans and inner city children and broken families of the world.



Amen.

Theme Songs: The Beu Sisters: Catch Me If You Can

What you get is
What you see
And you can bet it's worth it, baby
'Cause what you get is me.

So keep it real and just say what you feel
Don't be scared to fall in love.

Do you really want it, if you want it you can get it
If you get it don't regret it, I can bet you're gonna let it take you
Higher and higher (so what you gonna do?)
Love is like a butterfly, tapestry across the sky
Doesn't need a reason why
Feel it taking you and I
Higher and higher (I wanna get with you)

So, catch me if you can
Oh, catch me if you can.

Now you know, just what it takes
To make a little bit of heaven, baby.
So hold on tight, but learn to let go.
We'll be free to be every color of the rainbow.

Don't be afraid to, let it embrace you
I'm gonna show you every little thing about love, yeah.

Do you really want it, if you want it you can get it

So you try and deny that your feelings are real
'cause you're scared to believe all you need is l-o-v-e, love

You can run, you can hide, but you know down inside
It will catch up to you, when you see you will find out
You better believe all you need is l-o-v-e love, love

Do you really want it, if you want it you can get it
If you get it don't regret it, I can bet you're gonna let it take you

Doesn't need a reason why
Feel it taking you and I
Higher and higher (I wanna get with you)

Feel it taking you and I
Higher and higher

I know you want me baby
Come on and get me baby
