The tale of the two trees eventually evolved into the tale of the two gardens. One where the first Adam, never prayed in Garden of Eden and when challenges came he collapsed like a house of cards in a child's fingers. In the second garden of Gathesmane, the second "Adam" Jesus prayed so passionately and there our redemption was secured.<br /><br />I know our redeemer liveth and surely many will prayer that our spiritual eyes and ears be open to know how far we are. At times it takes a father like to reminder us we are no longer "caterpillars" but "butterflies"<br /><br />CITN, all partners of Bishop, change has come and is coming. let us embrace it so tight in 2010 that all negative mentalities will not be part of our lot. Let's be positive not negative, active and not passive. Be strong and don't be dismayed.<br /><br />God bless you all.<br /><br />Pr.

She's often wanted to ask her mom things but she passed away at age 42 in 1991 and her dad about 4 yrs ago. It's been tough for her, especially about her mom because of a long bout with breast cancer... but Natasha has been very strong and I've seen that it has been the Lord that has strengthened and carried her through.<br /><br />You know that verse about ..."even if they forget, I will never abandon you" She wasn't abandoned but her mom wasn't there and the Lord lifted her up... be encouraged.Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13045858173370816554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-38049962657435195572010-01-07T02:02:00.034-05:002010-01-07T02:02:00.034-05:00When my world fell apart years ago it seemed that ...When my world fell apart years ago it seemed that connections happened that turned my world around. The only part that really upsets me most is the fact that when I need an ear only a parent can give their not there. They both have gone on to be with the Lord and so have my husband's parents. My parents died too young mom was 49 and dad was 61. Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair. Whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. <br />Treasure the people in your life for tomorrow is not promised.<br />I think about the rapture but really everyday is rapture for someone.

Better explanation that I had no idea what I could do while maintaining the 'present' I had at the moment. <br /><br />Those things did change, and I became something new. Again and again. That has been true even recently. Kind of like Dr Who. :)<br /><br />Then the core is still the same, just another transformation into more of what I am created to be. <br /><br />Each transformation is kind of uncomfortable, but as much as it seems something new, it seems actually more of truly who I am. Different, but more the same, but different. <br /><br />By now, I should be used to it, but it is still kind of freaky. Every time though, I see more of me. Really cool after it settles down. <br /><br />All I am and everything I was meant to be, in harmony - more and more.Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09639126458428187942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-58103036031210557742010-01-06T23:28:37.740-05:002010-01-06T23:28:37.740-05:00We don't need no stinkin' time zones!We don't need no stinkin' time zones!PattiL007https://www.blogger.com/profile/02708593552345736510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-35159147722502720492010-01-06T23:24:37.145-05:002010-01-06T23:24:37.145-05:00I agree!
