We must speak straight so that our words may go as sunlight to ones heart. Cochise

Eph. 4:29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.



Out back in my garden, sometimes in the spring...I'll move a large stone, and a sprouting daffodil bulb beneath it is bent, stunted, and colorless. But after a few hours of light...I notice it begins to straighten, and will eventually loose the effects of being held down. We too need "a li so qui lv di," a weight or a burden, at times lifted from our shoulders, so we too can grow and thrive in the light,...to reach our full potential in Christ. We have to show a willingness to stand on the "Rock" and not stay beneath it. Whisper.... at times the Lord may use us to move a large stone that is weakening, limiting, or holding down another. Our actions and words need to reflect our faith. (Gal 6:2 Eph. 5:8,9)

What we say...reaches far. Someone is listening for hope, someone is reaching for help - at some time.... it may be us. Black Hawk

Whisper....thank you for the sunlight through Christ this past week. Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle

***John 1:12,13 Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God-v13 children born not of natural descent nor of human decision or a husbands will, but born of God.

The Cuckoo Birds lay their eggs in nests built by others, and let the other birds raise their young.

I was found abandoned at 9 months. An unwanted baby. But I know many others have also experienced rejection....weather it be in a spouse walking out, a friend who walked away, not fitting into a group, not accepted for who you are. Whatever the reason....rejection hurts....it leaves an open space in ones heart and very soul. The shadows left... whisper out for a need of love.

God, the very creator of the world and man... experienced rejection and sadly, still does today. (John 1:10,11) Isa. 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering.

After Saint Vincents Orphanage... I was placed with a family and adopted at the age of six. I'm not the only one adopted....whisper....I was just blessed to be adopted twice. ***Eph. 5:1 He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will. John 14:18...I will not leave you as orphans: I will come to you. ***John 1:12,13

He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. (Heb 13:5) In Him we were chosen, having been predestined... (Eph 1:11) Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God...(Rom 8:38,39) The Lord will never forget us, we are engraved in the palm of His hands. (Isa 49:15,16)

Say it, claim it, and believe it...I am complete in Christ! I am wanted and loved by the very Creater Himself. Say it again...I am complete in Christ! I am wanted and loved by the very Creater Himself. Say it until you hear it, say it again until you believe it!

Whisper...the Lord is the only One that can fill that open space left from another. Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle

Whisper...there comes a season...where the scars can rest...within the wings of love....and the soul within settles in peace. Brown Eagle

Are you with shadows of the past...one who has hurt or punished yourself?

Ecc 3:7a...there is a...a time to tear and a time to mend. v. 8b...a time for war and a time for peace.
Whisper...could these possibly apply even within ones self?....
Ecc. 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Isa 61:1-4 Rom. 8:35-39 Psm. 37:23

An inspiration in writing this, came from a portion of Jenny's poem... a precious friend.

" Heal me with your gift of love,
and let the brightness of that light,
Shine over us...
While the shadows fall behind." Jenny

Whisper......we can no longer see the shadows when we keep our eyes and our heart facing the "Son." (Col 2:17, James 1:17) It is only when we are facing away from the "Son" or turn our back on Christ, we then see shadows. In Christ and all to His glory, Brown Eagle

The Pit

Do you know of someone... a friend, loved one, or even a stranger in the pit? The pit of depression or of despair, the pit of alcohol and or drugs, the pit of bad relationships, the pit of finances, the pit of loss...whatever it may be, the pit knows no difference, holds no limits, or has any restirctions. The pit is one of bondage, fear, suffering, loneliness, defeat....it is a place extremely destructive to ones very soul and being.

Whisper....I'm sure as I do...you hear the echos of tears falling and the sounds of pain in the winds. Have you noticed, the more you try and reach for another in this place, the further down one digs? How can we help someone in this place, when our arm and reach have limits?



God whispered to me one time..."Love Them!"

1Cor. 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
1 Th. 1:3 We continually remember before our God and Father, your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Faith: Pray and KNOW the Lord hears and will answer.
Gal. 5:6b: The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. 1Cor. 16:13, 14 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love. Luke 7:47, Heb. 11:1

Hope: Hope that a friend or loved one reaches out.
Col. 1:5a the faith and love that spring up from the hope...
Rom 5:5 And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
1 Th. 3:b ...and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Love: Love them.
Rom 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? verse 39 neither height nor depth,....
1 Cor. 8:1 love builds up, 1 Pet. 4:8 Love covers a multitude of sin, Mt. 5:46...




Whisper....Christs arms and reach have no limits!

Isa. 49: 8,9...to say to the captives and to those in darkness, "Be free!"
Isa. 58:12b You wil be called Repairer of Broken Wallls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.
Psalm 86:13 For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths of the grave.
In and to Christs Glory! Brown Eagle

I believe each and everyone one of us, as Christians, have with Christ, the potential in being eagle Christians. The Word tells us that we were not meant to be earthly. Earthly takes much flapping which makes us tired and weary. My prayer for everyone is for many feathers to be added to your wings, which Christ left for us in scripture and then for you to soar on the warm thermal currents of the Holy Spirit to lead, guide, carry, and direct you on the paths that He has set out for each and every one of us. God Bless You! Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle

Romans 9:20...But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, ‘Why did You make me like this?’ “

Whisper…We who are clay, blended by the “Master Potter“, come from the kiln of Creation in many hues. What should it matter that one bowl is dark and the other pale, if each is of good design and serves “His” purpose well.

Ephesians 2:10... For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Your sister in Christ, Brown Eagle

Genesis 1:11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so.

"Some believe the wind exists because they see the tree move. I believe that God exists because I can see the tree."

Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking.
Black Elk, Oglala Sioux.......
Mark 11:22-25 v.24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.

If we need something and we have asked for it, then get ready to receive it. Getting ready to receive it is a part of the asking, an act of faith that the answer is on its way.
We do so little to prepare for it and when it happens the first thing we say is, "I can't believe it." Believe it, because it is the assurance of receiving..... John 15:7, 16:24, James 1:5,6, Matt. 7:8, 1John 3:22, ***James 4:3
