Come Seek With Me

Hello Friends!  This writing is a remix of an older blog that just keeps growing.  The topic is so important, that I decided it needed its own space.  You see, a few years ago, I asked The Father to show me Yeshua in the Foundational Scriptures. And you know what?   HE DID! I found so many "Yeshua sightings" on my next read through the Bible following that prayer, that I started writing them down.  And now, 2 years later I am still finding Him. *** Not sure He's there?  Well, don't take my word for it... Check out Luke 24:27: Yeshua, "beginning with Moses and all the Prophets...explained to them the things written about Himself in all the scriptures."   The only scriptures that were around at this time...were the original ones...what most folks call the Old Testament.  Yeshua was explaining that He could be found there.   Wanna see where?  Let's go! Yeshua is: The Parter of the sea! ( Ex 14:13 ) The Passover Lamb ( Ex 12:5-14 ) The Angel...

  I'm so happy that you have come back to visit with me in my sukkah!  This is one we have used in previous years.  As you can see, a sukkah is just a temporary outdoor living/hanging out space.  You can find lots of ideas for your own sukkah on the internet and places like Pinterest.  I'm kind of a basic girl, but for you artistic types that like to decorate, they sky is the limit (ha! it literally is!) In Part 2 , we discussed the importance of reading the Bible from cover to cover, the basics of Sukkot found in Leviticus 23 , and the commandment to be joyful during Sukkot in Deuteronomy 16 .   Now, let us take a look at Sukkot during the earthly life of Yeshua.  What was it like, and do we see any evidence that He participated? There were 2 important ceremonies associated with Sukkot during the days of Yeshua's earthly life.  There was a light ceremony 💡 and a water ceremony🚰.   💡 I bet you recall that Yeshua said in John 8:12 ,...

Hello, and welcome back to my sukkah!  If you are just arriving, please go back and read through Sukkot Part 1 , as you will need the context.  Don't worry...I will be here waiting for you when you get back.   If you read through Part 1, you know that I became interested in learning about Sukkot during my first time reading through the Bible, cover to cover.  Let me just stop here for a little commercial break:  If you have not read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, why not?   I was 40 years old the first time I did.  I know why I had not done it earlier.  I was distracted. If you are also being distracted from reading The Word, let me just encourage you right now that you CAN do it !  It takes less than 20 minutes a day.  If you're like me, you waste that much time on social media (ouch Debbie!)  If you skip the morning check-in, you won't even have to get up any earlier.  If not, just setting your alarm a few...

  Hello Friends!  As I write today, I have been having a GREAT time celebrating and studying The Word with friends and family during the first few days of Sukkot 2020.  The good news about this feast is that it lasts 8* days, so even if you get a late start, you may still have time to participate.  Want to know how?  Let's go! First, I want to tell you that this feast has several names.  If you have not heard of Sukkot, perhaps you have heard of The Feast of Tabernacles or The Feast of Booths.  I have even heard it called The Feast of Tents.  The word "Sukkot" is a plural Hebrew word meaning "Tabernacles," "Booths," or "Tents."  I like to call it Sukkot, but you call it the name that you are most comfortable with.  Deal? Secondly, I want to tell you that during Sukkot, people dwell in sukkot.  Remember I told you that "sukkot" is a plural word?  Well the singular is "sukkah."  --There will not be a test.  I promise. ...

Hilda and BooBoo pose for a Yom Kippur photo session   Meet Hilda and BooBoo -- Aren't they adorable!  I feel certain that they would not be supportive of what I am using them for today...visual examples of the goat of offering and the scapegoat associated with the fall feast we will be talking about: Yom Kippur.  But they are soooo cute...I just couldn't resist an opportunity to share them with you!  PSA:  No goats are being harmed at my house on this or any other feast day.  My goats live the life of luxury😃 Enough of my shameless sharing of such cuteness!  Want to learn about Yom Kippur?  Let's go... Yom Kippur, or in English, The Day of Atonement, is the one day each year that the high priest of Israel went into the Holy of Holies to make the sacrifice to cover the corporate sins of the nation.  It is important to realize that this was not only a day to focus on individual sins...but the sins of the nation.  I find that as I re...

  Good to be with you again to speak very briefly about The Feast of Trumpets, or Yom Teruah.  We learn of this appointed time in Leviticus 23:23-35 .   My desire in sharing with you is twofold:   I want to make you aware that there is a feast called Yom Teruah, and it is coming soon. I hope to inspire you to begin to study about and acknowledge it as part of your faith walk. If you have read this far, I've been somewhat successful!  You are aware.   Now...what? Glad you asked! Here are a few things I would like to share about this feast: Jews typically celebrate a holiday called Rosh Hashanah at the time of Yom Teruah.  Rosh Hashanah means "head of the year," and it is celebrated as the beginning of the new year.  There are a lot of layers to this...and I am not qualified to unpack them for you at this time.  Just be aware that you will hear much about Rosh Hashanah and the Jewish customs associated with it...but it is NOT the sam...
