Subject: Picture it..(again)

I was loaned this MuteMath Cd and this song "Picture" came on and it went straight to my heart. Although this song can be made out in many ways
what it means for me is what I hold closest to my heart.Almost, like one of those photos you keep with you forever.... Mine just Also happens to be the one thing that I hold very sentimental to me and treasure forever not by whats its worth but by what it has meant....that is my eighteen year old brother whom died of cancer in December and in this picture is I, Ryan,
and our father Jesus Christ
 
.When I think about when this picture was taken, one that when looking at it can say it is "so much more than a thousand
words" ..it is like the song says, "a Picture of you and Me, always, and in this photograph we're safe"..there was a long period of time, four years
time of heartache, tragety and longsuffering for both of us in which had faith would be outcome someday just didnt know when and how
 ....it became a practice for me in trusting god that it would atcually end somehow and this caused me Great fear... It was more so for him
 in which i knew trying to help relieve him of that hurt was what would pay off in the end. But He thought after he made it the first time in remission, given second chance at llife after losing everything from brain damage, was Here to play music and bring on a revolution with his band Reddawn,taking a look at the name, but had no idea what REallY was in store after years of complictationsand didnt know that was going to be not only become his"Safe Place"of purpose and happiness was landing him in heaven!
 
 It would seem like the skys would clear..than a storm would strike and there it was another battle of repent and survival for us...again and again and again,
the neverending story of trials and adversity....But It did reach its final stop, and taking a look at this picture reflecting off of what "Was" to be some of the most
unbelivable times of my life made up of several "Blurry" pictures taken over and over again and plastered everywhere to face it.... I saw
how my brother got to the point where he wanted to be in the hands of god instead of holding onto what he had here that was holding him back, as tho he was
holding onto his life like a picture that had his life written on for Hope, not letting go of what he percieved of himself here because it was very hard for him to accept, something that alot of us do...but this wasnt what was "Truely" destined for him like most who pass..but it wasnt untel he said HIS NAME, that name... "JESUS" ,that awakened the sense that was left out of him To see THE Big PICTURE As will that same Awakening will take place in this caught up world that longs for something MORE!!..His last words were "it is okay""I see jesus" He saw heaven and wanted NOThing ELSe, under such pain NOthing could take him away from what he saw and wanted nothing more than to be with him! Revival can take place ANYWHERE to show people whom havent seen the truth and heavens to see What GOd IS doing and you dont have to PAss away in order to be revived at the most to know the truth, im j ust fortuante to know the truth... but it must be done on EARTH...HERE to Bring People to that place where hands are dropped, people sit back in their hospital beds and church seats IN AWE of SOMETHING THEYCAN SEE FOR THEIR VERY EYES!!!!!!!!THE TRUTH!WE ARE PART OF THAT CHANGE  why do I write on here, cause WE CANT HIDE IT FROm the unknown world.
to look back at this picture I have in my head about "wasted time"....????..How dumb was I....  and now that its God I see because I finally was able to understand that this wasnt but anything to bring harmony and truth to peoples lives..thank You lord for revealing this in a way that wasnt so hard to see. Was I to continue holding onto the camera "hoping that things are as they should be" in the way I saw them.."looking back at the remains those fallen years?" Pondering off of the picture scraps I had left of my past as a burnt offering and sacrifice of my time for all those In my family, life and him..Wouldnt THaT be a rude awakening... be he spoke to me quietly and tapped on my shoulder and said "Hey OVER Here."
.and didnt even have to get his attention....HE has THe answers WE just have to Ask them and have faith in Him even if its not what we want, He wants something More! People long for something New, and purposeful for their lives but it is when you want something MORE FuLLFillING and fruitfull made of different vibrant colors and light wheras plain and tolerant to make sense out of it... once you pertaken the truth of WHAT IS GOOD theirs more to the picture than was before hard to see and digest, because it wAs ALL about YOUrself....and it irritates you when things dont come out Vibrant in the Goodness of our lord..FULLY, but Eager to do something about it is what you long to do..
 
These are the things that tap into gods desire and he sees what details are missing in order in order to create the perfect picture that has been prescibed for you but it starts with You!HE than TAkes on From there. Its starts with HOW much YOU want IT! SO you ask him and you wonder what he wants you to see in this picture you have in your hands and listen when he says to you "well thats just me, your God you need to see" and there HE IS his right there infront of you, bugging you every second,haha,...and you look at this picture that now has become more that what meets the eye
 but your heart rejoices for the place of "AWE"it puts you in, pondering, wondering, and wanting to know every little detail that makes this picture stick out to you. Not You anylonger But him..you've become such a small part of the whole picture that everything in it is small fragments of what god IS,small colors, made into ONE massive body of understanding a prism!!After learning off of my brother. god takes ahold of your camera that holds so much value and worth to you because This is What you have used for so long to capture the important things in your life. and than says to you"LET GO AND GIVE IT TO ME" destroys all your small snapshots you took to put together to find "focus"on the things in life that made sense and found purpose for you and beguins to fill in missing areas, with bright colors to see youself in the way he sees you not of the way of the world..But striking, Bold, and A ray of light!
Only possible by the work of HIS very hands...erasing the flaws we gave ourselves....disposing and washing away all those in his blood , and than pinned up onto a mantle for all eyes and wonders to see and not just stare at, look or glace at as we pass by from time to time but to take with us in rememberance of HE who is In US.
Focus on the masterpiece that he has made you to be in His special light he provides knowing is impossible to see clearly without like darkness does. He is made of SO many colors, lets embrace it, and become One with this picture that holds our true destiny.......Him.
 
Look at it and never look back without a smile
even if that means paying the price to follow once you look ahead
DIrty face
dirty hair
DIrty feet
torn wings and all
 
Follow anyways...
