Young People’s Creativity Will Save the World
“We need young people with courage, with integrity, with honor to be the new pioneers, the new settlers of the prairies of Kansas and to help rebuild the small towns that have been dying and disappearing into oblivion.”
I was a young person in Kansas once. The creative people there were its life’s blood. Thanks for calling. Give Kansas a hug and a kiss for me.

Peace Song// Kye Kye
Garden full of the brightest range of colors, oh the sight is something I know
room full of family and friends, hear the laughter oh this sound is something I know
familiar roads with my windows rolled down oh the smell is something I know
but You gave life so not the way I thought (Jon.3:16)(Ro.5:1 & 5:8)
You gave love so not the way I knew (Eph.5:2)
There is no weeping, (Mat.5:3-12)
there is no sorrow,
you’re holding me now there’s no rules to follow (Gal.3:19 & 24-26) (Ro.3:21-22)
I know who you are now (Jon.17:2-3)
I’m running a different way
so overwhelmed (Eph 3:18-19)
by you Jesus
Eleven years old there was pride running my shoulder
was a brick too hard to break
resisting the cold she’s a young and humble mother
in a park she sits and waits
but when I looked into her eyes guess what I recognized
a love too strong to fake it
Love you waited so patiently (1Jo.4:16 )(1Cor.13:4)
for all this to finally hit me
SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns—01/02/12:
The worldly concerns that have kept you in fear and bondage will now give way to the reality and substance of your faith to trust Me in all things. For, I will direct your steps and be your rear guard. I am with you to give wisdom and guidance in all things.Rise up from the burden of despair that has rendered you hopeless and helpless. Be done with the darkness of disappointment. I say, arise to new heights of faith and hope. You are not alone; I am with you to bring you through to victory.
Set a watch for situations that have the potential for rejection, offense, and division. Yours is to be humble and to pursue the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Then, trust Me to mend what has been fractured and to bring restoration and wholeness. It is time for all flesh that causes division to be cut off.
I am releasing you from boredom and stagnation to be revitalized. Shake yourself awake, and no longer be under the spell of spiritual slumber. Then, you will sense a surge of new excitement and anticipation for what I will do in you and with you in the days ahead.
Position yourself for discovery. Stay steady. Keep your focus. Don’t be afraid to allow My Spirit to take you to greater heights and to reveal what has been hidden. Your new found sense of adventure will be delightful.
You are on the threshold of a new era in which you can begin again, says the Lord. Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.
1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

I Want to Lose Myself in Grace
The simplicity of life is enough to gently, gradually and faithfully change ones heart. We will never be able to fully know everything even the slightest knowledge is really none at all. Having knowledge and a belief about things are two separate understandings. I believe that we will never be able to reach our peak in life because we are always changing, growing, and being carved into the person we have been designed to carry. We will never be good enough because there is no such thing as enough except for Grace in which you can never have enough of. I do not have to strive to earn or gain what has been already placed on my behalf as we have been freed to experience Glory in our original form. You are uniquely set apart with one life to lead and no one else has the abilities that the Creator has given you. This is our own predestined journey that can be continued in faith, hope and our commerce of love.
“be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” - plato
We hope you’ll take the time today to notice those around you, and we hope you’ll show them love, even in the smallest way.
You are sons of God.
You are My son, I will always claim you as My own, I am not ashamed to call you My son. I am not ashamed. I wont present My other sons before the prophet but neglect the ruddy one out in the field. I say YOU are My son and I am proud of you. I love you with an everlasting love and My heart burns for you. You can do nothing to make Me love you more than I already do and you can do nothing to make Me love you less. You can’t earn it and you can’t loose it. No longer will you seek love and acceptance from filthy polluted sources, no longer will you have to be complimented time and again to feel affirmed. Hear My voice, I love YOU. I am pleased with you and not because of how hard you work, I am pleased with you because you are My own because you are My offspring. You are noble born of a nonperishable seed called into royalty, and I call the treasure out of your clay. You are not an orphan, I am your father, and I am proud of you simple because you are My son.
Saturday night, I made a choice.
My friend Kari shared with me earlier that week (on Tuesday) that she had been going to hotels In Atlanta and sleeping with people for money, money that she was using to support her drug habit. She then asked me to go with her because she was scared of getting…
I’m crying right now. This is beautiful. And I think exactly what jesus would have done.
This is the greatest thing :’) thank you for loving and being a blessing.
When fear is no more there because it had dissipated in something greater; where the light surrounds me. Though you desire attention you deny His affection and push and push until you are left confused in a doubt that is not true. He has never left you, for He desires all that you are.
And when smoke leaves the ground a short answer, “no” is spoken that leaves you a little naive that fog’s your intellect. There are no compromises when I yield in surrender everything to Your name. I have been unsure of where to go when I know something so beyond my mind. I have no more of a home then to call this place not where I belong. I belong with You and you tell me to accept because nothing will change truth.
When the sky is painted in the most penetrating way that leaves you in blank stare to the words, “How could I not love you when you propose this beauty to me?” When it is in this that I realize its in You that I sustain, in You I am strong, and in You that I have song.

When we believe in God completely (when we understand that His salvation is complete and that His jealous love is REAL), and yet we still go forward and try to “earn” His love with our works, or use His gifts for the selfish desires of our own hearts, when we deny the conviction of the Holy…
this is all I am looking for.
He wants your divine affection and your voluntary will saying, ‘yes I will, I will to the beginning of this I will run with You and only You because this is what I am looking for. you are not lost..you are here.’ His eyes are jealous and lit on fire because you move Him to the degree of hanging on a tree to make a way for you. His hands show of desire beyond what we could understand with an idea or thought. He can not fit in our minds because He expands beyond time and our reasoning. Jesus won this all for His bride because He knew you’d be His; this is your purpose and for that it was worth it all. It is so profoundly simply and yet all it needs is your affirmation to what is at present in your favor.
