And So it Begins

New York now has a Muslim mayor. The ideologies of Islam do not fit in the Western world...I truly wonder what will happen, it definitely feels like this is going to turn quickly into widesptread freaky stuff. I wonder how many other Muslims are in control of cities, towns, states or provinces in North America. At the same time chaos seems to be increasing in the world, my personal world is getting more simple. I deleted my Facebook account at midnight last night and started setting up my dumbphone. I'm laughing today though because somehow while setting things up I locked my SIM card and now I have to wait until tomorrow to unlock it at the store. I have been feeling Abba calling me to unplug for a few years...okay, since 2020 and it's taken this long to get brave enough to do it. What changed? I had to make a choice. I had to get off the fence. Do I choose my own comforts and pleasures or do I choose to truly focus on Abba? I'm ready to lay it all down. I know HIS way is the best way, all I can do is obey. And to obey with joy in my heart. It felt really good as I hesitated and really asked myself if I was ready to delete Facebook...and I was...I am. I downloaded everything I needed. It was just time to cut ties and focus on who/what is in front of me. I'm excited about what Abba has in store for me and my family. This is just one step in becoming the living sacrifice Abba requires of His followers...He doesn't ask everyone to give up Facebook, each one of us has different areas of our lives that He is asking us to lay down. For me, it was Facebook and alcohol. What is He asking you to surrender?

New Beginnings

Image
I've got to say, I really like new beginnings. It's the end of the 7th Biblical month and even though it's kind of the middle of the year, it's the beginning of the new Torah cycle all around the world. We have the opportunity to read it anew and learn more with each cycle, going a bit deeper each year we read through it. As a family, we've read through the Torah portion at least 10 times, but we haven't read through the entire Bible that many times. This year we are reading every night after supper and following the BYNA reading plan found HERE Also new to us (not brand new, but it's been a long time), is that we are hosting Shabbats in our home. I kept getting asked if there was a Shabbat group in town and I would always say, "no, we drive 1hr-2hrs away to join one." Well, that's just not realistic anymore. If there is a need in town for a Shabbat group, AWESOME!!! We'll open our home until we are too big and then we'll find a bi...

Battles

There is such a huge battle going on. While it is in fact invisible most of the time, there comes a time when it DOES become visible and that is often unsettling. I think that is why North America is the way it is. Set-Apart Believers from almost all denominations out there have turned their eye from anything unlovely and just discards it. I am guilty of this myself. I took Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely,, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things." to a legalistic level. I not only used it as my guideline for entertainment (which I think is the appropriate use for this verse) but I also used it as a way to set boundaries for myself. I rejected those people who were struggling in areas and were not seeking live to a holy lifestyle. I look back now, and Abba kn...

The Bible From a Medical Perspective/Medicine From a Biblical Perspective-Dr Strydom

Image
After a year of going through the many videos and reading through the articles and book by Dr. MK Strydom, I'm finally at a point where it's time to put what I have been learning into practice. I've been sharing on Facebook a lot of the things I've been learning and that has generated some great conversations! But the bottom line is, I/we need to die to our fleshly desires if we want our lamp filled with oil and to have extra to last until Yeshua returns. I now understand why we can't share our oil with others, all I can do is encourage others to take the journey of sanctification along with me. All the videos for her conference are found on Youtube here, She has other videos on her Youtube channel as well regarding End Times, but I truly do think that that subject is a distraction from intimacy with Abba. He unveils various different patterns in Scripture to each of us, and because of the variety of our backgrounds, there is just as must variety in our interpre...
