“Treasure Trove of Information”

Hannah Michaela 2 Comments 

' Israel lives in safety, the fountain of Jacob is quite secure, 
in a land of grain and new wine; indeed, its heavens rain down dew. 
You have joy, Israel! Who is like you? 
You are a people delivered by the Lord , 
your protective shield and your exalted sword. 
May your enemies cringe before you; may you trample on their backs.'

Deuteronomy 33:28-29 NET

As I read the Book of Deuteronomy and 
At the end of Moses life
He gives blessings to the people of Israel 

One cannot help but be very thankful to our Lord 
Jesus Christ through Him we all have this blessing 
Happy are us, who come to our God 
In the name of the Lord Jesus

Grace and peace to you from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wow, another week has started and I am delighted you can drop by. It is the beginning of August and soon we will start to see Christmas themes. 

Welcome to my vault, hope you had a good weekend? For me wow is what I can say…

On Saturday, spur of the moment. 
A friend invited me to come along to Lavender Garden and 
I was just glad I did and it was just amazing. 

As I walked down the lane between the beds 
The sweet smell of aroma fills my norsil 
As I lie on the floor looking at the sky
The smell surrounds me 
The bees and the butterflies goes by 
It was pure magical to be surrounded by beds of lavender, Imagine that

So Looking at the sky 
One cannot help but bask in the beauty that surrounds us 
The beauty of our God who created the flowers 
The sweet aroma of smell that captives my senses
 
My eyes look at the sky and the lavender plants around me
My nose smells the sweet fragments 
My ears hears the bees as they roam around 
The footsteps and laughs of the people 
What more beauty can define who the Lord is  

The Lord our God will dwell in the dark cloud
For He has built a temple in our hearts 
Through Christ Jesus we are a place that He can dwell in forever
Now therefore be courageous and walk in the land of the living

For the Lord our God is good
And His mercy endures forever

Well it will not be England if it didn’t rain
So we had loads of rain

Now today is another day
It is the First Monday of the month of August and 
today is a day as any other day to give thanks 
God is wonderful and no one like Him 
He hears our prayer and 
He has chosen you and I for Himself as the house of sacrifice
It blows my mind when I think of what the Lord has done, does and will always do

I sometimes forget it is not about me but about God. 
We live in His world and He is the Maker, what more to say. 
The Battle is already won 
We fight on the winning side 
Smile and be joyful in the Lord

When he shuts the Heavens 
There will be no rain 
Nothing you and I can do about it 
So be glad that you have life 

We have a compassionate God 
Who is slow to anger and abundant in Love

Lord, You have been our shelter in all generations

True Wisdom only comes from the Lord 
Seek it and you will find 
Value it and you will not be disappointed
The Lord our God is also a God of Justice
He will punish the wicked 
For no one will escape the day of judgement
Guard your heart above all else 

Worship the Lord in Spirit and truth 
It is better to have little with the fear of the Lord 
Than to have great treasure and an inner turmoil

I tell you the truth, 
Be wise and seek God’s will 
Be hungry for His knowledge 
Sit and worship Him in Spirit and truth 
For fools feeds on trash 
And that only brings turmoil and troubled heart
So I say be wise 
Meditate on His words daily 
He is closer than you think

I Love the Lord
I do Love the Lord 
He Loves me first
He loves me
He loves me

Thank you for stopping by it means a lot to me.

Pray you have a wonderful week 🙂
We cannot control what happens around us, 
but we can control our responses.
Be bless and know that the Lord loves you

And I also pray that this verse refreshes you this week: 
'However, 
I consider my life worth nothing to me; 
my only aim is to finish the race and 
complete the task the Lord Jesus has given 
me—the task of testifying to the 
good news of God’s grace. '
Acts 20:24 NIV

Walking into the unknown

Hannah Michaela 2 Comments 
He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy 
And to walk humbly with your God?

Micah 6:8 NKJV

Life in the Unknown world continues… Welcome to the world of walking into unknown places and life is no different.

The story continues…

Stepping back as he walked to the door, now he knew that she was hiding something but what? That was the real question. She has all she needs to create the weapon and he has the manpower to keep an eye on her. 

Looking back at the first time she was kidnapped, she has definitely grown on him and indeed proved to be more valuable than any of the others. If she wants an escape, he needs to do what has to be done to protect his asset.

Getting to the door, he reaches his mind out and begins to wander off into old and familiar circles. He didn’t mind that, he had agreed to never mixed business and pleasure. 

The gods had won him to not get involved with the women. They seem to be his downfall, and all have the same emotions as he did. He had let his emotions get the better of him. He had been immortal before, and now fallen due to his lack of self control and power to dominate and control the world. He was just as vulnerable as all of them. He can now die and burn and feel emotions and love which seems to him the worst curse of all. 

It is so strange that love seems cruel of all, she doesn’t seem to know the effect and power she has more than Amiya. She is now a daughter and a friend taking care of her since she was a child had grown in him. She will certainly be the death of him and that seems to not bother him. 

He closed his eyes and sent out a mental call to her to check that he can still communicate with her. 

Cassa, as she answered. Apprehensive at first and scared. We are good, he added. It’s a bit late to be making friends now.

Everything is moving so fast, she continued..,

Oh? What do you mean?

Things are just happening and I can’t seem to think quickly or keep up with it. You know my feet just touched the water and now I am swimming, well more like drowning. Keeping with her was more than he could do and not laugh at the same time.

For the first time he appreciated her honesty in the mental world. He looked at her playing with her fingers, head down and…

You are right! He heard himself speak before he could think. What has gone into him? 

Things are moving fast, to tell you the truth I have to do something or else I will lose all that I have worked for and that includes you. 

What has gotten into him? He could sense her dropping the guards down a little. In this place both can’t hide much, all they can do is walk away and knowing that it was possible his only chance to let her be on his side was worth the risk and he had to try. 

Athan cursed.

Sorry but Cassa wins this time. Letting his guard down. 

I better leave you to it and I do trust you. 

Then I better get on with it, I have a long journey to complete, the sword is not going to make itself. Better start now. Cassa added as she cut the link. 

Do you need more time, he shouted out. 

Yes I do need extra two days and also no guards or any watch dogs around too. 

Fine, done. I will speak to you tomorrow evening, Athan added. Closing the door and taking his men with him. Well this is the stupidest thing I have done as he walked away leaving her knowing that she will kill him.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

I seem to like the short story in the moment 🙂

This is a journal of imaginative mind, fiction and also not much editing letting the words flow. Come back next week to see what happens. For as humans we need to be creative, use imagination and be the best version of ourself. Just like our Father wants us to be.

Who knows the mind of a human, only God!

I do love the Lord and I love that you took the time to read my blog. Bless you.

Have a wonderful day 🙂

'“And now arise, O Lord God, and enter your resting place, 
along with the Ark, the symbol of your power. 
May your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation; 
may your loyal servants rejoice in your goodness.'

2 Chronicles 6:41 NIV

Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”

I stand and look at the earth 
I see the herbs and the trees as they bear fruit
For You Lord, You made everything good

I will sing of all the wondrous things You have created
I will say to my soul 
Why do you hide away when things don’t go right?
Why do you hide away when the Lord calls you?

For when the Lord calls it is out of Love
For we shall return to You Lord 
For a thousand years in Your sight 

Is like yesterday when it is past
You have set our iniquity before You
Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance 

For the word You spoke became flesh 
Among us, He dwell giving us Grace
Grace to come before You in boldness 
For no more shame exists 

The earth is Yours and everything in it 
Wondrous works in the land as it bears fruits 
Awesome things in the sea beyond our imagination
The birds in the air never lack anything

As children of God, we never lack anything 
For You calm the storm 
So that its waves are still
And guide us to a place of peace
So we will give thanks to the Lord for His goodness
And for His wonderful works to all


Thank you for stopping by
God bless you in your journey

Secure yourself to the amazing Father
and the Lord of our Saviour Jesus Christ

Walk in His promises for Your life
Write them down

Say them out loud to yourself or anyone who will listen

Glorify His name especially in the bad weathers
His promises are trustworthy all the time

'For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, 
but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, 
against mighty powers in this dark world, 
and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.'

Ephesians 6:12 NIV
2016: Ryde-Wotton Bridge

Grace and peace to you from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Wow, another week has started and I am delighted you can drop by. 

Welcome to my vault, hope you had a good weekend? For me?…

It is another Monday, there is a desirable treasure that when found at a great price, you will hide it and then sell all you have just so you can have it. Is it worth it? Absolutely!

Come let us sit and talk. This is a surprise, my weekend was out partying at a house party. It was meant to be lunch, arrived at 12 and ended up being also a dinner. It was just great to sit and enjoy lunch and dinner with friends.

Sunday was amazing, why? It was the first time we sang together. We were allowed to sing in love and to worship God and Saviour of our Lord Jesus Christ in Psalms and Hymns. 

Thought provoking sermon: Talked about the environment and knowing that God loves the environment. Going back to the beginning of Genesis 1. The simplicity of this chapter allows everyone that opens it to understand what the writer wants us to know. As far as the entire Bible is concerned, we must assume that God is there and He wants us to find Him, know Him and serve Him.

We cannot prove that He exists or not but we can hold on to the basic belief that God wants us to know Him and have faith in Him. Hebrews 11.

One of my favourite verse is John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word and the word was with God, 
and the Word was God. 
He has a heart that feels, 
He has a mind that thinks and can speak His thoughts. 
He makes decisions and sticks to them. 
What an awesome God with personality. 
He is definitely not an it, without Him nothing was made. 
He was not created but the Creator
God is a He and is a very personal God.

That was my take on the weekend. Relaxing and enjoying the present moment.

And also being aware of everything around me making sure I have my full armour on, sometimes I forget and the result can be fatal but I do have a merciful God who heals and corrects and guides.

Something I have come to learn about the armour of God: while you look at wearing it remember that it can be sabotaged by ourselves or the forces around us.

Cambriridge definition of Sabotage: Deliberately destroy, damage, or obstruct (something), especially for political or military advantage.

A way to be aware is Listening skills:

By forming a habit 

  1. Knowing what to do which means being aware
  2. Knowing how to do it meaning skill
  3. Knowing why to do it meaning motivation

Why push the boat out and do things differently?

Why not carry on as normal?

All journeys need to have a start and an end. And to get to the end starts with a single step but that step has to be taken in the right  direction.

Fortunately for us we have so much research and commentators have given us compass bearing and maps. 

This can lead to head bury 

Sabotage can also come from self as well as around us

An Example of self – procrastination 

James 4:14 – “How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog – it’s here a little while, then it gone”

Well, I can safely say I sometimes take my hands outside the boat 
or bury my head in the map. 

What good does it do? 

I don’t have long in this world 
It is not my home
 
Yet I forget and be a fool
Don't want to be one, for one day 
The fog will disappear like a thief in the night
When I least expect it
There will be no place to run

So I will lean not on my own understanding
 
But listen with the two ears 
Focus on the Lord daily 
Roll up my sleeves and do something with the talents given
Not brag about tomorrow
And above all remember the Lord in days of my youth 
When I have the strength to do it and willing to do it

Be bless knowing that:

'So also Christ was offered once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him.'

Hebrews 9:28 NLT

Can I encourage you to enjoy the ride and to not be distracted easily.

Thank you for stopping by it means a lot to me.

Pray you have a wonderful week 🙂

'My people, what have I done to you? 
How have I burdened you? 
Answer me. '

Micah 6:3 NIV
By the River Thames and a created background. What a beautiful sunny day
'“O my people, 
what have I done to you? 
What have I done to make you tired of me? 
Answer me!'


What a week, and looking at the words of God 
What have I done to you? 
Seeing it in the eyes of Jesus 
No words can come out 

The love He has for us 
He is living and active 
He is full of compassion 
And has every right to punish us

Yet He ask the question!
How can I answer? 
Can the clay tell it Master
How to create it?

Yet we seem to be masters of our destiny
We seem to the look the other way 
We seem to have complaints
We seem to want to mould the clay  

So I dare to ask myself? 
Shall a clay tell it creator what shape is required
For no words are spoken 
Until the clay porter gives it the mouth to speak

And our Master says
My sheep will hear my voice 
I will never leave you nor forsake you
Yet I dare to utter words too good for me

So I reflect on the words of the Creator 
I sit and look at the words and mediate 
I will dwell in the land of the living 
I will dwell in the present 

As in the days of my youth 
You protected me against the rebels
I will tell of Your wonders
You made me walk and the doctors 
Has no words to say but you are lucky 
And I know it wasn’t luck
It was the mighty hand of God 
The healing power of our Lord Jesus Christ
My Healer and Protector 

Examine me, O Lord, and prove me
Try my mind and my heart 
For Your lovingkindness is before me
And I have walked in Your truth 
The truth that is a light 
That shows the way to freedom

It is in You I trust
Be my Rock of refuge 
For words cannot answer Your questions
Things are too wonderful for me
For who am I to even look and answer 
For I do not understand anything
I have heard You with my ears 
And I come to You and repent 
By the blood of Jesus Christ 
Who is the First and the Last 
The holder of the keys of Hades and of death
I repent!

I look to You only
I worship You Lord Jesus 
For I do not fear death because You hold the key
You are the God of all 
I love You, LORD
