There are many ways people have thought how HaShem (The Name) is pronounced, but since man-made traditions have been allowed to rule in our observance of the Scriptures YHVH knew, even in the time of Jeremiah, that such ways would “cause my people to forget my name”. As I continue to study the Scriptures I find that knowing his name, even if you don’t pronounce it right, is very important and will play a huge role in identifying with the Elohim [God] of Israel upon Yeshua ‘s [Jesus] return.

While disagreements may be about how to pronounce HaShem we do know the letters of his name: יהוה These letters should be one of the most beautiful things for your eyes to behold. These are the letters in your Creator’s name, our Heavenly Father, who sent his only Son to deliver us from the eternal death we all should face. Even when you read the Messiah’s name יהושה you see Yah’s name, since Yeshua means ‘Yah Saves’.

I am just completely astounded at how YHVH painted his masterpiece, and how we are so very ignorant, even the wisest, of his radiance. We truly have been “And Elohim said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness…” {Genesis 1:26} The video [below] shows just one way we were made in his very image, the only image our human-eyes have beheld.

I am praising and thanking Yah today for making me in his image. We, mankind, are made in the image and radiance of Yah. We are his most treasured creation and all he does is only out of his love for us. I am blessed with such a Father, even when I don’t and can’t understand. “Blessed be YHVH, Elohim, the Elohim of Isra’el, who alone works wonders. Blessed be his glorious name forever, and may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amein. Amein.” {Psalms 72:18-19}

Barukh atah YHVH, Eloheinu, melekh ha’olam (Blessed are you, YHVH, our God, sovereign of the universe)!!!!!!! In six days you painted the face of the earth, and carved out a day when you rested from your work…. SHABBAT SHALOM!

Celebrate this set-apart day for our Elohim with me by posting a song or psalm, and do the Shabbat Shalom Praise meme.

The truth hurts

It is fact. The truth hurts. The truth that the Son of the Most High had to come and die a sinner’s death HURT, but he pushed through the AGONY and DIED.

So the truth hurts…

What are you going to do?

Call out “LEGALIST!”?

Deny it?

Ignore it?

Get mad?

At those exposing darkness with the Light?

Or…

Are you going to be one that the heaven rejoices over for coming to the the Light?

Abandon the ways of the pagans….

Come. to. the. LIGHT!

For Better or For Worse

Jack Sprat could eat no fat.
His wife could eat no lean.
And so between them both, you see,
They licked the platter clean.

Rather than being like Jack Sprat and his wife, complementing each other by differences, couples act like cats and dogs. You know like masculinity can complement femininity (or vice versa) or feminism can bite chivalry’s head off. I read a quote that said “Love is saying ‘I feel differently’ instead of ‘You’re wrong.’” How we react to conflict is the key to having a good relationship especially in a marriage, and being that perfect match. Your reaction should always be one of understanding, love, and forgiveness. Not one of combat. While this is most important in a marriage covenant it is also important in any relationship, whether it be mother-daughter, friend to friend, or husband and wife.

Through examples in Scripture we see many women whose choices were for better or for worse in the situation at hand. Some proved wise and were rewarded, while others proved foolish and brought their own ruin upon them.

FOR BETTER: Avigail, wife of Naval.

FOR WORSE: Job’s wife.

FOR BETTER: Hadassah.

FOR WORSE: Michal, wife of David.

I find it interesting that those who chose to do what was wise were the women with seemingly impossible and obnoxious men for husbands, where as those who chose to do foolishly were those married to men of the Torah. None of these women were married to the perfect men, by any means, and perhaps not even men they thought themselves to marry, but their reactions proved out the unity of the marriage, the family, and YHVH’s people.

I have expectations for the one I will call my beloved, and those expectations will be worked through at the appropriate time. Some expectations are purely a personally preference, stemmed from the person I am, while others are requirements, stemmed from Scriptural principals. I know it is unrealistic to think everything about him will be just as I thought it out to be, but knowing the type of man he is a starting point to whether I prove out to be wise or foolish in my marriage.

We know not what happened to George and Lydia Wickham, but they both proved to be foolish in their choice of a spouse and one can only imagine the kind of marriage they had thereafter. Fitzwilliam and Elizabeth Darcy, on the other hand, proved wise and had already come to an understanding on handling conflict between each other. I am also pretty sure Elizabeth learned a great deal from her own parents marriage in matters of irritating each other and loving above all.

Because I know that disagreements will arise and misunderstandings will come about, it is important, now, that I know how to handle these situations in a mature and Scriptural manner. He nor I may not be perfect (if fact I know we will not be), but it is important to remember to be perfect for each other. Complementing. Not being indifferent.

“No complement can be eloquent, except as an expression of indifference.”

“Remember that a successful marriage depends on two things: (1) finding the right person and (2) being the right person”

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.”

“Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.”

“Waste no more time arguing about what a good [wo]man should be. Be one.”

“Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.”

“Whenever you’re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.”

“Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made For kissing, lady, not for such contempt.”

“Who is rich? He that rejoices in his portion”

“Adversity is a fact of life. It can’t be controlled. What we can control is how we react to it.”

“Love me when I least deserve it, because that’s when I really need it.”

“Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction”

“Marriage is not a noun; it’s a verb. It isn’t something you get. It’s something you do. It’s the way you love your partner every day.”

“Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.”

He

His people are set a part as holy.

He chose you.

You are His own unique treasure.

It was nothing you did.

He set his heart on you.

He loved you.

He redeemed you.

He has a strong hand.

He keeps his oath.

You can know He is indeed the Mighty One.

He is faithful to those who keep his covenant.

He extends grace to those love and observe his commands

What are His commands?

How do you love and observe them?

Do you love and observe them?

Do you love him?

Do them, to a thousand generations.

Watch

Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

This is something I am trying to live by.
I hope you will try to too. :)

Modesty

I have some verses to share on modesty. Christian woman should not be dressed in the kind of clothes and their hair should not be combed in a way that will make people look at them. They should not wear gold or pearls, or clothes that cost much money. Instead of those things, Christian woman should be known for doing good things and living good lives. (1 Timothy 2: 9-10) So in other words don't put on too much jewerly at the same time.Inner beaty is the true beauty. When you have inner beauty it shines on the outside. Here is another verse, Do not let your beauty come from the outside. It should not be the way you comb your hair or the wearingof fine clothes or the wearing of gold. Your beauty should come from the inside. This is the kind that lasts. Your beauty should be a gentle and quiet spirit. In Gods sight this is of great worth and no amount of money can buy it. (1 Peter 3:3-4) Inner beauty is what really counts!!

I am worth it!

I, Elish, declare on this 24th day of July, 2009
that I am
GOD'S GIRL!

By God's grace I will:

*View myself as God's see's me: a priceless, beautiful, one of a kind treasure.

*Never feel I must trade myself for physical affection, for I am worth waiting for.

*Choose to trust God with all areas of my life and follow where HE leads me.

*Be mindful of how I dress and how I act.

*Stand strong in my convictions and not waiver when peer pressure threatens my decisions.

*Treat others with compassion, watching what I say and do, because I know that others are learning from me everyday.

*Pray that I never lose the deep passion I have for Jesus, and stray from the truth.

*Believe I am worth keeping safe for I am a PRECIOUS keepsake, and I belong to HIM!

As a reminder of who I am, I now sign:
Peanut
