When
this blog began, I was asked to simply share my thoughts about life
and YHVH in my thoughts as I traveled in a desire to see His face.
This past week has been totally breath taking for me. I am not able
to tell my thoughts. I can’t remember all that went through my
head. Some of the events are ingrained in my thoughts and override so
much else. And that is alright with me.
What a
blessed Pesach and Passover. But Pesach and Passover are such a deep
spiritual experience. I ask, how can I sit here and tell you that it
was exhilarating? How can I tell you that I felt the Presence during
the Special Presentations? When the “home grown” musicians and
singers got together to welcome in the Sabbath with a heartfelt sound of praise that brought me back to how it must have been when
people were just moved to worship. No fancy stuff, just heartfelt
giving. And when the children and adults joined together for a
musical dance and skit routine that had everyone amazed at the
interaction of the ages. What a thrill to see the children showing
how Torah will overcome evil and then they caught up with the adults
and joined the dance without missing a beat! You had to have been
there. Next was the Seder meal and the telling of the Exodus. The
opportunity for each person, young and old alike to tell the story,
in turn, reading from an Haggadah where the text was
Words from the Bible, from Genesis to
Revelation. The were rare occasions where ‘man’s’ words were
inserted for flow and continuity. This was differentiated
from Scripture by a change in font style and a leader from the
congregation would speak that part. The transition (the 400 years
between the Old and the New Testament) was gracefully tied in vocally
with the song "Via Dolorosa", again by a member of the
congregation.
Oh yes! The food! The
food was wonderful and followed the Word for content. Nothing added
as has been at so many other Seders with man-made Haggadah’s… Don't
get me wrong, I enjoyed the others too. But this one just seemed
different…from the very beginning it “felt” different. At the
end, for a closing, the guests were asked would they like to sing a
closing song to round out the night… and they did! There were no
strangers here. The Spirit led and we followed. What a wonderful
gathering. We all truly were part of a family. A family that our
Father called together to have supper on the back porch and to speak
with one another about how it was, what happened, and what’s
happening now. Yahshua has made it possible for us to stay together
and never take our eyes off YHVH. Yahshua is guiding us back to
Torah, the Prophets and our Father, YHVH, Elohim.
On the 18th
of Jan, in a Blog entitled “Remember”, I asked:
“So, what is this blog all about anyway?”
Then I got all carried away with trying to
actually bring you into my thoughts. I said,
that if you read between the lines, you could see that I find some
difficulty in communicating with my Creator.” Then I laid it on
the line; “Oh how I
long for the day when it all comes together and we can transcend the
barriers that prevent us from total understanding and cross over and
truly become Hebrew and meet with Him and speak with Him and there
would be no reason for words for we would know, just know, just
really know what He expects of us and we wouldn’t even have to
question it…we could meet Him where He is and if we were as versed
as we thought we were in the lives of those who spoke to Him such as
Abram and Moshe then we would do what is His Will and that would be
that, and there would be no blogs such as this….the blog of that
day will be titled REMEMBER! And that would be it!..Nothing else to
say! The End! REMEMBER!
Before it was written, He said REMEMBER!”
This past week I feel as
though I came closer than ever to transcending the barriers. The
mighty and glorious miracles that unfolded are too numerous to
inventory; right down to the couple who somehow were positioned to be
the last two readers at the Seder. Not too many people knew that
they had planned not to read; she without her glasses and he a bit
shy in a new group. But they did read and the Father blessed them
with a smooth delivery! No one knew, just the visiting couple and
the Father! Yes, Yahshua loves us, and He wants us back in Torah
where we all are welcomed.
On Sunday I engaged in a
discussion with someone I met during the Seder. Yeah, I actually took
time to sit and be with someone….time is on my side right now. I
have forgotten how refreshing it is to sit and chat. About nothing
in particular but doing as He says…while you’re traveling on the
road, when you sit at home, when… (you know the drill……) So we
were sharing experiences and ensuring each other that YHVH is in
charge, no matter how much we can solve all the problems of the
world. This behavior was different for me. I plan to make this a
part of my life. In my early days I had no desire for anyone to know
me…I wanted to stay lost in the crowd. A lot of this came from
insecurity. Anyhow, with the incident of my foot/toe last September,
I have been learning. This is not the guy I was. But it is the guy
I am. No way would I disclose about me. It is not about me. It is
all about Him. So why should I run my mouth about anything but Him.
I’m going to go. I just
stopped myself from erasing all this. So, I will say Shalom for now…..
Peace, Love and Brotherhood (LOL ..a blast from the past!) It is
Wednesday evening.
Love you all, Shalom
Shalom
