November 27 Song of RebeccaTrish gave me the idea! I wrote this back in 1999 for a church amateur nite!
SONG OF REBECCA
My Jesus, THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR.
You are THE DESIRE OF MY HEART,
and MY SONG night or day.
What a TREASURE YOU ARE!
You knew me in my darkest hour,
when I could speak to noone but You.
But behind my locked door You heard,
and You, alone, knew...
THE LOVER OF MY SOUL, Lord it is You,
and forever will be.
Noone else can compare to You,
that, NOW, I can plainly see.
Now, tell me, how do I repay YOUR LOVE?
For all I have is already Yours.
All I can do is to be YOUR REBECCA
and confess my UNDYING LOVE for You, my Lord. The Mind of ChristSince I'm doing a teaching this week and next on the mind of Christ, Christ is showing me
how creative and deep His mind really is. "For who has known the mind (the counsels and
purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and GIVE HIM KNOWLEDGE? But we
have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do HOLD THE THOUGHTS (feelings and purposes)
OF HIS HEART?" I Corinthians 2:16 (amp)
So, as I read this verse, those words that I italized jumped out at me just then so I'm reading
into those words that He will make clear to me the desires of His heart and as I act upon His
will, I will be operating in His mind?
 God is so good to me, in my poetry and in my counseling of others I have always tried to yield
myself to the Holy Spirit because I know there is nothing in me of value w/o Christ. I try to
remain humble but retain that holy boldness when approaching the Throne of God. November 25 The Humanity of ChristA friend posted a good question on a forum and I'll share-any insights or revelations will be welcomed! She wanted to know
why it is is easy for us to accept the divinity of Christ but we find it harder to relate to His human side? I think it scares us
to think of Christ as human yet w/o sin because if somehow we can ignore His human side we have an excuse to remain
in our sin. Take for example, the Song of Solomon (my fav book of the bible), most people do not want to acknowledge Him
as THe Lover of our souls, as if acknowledging such passion is "dirty". So, what say ya'll?  November 22 HAPPY THANKSGIVINGI wanted to wish EVERYONE a happy and blessed Thanksgiving with a special reminder to
give a special thanks to our Father of Lights from where all blessings flow! So, when sitting
down to have your turkey dinner, give thanks to our glorious Lord who so abundantly provides
for us! Believe me, I spent a Thanksgiving in a third world country one year and since then I
know what the real riches of Thanksgiving entails! Be blessed, in Jesus' name! November 20 mannersToday, I went christmas shopping with my sister and my niece. Now here is a story to the people
that say today's youth don't know respect. We were in the checkout lane and there was an elderly
lady behind us in a scooter with a basket full. W/o the lady asking, Josie reached over and put all the
things in her basket on the counter for her. The lady thanked Josie and my sister and me were so
proud and told Josie that! Nobody asked Josie to do that but obviously she just knew, instinctly, what
was the right thing. Josie hasn't been raised in the church but obviously she has been "watching"!
So, children today are no differant from the youth of the past except they are exposed to more
bad influences, we must counter those influences by OUR behavior! November 19 WHY?- A POEMWHY?
BY REBECCA MYERS, 11/19/06
In Memory of Domestic abuse Victims Who have died and to the "victims" that are still living.
We know why it happens,
yet it still breaks our hearts.
And, we know where it ends
but do we remember where it starts?
Supposedly, we live in a "civilized" nation,
so why does this still go on?
As victims we curse the day we were born,
we feel like the proverbial dog.
Why don't we leave our abusers?
We have connoted love with pain.
So, we let them put us back in that "place"
and BOTH our scars remain.
The voices are still there and we know,
everytime you tear at the band aid it bleeds.
So, who will help us fend off the "monsters"?
There must be One Who SEES.
"God replied, I AM the One Who Always Is. Just tell them, I AM has sent me to you." Exodus 3:14 WORSHIPToday, I've been feeling a little under the weather and very sleepy for a couple days so this morning
after my shower I felt very weak. That added to the cold spell we are experiencing down here in
Florida ( this morning was 51 degrees, BURRRR!) so I decided to skip church. I reall-ly hate missing
church on Sundays because of work, I can't get there on Wednesday nights, I love my pastor and
his family and all my church family but most of all I miss our worship time. The Holy Ghost moves
powerfully during our P&W times. So, as I was thinking on that, the Spirit whispered to me that my
ENTIRE life is a worship to the Lord-A LIVING SACRIFICE-because I do not limit my worship to Sundays
only but wake up ea morning in an attitude of worship, telling the Lord how much I love Him and
I ask Him to open my eyes to the ways I can serve Him today. That revelation blessed me and it
moved a mountain in the spiritual realm for me as well. I have a performaced based personality
that comes from trying to please my father when I was younger so grace always been hard for
me to understand-FOR ME ALONE. I am very good at extending grace to others but it can be harder
to have grace on myself. I AM A WORSHIPPER! and God delights in ME! November 16 Jail ministryToday, I felt really unfocused going into the jail. I didn't sleep very well, I'm worried about a friend
who is in an abusive situation and the abuse seems to be getting worse. And yesterday, she
"fell off her bike". So, anyways I was up all night worrying. I have my awesome prayer partners,
praise God for them and others who keep me "covered" while I minister. That kind of prayer
really reveals God's strengths in my weaknesses. When I can't, He can and does show Himself
strong! There were 3 souls birthed into God's kingdom today at Pinellas County Jail! Angels are
rejoicing and today, especially, Christ gets ALL THE GLORY! When my focus isn't where it should
be at the moment, thank you Jesus that I'm "covered" in Your righteousness! November 12 IN A MOMENT-POEMIN A MOMENT by: Rebecca Myers, May 25, 1999
The moment I am quiet and still,
it is that moment God finally speaks.
It is the moment of surrender, I can't go on,
that is the moment He reveals His will.
In the POWER of those moments,
He reveals the real me
and only in His HOLINESS
can I be set free.
In those precious moments,
the shadows all pass away.
When I bow in HUMBLE SUBMISSION,
to a God I did not know.
Yes, in those moments,
I see the purity of the heart of God.
The sin in me is exposed
and I see MYSELF as the fraud.
November 10 poem A FAITH THAT IS REAL by Rebecca Myers, Feb. 14, 2003"Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
when, at first, we seek to decieve."
We need to ask God to forgive us for "the show".
because what was REALLY There, we didn't want to know.
We continue to judge and condemn others,
when there is dirt in our own eyes.
And we tolerate the very thing, the very shame,
that OUR INJUSTICE tries to hide.
But, we say, we didn't get here on our own!
Can you hear us world? Look at ME!
It becomes all about us, and all the while,
we think, that now, God does not see!
It sounds harsh, because in our minds, we do care.
I was there also, I watched my own show,
there weren't the words to speak then,
so NOW I SPEAK and I am very bold!
What words will we speak?
Or will we continue to put on a show?
Or will we ACTIVELY PURSUE a holy life?
Ask the MAN OF SORROWS, He will know.
They gave us what they had, they had nothing more.
So we recieved what we didn't understand.
We were naive children then,
now we are SUPPOSED to be men!
Let go of the selfishness of the past,
embrace the hope of Christ TODAY!
Let your faith be real!
HIS BLOOD will wash ALL THE SIN away!
November 06 poem by Amy Carmichaelnot one of my poems but I like it-"those with ears, let them hear..."
NO SCAR by Amy Carmichael
"Hast thou no scar?
No hidden scar on foot, or side, or hand?
I hear thee sung as mighty in the land,
I hear them hail thy bright ascendant star,
hast thou no scar?
Hast thou no wound?
Yet I was wounded by the archers, spent...
leaned me against the tree to die, and rent
by ravening beasts that encompassed me, I swooned.
Hast thou no wound?
No wound, no scar?
Yet, as the Master shall the servant be,
and, pierced are the feet that follow Me;
but thine are whole: can he have followed far,
who has no wound nor scar?"
This speaks to me of brokenness, the only servant the Lord can use. "It is BY FAITH, not works,
that you are saved". November 04 PicturesThe beautiful drawings on my blog of "THE BELOVED" were drawn by my friend Amy so I
want to give her the credit she deserves. Anyone interested in more, please contact me
on this blog and I will get in touch with her. I know that I speak on her behalf, that you
be blessed as you view her pictures and I hope my poetry and teachings are a blessing
as well.
Shalom,
Rebecca  November 03 The Suffering Child-poemTHE SUFFERING CHILD SPEAKS by: Rebecca Myers, Sept. 27,2002
In memory of my cousin, Brenda Forrest-Thomas, Sept. 22, 1960-Sept. 2, 2002
O Heavenly Father, You Who see all!
If we could speak, what would we say?
Would we ask for courage and delieverance
or would we plead for Someone to take the shame away?
Would we ask for your mercy?
We would want to give away this pain.
Take these tears of sorrow,
and thru this darkness, clear a way.
Will You be moved with compassion?
Will you tell the memories NO MORE!
Can You say what we cannot?
Someone has to shut that door!
So we ask, we plead, "Please take the fear away!"
Replace the rage with unconditional love.
That is the love that turned the world upside down!
A love that was born from above.
A poem about childhood sexual abuse and the scars it leaves behind.
