What is your sound



August 2021...During a time of worship, I saw the Lord give me a tabletop harp, an oboe and bagpipes.

Later I looked up what they symbolize.

Harp= Music of Angels" a sacred instrument of healing. It has the power of vibration to touch us deeply on many levels.

Oboe= it is delicate yet harmonious. A distinct sound (I have a distinct sound that matters)

Bagpipes= instrument of power, symbol of mourning, freedom and strength. It is a battle sound.


What is your sound? 

We are all meant to have a voice, a sound in this world and sometimes it works in harmony with others, sometimes it is a solo and sometimes it creates dissonance. When we play our heavenly melodies and release our notes together with others in unity, we create a beautiful sound.

 Are you like an angelic harp with music that soothes and brings healing? Are you like an oboe, unique and distinct? Or like a bagpipe, strong and powerful, declaring battle. Sometimes we are a combination or in different seasons called to make a different sound. Get to know your sound and make a joyful noise with it. Learn to play your tune in the right times and seasons with the right instrument!

 

Reframing my perspective

 writing and painting from 6/2021 journal entry






Dead things fill my sight, heart numb and blurry, reframe with larger lenses, more definition coming into view, Now discerning shape and color. Reframe yet again and glimmers of hope begin to shine. Reframing, encompassing the bigger picture life more evident. Reframing our hearts... how often do we look from the lenses of death and bitterness, allowing emotions to make friend into foe, daily life into drudgery and worries into catastrophe. What if we were to step back from our narrow focus on what is dead and began to reframe it looking for the life and hope in the situation.

Shaking the Cobwebs


Shaking the Cobwebs




Vacant empty spaces 
filled with gossamer thread
vision obscured and dull
senses frozen in dread

lies spun and spiraled around
silky filaments binding with fear
The hour to move forward
the time has drawn near.
Power and authority given
to shake the cobwebs free
Breaking the enemies encasing
Invitation to clearly see
Life in the full bright and illuminated
walk through the woven maze
stepping over the debris
Declaring His goodness in praise.
