Jeremiah was talking to God and said:

God, my strength, my stronghold,
   my safe retreat when trouble descends:
The godless nations will come
   from earth's four corners, saying,
"our ancestors lived on lies,
  useless illusions, all smoke."
Can mortals manufacture gods?
  Their factories turn out no-gods!

Then God replied:

"Watch closely now.  I'm going to teach these wrongheaded people.
  Starting right now, I'm going to teach them
Who I am and what I do,
  teach them the meaning of my name, GOD-- 'I AM".

Amazing words of an amazing God!!!!!!!  None is like Him!!!!!!

Wonts me a man in my life and I ain't ashamed to say it!!!!

We go to church ...we do our best ..but in the man department he is either ....married or just got out of a bad marriage or he is a man who enjoys being alone (go figure) but I've run into them....or he is just not into me....but he likes me alot or he has no job but is working on  it!!!!!  But I do believe there is one who is kind and patiently praying and really looking just for me.

I am Amazed
 Today at 8:27am | Edit Note | Delete
I am Amazed when I wake up each day. A day of new things to accomplish! Excercise, practice my piano, sing and write new songs...go into worship. Yes, I wake up quite early!

These are my priorities as well as lots of laughter and not dwelling on things I cannot control. Most days I listened to a song entitled, "Amazing Love". My baby boy Kelley shared this worship song with me and it blesses me each time I hear it.

I am amazed that I live in a time when the President I voted for will take time to read 10 letters and respond to them but I know of many church leaders with less than 10k members and cannot seem to return calls or answer letters or emails because he/she is just so busy. Makes me wonder if they really do love all the poeple they are called to serve. Our President is a great leader because he serves. He volunteers. He takes time to listen. He admits he is not perfect and lets us see his weaknesses. The day I saw him cry was an amazing day. It reminded me of my Dad. Monroe Ellis Patterson. I thought he was invinceable until the day I looked in his face an watched as the tears rolled down. I was a little girl but I have never, ever forgotten that moment and how it changed me, helped me understand love.
There are times when love gets so full it spills over in tears, in generosity, in adoration, in duty, in deed and in truth. Love speaks in the tumultuous storms of our lives. It seems to come over you like a beach wave. Covering and hovering.

Love is imminent in my world. It is the most important thing. A smile is Universal(yet another element of thought from my youngest). People who love don't lie. They salvage each moment and they are content to be with you without words or touching as along as you are there. People who love don't force...they wait without tapping their foot. They just wait.

Love will make you walk when your car is broken. Love will make you push yourself more and not be lazy. Love will not allow you to blame anyone or anything. Love will allow you time to think and breathe and yes, exhale. Love will give until it dies from giving. Love will hold out it's generous hand and say take all that is here, I want you to have it. I am Amazed how love shows up simple and humble and never turns away. I am Amazed by love.
Me in Black hair....

Current mood:  determined
Category: Life
Anyone who knows me...knows that I enjoy the love side of things.
Conflicts, arguements,rolling eyes, not speaking, judging people is just not my thing!
Sure I've been hurt. Yes, I've wanted to hurt people who have hurt me.  But praying about it was the thing that kept me.  My Mama taught me that very well.  I saw her life and heard her praying in the night and sometimes early morning.  It is in me to keep that legacy going. 

So why am I writing this today?  Because weariness is setting in as my releationships with people broaden.  My Mom used to say to me.  "Melody, you never meet a stranger".  Always greeting people with a smile and a handshake...okay you know me a hug!  Always expecting the best.  That the words we speak will remain between us.  Truly I enjoy the love side of things.  But I am finding that for some they can discuss their lifestyle choice, discuss their horrid situations, talk forever about things that are important to them.  But the minute I talk of Christ; the greatest love of my life.  The minute I began a phrase with "the Lord did", or "the Lord said", or even saying "I am happy" means that my friendships get fewer and my confidants began choosing others.  What is so wrong with love?  GOD IS LOVE. 

He has always been my true confidant.  People change.  With you one day and hurt you the next.  But love will always extends itself.  I wrote a song entitled "Here's what i think" and there is a verse that says "reaching out with my hand exposing my heart".  That is how I do it.  Over and over again....hoping that love will be returned.  I have a lot to write so you might want to take a break now. :)
Even with my children.  Yes, I married young and had them quickly.  Yes, I am now and expert and I do know what I am talking about because I raised 4 of them.  4 prenanacies.  4 toddlers, 4 teenagers who are now 4 of the greatest human beings I'll ever know!  Don't ask me for advice if you are going to flush it down the toilet later!  It doesn't matter, really if you ask me I'll still tell you.  But what is so wrong with love?
I need it.  I cherish the moments of love.  I love the breath of it.  When my children were babies...when they fell asleep in my arms I would listen to them breathe and then match my breath to theirs or as they exhaled I would inhale their precious baby's breath!   It was such a tender moment filled with love all around us.  Being that close to them.  Watching them sleep so soundly.  Then I'd lay them down and go on about my day knowing they were resting and growing.  Many times, I would anoint them with blessed oil.   That is why love is so important to me.  That is why I enjoy being around love and I am quite sensitive when it is only a facade.  Francis Frangipane wrote about it in is book.  Life has taught us as well.  Once you have experience the authentic.  You can tell a fake from afar. 

At the risk of turning you away even more I am going to say it again.  God is Love.  He is more than a lifestyle choice to discuss.  He is love.  He is not a judgement call.  He is LOVE.  He is a wonderful and powerful being that once you give up this world you cannot get enough of HIM.   And HIS LOVE never fails.

I am grateful to be alive.
I am grateful that there is a little girl named Raina on this earth who runs and screams
I am grateful for her father 
and her mother
For a time I had no idea what to do or think or what was expected of me but she has determined now that she is 1 year old
that she likes me
So that love alone is amazing to me...she looks at me and will render a smile or lift her arms so I can pick her up....right now I am challenged but hopefully ...soon I can purchase ...something really grand for her.  She like bannanas and good food....cookies and cakes....potatoe salad....When I gave her jello she looked up at me and smiled and there it was the most precious face.....eyes filled with wonder and feet kicking out for 'more Jello please!' LOL!
 
I feel I am too young to be called Grandma.  So I will decide before she is 12 what she can call me officially. 
I enjoy the fact that she loves to bang pot tops and eats or tries to eat the plastic water bottles....she is funny....
I only wish my mother could see her and that my daughter could spend a little more time with her.....
perhaps my mother can....see her through the eyes of God. 
Perhaps my daughter will just look at Facebook or they will chat on SKYPE as she gets older!  How neat is that!
God I am so happy right now.....
