salt:

a soil amendment that turns piles of manure into fertile soil.

salt also is a catalyst that tempers wildly inappropriate (excess) activity of zume.

Not long ago, the Holy Spirit nominated me a Salty Mother. It is my honor and cross to daily be at attention, using whatever crap shows up to amend the soil of my children's hearts. This is incredible mass to be converted into living, fertile substance for future fruitfulness! 

The Greek word δόξα (doxa) conveys weight, substance, and divine quality.

It is the glory of God in the body, in nature and in food that particularly attracts my attention. Being salt means for me, the weight, the substance, the divine quality that renders yeast into substantial fuel, and any challenge into discipleship, by taking on the yoke of Jesus Christ.

Greek word ἐπαισχύνομαι (epaischunomai) conveys ashamedness, a proper sense of error due to wrongly identifying, or misplaced confidence
With this confession, I'm here to take the piles of dung that have accumulated in my brain as far as food and the body, (human knowledge) and convert it into fertile mass AND nourishment for others. May my own idolatry (yeast) and confrontation of it (salt) become a living fuel (compost AND/OR bread) that nourishes multitudes. In my children, it is the soil I'm continually working. In the Kingdom outside my home, I am just Peter taking bread from Jesus and confidently giving it to the hungry crowd, knowing that the Source will never, ever run out. "Feed my lambs, feed my sheep"

In the yeast application, it is the diligent act of constantly tempering overgrowths. In the body, an overgrowth of yeast creates sickness. This overgrowth is fed by indulgence. 

This morning, a word to me:

If it is my desires inhibiting me from integral, engaged discipleship of my children, I am under the yoke of self-indulgence.

If it is what I think I "should" do inhibiting me from integral, engaged discipleship of my children, I am under the yoke of religion.

These two yokes are the constant bubbling activity that I have to engage my mind in order to temper.
My sin, the manure heap that repentance converts into substance for future fruitfulness.

Without confrontation, there is no fruit.
Idolatry and confidence cannot cohabit.

I longed for satiety, full confidence and ability to love unashamedly and without fear of lack. My idols kept that from becoming a reality.

What the Holy Spirit confronted in me was my wrongly placed identification and confidence in physical health, wellness, and food. All of these were shadows. His confrontation activated my vision to the truth and introduced me to the substance. 
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen."

He did this so that by Christ, He Himself would fully satisfy every craving for pleasure, beauty and wisdom.

I can't wait to introduce you to all the wonderful things I have been offered!

Power and Protection

  This morning, as I thanked  יהוה ‎  for His perfect knowledge and order in knitting together the new person within my womb a scripture from Proverbs came to mind: “The Lord by wisdom founded the earth, By understanding He established the heavens.”  Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬  Then this morning, the Spirit took me to Jeremiah, & I heard this echo:  “It is He who made the earth by His power, Who established the world by His wisdom; And by His understanding He has stretched out the heavens.”  Jeremiah‬ ‭10‬:‭12‬ ‭‬ As the only One competent and capable of creating the heavens and the earth, designed the human body in its completeness and all life and symbiotic relationships between every living thing, isn’t it preposterous to believe that He should need our supervision ensuring His work is good?  ““Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker— An earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth! Will the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you doing?’ Or the ...

Legalism

Have we inherited a false definition of legalism? When Abba says to His people: "I want to bless you with long life and health, therefore do this" --and they honor that Word, is it legalism, or wisdom and reciprocal love to obey? (Read Psalm 119 with this in mind) For the commandment is a lamp ; and the law is light ; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life : Proverbs 6:23 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 1 John 5:3 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 2 John 1:6 Test this: what was the leaven of the Pharisees? Wasn't it legalism?       "Now the Pharisees and some of the Torah scholars who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Yeshua. And they saw that some of His disciples were eating bread with unclean hands, that is, not washed. (For the Pharisees and all Jewish people do not eat u...

yada

Yesterday, The Word nourished me deeply by rendering several things that I've been ruminating! Many streams of hearing The Word keep repeating one Word: know I was encouraged by a faithful teacher to simply read the Torah. Every king in ancient Israel was commanded to make their own copy, that they would learn to fear YHWH . As I began in Genesis yesterday, it came to my mind that Abram knew  YHWH, he was familiar with Him already, so he approached Him by name when he approached the three men!  Yesterday, as Drew left for work, he reminded our daughter to care for one of our ewes that seems to be ailing somewhat. The day was full of excitement, and so it was, that it was late afternoon when I asked if she had completed her father's instruction. She said "no, I forgot". I related it to The Word, how we can make excuses about life being busy and full, and we forget to obey our Father. In fact, this Word I'm sharing is one such thing--Satan is biting at my heels as w...
