Forsaken.

Such an ugly word.

Even uglier when experienced.

Many years ago I received a text from a friend of two decades.  It simply read, “I can no longer be your friend.”

Devastation flooded through me. What had I done wrong? How could I fix it? I replied through text. I sent letters and cards.

Silence.

Throughout the entire grieving period of the lost friendship, God made it clear that this was His will.  Though I was forsaken by this person, He assured me that I was never forsaken by Him (Deut. 31:6).  He is the constant companion who calls me friend (John 15:15).

In elementary school, I had a sweet boy follow me around everywhere.  Each morning he arrived before me and made sure to have my books in the basket under my desk and my pencils sharpened.  He brought extra snacks to share at lunch and played whatever I wanted at recess.  For a while I was feeling pretty good about myself.  All the attention made me stand out in class because everyone noticed.  EVERYONE noticed!!

That’s when the talking started.  Nasty comments made just within hearing distance.

Why did I let him do this?

Who was I to get the attention?

Did my parents pay him to wait on me?

And on and on.

Once the thoughts took up residence in my mind, I obsessed and fretted over them.  Classmates began making fun of my friend, yet everyday he continued getting my books and pencils.

Then the new boy appeared.  You know the one – The slightly bad boy with perfect hair and jeans.  The one who every girl screams in her head, “Pick me!”

It wasn’t long after bad boy’s arrival he questioned me about my follower.  He assured me he could take care of the problem, and my sweet friend wouldn’t “bother” me anymore. I was so excited he was talking to me I said yes –  thank you.

The next day the new boy approached my friend in the gym, knocked his books out of his hands and pushed him back against the wall.  He told him to leave me alone.

I will never forget the look on my sweet friend’s face.  I had caused this; all because of negative comments and a cute boy.  I knew it could never be the same.

But the next day, I walked into class and books were in my desk with sharpened pencils.

My sweet friend smiled.

I gave him a huge hug.

Lesson in faithfulness learned.

On January 10, 2010, The Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates was unveiled. It is the largest tower in the world reaching a staggering height of 2,716.5 feet. If you’ve travelled to the top of the Empire State Building or Eiffel Tower, you were approximately 1,000 feet short of the height of Burj Khalifa. With an elevator ascending at 40 miles an hour, visitors canreach the observation deck in two minutes. Designed by Adrian Smith, the structure was originally named Burj Dubai, but was renamed in honor of the President of the UAE, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al Nahyan. The building was created to make a name for the area and create international recognition.

Sound familiar?

Building with the intent to make a name…

Tower of Babel

And those overachieving innovators only accomplished a structure of 300 feet.

Man is a determined creature. Many of us spend our lives building something that has no purpose for the Kingdom of God.

And just when we think maybe – maybe, we have accomplished something, someone else comes along and does it bigger and better. So our cycle of building begins once more.

In April 2016, plans were announced to create a new tower in Dubai – just a “notch taller” than the Burj Khalifa. Having the tallest building in the world is not even enough. They still want more.

But what if today our ‘more’ became Jesus and not the things of this world?

If we chose to make our building about Christ…

Building our lives for Him.

Building our homes for Him.

Building our relationships for Him- that is the only building that matters.

  • Read Luke 14:28. Make a list of the cost – to your life specifically – to build your life around Christ. Consider how your daily/weekly/monthly schedule would change.   How would your spending change? What would you read/watch/hear? Where would you go? Ask God to reveal any hidden costs not coming to mind

Making the grocery list for forgotten items

For that little baby – that grew to be the Man – that gave His life for us.

We only get this Christmas 2016 once.

Don’t race through it.

Ish {Names of God: Week 14}

“Don’t go”. Two words- whispered through tears. Words that should have shattered my heart into a million pieces upon hearing, but instead hardened it beyond any emotion. I walked out without a backward glance, leaving my husband- just one day after his father’s funeral- standing alone in the middle of our kitchen. I began justifying my behavior as soon as I got in the car and headed out for a week long girls trip.

I deserved this.
I worked hard.
He didn’t need me.
I would be a better wife after a vacation.
And on and on.

Shamefully, I admit that I never felt guilty the entire trip, and I enjoyed it. A lot.

It wasn’t until several years later, sitting in a Bible study on the submission of wives that all the memories of my years of rebellious, selfish behavior came flooding in and ripped my heart to shreds. So many wasted days, that I can never get back in my marriage. The friends I traveled with are long gone, but my husband was a constant.

Constantly neglected.
Constantly disrespected.
Constantly unloved.

I repented. I asked for forgiveness. I began praying that God would change my heart to have so much love and respect for my husband. I even specifically prayed for tingles when he walked into the room. Our God is faithful.

When David faced Goliath he was not shaking in fear. He did not focus on the incredible size, fancy attire or heavy weaponry of the giant. Instead, David saw what the giant was not- circumcised. Because Goliath was uncircumcised, he was not protected by the covenant of God that David possessed. David stood in the presence of his faithful God, the One who empowered him to kill wild beasts with his bare hands. We have the same faithful God. Are you standing in His presence with confidence? Or are you dismayed and afraid of the giant before you?

There are times when life requires me to go somewhere – knowing someone is there I don’t particularly want to see.  A sense of dread washes over me; my stomach knots knowing the face to face meeting is inevitable.  And in my head, I begin to create all sorts of scenarios regarding this encounter.  What I will say.  What they will say.  Before I know it, I am angry or hurt because of an inner dialogue that never even took place! The only fact I can be sure of regarding the encounter is that Jehovah Shammah will be there.  My responsibility is simple: honor Him.  I must choose to honor Him with my words and actions. I need to pray to the only One with the power and authority to control any situation instead of playing out scenarios in my head.  When I attempt to create solutions in my mind, I remove His control from my heart.  And this certainly isn’t the attitude I want to harbor before I arrive somewhere.

Jehovah {Names of God: Week 11}

Relationships are messy! They are full of hard work and struggles. Even the best relationships require dedication and stamina (and a lot of prayer). I lived through a season where most of my relationships were severed: and the ones remaining were hanging by a thread. Enveloped in loneliness, I struggled and grieved to understand why these relationships were stripped from me. As with most crises, I turned to God for answers- the One who knows all and sees all would have answers for me. What He revealed to me was the name Jehovah– the self existent God-the God of relationships. He is the one who never leaves or forsakes me (Deut. 31:6). The one who is omnipresent in my life (Psalms 139:7). He already knew the outcome He wanted to bring in my life, but it was still my free will choice to follow Him on the journey or not. It was not easy. The experience is reminiscent of the time I road the teacups at Disney World after eating (not recommended, by the way). I felt nauseated and dizzy after getting off- stumbling around trying to walk straight. But during this relationship drought, I eventually relied on Jehovah for everything- companionship, comfort, confidant. And I learned it was ok. If I had no one else, He was enough. Is He enough for you? Do you know him as Jehovah?

Jehovah Shophet {Names of God: Week 10}

Judgmental? I’m guilty!

You name it, and I probably have a thought or two to share.  Yet most of the time, the judgments are about myself. Growing up, life was not this way.  Children were seen and not heard and the women were quiet homemakers with little input to add in discussions outside of recipes, dance costumes, and laundry.  In school, we simply regurgitated information given to us by our teacher.  But somewhere during high school, the message began to change.  Suddenly we were told our voice mattered and what we thought had some validity. In college, an even stronger message was taught; not only did we have a voice, but we needed to stop allowing others in society to marginalize us.

With this new voice came an increasingly judgmental mindset.  At twenty years old I still judged myself harshly, but now I was convinced I knew how to solve all the problems of the world. And everyone needed to hear about it.  Funny how no matter what age we are, we can still have that twenty year old mind set. Our way is the right way – the only way.

But there is truly only one right way, and that is God’s way.  From Genesis to Revelation, He shares with us the exact way we should look at every situation.   And if we are following His directions, our voice truly does matter – the voice in our own head, and the voice we share with others.  What He leads us to share with our voice IS beneficial, because we are guiding others to the One who is the true Judge.
