A Prayer for Today, and for our Future
Posted by: chelan on: November 8, 2009
This is something I wrote this morning while I was supposed to me paying attention to the teacher @ church…but he kept saying things that made me think…and then I just started writing…
Spirit of the living God
Apprehend me
I’m calling out to you, gurgling my request
From this thick pool of pride
About to submerge me.
Sweet Spirit of the living God,
Apprehend me!
Whip me around, get down on my level
Look in my eyes and speak with the fullness
Of your strength and subtlety.
Touch me inside
With your discerning love.
Point me in the way of my destiny,
Designed by your Word from before time began.
Impart your power that changes my life
That changes a life…that changes a life
That changes a church
That changes a city
That brings back a NATION to its founding truths!
“This Jesus”~ a Christmas Song of How Miracles Still Happen Today
Posted by: chelan on: November 7, 2009
He was conceived
Would you believe, of a virgin?
A star in the east
Lead men to the King of all kings
***
Visions of old,
Prophecies told of a Savior
Whose blood would now cleanse
All men of their sins. And forgive
Miracles … They still happen today
Just in a different time & a different way
Chorus:
(Well,) That baby grew to…
Change the tune of a world-song
From life to death to…life again
It’s chorus still remains:
This Jesus…There’s
Somethin’ to this Jesus
Because of prayer
My depression took flight as I started to dance
If unaware
I’d-a given the credit to meds… or to chance
***
marriage was through
Infidelity robbed us, & left us for dead
We had to move
With no job for 8 mo.s, but had our daily bread
Miracles … yes, they still happen today;
Just in a different time and in a different way
Chorus:
(Cause) my … Jesus grew to -
Change the tune of a world-song
From life to death to…life again
It’s chorus still remains:
This Jesus…There’s
Somethin’ to this Jesus (x2)
Miracles … They still change lives today
Just in a different time and in a different way
Miracles … They still change lives today
If we believe and we step out in faith! Faith in…
This Jesus…There’s still
Somethin’ to this Jesus (x2)

Get it Out – a lil poem about crying
Posted by: chelan on: November 3, 2009
When I cry, its not for long
It’s just to get it out
The stewing of my heart ache
the restlessness, the doubt
And when I’ve had my party
filled w/pity, self, & weeping,
I dry my eyes & find my coffee;
th’microwave is beeping
How Does He Speak?
Posted by: chelan on: October 30, 2009
Just reading 1Kings 19 tonight, about Elijah, and how God spoke to him.
Most of the time, when we Christians think of God speaking to an old testament figure, it’s with this booming, overbearing, low-pitch voice & high reverb. “…THUS SAYETH THE LORD (ord,ord)”. Read the rest of this entry »
Halloweenies – a recipe for a spookie appetizer
Posted by: chelan on: October 28, 2009
This recipe is from Pillsbury. But here’s my rendition! I made them last yr. and then again last week. Ricky said, “thanks, mummy”! If you’d like to make this hit w/your family too, all you do is…
- Buy a (8 oz) flaky crust sheet of dough & cut it into strips (or Croissants, but they’re hard to press into one sheet before cutting),1 pkg of Little Sausages (or, 24 hot-dogs-in-half, if that’s all you got), & 1/2 c. of Dijon Mustard w/1 TB Oregano mixed in (or, my son would not dip his in this, but devoured them, dipped in honey). Heat oven to 350.
- What to do: Wrap those little weenies w/the dough strips, like they’re mummies (with an exposed spot for eyes, & cook em in the oven til brown (15-20 min.’s). Afterwards, let cool a bit & dot eyes using mustard!
A Braysay… about Halloween Costumes
Posted by: chelan on: October 26, 2009
Last night, Braylon & I were discussing what zoo animal we would choose to keep as a pet in our backyard. I said, “how ’bout an anteater, so he could eat all the fire ants in the yard?!”. He replied in a most intelligent way,
“people dress up as ants. you know, some people dress up for Halloween as what they’re allergic to.”
I said, “well, that would be be pretty messy if Brady dressed up as cottage cheese!” I kept coming up w/silly allergic costumes till he stopped me,
“that’s not funny anymore.”
A minute later, he grabbed my hand tight into his, pulled it close to his pillow, quietly said, “I love you, mommy”, & fell asleep.
