The "F" Word

So i am going to talk briefly short and sweet about the F word.


The ONLY F word there should be . You know what it is??



Faith.


"Now Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1)


Cause ya know we can either Have FAITH ...... or fear



Faith = forsake all I trust him vs Fear = False evidence appearing real




My Faith was confirmed this morning just by a mere breath. Just a mere breath of my brother on the phone. That's it. Sometimes thats all it takes. Just that confirmation

I am so grateful and I am so blessed to have my big brother Tristan. Tho he may be across the country.... My big brother is a pretty cool chap you know and one of the most important people in my life.

You have no idea how good this felt.



My faith was not just confirmed but re-established to a new height.



You know i easily say I have faith faith in mostly everything really- its easy- just to believe- right? . but truth is-- sometimes LIP service is so much easier then Heart service -





Lip service really is at our free disposal. Until ......God will test ya on it.





Then he reminds you just how big is your faith. He shows up and he reminds you just how big it is again-- in what you are really having Faith IN-- not yourself.. but God IN you.





Imagine God only gave Us lip service? eek... ok wait dont even try to imagine. Yet we do it to him all of the time- not just to him- but friends family- ya ya ya uh huh uh huh uh huh



Talk can be pretty cheap these days. that's why actions speak louder then words right? Lippity lip lip lip service your way around like the world- talk clean but live dirty eh? ya. talk is cheap





So yep. here i am. i admit behind my "lip" service- . Automatically my cydney reaction when my faith is tested i know i try to put up my miss thang "woman up" pants and just lip service my way around oh ya just woman up eh? you know how like some women do these days -- all woman ed Up- heck talk about lip service- how many women do you see out there today with big pouty FAKE lips- All about the volume- yet when it comes to actually hearing them open up them lips.... hmmmm.....again i say Hmmmmmm - ok so for me- TRUTH IS.. behind all of my woman up Pride yes my pride--- even in assuring others- family friends ect that yes things are going to be ok here lets pray ----- deep down my Heart was trembling in fear- sometimes its easy to have faith in other peoples lives- but when it comes down to your OWN life.. then you get an awakening - like chattering skeleton legs underneath my skirt --- wobble wobble knees clanging eeek , insecurities.. worry doubt and what ifs what ifs..... eek! -- I tell Ya my heart was put to the test - to the line - to just take that risk leave it in the hands of god and trust GODS faithfulness. Faith and no fear.





"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. NOTHING will be impossible for you." matthew 17:21





I cant really elaborate in details just yet, my pet ... because truth is , they dont matter.. yet ..... just you wait now --- But do you hear what this says above!!-- Do you know how peuny a mustard seed is?? ok they are approx 2mm in diameter (thank you wikapedia)- i think about grainy mustard in my sandwich.. you know the ones that get caught in your teeth all the time! :) This is faith to MOVE mountains. I challenge you to believe not just thru your mouth- and let the seeds just sit in your mouth and stick in your teeth-- - but floweth them seeds and PLANT them in your HEART . Speak faith from your heart and mouth TOGETHER. this kind of faith- We need to be reminded in this kind of supernatural strength in the faith we obtain from god- That we really can say to this mountain-- BE moved! and then another one.. and then another one! ---- God would never mis lead or forsake his children- even when it may seem crazy as to what you are believing god for- he gives us dreams because he wants us to achieve them-- thru faith in him!!
God will he ever lead us thru a fire we cant handle without him right by our side to pull us thru IN the FAITH without a blemish or burn God will bring us up and out to this new spacious place . God is a god Of miracles and he wants us to rise up in faith for great and mighty things- God loves to blow our socks off in wild wild ways just so he can toot HIS OWN whistle right!? toot toot - But We gotta believe. AND say it LIKE WE MEAN IT i say SAY IT LIKE YA MEAN IT! - cause we really do mean it! - He rescues us from our fears because he delights in us- even when sometimes its hard to believe just that!.... For faith without works is dead!! "As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead." james 2:26 Not only is my faith reached a new height just this past week i hope yours will too!!!





"For we walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7).



We are blessed and actually honored we are to have the GIFT of faith!! This is Huge and we ALL have been given the Gift of faith- so move in it! I challenge you to believe god to move ANY and every mountain in your life- faith in god that you WILL reach the goals and dreams he plants in your heart! and look forward to the next... and then the next!- - Be certain of the unseen- trust god in an extreme area of your life-! Stand courageous and confident to TRUST god , almighty gods faithfulness in us- The GIFT of Faith - cause in the end it just feels so sweet- so so good ! - like i felt this past week- "Ah phew... again i say Ah phew! sigh..... uh ya like .... he IS GOD- and he knows what he is doing! He has got our backs! Oh Baby he has got our backs!

So yeah here's my bro- a few pictures I share- first one is from long ago 2002 mt tremblant. I am just so greatful for my Brother and thats why i profess my faith today. God re-established my faith thru him in a miraculous mighty way yesterday. Trist is a real IRON Gumby. Like miracle child he is thanks be to god how he has undergone some severe surgeries with his knee- a. Shattered 30 pieces- re-wired the whole thing back together.. then did it again.... extreme sports. Strong man inside out. strong bones.- i swear its cause all the milk he seriously drank as a kid. We should of had a mother cow for him in the back yard. a Heffer. Calcium = strong bones growth hormone- he is like 6f 4 super fit- i think. Trist is 1.5 yrs older then me- luckily i always got asked if i was the Big sister. He is a bit of a bad ass. Thats why i post this graduation picture on here just to tick em off. what also ticks him off is when i we play voicemail tag. I like to leave him great songs- like he is in whistler and i am in Ontario. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BVA9vWVd2U&feature=related -- this is a great song! --- wait till you now have this song in your head today! yes.... wang chung "everybody have fun".......Ha. ok push back sorry i think its in bollywood- some diversity for ya :) ( ps- i love oldies... my favorite radio station is 105.1 , the river ) I am grateful that he made me pretty tough when i was a kid. He used to beat on me pretty hard. And his friends too. I was never a fighter i just ran my heart out . However when you are a little girl you get creative in how you fight back when you have no choice.... Ripping hair out and also biting. yes biting--- were my famous defense mechanism come backs. Yes like biting. who does that? lol i did- ( today... tickling is key. all it takes is a tickle torture you know..... uh oh.... ) Anyways tristan is a real genuine charismatic man. He has probably the loudest hand clap i have ever heard. Like he can clap his hands so loud that it actually hurts your ear drums to hear. ya ok sure then have him ad in the bent knee hand clap foot stomp--- you know like country's stompin tom-- but This also was annoying as a kid growing up going to sports events. His clap. He was a cool dude all thru high school with all the pretty girlfriends after him.He has got a real strong heart and thats what makes him a real whole hearted man. Thats what makes him MY Bro. He works in sales /maintenance doing some extravagant work in whistler and its great. i must say with our relationship because like a magician pulls a rabbit out of a hat- same with tristan he is full of majestic mighty works and always has something to say that makes me laugh :) Trist loves hip hop. Pete Rock is his favorite artist and when ever i hear this song "appreciate" - it is totally how i feel about my bro. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89ED2DNja90 He loves fashion. He defiantly has his own fashion. some days the battery charge can be blinding to the eye- you will never loose him let me tell you this for sure. He can be a bit embarrassing at times. One being the time he thought it would be cool to get a rat tail. At this time i had hair extensions- long blond hair- he also wanted an extension- except just one-- yes just one way off the back- a " Rat tail" like ewh. This lasted up until he got a good job. A real job. Tristan is more then just creative very very spontaneous and this i think is where i get it from. Last Halloween party we went to together downtown Toronto - ok few years back now---- he went to wal mart bought size triple XXXL pants and double XL large denim shirt- and stuffed himself with insulation so thick - you know "jack sprat could eat no fat but his wife could eat no lean but between them both they licked the platter clean!" .. well-- complete opposite of this rhyme. He was a big boy- jack phat . Intentions Not for the mockery part of our evolving obese society today , but just so people could push him around run slam into him and get a squishy hug back from a 6f4 giant in height and giant in width... actually a hug you want to run into! i tell ya being big for a day you realize how much there is to love. a whole lotta love! Tristan LOVES Butter tarts. Ya OK like he reeeeally loves butter tarts- to the point where i am disgusted how many he can eat at once and then go ride his bike for 6 hours. I send him bi -weekly treats on a Whistler express mail package to make sure he is staying sweet enough-- in fact the latest request - was a prompt request when my prayers were answered on hearing his breath yesterday was "white chunk macadamia cyd! white chunk macadamia!" - not just from him but his roommate too! Jesus men ! . Good call- this is where i am now reminded of what nice sisters do.... better get to work- Gotta jet!

Lots of love -

And keep on keep'in up the faith !!!
