Miley Cyrus Can't Be Tamed Video, a Block and a Break and the Sum, Light and Darkness, Notes from the Wilderness

Cloud from Final Fantasy Children of Advent, He is the 'good guy' btw, fighting the powers of evil

I have been taking a much needed break from blogging, as I attempted to write the following series with Scripture on Miley Cyrus's video and I was in a strong mental block.  I didn't know Why at the time, but that same day I watched a series, "Wild Pacific" on Discovery and then boom, boom, God just started showing me tons of things,  pertaining to things HE had been working and wanting to work in me/my life.  Some of which I will eventually in HIS season will incorporate into  the following series of the video/comparative analysis, of the Miley Can't Be Tamed Video, etc.   You see the thing is, there isn't like this Outline of scriptures pertaining to the nature cycle [other than in Job and one I know of in Psalms] and it's relation to spirituality and our Life in Christ, but they are All OVER the WORD.  I've seen numerous of them but what I am seeing now is more that so much of what I've noticed through the Spirit showing me pertains to my heart...the human heart, so much that HE wanted to show me where I need change, growth, growth in His knowledge, to be Transformed, etc.

.and I am learning that sometimes God says NO,  to my writing everything down, one because it's not ABOUT ME....and I am also learning, that I don't have to Explain everything or Prove everything or anything for that matter, that all I have to do is Live, Christ living in me, and it's really what one SEE's, not HEAR's through me, etc., and that somethings or often times what is revealed is to be pondered, reflected and Personally walked in.  So, with that in mind...

a few of those 'revelations' that I feel comfortable in sharing, the first being Light and Darkness,

let's take a look at this video again, then I have just a few comments to make on it.  Just right click on it to open another window...

when I saw this video, I first thought, OK one of those dark leaning to really dark videos, types of dark metal music, but I was urged to watch the entire thing, which I did, then one thing immediately came to mind,

Isaiah 45:7 (King James Version)

 ⁷I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Religion has always 'boxed' things in either Good or Evil, Black or White, the Knowledge Tree,

and when we Stay in that Knowledge Tree we miss something very important...that WE can't see because OUR HEARTS, ARE 'DARK', 'EVIL' AND BLOCKED.

LIFE


WE see things in black and white, good and evil...but we Stop there, we don't see Beyond that--


a tree, casts a shadow, that shadow is darkness.  

 
In some places, this permanent shade [numerous hours of day] is detrimental to many forms of plant and insect life.  We tend to see Darkness as the EVIL only force, that is to be avoided at all costs.  Darkness doesn't feel good, it is sorrow, it is sadness, it is even death,

but DARKNESS can also be LIFE,

that same darkness that can limit, hinder or kill life, can also save life...as this photo shows

 Those same shadows, depending on place, time, use can Save LIFE, by providing refuge, shade, protection!

If one was stranded in the deserts and found Shade that Shade, that Darkness can give them precious hours, especially when there is a shortage of water and other food nutrients.  Many plants, flowers and insects cannot survive Without shade, darkness...

Our hearts, can see in Black and White only, Good and Evil only, because it is our Hearts that are Dark, 

when we let GOD change our hearts then we can see LIFE in that darkness as well as in light,

live in spite of evil, Resurrection, because LOVE controls both, LOVE can use both for LIFE.

I use to believe that when it says in Revelations that Heaven is Light that there would only be this white light, like a sterile hospital room with these bright white lights and to be honest my heart would be a lot of sad because I like the seasons, I like color, I like textures and things in Nature.  Over time God showed me,

that scripture does not mean, there would be no darkness as in shade of light, but that there would be no Spiritual Darkness that would cause us to only see through hearts of evil, dark, not seeing the LIFE and LOVE force that operates,

like the depiction of the Raven in Miley's Video, that video could be seen through the hearts of darkness as only this video of this music industry girl grown into woman becoming raunchy, etc., and maybe that is what the market intended, who knows,

but what I did find interesting is when doing a google search, and also the blogs I read, just how many are Quick to jump on the things that point out to Darkness, that point out to negativity [myself included], how we are inclined to think that way, to act that way, to SEE that way,

and then I thought, Maybe that is the purpose of so much in our lives, is to Teach us, that there is something MORE...that it's HOW WE SEE

not WHAT we see.

This does not imply that there isn't evil, there sure is, but I wonder, is the evil in the world so much created by GOD or by our own evil hearts and how we SEE through the eyes of Law, Judgment, Darkness because we have no LOVE, and because we have no LOVE and therefore we humanity act on those things...that good and evil, knowledge, that death,

where as, GOD creates LIFE, creates LIFE out of DEATH, LOVE out of HATE, if HE so chooses,

because GOD is HOLY, to me Holy means Whole, Holistic, with good intent,

where iniquity is the opposite, without good intent, or something to that accord.  Maybe this is why King David said to God when he was given a choice of punishment he preferred God's punishment rather than at the hand of man.

So why did I choose the Final Fantasy character Cloud?  Because it just fit, [and it will go with the series I will be doing Using the game story of Final Fantasy Children of Advent and a few others later on this fall-winter]

 

Psalm 121 (King James Version)

Psalm 121

 ¹I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

 ²My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

 ³He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

 ⁴Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

 ⁵The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

 ⁶The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

 ⁷The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

 ⁸The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

God is not the problem, it is our Hearts...

when we see things in only Black and White, we miss so much, God shows us, all through Nature,

 Oh how we don't see the blue-red blood that is LIFE in them [minus the bug] OR how all living creatures breath the same Cloud laced Air...

but Most of All,

may we see, how GOD, the LORD GOD, sees us,

Black and White we may be, but HE sees us through the eyes of GRACE.  It's not HIS vision that is cloudy, it is Ours...HIS gift to us, the world, it isn't GOD who shuts us out, it is us when we choose to shut HIM out, when we choose to only see darkness and black and white and Reject His LOVE and GRACE, that HE extended to ALL, not just a few chosen, but to All....it is OUR hearts, not HIS, that are


dark. 

Notes from the Wilderness, stay tuned, more will be coming....

in season, in time,

in the shadows.

Love,

Jane

God sends Rain on both the Good and the Evil

click video--read below, something I've been thinking on a lot--Jesus said, we are to Obey His teachings, if we do we will be wise, build our house on the Rock, so when the storms come, the storms come to the foolish too, the same storms but those who Obey Jesus's Teachings, not just believe He exists, their house will stand...

it wouldn't Seem that way, because of how life is, but I think, from learning the Hard way, that 'house' is our soul, our spiritual walk, our spiritual state, in Him. He is faithful, His Word is true...He said, Peace I leave you, not as the world gives, but the Peace I leave, let not your heart be troubled or afraid...what IS that peace? NOT as the world gives,

is our lens, on love and peace, distorted, I think so. It has to be more than a 'flesh' experience, which is so easily ruffled, especially in the storms of life. Well, anyway--read below the video.






Matthew 5:44-48 (King James Version)

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

"45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."

God is So Awesome!

He ALWAYS, COMES THROUGH,

you know more and more, I don't CARE what anyone says, God is Truly AWESOME! The World might be horrid,

people might be cruel

families might be dysfunctional

but GOD

JESUS

is FAITHFUL, TRUE, PATIENT, KIND, UNDERSTANDING,

when other's let you down and they Will as so will YOU let other's down, ain't human nature grand? :( God doesn't just walk off and toss you aside, oh no, He waits, and Waits, and Waits, and Patiently woos us and reminds us and hints at us and well really He sort of goes HEY, YOU, YOU HOO, OVER HERE, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT THERE, IN YOUR SLEEP, IN YOUR WAKING HOURS, I'M RIGHT HERE, ARE YOU LISTENING?

He isn't the one hard of hearing, WE ARE! Anyway...so Spring is here and Summer almost around the corner and I'm having a discourse with Lord about those little things in childhood that Then, had a lot of meaning, they Still do in fact but you see so many once they become Adult and So Knowing [Ha!] well, they take these things with a grain of salt. Anyhow,

so I'm pondering all the cool things like June Bugs, why Is it they are drawn to light again? Funny how we forget those things, and so I look it up and did you know they are attracted to Moonlight? So are Moths. So, then I look at another info site [on bugs] about lightening bugs. I have not seen lightening bugs, NOT that I recall, maybe this year. I have seen 'bats' though, Creepy, they make the eeriest sounds, circling around in the dusk of evening...wouldn't be too upset if I never saw them again. But well, nature is just amazing in of herself and God is really, if you THINK about it, GENIUS, seriously so I'm pondering and reading up on Bugs today, and earlier this morning and through out the week I have been working on some things with God about negativity,

and in looking at a sight on bugs, I stumbled onto this, and it is just well, I just had to post it.

http://www.tomslighthouse.net/lighthse/foot17.htm#anchor002

So I am going to close, with some Cool Bug sites, one from this man's site [awesome site btw] on Lightening Bugs, which I thought was way uplifting because for those of us who Still are a 'child' at heart [maybe more than heart, but anymore, I am thinking, kind of Like it that way, losing the cyncisms is well, kind of Nice], the little things in nature are really, their own Magical World. So--since I am not good at Writing on these things...something I don't write about really, I'd rather show it in pictures, what I see about God's Kingdom, in Nature.

Starting with A BUG'S VIEW OF THE BUG UNIVERSE CREATED BY OUR LORD

Couldn't resist this one, below,

Hilarious, now That's something my brother would have done as a kid, ROFL

now HOW ABOUT, SOME OF THE MORE 'UNIQUE' WHAT YOU DON'T SEE OFTEN...FROM FOREIGN BUGS TO THE EXTRA-ORDINARY...THE AMAZING HANDIWORK OF OUR LORD

even the smallest Creatures, God created the 'stars' for Them, Nightlights

Cave glow worms

and below, these little guys really Do light up their 'female's' Fire, LOL, [they light up for each other, a mating ritual, God thinks of Everything, lol--funny thing is majority of men we hear about do more to PUT out a woman's fire, not Light it, ROFL, ok ok I know NOT nice, but couldn't resist that one, sorry guys, the BUGS got you beat on that one!  Things we can learn from a bug or two eh?

Like, check how Romantic these bugs are...God even provides the perfect uh, setting, LOL...

and it don't Cost them no $150.00 a Night either NOR did this bug have to 'wait' for a Birthday to put out the extra effort, and they say Bugs have smaller brains????!  [and mankind thinks they can Beat God in the Love department, Yea Right?  Like Whatever!!!]

And who'd have thought, God even has a Sense of Humor [this is a new one for me, I"ve seen a lot of Weird things but this was a first]...God, even created a Spit Bug, check This out, [location she says NW Washington]

Now, let's take a trip around the World shall we, starting with Philippines,
"This argiope spider belongs to a family with members around the world, many of which build webs with the type of white "stabilimentum" which you see here, whose purpose might be to help birds and other animals to see the web, and so avoid damaging it."

Russia, unidentified flying object, lol, no, unidentified Russian DragonFly

Indonesia, now She knows just the Right material to make the perfect canopy bed that is water resistant even, site says:

"They're also some of the most beautiful of spiders with attractive, often metallic colors, like this tiny female guarding her eggs.   They have great personalities, too - the two large main eyes which are a distinguishing feature of the family make these spiders look more engaging, and unlike almost all other spiders they'll actually turn and look at you.   If they decide you're a threat then they will often move to the underside of the leaf they're on, otherwise they'll continue about their business, stopping from time to time to check that you're not doing anything nefarious."


Belize, NO, this isn't plated like baby shoes, nor has it crossed paths with Midas, LOL.  This is actually a real Bug, Amazing, God even turned some 'bugs' into Jewels, though probably not a wise idea trying to wear one as a ring [and NO don't even Think about it, we have damaged Enough of Mother Earth and her animals for garments and hats, etc] 
A gold-colored darkling beetle

Malaysia, hmmmm, wonder why insects never have chiropractor bills?  [looper caterpillar, butterfly]

 Thailand, and you ladies think You have the monopoly on the Bee Hive Hair, Ha, God gave me one heck of a hair do, just Check out this hive? 
"This is one of the tiger moth species, a family which is recognizable by the tufts of hair on the caterpillars' backs, a feature which gives them the alternative family name of tussock moth".

The photos of the Foreign bugs are from http://www.richard-seaman.com/Arthropods/index.html

His site is Awesome btw, check it out, for a lot more pics, found it couple of years ago, some amazing photographs.  I do believe the other photos if you click on them will take you Right the the blog/web site they are from [I'll check to be sure].

More on the nature series tomorrow and this week,

Peace,

Jane

Celebrate, the Stop De-Valuing the Caring Roles and Labor!

God IS Good...just when you think it's futile to try, He can sweetly remind you that HE is still in Control and those that Hate, Kill, Butcher, Abandon children, Prey on the Weak, Will one day, Yes,

STAND BEFORE JESUS AND ANSWER TO HIM....

in the Meantime,

see what is moving in places around the world [where women Haven't become death-materialist toxic men] in regards to Caring, from Indie Media News...http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml

Mothers Protest Family Separation, De-Valuing of Caring Work

On Saturday, March 13, mothers and those who depend on them held simultaneous protests in ten cities around the world in honor of the 100th anniversary of International Women's Day. Called by the Global Women’s Strike, the events united under the call to “Invest in Caring, Not Killing,” beginning with payment for the first carers: mothers. Marchers also demanded resources for family reunification and protested the mistreatment of undocumented domestic laborers.

In Guyana, coastal women of African, Indian and Mixed descent travelled to the interior to join with their Indigenous sisters demanding clean potable water, electricity, housing, money for carers, protective rape law, and an end to racial and domestic violence. This historic unity was front page news in the national papers.

In India, Tribal and Dalit women from rural Chhattisgard assembled to demand equal rights to land and property; ration cards for mothers below the poverty line; higher pensions for single, widowed and divorced women; and compensation for mothers and children released from bonded labour.

In Los Angeles, about 150 people led by women and Aztec dancers marched to the Department of Children and Family Services to protest children being unjustly taken from their mothers because of racism, poverty and other discrimination. A similar protest was held in Philadelphia — due to heavy rains the group gathered inside the Arch Street United Methodist Church to dialogue and view a preview of the documentary, “DHS: Give Us Back Our Children!” produced in cooperation with the Scribe Video Center Community Visions Project.

Events also took place in Haiti, Mexico, Peru, Turkey and Venezuela, as well as in the Strike headquarters in London.

The Strike began working to revive International Women's Day in 2000. Their webpage explains: "We all know that the survival of the human race depends on the caring work of mothers. Mothers have the longest working day and the lowest incomes. On top of caring we’re expected to work for the lowest pay to feed our families. We get no recognition or support, only blame when things go wrong. And in times of wars or even ‘peace’, mothers are to the most dedicated campaigners for justice for our loved ones – an extension of our caring work."
