HELLO MY SPRING HEART PARTNERS! I hope you are all getting ready for SPRING, PASSOVER, and RESURRECTION SUNDAY! I SURE AM READY! I hear HIS whispers, feel HIS breezes, and see HIS blossoming all around me! Recently, as you may have seen in my GRACE GARDEN pics, I am raising “GARDEN STONES” so, as I am watching them transform our FATHER began speaking to me about YOU AND ME as HIS LIVING STONES! Hmmmm…what does this mean for us today? Let’s dive into HIS word, and then see what we can see and discern in our lives right here and now!

1Peter 2:4-8 TREE of LIFE (TLV) “As you come to Him, a living stone rejected by men’s but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house—a holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable through God through Messiah YESHUA. For it says in scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen, precious cornerstone. Whoever trusts in Him will never be put to shame.” Now the value is for you who keep trusting; but for those who do not trust, “The stone which the builders rejected— this One has become the chief cornerstone,” and “a stone of stumbling and am rock of offense.” They stumble because they are disobeying the word— to this they were also appointed.” AH-HA we are HIS living stones…but lets thumb back to ISAIAH 28:16 “Therefore thus says ADONAI Elohim: ‘Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, a costly cornerstone, a firm foundation— whoever trusts will not flee in haste.” PSALMS 118:22 “The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone.” Okay we see it and hear our FATHER loud and clear…YAHUSHA is our CORNERSTONE! HE IS our model of how to be HIS LIVING STONES…for people everywhere who are hurting, discouraged, hopeless, and truly without HIM! But, in order to KNOW how to be HIS LIVING STONES…must we understand, and possibly endure REJECTION? MAYBE…but also we must LEARN, and KNOW how to LIVE as STONES for YAHUSHA in order for others to access HIM through FAITH! As I am watching my living stones (succulent plants) shed their OLD…I am inspired to seek HIM and KNOW what we need to do so our outer shell is not hardened to the needs of people in then world! While at the coast on Saturday, a gal sitting in a McDonald’s saw my need for the code to the restroom…she saw my need…my pain…really did she? She did… and got up from her break and unlocked the door with great JOY to be helpful! Afterwards I went to her to share exactly how she met my need…you see I live with scar tissue which can become very painful…but I had not said anything, or postured…she perceived it! TRULY, not many people SEE others let alone their NEEDS! I thanked her profusely and lifted her to our FATHER!

Soooo check out the 3 stones and their process of “shedding” their old…two of them, split and ultimately the old will be absorbed or fall away…but look at the 3rd…the OLD IS LIFTING OFF and the brand new is underneath! WOW…I feel so intrigued but I sit…and stare…and ask HIM…which am I? I hear…YOU can be both…but are YOU willing to be TRANSPARENT and allow those who need to see the transformation actually see it all the way through? Or will you hide and only emerge to others when it’s complete? OKAY…I am in the seat to answer…as I dig my roots deep into HIM and HIS WORD…I want full transparency no matter the cost! Is that what YAHUSHA did? A resounding YES comes from my heart! I am willing if it means more folks KNOWING and having that true relationship with our FATHER…let’s go! SHED BABY SHED! So let’s talk this out so we can better understand in our DAILYS!

If we take a quick look at SPRING…it’s all about SHEDDING and NEW BEGINNINGS! We can see it in all the little babies being birthed on the farms, the forests, and country side! We witness the dormant trees, and plants blossoming shedding their OLD to reveal HIS new BEAUTY! But, what about US? Well, as I went to the coast this past weekend…my NEW was I walked my dogs 4 plus miles without giving up, I saw NEWNESS on the beach in SAND DOLLARS, and drift wood! I heard NEWNESS in our conversations…DREAMING AGAIN!

MARANATHA…an Aramaic phrase…Oh LORD come…Come QUICKLY LORD! Right there in the harbor, as we ate our lunch with our amazing pups!

We can feel HIS breeze…HIS fresh wind! And we ENJOY every minute!

TRUE living stones…shedding and transforming as we walk and enjoy HIS CREATION! Now, it’s MONDAY…can I walk out my LIVING STONE inspiration? How does one do that after a MAGNIFICENT weekend? Oh…so glad YOU ASKED! Well, for me…I get up and move in the patterns HE has created in me…I move my body, enter into HIS word, pray, praise, and worship…I write to all of you! I look out at the day HE HAS SET BEFORE ME! I hear HIM deep in my heart…LIVE MY LIFE OF LOVE…be my LIVING HOPE as my Living Stone! I pause…I can do that FATHER! I intentionally choose to be STEADFAST and UNMOVABLE as I will go through my day with HIS purpose! I am picturing now…being HIS LIVING STONE! I will intentionally and with robust attitude connect myself to YAHUSHA and HIS plans for me…and I will stay stuck to my CORNERSTONE! It’s all a choice that we can make daily and moment by moment! I CHOOSE! Can you surrender, submit, and let go of YOUR old, YOUR plans, YOUR desires, to see what HE has for YOU? If you are sighing heavily right now…YOU are not alone…Let’s bear one another burdens, do the heavy lifting together…we will be better together when we are focused on LIVING for HIM! Let’s choose JOY! I choose to be a PINK QUARTZITE LIVING STONE! I just love symbols! And in my mind I see the most beautiful, sparkly, and happy living stones! Did you know that pink Quartzite represents unconditional love, compassion, peace, and emotional healing? This is my ask of my FATHER to infuse these qualities into me as I choose to be HIS LIVING STONE! What stone would you choose as a symbol?

As I close for now…I ask HIM for each of us…we can do this…I BELIEVE! If you desire specific prayer please feel free to email me at danakae@heartworksintervention.com I would love to stand in the gap with and for YOU! Sending lots of LOVE and EXPECTANCY for HIS NEW BEGINNINGS!

SHALOM,
