here he is again in Isaiah 9:
The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness
a light has dawned.
You have enlarged the nation
and increased their joy;
they rejoice before you
as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
when dividing the plunder
For as in the day of Midian’s defeat,
you have shattered
the yoke that burdens them,
the bar across their shoulders,
the rod of their oppressor.
Every warrior’s boot used in battle
and every garment rolled in blood
will be destined for burning,
will be fuel for the fire.
For to us a is born,
to us a is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.het
Of the greatness of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.

there have been more wrathful chapters, and then in 7, there was a threat against isreal and I found jesus:
Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience of my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a , and will call him Immanuel. He will be eating curds and honey when he knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, for before the boy knows enough to reject the wrong and choose the right, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.
I love the part about the angel solving Isaiah's unclean lips and the image of heaven. I am SO glad I chose this book for now

i have finished psalms and jumped ahead to isaiah in honor of christmas. it starts out pretty wrathful, but i am hoping to get to some of the christ prophecy stuff before christmas.
in ch 3 he is pretty hard on women
The Lord says,
“The women of Zion are haughty,
walking along with outstretched necks,
flirting with their eyes,
strutting along with swaying hips,
with ornaments jingling on their ankles.
Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion;
the Lord will make their scalps bald.”
In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces, the earrings and bracelets and veils,the headdresses and anklets and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms, the signet rings and nose rings, the fine robes and the capes and cloaks, the purses and mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras and shawls.
Instead of fragrance there will be a stench;
instead of a sash, a rope;
instead of well-dressed hair, baldness;
instead of fine clothing, sackcloth;
instead of beauty, branding.
now i don't feel so bad harboring bad thoughts about my exes

i have been doing psalms again, i am up to psalm 100. i was reading the psalms when i first got sick and moved in to my parents home, just before christmas last year. it dawns on me that i have not talked much about what i went through then. i really do not like to talk about it much. i had to give up my building (and church) and just about ALL of my physical possessions and i was very sad. also, i was very sick from MS and that also was very sad.
but god has gotten me through somehow. i have my own apartment now, an am trying to build a new life. i have gotten over most of the sickness that was attacking me now and i am around my family again. i had kind of had a bad relationship with my family in the past, and it is much better now. my has given me a grandson. i have been able to give up drugs and alcohol with god's help, it is almost 2 years now. thank you god. you are SO good.

i have been having a lot of anxiety for the past year or so. i have been trying to rely on god and to trust in him, but it is not always working. i have given up my addictions and given them to him, and that is part of my problem. i think that i have lost most of my self confidence to do things myself.
yesterday, i brought my little scooter to the repair shop. it had a flat tire and i had a lot of anxiety about having to deal with it. i feel good that i FINALLY made a decision to bring it in, it was really nice yesterday. however, they have not done anything to fix it yet and i am having a problem with the anxiety again. god is more than enuff

oh well, god puts who he want in leadership. i'm going to have to go with god on this one.
i did NOT vote for the first time in my adult life this time. i could not bring myself to vote for either party, and neither could i back up the independents. in the past i have voted for ralph nadar a few times, and ross perot once. i was considering a write in vote for mickey mouse, but the lines here in chicago were being reported as VERY long and the whole thing was making me sick inside, so i did not even go.
i have considered also that the mayoral election here was also not very much of a choice, and that once upon a time adolph hitler must have been popular in his place, as well as stalin and napolean and pilate. it could have been much worse, even if he lost.
i don't mean to put our new president down. i actually considered him the least of our two evil choices. it is all in god's able hands.
god bless america!

i forgot to set my clocks back last night and i am up early for church. i am reading nehemia now, ezra was only 10 chapters or so and it was mostly names. the first chapter brings up the curse of isreal. i remember when i first read that curse in Deuteronomy, i didn't know the whole story of isreal and i thought it applied to me personally and it scared the hell outta me. i realize now that it did apply to me in certain times of my life. i am going through a struggle at this time that started when i turned away from god for the idol of addiction. i am STILL banished to a strange land and making my way back to Christ. help me god
