| hooray, good news! I officially was able to fix my xanga site. One day, it just allowed me to see it, and to see my look and feel option. Its too bad, when I finally saw the layout, it really was pretty. But, that's ok. Not worth it. So now, I have two xangas: this one, and www.xanga.com/jenileesamuel . So, take your pick, but I will probably be migrating to abandoning this one, and using that one since its under my name instead of this vague one. It will be easier for others to find me. Catch ya later! | | |
| URGENT!! PLEASE READ!! I had to create a new xanga page due to this poor choice of a xanga layout. I can't see any of my profile options or friends or anything. So, since i have been crippled on my page, I had to create a new one, and it is: http://www.xanga.com/Jenileesamuel Its pretty easy to identify me now!  Anyways... please add my new page to your friends, as I am starting from scratch again, and I don't want to lose contact with anyone. Thank you! Also, if you do myspace and would like to be my myspace friend, my myspace page is: www.myspace.com/jenileenoel . I would love to see you there too! Thanks, Jenilee Samuel (Lott) | | |
| Shoot...I put up this terrible myspace layout, and I can't see anything on it, and because I can't see, I can't find my "look and feel" to change it. Crappy. Sorry for the bad layout... and I can't figure out how to change it. oh no.... how do I do it? anyone know? a little help! | | |
| So, as I sat down with the Lord this afternoon and began to ask him about this next year, to share with me some secrets, he began to form this prophecy in my spirit, so here it is... "This year. What is this year, Holy Spirit? How might I prepare myself for it? I sense that this year is a year of JUBILEE, of celebration, of rejoicing. That there will be battles, but battles easily won as the Lord opens his hand and pours out great grace, supernatural enabling, over our nation. They will be battles greatly fought by PRAISE AND PROCLAMATION. Some of these battles have been carrying on for some time, but there will be great and numerous breakthroughs as there is a loud and confident cry of praise lifted up throughout the Church. Praise and proclamation will resound and be the consistent precursor to great victories and freedoms. May the Word be mightily and readily on our tongues as I believe we will see our spoken words eastablish more in the natural and spiritual realms than we have seen before. I believe there will be a great move of ONENESS spread throughout the church in this year, and that oneness will only prove to ACCELERATE AND MULTIPLY the effectiveness and potency of the church moving in the power of God in this day. I see a smile on God's face. Almost a mischievous smile. A smile of readiness and willingness and good pleasure in releasing such increase throughout the church. He is holding his hand up, ready. Just ask. Ask him to open his hand and pour out what he holds for us. Increase in anointing, in finances, in oneness on all levels of relationship, in intimacy with Him, in simplicity, in faith, in "pure and faultless religion", in peace. A great increase in the church reflecting Jesus, and the heart of God rather than religiosity. God is smiling expectantly... and so shall we! So be it! Rise up, Church! FIll your mouths with Praise, for He is robed in MAJESTY! Praise Him! Praise Him, and rejoice, for he has done great things for us! There is a sound of Praise and the Proclamation of the Word sweeping into the church. THis is the day of the dance. The victory dance. The Father is bringing in the dance! " Amen! | | |
| So, judah was sitting on the floor in the living room giggling at me as I made faces at him, so I decided to reach toward him to see if he'd try to crawl to me, though he doesn't crawl yet. Well, he saw me reach, and got real excited, leaning forward,clearly wanting to come, but as each second progressed, the excitement on his face became disappointed frustration that he just coldn't figure out how to close the distance between us. So, I came closer, about two feet from him, arms outstretched encouraging him to come to me. He got excited again, realizing we were almost arm in arm, but his face soon evolved again to that familiar disappointment, as he still couldn't figure out how to come to me, despite his desire. I inched closer, so I was just within reach, and with everything in him, he leaned as far forward as he could, arms stretched far across the floor in front of him, reaching desperately for me, fingertips just touching my hands. The brief contact seemed to infuse him with more determination to pull me into his own arms. As his fingers touched mine, he crawled down my hands (really, I was the one moving, but in his own heart, he was running at me) and gripped the sides of my hands and just pulled my arms in towards him in a huge open armed embrace, until I could do nothing but pick him up and hold him in my lap. Oh man, talk about melting my heart. And then I thought, what a great picture of how it is with God. We may desire him so deeply, and long to be face to face with him, but yet be unsure how to move TOWARDS him, and so with arms outstretched, and squeals of desire caught in our throats, we depend solely on him coming to us first, in his deep parental understanding that we haven't yet figured out how to close the space between us. But you know, he is thrilled to help us learn. wHen all we can do is reach and long, about the time we get frustrated with disappointment, he draws nearer, to infuse new hope. See, sometimes when we get frustrated with God's distance, its not that he is keeping away from us, he's trying to help us learn to crawl. If I didn't leave space between me and Judah at times, he would get lazy, expecting me to do all the work, never learning how to pursue someone he loves. God is desiring to teach us the same. How to pursue him, because, after all, he is a person, and he sometimes wants to be pursued too. So next time you get frustrated at his silence, or seeming distance, picture that he is just standing a little out of reach, arms outstretched, progressively teaching you to crawl... right into his arms. How sweet it is to be loved by Him. | | |
