Izzy Chalkin' It Out!: July 2014

CHALK about it. Let's get at it shall we?

CHALK about it. Let's get at it, shall we? - (Copyright 2012 / Izzy Herriette & Co) - So, we have our chalk. Now all we need is the board to write on. For me, an entire wall of blackboard would do perfectly! You've seen those in homes, today. Right? Oh, yes! Urban style! Moves me! I'm sure I could do all of my walls like that and make plenty good use of every inch! I can almost inhale, even now with anticipation, the "invitation" to express myself - everywhere - no limitations in filling all those spaces! Just the thought! So this is our OPENING and we hope to share much here with you on this imaginary black surface. Bring your chalk, your board, and take a few notes as we... Oh, and BTW, see all the folks moving in the background here? I wonder if while they're traveling through their daily life, they'll hear us, or our message. If I were to stand, somehow above this crowd with a loud voice, and shout out what things we will write; would they even notice? If those same walls we described, were set up before them for the sole purpose of penning out a word or two to them, would they see it? Help me with that! Chalk it out here on the Izzy Herriette & Co - Blog!

Refresh yourself back unto LIFE!

Heb 3:1 - While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

Wow! Listen to this wording: To day ... if ... ye will ... hear his voice ...

Due to hardness of heart, little disappointments, big disappointments, disillusionment, chaos in life, things not going well, past hurts with no healing, tragedy and unexpected loss, not able to gain that right footing that leads to good and right living, and oh, so much more ...

these are all instrumental in our mental state with God; our heart condition. If we don't or can't bring these things to Him and allow Him to help us "press past them", our hearts could harden, could eventually turn inward on ourselves and we actually and ultimately could reject God. We can become internally, secretly (even to ourselves), angry and bitter with God. We may no longer trust Him. No longer believe in His love for us. And no longer feel that we could require anything from Him ...

after all, He has let us down!

Friends, life lets us down, not our heavenly Father. If we keep our eyes on Him, no matter the circumstances, if we BELIEVE Him and remain in what we know to be the TRUTH, we will COME THROUGH and remain in tact, in right relationship with Him, with ourselves, with mental soundness and with LIFE.

Continually "renewing that mind" will ensure that the ENEMY gets NO FOOTHOLD in your life.

Praying for you, today!!
