I Look To You!

Hello BLOG! Its been a while! Because of technical difficulties on the web and in life... I almost lost you and I almost lost myself. You were out there somewhere in cyberspace and yet unreachable. And here I was around those I loved and who loved me, and yet unreachable. For the last four months our paths have been syncopated. Your status has mirrored my status... dormant. For months I had nothing to say, therefore you had nothing to say. But today, I hear a still small voice awakened. And though it is still faint, it desires to speak... although weak. So while searching for answers and reaching out to those and that which I put on hold, low and behold I found you in a hidden place. Little did you know, I too was hidden in a secret place. And after calling a technician to find out how to make you operational again; he said "Rhonda you simply must go into "tools" and clear out all of the cache's and cookies.

A "cache" is a place that stores up and compresses hidden things or compresses what should be private information. And a 'cookie' in its simplest form can carry viruses and are accepted by default. You can open up your computer for one purpose and an undetected "cookie" can creep in the back door, and gathering information that can eventually hurt, harm, overload or cause your system to become inoperable. Together their combination can be dangerous to your computer and your website. WOW! When you think about it spiritually, there are cookies and caches that can also be dangerous and lethal to your life.

I became inoperable and ineffective when the caches of my life, the hidden sin, the oppressed thoughts, the inner hurts and pain that were compressed began to leak its poison into my system. Then the cookies or the gathered information began to be shared with others, who were uninvited and came in undetected. My private information began to translate into opinions filled with words of criticism, judgmentalism, and negative opinions...., those same private thoughts , concerns, situations and detrimental circumstances shared began to poison and plague my mind with words of despair, thoughts of failure, fatigue and even finality. I became so oppressed and depressed, that one day my system shut-down and I was no longer functioning in the manner God created me to. Weighed down by all of the information and revelation, I was forced to reevaluate why it was easier to hide in a secret place within myself than to believe that I was more than a conqueror, because of the Greater one who lives within me. My soul was dominated by caches and cookies. But His Spirit in my spirit was longing to FREE me!

So today, as I went into my 'tool box'- The Bible, I began to delete those hidden things of dishonesty and replace them with TRUTH, and began to declare what the Word of God says about me. I AM who it says I AM. I AM created in His IMAGE and HIS Likeness. I possess the Winning Image - internally and externally. And old friend.... as I begin to express the image of the invincible God in words, thoughts and deeds... once again... "I Look to YOU"!
