Downloaded some awesome jazz music, but strangely enough, as I played it, I literally felt a spirit of jealousy overtake me as if someone else was not happy with me playing it at this time... It seems to be ok when I am photo shooting... Switched back to Israel and other artist of the like and the feeling left... It has got to be weird or strange to bring (God I assume) this close and know that his rebuilding of my soul is interested in what I listen to... http://jpringlephoto.multiply.com/journal/item/704/Music...

So many times I asked how do I not get intimately involved with so many visual beauties crossing my lens... My answer is always the same...

Wed, 2 Jul 2008 17:59:39 -0000 I have to work on my gentle (men) skills I went to a local photo store to pick up a paper for a background to use with my headshots. The Lord must have directed me to the wrong floor to blow past some time. Once I found my way back to the area that I needed to be, I proceeded to order one super black and one super white roll of paper at $21.50 each. While waiting, I heard the patron speak to another concerning a great looking girl that he has decided is too much for her, with the pun that she has too much drama lately… I felt a desire to quib in but held my tongue. What came across my mind to cast at them both was the fact that by in large, if a woman would simply grasp upon the power of her heart towards wholesomeness, she would leave him in the dirt when her eyes were open concerning God. Her mistake being that she has not understood yet that men are not GOD, and that she has placed far too much of her heart at the feet of this loser. How I would have said it would have come out in other words such as… When she du... http://jpringlephoto.multiply.com/journal/item/702/I_have_to_work_on_my_gentle_men_skills Tue, 1 Jul 2008 15:14:49 -0000 Sunday's Shoot... Designer Aparna http://jpringlephoto.multiply.com/photos/album/92/Sundays_Shoot... Tue, 1 Jul 2008 06:10:02 -0000 The Sunday Miracle… There have been many since the NC group arrived, even before, but to focus on just this… Sunday is my day to be involved in spiritual family tangibly, but throughout the week a fellow designer student was asking me to work with her on a photo shoot which ended up happening on Sunday at a office on the lower west side. I did not want to go but felt such a pull in my heart from God to be there. I went and felt comforted and anguished at the same time, but felt better when the Lord hammered out some kinks… Other than the fact that it was a four look photo shoot, which should have taken no more than four hours, it became a long day from 10:30AM til 08PM, making it a challenge to get back to church to see off the NC group. I was able to slip into the service as Pastor Adam said some awesome things… I then saw off the group, which was a beautiful time, and another thing… You see, I met one of the new NYC students on this journey over the past two weeks and promised that I would help... http://jpringlephoto.multiply.com/journal/item/701 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 17:20:28 -0000 To Bliss or Miss... Here then is the larger picture that I understood. When God wrote the LAW for Moses to carry to the people, there was much bickering since many had fallen at that point short of the heart of God via their choices. Having now an understanding of compliance via the LAW, many murmured and complained about the legalistic side of their standings, having found themselves under many offences as come to light from the LAW. (Figuring out at what point of the relationship did God give the LAW), bbk. Before the separation and entering into the promise land. We too, get into relationships with passions and personal perspectives concerning one another, hoping to bring to fruition these things in our hearts concerning one another, as our heart describes that lover to ourself. But when the (law/dictionary) of our hearts are truly known, after fear and hope of disconnect through promise is conquered, having said I do, many drop their sheathe of shame upon their selfish character and bring out th... http://jpringlephoto.multiply.com/journal/item/700/To_Bliss_or_Miss... Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:15:17 -0000 A common question amongst the group was... When dealing with cases of homosexuality, how do we proceed... A few great thoughts were brought to surface... The first is that God does not turn a human into a reprobate mind, but that the word means that God loves you so much that with our free will in tact, he will tearfully let go of them who choose such a lifestyle (turn you over to). Hoping that men will come to their sense and let go of the root cause of such, which is rooted in idolatry and self exaltation. This is the purpose of kindness, and protection when a person falls into these things, that they are vulnerable in confession but protected from human judgment, enough so, that they can come out by choice in heart, and not by an unrepentant tongue of self indulgence - for pity sake. God hates all lying... Another great thought was that there are some whom while in it are convinced that they too love Jesus, but have made an idol in their heart as a Jesus, without the heart of God. By the way, you cannot be born with a propens... http://jpringlephoto.multiply.com/journal/item/699/A_common_question_amongst_the_group_was...

I think I will go through withdrawal symptoms... Literally... Can you imagine me speaking to a man (in the street)!!! Well, ok a few young men, who for the students was a bit intimidating at first, melted like a teddy bear before our presence after God got ahold of them and a few are now baptized! Then another who has dealt with YEARS of abuse by a continually inebriated dad whom he absolutely hated enough to prepare to change his name... (this monday coming is his 18th, when he had the right to put the papers in). Lo and behold, Amy spoke with him seven days ago and I spoke with him on the sixth day, So, on yesterday (as I chase to write this before midnight), I felt the Lord direct me to say to him "(birth name), I need to hear you open your mouth and say, Father, I forgive you", after a few times seeing him clam up with anguish, I spoke it again and again in quiet spirit until he mumbled it, then after a lighter anger said it and wi... http://jpringlephoto.multiply.com/journal/item/698/Thinking_about...

Be responsible my brother, that no thing except it be good, be said of her and you. Your seed will find good ground, not just every piece of earth... Be a real brother and help her live, that she does not have to look to sell herself to find love... Your love will come if you can just be responsible for her safety now...

The absolute best possible relationship with Jesus or anyone begins and ends the day on the tongue. He has spoken you into existence and you have a chance to birth him into your heart. Sweet talk him with your tongue of love, not offering anything since you cannot purchase his love, but to entice him to come unto you within your soul. Prepare yourself, that he might find you delicious to hear and speak to, for it is when you kiss his tongue with your ear that he will bring a single candle light and enflame you with a heart towards him that will never cease; unless of course, you forget daily to speak him into your space… He wants to envelope you with such love that your belly cannot take another minute of it and simply strain to push him away, as you hold tightly. He is the greatest lover ever and none can mimic his quality. But another may let him into himself and bring himself unto you as a day-to-day playmate in the midst of your responsibility. Be beautiful and let h... http://jpringlephoto.multiply.com/journal/item/696/Taste_Hunger...

Regardless of purpose or inspiration, words are powerful... Love, like faith, has it's place, but building takes a labor in the physical realm. One connects the other, being otherwise dead.

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 13:19:34 -0000 Keeping it in the box… (not for religious hearts, shy of God's love) Psychosomatically, I have always been fond of geometry, even as much as I understood it not. Something about understanding the bounds and less that struck me in some form of unity or chaos. So much so was this inner heart perspective, which spread over my eyes towards everything that I saw. Relationships became organized in a manner of priority where boundaries had meaning and overstepping them was taboo. Never was I able to encroach upon my assumed liberties unless its liberty was specifically verbalized, no matter how deaf the other was towards my real or assumed sight of their potential. This greatly limited my actions with, no matter how full my well was towards that one. Clarity often showed its face in the other’s concern or fear, regardless if self inspired or fed of a third party looking on. Faith birthed my excitement as faithlessness spawned anguish. Fondness often found itself an ingredient of mine, and in time, taste allowed with tender indulgence.

A former Chicago securities trader and a recovering alcoholic, the 47-year-old Hartland, Wisconsin, resident spent two decades of his marriage stringing together empty promises and hollow apologies. First, because he was a workaholic, and later, because of his drinking."I wasn't always there for my family," Bohl says of Vicki, his wife of 24 years, and his two children. "I'd say, 'Hey, I'm going to go do something with the guys,' or, 'I'm going to do something at work. I'll be home at six for dinner.'"Then he'd waltz in drunk or exhausted from working at 8 or 9 p.m., apologetic but ultimately unrepentant."When I was drinking, I was always sorry," he says. But, "it didn't mean anything. Because although I felt it and expressed it, I never took responsibility. My priorities were screwed up."When it comes to politicians, athletes and other celebrities, apologizing has become a highly public and somewhat predictable event. Tears are shed, repentance is promised and the news cycle spins onw... http://jpringlephoto.multiply.com/journal/item/693/LifeWire_--_David_Bohl_is_no_stranger_to_apologies_--_the_good_the_bad_and_the_insincere. Fri, 27 Jun 2008 11:53:29 -0000 My spirit awakened me in prayer... My spirit awakened me in prayer and with my sleepy eyes, I began to realize that there was a power using my tongue, quite familiar to me, although I could not understand its language. Even as my heart has been filled to its max capacity, over flowing with the life and love of God through his own youth, resonating his heart in mine… And I heard the spirit ask the spirit to remember O Lord, the forgotten word that had been put aside from men’s hearts, darkening the hearts of men and women, that their soul sought the idolatry of money, forgetting the fullness of life in the spirit of family. God, it asked, that you remember yourself upon the hearts of men, that you might be lifted up again upon the tongue of men. Let yourself O Lord, spend a raining down in our dryness and be enlivened again, never to be forgotten, and that you will lift yourself above the heavens, forgiving and sending out grace in abundance, throughout the darkness. And the Lord went over to the child that he pla... http://jpringlephoto.multiply.com/journal/item/692/My_spirit_awakened_me_in_prayer...

So, after a joyous 32 names being added to the heart of God by decision, we ask that each of us pray for them that has decided to take Jesus on their journey. Of course, there are a number of us from MSNY that are connecting with each and every one of them, but quite frankly, it is the HS students from NC, who gave up two weeks of their summer fun time, that reached out to these new souls and for that we rejoice... http://jpringlephoto.multiply.com/journal/item/690/Soul_Soldiers_on_the_battlefront..._Week_two_day_one... Wed, 25 Jun 2008 05:23:42 -0000 Why religion does not work. To force a human spirit into a box is to ask them bluntly to rebel. Love lives with open arms and foot space. The LAW is not a prescription for death but a description of sin’s folly. We fall because we choose not to walk with relationship in the father. His ways are so simple that it is past finding out. Simply love one another neighborly (respectfully).As one writer puts it... to love is to prepare for our reception, if you will but receive my love... but if you choose not, it will still be there for you, however you limit yourself to it.Religion is a class system set up by those who think themselves first and all else peons. http://jpringlephoto.multiply.com/journal/item/689/Why_religion_does_not_work.

Although this book is stated to stand as fiction listed, I must tell you, it resonates with so much power that it is over flowing in strength. It does not matter where you are in Christ, this book will entice you so much closer to God... Along with the youth ministry happening right now for the past and next week, there is a revival stirring in this city... I want it to reach you too!!!
