Stop...Listen... Behold...Believe... In what He is declaring...

  Where then does wisdom come from? 
                               Where does understanding dwell?

" It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing, concealed even from the birds in the sky. 
God understands the way to it, and he alone knows where it dwells, for he views the ends of the earth
   and sees everything under the heavens. When he established the force of the wind and measured out the waters."
                          ^{And when I read this coming part.. I was blown away...}
" When he made a decree for the rain  and a path for the thunderstorm, then he looked at wisdom and appraised it... He confirmed it...... and tested it." Job 28: 26-27
                 
                   Our G.O.D  is the best Artist in the whole world.
 He draws up drops of water, which distill as rain from the mist,  which the clouds drop down and pour abundantly........... on MAN.

"He said to the human race,
    fear of the Lord—that is wisdom  "

  " Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter, and former rain unto the earth. "  

                             Hosea 6:3

                     I enjoyed your visit J.E.S.U.S

                    I  treasured our conversation Heavenly Father.

Something unexpected. Do I have a song of thanksgiving?

 Jesus has been stretching  my faith, my love and my walk with Him. But also, He is doing it with my possessions, or should I say... His possessions.   To be honest, I am glad  He takes his precious time to invest in my  character & life; Even when it is hard and painful, but yet... He has declared victory. He wants me to be victorious. Therefore, it has been a huge relief to have Him as the  Rock of my Salvation......  I believe, if  I did not  have God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit in my life.... I would be lost, and so wrong.

Over this last weekend,  Dad and Mom kept telling me.......that there was something I needed to know. But they were praying  how to say it & when to share it.

Knowing this fact,  I felt SO anxious;  I thought in so many things that  my Parents could share with me. ... but never thought of what I was about to hear on Tuesday night. 

The words of  my Parents still ring over my head:
" Leslie,  Yogui has passed away, a car went over him  "~  

I just..... I just.....
 could not believe it..   
My little dog..?  
My buddy of 11 years,  died because of a car?...
I was in shock...
The car didn't stop to help my brother,  in fact the driver kept going..
In my nature, I wanted to say : "why ?     "how could that be possible?  "  
I am glad God created  "tears  ", it is Ok to cry,   see...I did cry  & a.l.o.t. However, one thing  I can be sure, through those tears, I was able to feel G.O.D. even more.  Having Jesus, just challenges me and gives me a different prospective of life. Through  this situation, I was able to have a song, a sweet melody, expressing the word ~ " Thank you ".   All this days, I have been remembering  all the good times that Yogui and I spent together, all the funny  and unique things he used to do, like, when  he  wanted to be with me all the time!!  he even  liked to play  soccer.....  Man.....
  His presence will be so missed.

 This last Wednesday,  we had thunderstorms in Chicago.  I k.n.o.w God created that day.... just to encourage me...  I  immensely love the rain,  ah,  it was SO precious.  So, I  decided to walk back home, it was late, it was dark and cold outside, .... but, guess what?... I got wet,  and I loved it!  I believe that every thunder I heard that night,  it was like God was inspiring every single part of me.   On that day, I established other kind of relationship with the One who spoke with power. I cannot explain it, but I felt  like He was walking next to me, saying  ....  ~' Sing to me with your whole heart Leslie !  '   '' can you sing with me Leslie?, can you praise my Name? ' ....  I believe every person have their own way to praise their Creator.  It is like a secret of love, between you and your Great Shepherd.......  Every day,  I learn something new, it  doesn't matter how big or how small is the situation, for our great Master, the Author and   Finisher of our faith,  everything is important.....Every situation in life,  is preparing us for E.t.e.r.n.i.t.y......   Serve the Lord with gladness, come before His presence with ..............Singing.

This morning, during Staff Meeting,I was able to say as Job quoted..

" The Lord has given, the Lord has taken.... Blessed be YOUR Name   "
I am so grateful for all the valuable lessons that my little Yogui taught me through out his life.        One thing you can know about my Yogui....  
  He was a beautiful creation of God~
