Words written in red; Words of Jesus
And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain apart. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his garments became white as light. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Eli’jah, talking with him. And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is well that we are here; if you wish, I will make three booths here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli’jah." He was still speaking, when lo, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him." When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces, and were filled with awe. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Rise, and have no fear." And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, "Tell no one the vision, until the Son of man is raised from the dead."
Matthew 17: 1 – 9
It is by humility that the Lord allows Himself to be conquered, so that He will do all we ask of Him.
— St. Teresa of Avila
Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful for all Your blessings, grace, mercy and for a humble spirit that even though I made my human form of mind and body a instrument of pride and pain by giving in to my selfishness and desires of under the sun, I now walk awakened to truth of the almighty power of the humble spirit that has You as my source of source to seek oneness with You through Jesus in the Spirit; and through oneness with You the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit oneness with all of creation, the universe. I cannot hide my doubt from You, no more than I can the fear which may be the drink and bread of that form I created under the sun over almost fifty years. A doubt and fear that hides itself in anger, impatience and isolation; but worse than this form became my legacy to mine. Thankful am I for the blessing of chance and opportunity and the grace by which I keep walking and mercy by which I get up after falling; and humbled am I to know how foolish and selfish I have been in thinking that I would know how and could overcome the ways under the sun. For only Jesus has overcome the world and only through and in Jesus is my hope through faith and love; and if I after almost fifty years can find the faith to walk and the hope to rise with Jesus and allow myself to be conscious enough to be led by my spirit which is my true being and what I am, I have faith and hope that Your love and the passion of Jesus through the Spirit will touch mine to also awaken to their spirit and overcome. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:
When I Lay My Isaac Down: Unshakable Faith in Unthinkable Circumstances (Unabridged) By: Carol Kent Sometimes we make sacrifices to help us get ahead, to allow us more time with family, or because we believe in the cause. And then there are sacrifices in which we have no say, "Isaac experiences" as in Genesis 22, thrust upon us without warning or survival instructions. This audio book outlines eight transformational power principles that Gene and Carol Kent learned in the process of facing the news that forever changed their lives.
Becoming a Person of Influence By: John C. Maxwell and Jim Dornan "You can immediately [sense a] spark when you hear John Maxwell and Jim Dornan talk about leadership. Their understanding of influence is like mine for guitars; it’s woven into the fabric of their being." – (Bob Taylor, President, Taylor Guitars). With influence, you can achieve success at home, work, and in every other area of life.
