Yah Is A Painter: Wayside

Wayside

"Wayside"
Original Lyrics by Shannon Powell

I don't care to be first
As long as I'm invited
I desire that you could bear me
A little in my folly
I crave the undivided
I owe to take my staff
You gave me bread
When the world looked away
You reached out and led
Me home

HalaluYah! I'm not on stony ground
I'll volunteer to chase the birds off
If another could be found
You may not see my scars
But I'm not afraid of thorns
HalaluYah!! Reborn
I survived to join the bride
But my heart goes out to the way side

I see mean
I see ugly
Criminals and bandits
I can't stand it
I judge the way the world taught me
Bear with me
Folly
That was me

When I was wicked
My heart still broke the same
Lost or found
You never change
Take me anywhere
I don't care
My root is you
You are truth
My prayer
For the way side

HalaluYah! I'm not on stony grounds
I'll volunteer to chase the birds off
If another could be found
You may not see my scars
But I'm not afraid of thorns
HalaluYah!! Reborn
I survived to join the bride
But my heart goes out to the way side

A Glimpse Inside/Disclaimer***

I'm weird and I love it. I also love my life, my cats, my job, my family, my friends, and everything else under the sun that I've been blessed with.

I super duper love my wonderful husband. He means more than the world to me (Matthew 19:6, Genesis 2:24) and I always try to be the best wife (Genesis 2:18) I can possibly be. I honestly try to do whatsoever my hand findeth to do with my might (Ecclesiastes 10:10) and heartily as to the Master and not unto men (Colossians 3:23).

More than anything, I love Yahweh with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my might (Deuteronomy 6:5), with all my strength and understanding (Mark 12:30).

I read portions of my Bible (Genesis 1:1-Revelation 22:21) every night,

I am odd about a few things. I won't say "God" or "Jesus," I use their real names, "Yah" (Psalm 68:4) or "Yahweh/Yahveh" (weh/veh=suffix regarding honor/reverence) and "Yahshua" (shua= to save).

I follow Torah. And not the Jewish Torah, but I live my life in Yah's statutes and judgments (Leviticus 18:5) as outlined in Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. I keep the feasts of Leviticus 23, I keep the clean foods of Leviticus 11, and I sanctify the seventh day Sabbath as directed in Genesis 2:3, Exodus 16:23-30, and Acts 15. And with Christ as my Saviour, I do not believe the law (Torah) died with Him (Matthew 5:18).

I always wear a headcovering because of the command of 1 Corinthians 11:5, the respect of 1 Corinthians 11:8-9, and the witness of Numbers 5:18.

My Facebook is more personal than most environments that most people will find me in. I think about, talk about, and praise Yah in everything, diligently, in all that I do. (Deuteronomy 6:7) And while I try to cast not my pearls before swine (Matthew 7:6), I'm almost always up for discussing The Word.

I don't believe in Xmas (Jeremiah 10), Easter, or Halloween (Deuteronomy 12:30).

I haven't always known all of these things as truths. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 directs, "Prove all things, hold fast that which is good." I apply this to my life as I learn and grow and try to live in the Word, in Yah's will rather than my own.

This is my disclaimer to scrutiny and, if as many before you, you hate me because of it, I'm sorry. Yahshua warned, "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before you." (John 15:18)

While I judge within my life righteously (John 7:24), I'm not here to judge (Matthew.7:1).

Did I mention that I also love people? :))
