Eat. Drink. Rest. Eat. Drink. Rest



Cleansed and Redeemed

Revelation 1:5-6  And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead,and the prince of the kings of the earth.  Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood.
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father, to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.


Feeling over whelmed and under helped in daily life?  Me too.  I am writing this to encourage you as well as myself to move forward.  Daily life and the weariness of the day in and day out toil of life can drain your smile right out of your soul!  Weariness in a world filled with trouble is a common complaint.

Yes, God knew there would be days like this.  So He gave us His Son, His Spirit, and an instruction manual to keep us on course when the winds blow, or the waves try to knock our house down. AKA..the house being you and I.

I am praying for you, where ever you are on this journey in life. Praying that once again you can see the beauty in the smallest things.  That the eyes of your understanding would be quickened by God's Spirit.
Move forward in your commitment or recommit yourself to seeking Him, to sit at His feet and be refreshed. He loves us so.
In the natural as well as the spiritual world there is a season for all things.  Allow a sabbath rest to incubate the seed of God's word to bring a fresh harvest of delight to your soul and mind.

Most things are not a quick fix.  Some days you may not feel like seeking or sitting.  Do it anyway. Possibly, you read the Word and feel nothing?  Read it anyway.  Most of us do not enjoy every bite of food we consume.  Yet, to stay alive, we eat.  Whether your flesh rejoices or not, your spirit is refueled and you are renewed in the spirit of your mind by His Word.

You were made for eternity. Eat like there is no tomorrow.
I know...think about it.

~Debbie


Mark 6:30-31  And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.


Matthew 6:25 
John 6:55
1 Corinthians 10 
Ephesians 1:7
Ephesians 4:23

Singing Encouragement-Overcoming Fear

Never forget God loves you, we all have opportunity to start again, to call upon His name. Sometimes, obedience involves vulnerability. Mine. Overcoming fear. I am singing 🎶 with Jeremy Camp’s song “Getting Started” ~Debbie Prayer: Father God, thank you for the wooing of your Holy Spirit. Thank you that you never forget us, thank you that you want us. Open our eyes to see ourselves the way that you see us in Your Son, Jesus Christ. In Jesus name. Amen Lyrics for this song Getting Started Are you running 'round in circles with no place to go? Is there a person in the mirror you don't even know? Someone still sees who you are, yeah Were you the kid that was a dreamer, now you don't believe? Are you the lock that got so broken, now you lost the key? Someone still loves who you are, yeah To anyone who ever lost your way To everyone who ever felt ashamed Here's a song for all the broken hearted I believe you're only getting started To anyone who trusts in Jesus' nam...

At Heart I Am a Child

At times I publish some of my poetry from my poetry journal, Letting Go of Cockatoo Dreams. Here is one of my poems. At heart I am a child  and the world and its trappings to much to bear I am hidden  as I pool my tears behinds eyes and ears Hating the soul tear that rends my resolve to not cry To not care To hold my resolve   a broken baby doll And then I remember daddy My father, God who holds me gently and gathers my tears Who reminds me while my sobs still hang in the air Hush my child It is alright to care To fall, yet fly,  under girded, safely guarded  In the shadow of His wings It is there  that I fly At heart I am a child learning to forgive, learning to forget pressing forward unto a new way At heart I am a child His child and today  is a new day ~ 2012 Debbie Turner Chavers Psalm 56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into th...

3 Poems From my Journal

A Weighty Matter I eat I am hungry Hungry for answers With questions unasked With issues to large to fill a plate So I eat Trying to fill the emptiness of areas broken With food That will not fill or heal And so I pause Hand mid-air Reaching upward Instead of inward Waiting to be filled. © 2014 Debbie Turner Chavers ...
