I just had to take a break from decorating and creating decorations to add this new blog.  Not sure what I'm gonna write, but I'm sure God's got all the help I need in my fingers.

During this time of year people get sick with all types of "stuff".  Cold, flu, pneumonia, you name it.  People hurt their backs shoveling if they're blessed to live in a snow laded place.  I could go on and on about what we all suffer from during the winter months.

Thankfully, doctors and experts alike announce 'prevention' tactics and tools we can use to avoid the pains and strains of everyday living through this time of year.  I, myself, take lots of vitamin C, Zinc, Echinacea Tea, etc to ward of cold symptoms or at least keep them to a minimum.  I beat shoveling most of the time because my 16 yr old son has been assigned this as his top priority during the winter.  Since we have a teeny tiny sidewalk I figured it wasn't harmful if he managed it and it helps him be 'the man' of our house.  They tend to be the outdoor keepers of the yard, trash, you name it:).  Wouldn't wanna deny him of that.  Okay, okay, my old bones like a warm house:).  Guilty as charged.  I do make sure I tell him about proper shoveling techniques and he gets regular chiropractor visits, so even with my helpful son keeping him safe from harm is important. 

Now back to prevention.  So, even I do preventive measures to protect myself and those I love from illnesses and pain.  If we're wise we should all follow measures to take care of ourselves and prevent problems in any area of our lives.  I've heard a saying "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."  I looked it up and the new way of saying this is "A little precaution before a crisis occurs is preferable to a lot of fixing up afterward."  Either way, the point is we have to do what we can to stop problems before they occur.

My short answer is the bible is the primary preventive measure, or tool, we can use to become wise and avoid most problems.  When problems arise out side of our control the Word gives us ideas of how to feel better even when we can't change anything at that moment.  I am living proof of this.  If you've read my blogs or known me in some capacity you'd get to see God's hand at work in my life.  He's brought me through so many tribulations and trials, in other words, aches and pains. 

Sometimes I don't always see His view or healing, but I have come to know in time they are always revealed.  Unlike an illness, healing isn't always instantaneous.  Sometimes it takes years to recognize His understanding and then it's like, WOW, thanks.  The more we know and mature the faster we 'get' to healing and truth in our view.

What I'm offering is a suggestion.  If you aren't the type to care about germs, you probably won't be the one to care about sin.  That's okay as I'm not here to tell you not to sin.  Far be it from me to 'preach' be perfect or don't do this or that.  My integrity is awesome, but not perfect and I personally doubt if I could see into everyone's hearts no one is.  What I am is highly blessed and wise.  I know if I do all I can to prevent problems and pain I will most likely suffer very little over the long haul.  My life is beginning to reveal this truth.  I rarely get sick and when I do it lasts a brief moment with little symptoms.  I rarely have any drama I've brought onto myself any longer because I know what to do to prevent the attraction.  Can't keep it completely from me 'cause sometimes others try to offer it.  I politely decline silently by going onto something else. 

Sometime I'll have to blog about drama addiction.  Your body gets so use to it if you were born into a family full of it that it takes a huge effort to change this.  I believe its biochemical and have read that it is, so look forward to this sometime in the future as the Lord leads me.

Anyway, taking Christ into our hearts doesn't prevent Crisis.  On contrary, it attracts it.  Have you even seen Evan Almighty?  Morgan Freeman, playing God, mentions this as an answer to prayer.  It's actually true.  If we pray for patience God will offer us opportunities to grow in patience by giving us situations that suck it out of us.  Traffic is mine these days.  The less traffic I'm in the better.  So daily I have to work at reminding myself to leave early, have a good meal, enough sleep, and remember to breath when upset.  Hasn't completely worked yet, but I do have more good days than bad now. 

The prevention we need is to be wise and intelligent about our choices.  Praying you'll lose weight while eating a box of Twinkies isn’t gonna cut it.  You're gonna be overweight.  So, either deal with the pain of poor health, if this is a result of your weight, or stop eating that 'CRAP'!  Yes, crap.  Christ Relationship Apathetic Prescription.  Anything that keeps us from feeling our best within our control is CRAP!

I realize someone reading this will think I don't believe in God, the bible, or any of this crap.  Regardless of whether you believe in these things what I've shared is true.  You may not believe in God, but He believe's in you and your ultimate joy while you're alive.  So please, take care of yourself and live a healthy life as best you can.

Lovingly yours,

Patience Kim Phillips:)

This is a topic that has been dropped on my head today like Stone Mountain.  

I need to acknowledge something I have done that is wrong, but understandable.  I have, over the years, tried to match someone's misery with some of my own in order to click and fit in with them, especially men. 

The only way I figured this out was my life has been so blessed by God and on Sunday I gave in to the authentic abandon of the radical message of Christ.  Through this abandon I have come to realize when someone is miserable and I rob them of sharing my joy assuming that if I shared it I wouldn't fit with them I am wrong and hurt the opportunity to minister blessings from heaven by example.

For instance, I had a conversation with someone I was considering going out with and a possible future.  This person spoke about the drama in their life that was in part brought on by themselves and a part brought on by habit and not knowing better as I believe sometimes we only attract what we know. 

So, I proceeded to dig up misery from my past in order to fit in to the conversation and I then proceeded to try to talk too much to drown out the fact I didn't wanna hear another negative thing.  He talked about how his former partner did this and that, how his financial situation was in drama after drama, and it continued from there.

I can't compete with this much sorrow.  My life is so joyful that I felt if I said so and shared why it would have made him feel badly.  The reason why is just that afternoon, hours earlier, someone said to me when I shared blessings, "At least God's doing great things for you 'cause he's not for me ..." and she shared a few other negatives.  I suspect I have done this more times than not. 

Why?  I think my heart was in the right place.  I want to fit with my potential partner.  Wild at Heart and Captivating both talk about the way women are made and how they can genuinely compliment a partner.  My attempt to compliment only hurt my chances of sharing God's glory to someone who could have benefited from it.

The result was I had to try to share my mistake the next day on the phone and I got hung up on.  I got the typical well if you were acting like a Christian you would have this or that.  I won't even get into what I think of this. 

If we want to be all God needs us to be than we must show joy and glory in all circumstances including when it makes the other person feel less then, angry, or resentful because why is God doing it for me, or you, and not them.

Perhaps if they would have a personal relationship in the same way and understand and accept each message from God is meant to affect different people in different ways, or better yet, it's my attitude of gratitude that segregates me from the drama.  My life has drama, but I choose to be grateful for the little blessings, so God wants to naturally give me more.  He knows my life is about His purpose and not my own.  

Then, it was so funny, and actually a little sad, this fellow offered his prayers for me.  I let him know in no uncertain terms I didn't want his dysfunctional prayers.  If his life was so lousy why on earth would I want broken prayers said over mine?  lol.  Okay, maybe that wasn't nice to your interpretation, but it is true and the truth is a pain sometimes.  Take a dose of humility and it won't be so bad. 

How?  Just ask God what your problem is and He'll tell you.  Ask God how can I fix it and he'll often tell you you can't.  He wants you to be broken sometimes, so he can fix you for your own good and His glory.  See? 

Here's a personal example:  One time I was mad and said what my problem is.  I am upset 'cause I am judging people judging me.  I don't wanna be judging.  He said, "How much confidence do you have of me in you?"  I was like wow, okay, and never saw myself judged again, therefore I stopped judging.  I learned this in a church from someone who was on the worship team. 

Worship team.  Oxymoron.  We are all a worshipping team.  But, that's another story.   

So, the moral of the story is, don't be slinging your misery, even if it's from a grave in the past.  Show God's glory.  Nothing less.  Even if most folks get mad at you.  You are accountable to God and your abandon is important.  It's how you optimize revealing faithfulness to His desires and not that of yourself, me, or others. 

Blessings and love,

Patience Kim

Do you have what it takes?  Do you have this thing, this inkling, this urge, desire, passion ... whatever you wanna call it ... focus so deep inside that all you wanna do is be where the ending to your journey is meant to lands now?  The place you dreamed of your whole life?  Or, maybe only just realized?

Either way, you do or you don't, it doesn't matter.  God will take you just where you are and open your heart, soul, and mind widely to all He has waiting for you ... like a gift at Christmas or birth of your first child.

It's not conditional either.  He doesn't care how screwed up you've been.  Or, not.  I've been on the screwed up end a few too many times.  He doesn't even care how screwed up you are right now, if you are.  He just wants to love you, and be loved by you.

You're probably wondering how on earth?  Do I have to give up my drinking, smokin', sex, or anything?  Contrary to popular Christian preaching ... NO!  You can say yes to God without changing a single solitary thing in your life.

I will be honest that if you give Him your love or what you know of love He'll take it in whatever form it comes.  He'll take a crumb if that's all you have inside yourself to offer.  I admit that once I did, once I gave Him my heart, I wanted to get to know Him and as I did I thought less and less of who I was, who I thought I was, or what I had.  The more I got to know Him the more I wanted to have what He had to offer.

Contrary to popular Christian teaching the love, changes, and transition come softly.  I suppose for some it's overnight, but realistically it comes slowly, and sometimes not for a lifetime.  We keep tripping up; keep making mistakes, continue to mess up ... like David from scripture of old would know.  Sheppard becomes King, now what?  It's like winning the lottery and we know how a lot of those stories go, they lose everything.  The only difference for David is he known for being a man after God's own heart. 

That's the secret.  Screw ups and all.  Just go after His heart like you would the most important aspect of your life ... for men it's women and for women it's love.  Maybe speaking in generalities isn't fare.  I think you understand what I mean.

I just watched The Notebook and recently a movie called Fireproof and a book The Love Dare came out ... they all direct attention toward a love of God and one another.  Maybe you haven't had an easy life and maybe it'll never be easy.  Just remember this world, the one God's given to us ... it is what it is.  It's not meant to be heaven.  That comes later.  I have a saying listed that might help ... A happy family is but an early heaven.  So, maybe your family isn't happy ... I know mine hasn't been, but I do know having an soft serve twist ice cream cone with my son on a hot summer day when it's dripping faster than he can lick it ... well, that's a little piece of heaven on earth.

When it's time to die, and we all will, heaven will be different then that last lick of the cone.  It'll be glorious, incredible, and more wondrous then words can describe.  Right now, here, this moment, it's all we have.  In this moment we can have little glimpses of heaven if we'll allow Him to show us.  The memory of ice cream with my then little boy, who’s a man now, that's a piece of heaven I'll always have.

My relationship with God is what makes the drips of the cone so special.  Sure, you don't need a relationship with God for that, but unless you have one I'll never be able to explain the difference.  Since I've had it both ways, with God and without, I can say without a doubt, it's more different then words will ever offer.  Try it and you can see for yourself.

All the preaching, teaching, nagging of Christians will never be enough to convince you ... a taste of that ice cream drip is the only way to know ... so please consider it.  Take a lick and see for yourself.

My heart goes out to those who still don't understand or it's not your time.  God has a time for you ... maybe this is your preparation time.  But, I promise if you just consider His thoughts and what He has to offer ... Please.

Thanks for your time.  May God open a sliver of light into your heart, so your way it dims, but lit and the journey a little brighter until you find your way to Him with open arms for you?

Check out the Word for answers to this and all your questions about what God's interested in.

God would really like you to get to know Him more, so you can know how much He already loves you.

Shoot me an email if you need help knowing where to start: mustardseedfaith@mail.com

Not me.  I've been living it most of my life.  The only thing I really still want to do is have my writing inspired by God published officially.  That day has come recently.  For God no less, which was what I wanted sincerely.

Here's the Link: 

http://www.freewebs.com/destinyandpurpose/magazinepagefive.htm

I was asked to allow information from this site, so the choice was made to publish my first written testimony by the publisher.  The international magazine has many great articles that'll give you hope for different reasons.  Make you think for others.  Lead you toward Him more.

It's been a few weeks since my last blog, so wanted to write something ... God led me to share the magazine link.  Glad He did.  It's a sign I'm on my path through the purpose that's burning deep within.

If the Lord will's it I'd like to write for Him and make a living at it, so I can focus more on it, and inspire nations for Him through His love, will, grace, peace, prophetic wisdom, and more.

I sincerely hope this blesses you to move closer to the greatness that is within you.

In Him,

Patience Kim

PS- if it’s God’s will a healthy marital relationship is on the top of my list of desires.  Not sure if I want this on my bucket list or it’s on His;)  I’ll let you know:)

No there isn’t, for those of you who say, BUT sure there are.  That’s what my parents, friends, Pastor told me.  Wrong.  They are all wrong.  About as wrong as the fact there’s no such thing as the moons revolving around planets.  That’s right.  All these years you’ve been taught there’s a bunch of moons in the universes of the solar systems.  It’s the thing that goes around our planet, right?  Sure, that’s the name of the thing that revolves around our planet.  Name, not what it actually is.  And ours is the only one. 

So, if you wanna freak someone out, test them, with how many moons are there? I’ve only known one person, my biological father, who knew the answer.  All the rest of those little rock formations we see through our telescopes are actually called satellites.  So, if there’s no such thing as a universe or two full of moons, then there’s a possibility there is no such thing as an Atheist, much less a planet full of them? 

The next part takes just a paragraph, or maybe two, depending on how I’m lead to proceed.  Let’s see.  Two types of ‘Atheists’ exist.  If you are one, you’ll know what I mean, or might take offense.  I’m not sorry for telling the truth, but I am if you feel hurt, or angry.  Read on and it’ll all become clear.

Okay, first type of Atheist is the hurt one.  Someone, or a group perhaps, of “Christians hurt you in some way, church, pastor, what ever . . . you get what I mean, you are hurt.  So you turned from God, which I might say, He would have not done such a thing, but his reps were jerks and so, you are hurt.  Second type of Atheist is the smart read him or herself intellectually right out of faith or the belief in something they can’t see stuff.  Am I right?  You’re too smart to believe is such crap. 

So, two types smart or hurt.  Now, it’s important to know which one we are talking about for the next example, ‘cause they each respond differently.   Okay and this is taking more than a paragraph.  The actual example isn’t, but the set up is.  So, let’s take the smart guy/gal first. 

I say, If you knew 90% of everything there is to know, in the 10% you don’t know there could be God?

If I’m dealing with the hurt gal/guy, sometimes they often have low self esteem, if this is you, you wouldn’t feel comfortable with me saying if you knew half of everything.  You’d respond with, I could never know that much, so I say, Okay, let’s say you know 10% of everything there is to know, in the 90% you don’t there could be a God?

Next up, that means you have to be an Agnostic.  So, there you have it, no such things as Atheists.  You’d have to know everything in order to disprove there is a God.  The burden of proof is on you because I know there is and I also know that if you don’t believe you can’t understand.  That’s actually scriptural, and based on my own experience. 

Anyway, so what the heck is an Agnostic anyhow?  My easy to understand version is, without breaking out the Webster’s is, you believe in something you just don’t know what it is.   Thus, the door is open for exploration and why you are here.  If you still don’t buy it then stay an Atheist.  Prove to me there is no God somehow.  Please try.   Because in your pursuit of truth you’ll prove just the opposite.  Or are you one of those lazy believers?  You say you are so and so, but you can’t exactly prove why, you just believe that way ‘cause of this or that, no strong definitive whatever.   That’s okay if it’s your thing.

Something to think about.  If you are living like there is no God, you better be right.  Even Satan and the demons believe in God and know the bible inside and out.   It’s important to know your enemy, so you can defeat them.  You, my friend are exactly the type of battle won by the enemy, God’s enemy.  Things are going well for you right?  You don’t need much.  Life’s good.   When you die it doesn’t matter right? 

I guess we will see.  If there is no such thing as an Atheist, and I proved it, do you think maybe it’s worth finding out more about this God I’m talking about?  Not the church goers or anything like that.  I’m taking about finding out more about God.  How do you do that?  Research.  It takes time and effort, but so does anything else you wanna know more about.  I promise if you use the links I have offered and feel free to ask me anything, you will find the truth.  God won’t, can’t, doesn’t want to let you down.

You say, but He has.  Maybe it’s possible He didn’t.  You just don’t know the whole story.  Since He knows things we don’t, perhaps He did something to help, but you never knew where to look.  Sometimes it’s about the heart and not the head. 

Where do I start my research?  John at chapter one, read one chapter a day for 21 days and asks yourself two questions: who did Jesus say He is and what are you gonna do about it?  Then, think of three things: He was either a lunatic, liar, or telling the truth.  His biological family thought He was a little loopy when they went to see Him, but He said, they are not His family, the family of God is His actually family, spiritually speaking.  Then, there’s no proof He was crazy, although you’d think anyone that lets themselves be beat to death with no defense must have been suicidal.  Sure, but if you study more you’ll understand the full impact of the why.  For now, no proof He was nuts.  We saw real screwballs possessed by demons, so He definitely doesn’t fall into that category at all of nut.  So, He had to be telling the truth.  Think for just one minute, what if He was telling the truth?  Just think about it okay.  No commitment necessary.  Just thinking. 

Not gonna try to convert you.  That’s your own job.  I’m all about example and information.  The knowledge that led you one way can now lead you another.  You convinced yourself there’s no God, now it’s time to see if maybe there’s more to this whole God thing then you realized.  It’s all about perception.  I can’t convince you if you don’t wanna be.  I just want to offer some truths and help.  Nothing more or less.   You’ve been lied to about Atheism your whole life, just like the ‘moon’.  Everyone was in on that one.  So, please, I’m asking just explore.  God will help if you ask.  He’s not always obvious, but the information will show up I promise. 

Shoot me an email and I’ll help you along your way to knowing the truth God’s given all of us from the day we’re born, conceived, loved by Him to beyond our death.  I’m here to help.

Patience:)

Since that time I have viewed my home life in a new light.  I have viewed the lives of others in a new light.  I work diligently to help people secure their hearts and homes through Him.  Recently we had a flood in Cedar Rapids, IA where many people lost their homes.  Actually through the Midwest this was the prevalent summer event.  It made me reconsider what a home is. Is a home a building that supports people OR is the home the people that support the building.  It’s the people who are the heart.  Like a hearth of old school days (fireplace) people are the warmth that brings light to the center of the home.  OR, they can be the flood that takes the home out with dysfunction. 

I choose my home to hold the heart of Christ.  Evil can’t penetrate His heart.  We can be the heart or treasure for Him.  Are you His heart for them, the world?  The following is a recent praise from my heart to yours . . .

During the Iowa flood the rains came. 

Rushing waves broke:

Dams, bridges, and levies . . .

Overcoming all manmade barriers . . .

Come like the rain Lord . . . 

Reign!!! Over the whole world!

Drown their hearts in Your:

Grace, Mercy, and Comfort Heavenly Father!

Come like the rain!

Thank you, dear Lord.

Rushing waves broke:

This subject is near and dear to my heart.  If you aren't someone who serves the Christian God as a born again believer this might sound out there.  That's okay.  Everyone's at a different level of their understanding/knowledge/walk. 

It boils down to being more for Him, God.  There was a time when I thought I couldn't ask Him for anything much less deserved anything.  Or, I had to ask for less 'cause that's the humble thing to do.  Now, I walk on the flip side.  I can't seem to have enough to give God.

Now, some of you wild and crazy supery duper Christian's will reply, everyone's enough.  God makes up the rest.  I'm 5% today, God's 95%.  Tomorrow I'm at a 45% advantage for God, so He picks up the final 55%.  We're all at different percentages in our life's flow with Him. 

Today, I'm at the stellar opposite polarity.  I can't be a big enough percentage in my walk for Him.  I want to state I know I'm always enough with Him 'cause He picks up the percentage points always adding me up to 100%.  That's not what I'm referring to.  My self esteem is through the roof.  Through Him, I never ever feel less then.  Always assured I'm 100% is such a cool thing, but that's another topic for another day.

I'm talking about being enough of my purpose.  Cleaning my life up to the point He's 100% of my focus.  No debt, no tickets on my license, no accidents, no credit card debt, no family drama, all relationships addressed, mended, or resolved.  Sometimes resolution doesn't mean ideal, but you've done everything you can to make peace on your end.  That's also another topic for another day. 

The cool thing in my life is I will be debt free soon- goal is this year; I would have been ticket free if I had been paying attention the last time, so I look forward to the next time.  Actually, the last time I was pulled over was due to not paying attention, not speeding, and God said it was a warning if I don’t focus I could get in a wreck, then a few weeks later someone broadsided me; I have resolved ALL family drama from my life . . . well, that is unless you could my teenage son, BUT he’ll grow up and that is an automatic fix; and finally tomorrow I will complete my process of addressing every past relationship making mends.  I’ll be interviewing the final person for my memoir.  

This person was very important to me, but also my salvation message from God.  I’ve learned more about love, pain, suffering, surrender, and salvation from having known this individual.  When I was a brand new date and time Christian (ask me what this means sometime or wait for the blog) I asked God where do I start and He told me to love the one I love the least.  So I did.  I nicknamed this person my Judas ‘cause without Judas not ever Jesus would have accomplished His purpose/mission.  Now, after years of suffering during the wait we are coming together as an alliance for the Lord.  That story will be in my book/articles/blogs, so stay tuned. 

My point in all this, my day of more is coming.  Once the small issues of life have been addressed, changes made to improve, focus refined to the narrow path, and I’m able to walk straight across the water without splashing eventually reaching Him, I will have made it.  Sure, I know that’ll be death, but I’m taking more with me, like you. 

What I am talking about is your life is as clean as it can be, so you have more than enough room for following your heart with His.  If you have a lot of stuff (crap for all you not so Christian types:), it's difficult to have more time, more love, more money, more of anything to give. 

If you love the Lord or are just thinking about it this is not about feeling guilty, shamed, or condemnation about what you can't do today to fix what took you years to screw up.  Like your driving record.  It takes three to five years to have something come off your driving record to improve your insurance rates.  Or bankruptcy takes 10 years to remove off your credit report.  Child Support, Student Loans, and income taxes owed are some of the things that'll never come off your credit if you don't do your part.  They aren't bankrupt-able either. 

It's not just about 'stuff' like this.  It's about that toxic relationship you are in that is hindering you from a healthy head, and life.  It's about that person you treated less than stellar who is hurting and needs an apology.  Or, you holy roller Christians, you know who you are, Super Sister Christian for example, prays more, loves more, has the nicest house, leads a bunch of groups, and sits up front at church . . . when was the last time you thought about your neighbor at church who doesn't dress as nice, doesn't pray as much, and is living with her boyfriend?  Worst yet had an abortion?  Doesn't always come to church, and worst yet, is late if she shows?  What do you think about that . . . judgment?  The sins of the heart are far worst then anything.  God Himself notes anger is worst then murder and lust is the same as adultery. 

All this stuff, inside and out, keeps us distracted from more for Him.  When Peter was asked to walk toward the Lord on water . . . at some point He got distracted . . . he began to sink.  Not like the Coyote, from the Road Runner cartoons, immediately going down the cliff after he runs off and realizes what's going to happen, but slowly one sin by one sin. 

IT WAS THE DISTRACTIONS OF THE STORM that hindered Peter's walk!  Casting Crown's song Slow Fade talks about the little things that distract us and eventually fade our faith.  It's rarely a huge thing, but the small that take us down.  The enemy is a thief.  Slow is always easier.  It's like being robbed.  What would you miss more, a penny, or a 100 bill.  The enemy takes the penny sins.  The little one's we blow off as insignifigant.  Who'se gonna notice anyway, right?

So, Peter's sinking and Jesus says, what's up, why are you distracted.  He reaches down, helps this man three times His size up from drowning in the distractions, and they walk into the boat together.  Jesus didn't carry Peter, or drag him; they walked together the rest of the way. 

Don't let the distractions of life take away from being more for Him.  Stop focusing on what you can get from Him or what you have been told He owes you as a Child of God.  It's more, much more, then that.  Sure at first, we need to be loved and nurtured, so if you're a newbie at Christian things, AWESOME!  You're on your way.  It's about being every ounce like Him for everyone.  We are called to shine His truth.  Distractions subtract from Him in us. 

Okay, okay, I know what some of you are saying, who the heck is the prim donna Christian.  I'm someone who knows who I am without Him.  I'm someone who at times had no one else.  Someone who knows me said they thought that's why I hear Him so clearly.  You might think if you’re on mark why don't you have more, why I haven’t heard of you before, like Oprah, lol (lot of laughs).  Simple, I'm where God needs me.  If I was all that and more on the outside with a bigger house, better Harley, etc.  I wouldn't be living where I am ministering to people here, or doing the work I am doing helping people there, it's all about strategic placement and His will while walking toward the destination of more. 

 It isn't about being more for Him on the outside so people can see your stuff is bigger.  That prosperity message pastors are sharing . . . I don't believe that is what God means.  If it were true the Pastors would be giving all they have to others and living on less.  Not little, but less.  This is another topic God will address in time, today it's about being more for Him, not other's have less.

Maybe I'll never reach the goal, more for Him.  With attacks and unfortunate events life will never been perfect for anyone.  For me, I hold onto Heb 11 about faith.  Many people waited that God used as an example and never saw, on earth, the destination.  It's not about getting there here, on earth; it's about striving to be our best attaining His best through us.

I love you all, regardless.  Know how you can tell, I'm here telling you the truth.  It'd be a lot simpler if I was hanging out doing something else instead of her writing this for only God knows who.  I may not have met you in person, but you are not here by mistake.  If you read this it's a gift for your heart.  It doesn't matter if you are viewed as the ideal Christian who seems to have it all, or the individual who hasn't come to a conclusion about Christ yet.  It matters not.

What matters most is you now have a piece of information that can help affect your heart and life for the better.  It's about being more for something wonderful, God.  What this means is you'll always be more for yourself, family, friends, and those around you near and far.

Thanks for your time.  I appreciate the visit.  Bless you and your pursuit of truth.

Patience Kim Phillips  

Burn up those wasted thoughts on how much can you give; Urn up all the rest, relaxation, and rejuvination you can; Turn out the Love for yourself He has for you then release it into the world for everyone to enjoy out of your abundance, not lack. 

"Burn it Urn it Turn it" is taken from scripture and direct revelation from God through my suffering and experience to share as He instructs me. 

I implore you to check within your own heart for His truth and not rely on my own understanding.  This is how He's told it to me. 

It's up to you to seek to find out how the Lord means for you to 'get it'. 

I am hoping my view is one that appeals and is understood in simplistic Christ like terms.
