Here’s how God puts things in my head to write about…. This became a case study…. I had no intention to write this (or anything ever)… But the thought will bug me until it’s down on “paper”…. I drafted two yesterday enough to please God to get them out of my head, but not polished enough to send…. (After VBS, ok God?!?)….

Here’s the case study… Starts with 6 AM email writing a VBS volunteer, a dear friend, who feels unprepared because she missed a training… (thanks for sharing your moment of questioning my dear friend, it filled my soul with Jesus thoughts that I had to write out)….

“So no worries if you feel unprepared for VBS, how do you think I feel !!!! I feel ever like a new green Christian an evergreen, wow that’s profound and funny?!? LOL… If we remain evergreen how blessed we are….”

Sigh, going to have to write that devotion out now…. Evergreen Christian…. That is me this year, I feel to have Christmas all year, I feel like I am pregnant with Jesus this year carrying HIM… I did enjoy my first Easter, I can’t even imagine how excited I be at my first REAL Christmas this year.”

YES, that’s how these God thoughts start, sigh…. God laughs at me when I say please pause the writing until after VBS… God wakes me, Pulls the thoughts together… I would say it’s like deja vu, or like it’s “Groundhog Day” movie, or a time vortex, but it’s not quite, it’s new conversations, new thoughts… Sigh…. I write these to process (usually half an hour each)…

I am weak in my own soul, reaching out to Jesus to grow it….

I am strong in my own soul, reaching out to Jesus to share it… Blessed…

 

Evergreen Christian, 18Jul

I’m an Evergreen Christian…

Shedding old needles but growing new each year….

Growing Jesus and new blood…

Spreading the word of life everlasting…

Jesus alive – feeding, stirring, holding…

Brown tree trunk rooting you always in firm good soil…

Planted in the writers’ Word of the Lord, sweetly written in your heart…

Roots deep enough but still fragile to overwhelming circumstances…

Evergreen fresh growth each spring, supple unprotected green, NEW SOUL expansion… Evergreen sharp, wax-protected, hearty needles in winter, still green, still alive…OLD SOUL protection…

Winter at Jesus’ birth is spring in your life… Jesus born, Jesus alive… Spring at Jesus’ death is winter in your life… Jesus dies, flesh dead

Evergreen in Jesus is ever life, everlasting life… Jesus dead no more… Aware, awake, alive Evergreen Christian ever holding and growing Jesus…

Jesus ever holding and growing the Evergreen Christian… Jesus is Evergreen, SO ARE WE…

Aware, awake, alive…

We are EVERGREEN…
