"Ten-Four! I'm in position Lord, in the field lookin straight at the enemy. I'm in the frontline. Lord? Instructions desired - quicken it to my spirit please."
Ten-Four! as in Ecclesiastes 10:4 // How I laughed, all the way home one day when I recognized what had happened. How much more did I laugh when I checked for that mornings verse the Lord had taken me too, and saw that it was numbered "10:4" Just like a call on the walkie talkie in the middle of a wwii battle.
That morning, I was about to go for a second time to my landlord's office (subsidized rental). I was coming with receipts to show that they did indeed owe me for rent due to my decreased income. The first visit, the admin assistant had firmly told me no. // THat morning, my reading took me to Ecclesiastes 10:4 / My NIV words it this way:
If the spirit of a ruler rises up against you, do not leave your post; calmness can lay great errors to rest. - Eccles 10:4 (NIV)
Well, when I came to that verse, I looked up from my bible in reverie, kind of considering and imagining this as a scenario before me. "Hmm!", I thought." I can see that!"
I wasn't even thinking of my own battle ahead, with this admin assistant, who was somewhat of a hothead. // Well, then - I was later face to face with mr. HH, 'I once again told him my reason for being there - calmly, short, and to the point - no animosity. // He began a barrage of words with a vavaciousness that astounded me, "I'm not giving you the months rent. I've been working here for XXX years. ... I .... I ... and furthermore..... ..........!!!!" His very white complexion was red from exertion. // When he was finished (I laugh as I think of it once again.), I just stood there, quiet, without a word, for a span of a good 60 seconds. Though I assure you, I felt calm and not angry, I was thinking as I looked upon him, "What a foolish man," // Well, the minute passed. Not more than a minute it was. And the man, who had just barraged me with words to state firmly that I wasn't getting a rent return - well, he opened his mouth again, and he said, " I'll give you a reimbursement. // THis was so shocking and extremely unusual and unexpected, after his barrage, that I asked him to confirm what he had said, "Did you just say that you would give me my rent back?" "Yes", he repeated, I'll give you a reimbursement. And, I received a full reimbursement as per my requested amount for the last month's rent. // Well, I'm telling you - I was in a fit of laughter all the 20 minute walk home after that. I was imagining him wondering looking up into space after my leaving, wondering what had just transpired. What had caused him to grant me my request. I was also visualizing angels around his head, with arrows aimed at his forehead, shooting right smack dab into the frontal lobe! (Just like David did to kill Goliath). // As I said, my first will, as I got home, was to rush to read that verse that had arrested my thinking once more. AND, when I saw the numbers TEN - FOUR! I was in hilarity once again, picturing myself fullly in a field, with walkie talkie, calling on the Lord, letting him know I was in positionk, and needing his air attack on the enemy stronghold. /// I've seen that several times in my walk with the Lord - how he honors a firm decision. For instance honoring me with a blessing when I quickly reverted a thought to give a 'little white lie', to help my case. Although, i would give such situations no further thought, I then found myself blessed with unusual but grand results.
God IS good, and a very present help in need! BLESSINGS TO YOU, Sylvie! God is WITH you, to help you in your hour of need.
10:4 If the wrath of the ruler is against you, keep in your place; in him who keeps quiet even great sins may be overlooked.
10:4 If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place, for deference will make amends for great offenses.
10:4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
10:4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for gentleness allayeth great offences.

7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 7:2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
Keep your head up. God bless you. |

Perfect - what was important to God right then was your child. What ever we want our child to be we have to be! A woman of God - well then she saw one! She actually had an object lesson on self-control - which makes a woman beautiful. She saw Christian faith which is pleasing to the One we call Father and she saw "love". Talk is cheap -- Good job Mom! Yeah it was God -- But it was love for God that made you pray all those hours, read all those verses over and over and over and give money, time, tears and songs and laughter ------ He built you for times like these! You were made for this Cheryl! You and I were made to worship Him, serve Him and nuture children and love and be helpmeet for a man. We were made for this - He did NOT make you to be alone! Or to continue in this season of pursuit- YOU are NOT the pursued!!!!!!!! YOU do the pursuing -- do you got in you in for a little while yet? Like Peter - the Lord told him to let down his nets - he said, Lord we tried that! NO fish -- NEVERTHELESS at THY WORD - I will let down my nets -- You got a lot of 1 more times you! oooh feel that down in your spirit! That is the fire of God to turn and look at the devil square in the face and tell him with the Authority of God! BACK OFF-- Like Tina - man she's got it -- STEP AWAY FROM THE SON! The LORD rebuke you satan! Stay away from her child NOW -- He is not going to get her - he is NOT going to steal her - he is NOT going to rip her from you! NO! STEP ON THAT SNAKE. Provision, courage, joy, harvest, - is YOURS - He died for it. Sweety - I know you are not a novice- I know you know these things. But sometimes we need some one else to JUST THROW IT OUT THERE so we can YES! and grab on - RAW FAITH-- This is my deal -- this is my passion -- one of them- CHILDREN! Yours, Tina's and Becky's anyones , mine anybody's! It is time for this terrorist activity - to stop in your life. This is terrorism! I love you Cheryl - you can like I always say --- just delete it - if itn't a help to you -- I still will love you and pray-- and won't be hurt. SHOW SOME TEETH MOMMA -- MORE - YOU HAVE IT IN YOU! I know you do. GRRRRRRR---- and a MUAH!!!!!!! 
Go get em MOMMA! (not surprised - Walmart - needs a prayer vilgil at every location!) We are with you! |

|
| Way to go Cheryl...Sometimes we have to just hold our peace and let THE LORD fight our battles ;o) |

To answer your first question of have you ever been pushed to your limits coupled with pressing the right buttons, the answer is yes. Furthermore, when people push you to your limits, they push you even more. As for waving stuff in my face? Yes I've had that too.
The thing about it is Cheryl, 20 - even 10 years ago I may have reacted towards it, but now - I don't. In actual fact, only a couple of weeks ago someone came up to me at work and said something. I just raised my eyebrows and smiled, because what they said to me was not new news - and they wanted me to react. It was something that I've had to deal and live with in one form or another throughout my life. Its like I said in one of your other blogs. Have the skin of a rhino, but a heart that's tender towards God. Another way of putting it, you've got to have feathers like a duck, because when it hits the water it don't sink - because its feathers are waterproofed. The thing I'm trying to get across is, if people allow everything to get to them - they'll sink. You know, we know and I know what you've been through and are going through, and the one thing you believe in - is the one thing that's keeping you afloat. Don't allow the enemy to sink you. You're tougher than them, smarter than them - and in some instances bigger than them, and what you've been through could sink them in a heartbeat. I could even say you've grown up in front of people's eyes in a very short period of time compared to most people. You've not only learned to live the life, but the value of life. Anyway, nuff said. Just keep on keepin on Cheryl. Life can be tough, but you can make it one day at a time. |

| Good job, Cheryl, not answering the lady in the same manner she approached Ashley and then you. You walked after the Spirit and did not fulfill the lusts of the flesh--my flesh would have lusted to put the woman in her place. |

Oh Cheryl
(((KISS))) (((HUG)))
I'm so sorry. |
