Shalom to all my Brothers and Sisters! My husband and I are so grateful and thankful to Yahweh that on the 10th a brother and his wife drove 21/2 hours to come and Baptize us in the Fathers True name and The Son's true name, now that we have come to the truth and repented...learned to keep the Torah, the food laws and the Sabbaths...Yahweh is so wonderful...now we can keep our first Passover this means so much to us.

We have been preparing for the past week, removing leaven from our homes...examining our lives. My husband went in the woods to find a staff and he wood burned Yahweh's name and the Tetragramaton of the Fathers name and the Son's name in Paleo Hebrew etc....

Just in all the preparations for the Passover and The Feast of Unleavened bread I am learning so much....I thought I would share with all of you:)
near the end of this past week I began "deep cleaning the home" vacuuming and washing down things...getting rid of foods that contained leaven etc...then I emptied the vacuum and washed the inner fabric bag, and had all the trash go to the dump...and I thought I was pretty much ready...well today I noticed I missed some cobwebs, a dead bug or two in the window sills, dust and crumbs...and that even though I vacuumed the couch I forgot to get under it...so I will be doing an even "deeper cleaning" today!
This is what I was thinking when I noticed all these things...just when we think we are doing well or ready...we find there is always room for improvement and it can always be a little cleaner...our lives as well. We always have more to over come, and more things that need to go...
The dead bugs in the window sill remind me of sin we may have repented of but the "physical presence" is still in our lives/homes such as music we would no longer listen to, but the cd's are still on the shelf, or movies we would no longer watch...but the videos are still on a shelf...just like the bug, it's dead but still in the window sill (yuck)!
The cobwebs I missed are a reminder of the sin we thought we got rid of-but it's shadow is still lurking...a little we can't see, until the light gets brighter...the crumbs we missed remind me that no matter how hard I try, I will always need my Messiah's help to over come until he returns! I think the crumbs keep us humble?
No matter how hard we work to clean up our homes/lives...we will always have room for improvements...so we must continue to strive for the Kingdom....

This is Yahweh's New Year, and I'm so thankful to be starting it, Baptized with my husband in the true Faith, walking a whole new life, and preparing for our very first Passover and Unleavened bread! HALLELUYAH!

I've also learned the more "stuff" you have the more places there are for bugs, crumbs, cobwebs and dust to hide....
Just as the more complex our lives are...cable (we got rid of that about 6 years ago)radio,internet...the more opportunities sin has to enter our lives. We need to be vigilant and on guard with our every day lives....
Simplicity with food as well, the more the food is processed, the more likely it will contain hidden toxins, chemicals additives (even un-clean things)...
So a simple diet, a simple life, free from worldly "stuff" will make our walk with our Messiah Yahushua a little more simple...it will never be easy...but we can make it a whole lot easier....with Yahweh's help and guidance.

I also want to thank ELIYAH for taking the time to make a special presentation for all of us "New Brethren" so we can keep the Passover...May Yahweh Baruk you abundantly for the love you shower upon all of us...each Shabbat and every day...thank you from our heart....

May Yahweh be with all of His children as we "Keep His Passover" and partake of His Son....
Yahweh has given us so much...

I cannot find words that fully express the joy that is in my heart towards Yahweh....I am deeply humbled and in awe that he has revealed to us...His precious Name, that He gave us His Only Begotten Son Yahushua...and has revealed his Sabbaths to us....May we all take time today...to reflect upon His greatness, His love, and I wonder if we ever realize the Sufferings Yahweh must endure...when he sees sin abound...love growing cold....and I read today how he takes no pleasure in destroying the wicked....how His heart must ache.....
We as His children can bring Him joy by walking in all His ways.....just my thoughts any way....
I love you all...Shalom:)
