I have read the way this conversation progresses... I am so happy... I don't feel so alone as I have been feeling since some days ago...
I have been blessed with you all... I needed it, I need it.
Ecclesiastes is the book of wisdom, I would like to read it word by word, night by night until I could, at least, start walking in wisdom... I would like to share it...
I previously wanted to give you the idea that Ecclesiastes makes me feel as if its words were scraping my heart chip to chip ... so much it is his crudeness, that I read it with certain melancholy ... and so much it is his beauty that leaves me breathing slowly for not to suffocate...
Truth about that everything is vanity - Truth about wisdom over folly - Truth about "Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man"
I watch on high sometimes asking the Father to help those who not living in luxury, as Solomon, have gained wisdom in poverty, they have lived through their lives without the pleasures, but only with the duties ... my heart cries out with such force for them / us ... that the voice of my spirit must resound in every star...
Grace, my dear sister, you are a princess because you are a Kings' daughter!!!! so am I... days ago someone I already love reminded me that...
But not because we are served, or because we are spoiled by our father, or because we are walking in mansions, or wearing expenses clothes, etc. ... no because we give importance to the beauty of our faces.
There are God's princesses all over the world, much of them have never wore a nice dress... I saw some of them in Africa.
I would like so much sharing my poems... but I wrote them in Spanish, one of them speaks about the princes of God.
I got out of the theme too... but that is allowed here, right? we must feel free as if we were flying :purpleangel: it is impossible to cover the sparks that go out from a volcano in eruption...
Jude, please join us !!!!
Arch, your words are like the oil over the wound... thanks.

The beginning of Wisdom is the "emptying" of your "ego". It is to admit that you do not know everything. It is to be small and still. It is to have your eyes and ears and mind and Heart turned "outward" away from "self". To have your Face turned to the One who is all Wisdom and onto The Word that conveys it.
Humility...Humbleness...Selflessness...Dolcility...Obedience -- are the Seeds of Wisdom. God's Grace is the Rain that germinates them into Towwering Oaks.
Agnos,
You are on your way to Sagacity...to a Wisdom that is Elegant and Pure, because it comes from Love of mankind...from Love of God and all His Creation.
Your Wonderful Childlike Awe and Wonder and Obedienceto God is Moving to hear and experience. It's Simplicity and Purity is Inspiring.
Agnos, we have many wonderful Christians here that bring many different emotions and aspects to God's word. We need your Soft Passion and Emphatic Voice, especially we men -- who tend to be hard and analytical.
Soft...Wounded...Dove. We stand and watch as your Wings Heal and we wait to hear your Song, for we know it is a Song from God.

Grace, I think they will lose the rhyme in the translation... but something could be done in the future, thanks for the idea.
Ay! I admire poets, but I am not,... One day I said to God in those little prayers in which we put those "puppy eyes" on Him... "Father, let me put something out of my chest in poetry, if you want I can because you are the poet"... He did it. I wrote some of them in Spanish, but another day I put again those �puppy eyes� asking for the permission to write at least only one in English [the only thing I had written in English was the translation of the only song I wrote] � He did it� only one, just for me to remember that He is the poet and the commander of my inspiration� As you know we write what we feel... here you have, it is very simple and addressed to people who are suffering all over the world.
......
You might say �All is over�, you might say �Love is not�
You might feel that you are dying, because nothing is worth.
I have passed through that sorrow. I have said, �I can�t stand�
I was crying in sadness, so, I can understand!
You might think you are created to be unhappy and sad.
No, my friend, you are created for the pleasure of God!
Even though all those matters and those feelings as well
He gives hope after sorrow, He gives life after death.
You can't see The Almighty I am talking about
Human being is not ready, not at least with his eyes.
Every day you are enjoying the whole Nature� staffs
And the beauty and perfection you can see at the Sky.
You enjoy love and , amazing presents of life;
So, think quietly, don�t you see Him through all that?
Listen, people who suffer: There is hope, watch on High
There is Love for your life, there is a Way, there is One.
......
We all keep some things only for the right one, if God allows it. We women will wait for him [the one] to realize that we are his missing rib... no other woman is... he will realize it in time... no matter how things are going on now... I know that he will not seal any covenant but with me... if it is God's will, if it is...
In the meantime Thanks for allowing me to share the little treasures of my heart. Everything has its own time under the Sun... Ecclesiastes!!!!... My friends, one day will be the day to leave... May God permit that we leave in holiness and with the right one... or alone but in holiness...
��
We are blessed in so many ways!!! We have received so many things from our Father, our awesome creator, extraordinarily beautiful, infinitely wise, strangely loving ... yes, strangely ..., His love is out of comprehension...
Ecclesiastes is one of those blessings... and back to the book again... ha!
Brother Arch... If you could see the Smile on my Face! I will keep those words as from the Father. Thanks.

Oh Agnos.... How beautiful... You have something hidden and powerful within you. I think, rather know, that you are a gift and a bundle of creative energy is about to explode in you! You go girl!! Like a flower, God only knows how you will bloom to His utmost plans.
I think you have a suppressed wisdom that is going to be released in you as God starts bringing more people before you to support and lift up. We all need that. The very idea that you can use the power of the pen to express life and the entirety of lifes joy,sorrow and beauty, well... not everyone is gifted to express that way, and when you know you got it, well-- you just got to use it! Never lock that away or let the skill get rusty! Love you my sister in Christ. Thanks for sharing a piece of your heart!

GraceMae, thanks for your sweets words and mostly the last ones... you called me sister!!!...
I want to tell you this... "the glory belongs to Him", He showed me that that day, years ago, when I told Him "Father, I cannot compose songs for you, but, receive the ones I sing as if they were mine"... Days after that, only days, going out from a study group very late at night I said to a worry sister, "don't worry, Jehovah is with me" and I started walking to my home. In those 20 or 25 minutes walking I just started to sing a song, word by word were coming to my lips and I started singing... I got home and I wrote it down... He gave me a song to sing to Him, my own song...�You are with me�, isn't it amazing!!!..., well, you know, first thing I did was singing it at my little church... Then I translated it to English.
Years after that, in 2005 when I asked Him to help me writing some poem, after the little prayer, Grace... I took the pen immediately and He made me write the first one in half an hour! My eyes were so open!!! guest the name of that poem ... �Who is the poet?� ... and guest who is the poet... just Him. Next day He gave another and next one another one, in 7 days 7poems, and after that some more, it was a volcano, yes, coming out from me, and I AM NOT A POET AT ALL never been��� Now I am like watching at Him� with the side of my eye [do you know that kind of looking?] waiting for some more � but now He is quite, He is sovereign.

Yes mam... you ARE my sister in Christ!
Agnos... we women of God have been called to share who we are in Him with others. That is often not defined in black in white print as how we should do it. I just know we have to be, as I was taught a few years back, to be faithful, available and teachable (FAT). Then God can use us.
We don't have to worry about HOW, or what we know or don't know... just be willing vessels to be used. Making ourselves available to be "conduits" that He (GOD) can pour out His love THROUGH US. He already knows what we're equipped to handle on His behalf...
That's what I've learned. That's all that I've learned is to just be available and let Him do the rest.
, amazing presents of life;
