Abandonment
WORD OF THE WEEK
Abandonment: The Act of Giving Something Up
Look to the Word
My God, My God, Why has Thou forsaken me? -- Psalms 22:1
My Story:
The property was overgrown, weeded, filled with discarded building parts and torn down fences. I said to myself "what a mess!" Some areas were larger than others. They held much potential for use but laid wasted and "abandoned."
I couldn't help but to think that at one time or another that the owners were handed the keys to their building and surveyed that very area with great pride and accomplishment. Knowing that they were going to put the property to good use and that they would even have enough space to expand, if needed. What happen? Life, death, changes, transitions, bankruptcies, failures, losses, neglect and the list goes on.
Christ uttered these very words thousands of years ago and for some rings true today! Christ was on the last leg of His mission when these words were utter! The fact that Christ spoke those words are important! These words spoken in Psalms 22 were of a prophetic nature. It foretold of His cruxificion. At this point Christ had been rejected by the very people that He came to save. While hanging, insults from the crowd gather were hurled at Him. The woman who gave birth to Him stood by helpless to save her Son.
With all this, He knew that His suffering served "purpose." Some say that He spoke these words for our very benefit. That we would understand that He willingly submitted to the Will of The Father. That we, too, when drawn in our darkest purpose would take courage and fulfill our "purpose."
These words were spoken moments before He EXHALED! Why this Lord? Why me Lord? Why can't I get a break? Why is everything falling apart? Why aren't I further than I am now? The "Why" in our lives have already been answered. Innately, we know but we have not DIED to the task at hand to Exhale?
After the cruxificion, came Victory!
If you are feeling abandoned, just know that He has not forsaken you! A time of refreshing and Exhale is waiting on the other side of the task at hand. Live so that (But let) patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. -- James 1:4
Let's Pray:
Dear Father, In the Precious Name of Jesus we come. Asking for forgiveness that we may find your perfect peace in the midst of our soul. Holy Spirit I ask that you lead and guide us into ALL truth that we may be thoroughly furnish to fight off the offences, rejections, abuses, and wiles of the enemy. Strengthen us to fight the good fight of faith. I pray for the one that cannot put one foot in front of the other, that cannot lift up their head, who faces another bill, that doesn't know where to turn. You are the answer. Engulf them in your love and peace and make a way of escape from the spirit of abandonment in Jesus' Name.

Inner Peace
INNER
PEACE
God is the source of my serenity. I am at peace. At times I may tend to feel discouraged and
challenged, yet I can transform such thoughts and feelings and know a peaceful
state of mind. Letting go of any need to
struggle, I allow the peace of God to fill my senses. I am at peace because God is the source of my
serenity.
In the silence, I dwell in the perfect
peace of God. For these moments in time
there is nothing I must think, say, or do.
I can just be, building a consciousness of peace. As I begin moving from this inner experience
out into my day, I bring this consciousness of serenity with me. In the midst of busy daily activities, I am
serene and at peace. At any time, I have
the ability to make the choice to go within to my internal wellspring of peace
and maintain my sense of calm and serenity.

Republican's Plot to Sabotage U.S. Economy
Eric
Cantor, Paul Ryan & Kevin McCarthy: Plot To Sabotage US Economy with Frank
Luntz
On January 20, 2009 Republican Leaders in Congress
literally plotted to sabotage and undermine U.S. Economy during President
Obama's Inauguration.
In Robert Draper's book, "Do Not Ask What Good
We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives" Draper wrote that
during a four hour, "invitation only" meeting with GOP
Hate-Propaganda Minister, Frank Luntz, the below listed Senior GOP Law Writers
literally plotted to sabotage, undermine and destroy America's Economy.
The Guest List:
Frank Luntz - GOP Minister of Propaganda
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA),
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX),
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX),
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI)
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA),
Sen. Jim DeMint (SC-R),
Sen. Jon Kyl (AZ-R),

Non-lawmakers present Newt Gingrich
During the four hour meeting:
The senior GOP members plotted to bring Congress to a standstill regardless how much it would hurt the American Economy by pledging to obstruct and block President Obama on all legislation.
The senior GOP members plotted to bring Congress to a standstill regardless how much it would hurt the American Economy by pledging to obstruct and block President Obama on all legislation.
These Republican members of Congress were not simply airing
their complaints regarding the other party's political platform for four long
hours. No, these Republican Congressional Policymakers, who were
elected to do 'the People's work' were literally plotting to sabotage,
undermine and destroy the U.S. Economy.
Mitt Romney, who has hired most of Bush/Cheney Policy Advisers, and
the GOP party believe they can defeat President Obama, take control of the
Senate and maintaining control of the House of Representatives so long as the
economic recovery stalls. So they are actively trying to make it happen ... and
that's what hate-propaganda Minister Frank Luntz had in mind when he organized
the January 20, 2009 covert meeting.
Republicans do not pay Frank Luntz to
offer ideas for good policy to help America, rather, Republicans pay Luntz' to
devise lies that will keep Americans dumb and ignorant to facts on policy. For decades
Republicans have paid Frank Luntz to tell them (Republicans) what to say in
order to brainwash 'the People' with lies and hate to destroy policy.
Luntz does not use words to merely
have Americans "change their minds." Rather, Frank Luntz uses
words intentionally to dumb-down Americans and fill them with lies and hate so
as to brainwash and program Americans to hate a given policy.
Frank Luntz, like many
Hate-Propaganda Ministers, loathes the notion of honesty in debate. Also,
like many Hate-Propaganda Ministers, Frank Luntz wants total control ... total
control even it if means destroying America. So, Luntz uses the tactics
similar to Joseph Goebbels: spread hate, lies and fear in order to gain
control. (More on Frank Luntz at the end of this Diary).
Remember, for months prior to
January 20, 2009, America had been losing over 750,000 jobs per month
because of policies these same elected Republican lawmakers had enacted and
their goal, their goal that night, was to plot ways to sabotage and undermine
any and all legislation that would pull American families up and out of the
economic calamity they [lawmakers] had helped create.
Two months after their covert meeting where they
plotted to sabotage the US Economy, in March 2009, Rep. Pete Sessions said
Republicans should follow the model of the Taliban in its battles
against President Obama.
