Come to the Banqueting Table

Come to the banqueting table...
and feast.

Feast on protions of truest, purest love.
Feast on light and truth.

Among all the saints, the Bridegroom walks...
light emanates from His robes of Righteousness.
Every eye watches Him.
His feet blaze like fire,
His eyes burn with consuming love,
passionate kisses sweet like honey fall from His lips to ours.

Oh, this is the banqueting table.
This is the life of love.

Beside me sits my enemy,
the one I had not loved.
Her eyes they are soft and lovely,
forgiving and knowing all truth.

Beside her sits her enemy,
the one she did not love.
And each of us experience the same:

On Earth we separated and severed the Bride,
at His table we are One.

A holy, lovely, pure Bride we are,
feasting with the King.

He sings a song of passionate love to us,
and gives us everything.

Thank You Un-named Lee Alumni

A few days ago I was contacted by a Lee Alumni who has chosen to give to Lee students who have extreme financial need. He had recieved my thank you letter and chosen to respond. Over the course of the past few days we have exchanged prayer requests, brief testimonies, and related to one another's college experiences. On my way to work today I received a phone call from said alumni and got the opportunity to talk to him for a few minutes.

Recently, this alumni has had to deal with his father's passing to Heaven. I truly cannot imagine the pain and sorrow he is experiencing as he accepts the loss of his dear friend and father. These words remained with me throughout my shift today at work:

Alumni: My dad always introduced me as his son and best friend. I miss calling him and sharing what happened to me during the day, and hearing what his day was like.

My heart has been torn for him all day. On my way home from work, the Lord spoke to my heart saying,

"I like to introduce you as My daughter and best friend. I love it when you make time to share what happened in your day, and I relish the rare moments you allow Me to tell you about mine."

I am not sure there is much more that can be said. God has truly ravished my heart. He loves me so much. By the way, have you met my King, my Abba? He is my Best Friend. Oh, how I love Him!

Dear Un-Named Lee Alumni,

I am so thankful for your disclosure. I cannot imagine the sorrow in your heart right now, but I am so grateful that God has allowed us to communicate. Through your loss I have gained insight and revelation in my relationship with the Father. I praise God that you had an earthly father who knew how to show you Heavenly love. May your life continue to impact those around you, and may your life continue to reap the harvest of your father's legacy.

Call Me Truck Driver Lady

This weekend I...

spent some wonderful moments at Ryan's (aka The Nursing Home Cafeteria)

fell in love with Jonah all over again

said, "Thank you Jesus" after glass items fell without breaking - only 100 times

watched my Christ-like fiance' go without sleep because he loves me

realized what a good problem solver Jonah is

should have been born a princess - they do not have to move their own belongings

oh, and drove a truck! A very big truck, with lots of furniture in it!

What a great weekend....
