Eye to Eye

Wonder what Jesus eyes are

Oh Savior of the world

What color are your eyes 

Are they blue as the seas 

You spoke on

Giving lessons for us 

To lean on

Oh Savior, Son of the Father

Eyes you sees through you

Green as trees 

You spoke about bearing fruit

What color are they?

Oh Savior with children

On your lap

Did your eyes twinkle?

As those precious children

Tell you the stories of their best friends

A spark lighting your eyes

Reaching your smile

Oh Precious Savior

Oh Savior child

Mary's son

Who traveled over the desert

To be born you in the stable

Are your eyes brown

As the sand under your mother's feet

When she walked 

With Her Lord, Your Father

Oh Savior nailed to the cross

With tears in your eyes

Asking for our forgiveness

Did you lose your sparkle?

That decorated your eye

While you gave up your life

What color were your eyes?

Red from tears 

Did your eyes brighten up

Oh Savior ascending in front of eyes

Out of the empty tomb

Jesus, Are your eyes Hazel?

Reflecting ourselves back at us

Sparkles hints

Sea of blue, green as the trees

And brown of sand

Peeking out in the sparkles

As you look upon us

Oh Savior, heart full of love

What color are your eyes?

For it is all about you

Guess we won't know 

The eye color of you, the Savior

Until You invite me

Into the Golden Gates

Seeing you Face to Face

Eye to Eye

Valentine Little Debbie's Cakes

So the year is coming to the end, Christmas has only pasted a few days ago. Guess what...I saw in Walmart today?? I spied little Debbie's "be mine" cakes in their red, pink, and white glory. The Christmas cakes just ran out in clearance section and the Valentine cakes are in their place. Go up a few aisles and half of one side of the candy section, I spied heart covered red, pink, and white candy bags and boxes. Thankfully that is the only places I spotted that in the store.

Everything in the stores and around us is about moving into the future. Think about the future what are you planning for the next day. I have never seen the movie, Click. From what I have gathered from people who have watched it is Adam S.'s character used this magic clicker (he gets somewhere) to fast forward, pause, and slow down parts of his life. He fast forwards to get a promotion after promotion. When the climate hit he realized everything he missed on by fast forwarding with his family.Where he lost all of them. I am not sure how the movie ends but I would not be surprised if he got to rewind his life and change it.  

That is... the beauty and power of movies. In the fictional world there is a chance to go back. For us there is no chance to go back. There is a question that is posed on some of the Asian dramas I watch. "What you would do if you could begin your life again?" Those questions always perplexed me for you can change something about your life now.  

A life cannot begin again with Jesus Christ and you cannot start from the very beginning. There is a warning in Jesus teachings that is not to worry in Matthew 6:34 about not worrying about the future.  Days can be spent thinking about the future wasting the perfectly good day now.

As you start the new year create a goal whether its giving up pop or soda, giving up sweets, or start reading the bible everyday. 

Take it one day at a time. 

Shopping for gifts

Brothers and Sisters,

It has been a while since I posted and I have many things running through my mind. I apologize ahead of time for some scatters. A lot of stuff happening in the world around us in the last few days with Christmas so near and year drawing to a close. 

A Food for thought: "...because the Bible says so and not because we (Christians) or Phil Robertson says so" --Karen Scism

The days till Christmas are 4 or 3 days away. Earlier this Friday evening, I was walking through Madel's looking for ideas for gifts and things were popping out at me.  The 'things' were not gift ideas but things I felt compelled to get and read.
Books like

• Bible in America by :with everything that is going on in this country from the ever-changing Obamacare, the social rampage of Social groups and the entire too silent Christian community 
• 5 Love Languages of Children by Gary:  The desire that fills me everyday to understand the people around me. I want to read all the 5 love languages books but this sparked my interest more than others. The future is unknown but learning these would prepare a heart for others.
• God has a plan for your life: Embracing Change by Freeman-Smith: For the last year or so this has been my theme through out my life and trying to make a sense of the plan from day to day. 
• He Walks Among Us: Encounters with Christ in a Broken World by Richard Stearns:  this book hit closer to home for it is a Photography along with stories a grappling sense. Things like this inspire me. 
• Kissing Kate: A story of rentless love and redemption by Katie Davis: Real life stories inspiring us to move.
• The Lamb's Agenda by Samuel R.:  

These are some of the books that popped out of me for my reading list in the future that will help shape me. 

In Christ's Love, 

Evynn
