Jeremiah in my day

Just a cute little story about Jeremiah in my day!

As you know I like to give out things like postcards or shalom fans or scriptures written on little cards as ways to share about the LORD and it is also a way of having moments of an encounter with people in the course of the day!

Yesterday I was in the women's locker room at the community center gym, and some women were just finishing and were all changed when I was coming in. I don't know them,but they were very friendly and we greeted each other and started chatting.  I hadn't pulled out my postcards in a while and just felt moved to do so, so we all sat on a bench in the locker room and they seemed to really like the postcards and were choosing one or the other.  Then it was like I was just pulling things out of my bag I didn't even know were there! Next a scripture in Japanese  on a cute letter paper with music notes from Jeremiah, next a photo from the City of David from Jerusalem with a Psalm, and then more postcards, one with another scripture from Jeremiah in Japanese!! So now they were asking for seconds, looking for treasures, and one woman noticed the handwritten scripture in Japanese from Jeremiah and asked if it was ok for her to have that, and I said, of course, I was keeping it for just the right person, and its you!

The scripture was Jeremiah 29:11, I know the plans I have for you.
I remember from when I wrote it, it was in April! from when I sang that song at a student recital, and had written it in Japanese to give to people the scripture then!! So it really was for her, as I hadn't known I was even carrying it!!!
And my bag is not so big, it was like the Holy Spirit just filled the bag with His word and it came spilling out at even the slight interest, or rather, the great hunger, of these women!!

SO here is the sweetest part, she looked at the scripture with Jeremiah, and said, oh your name is Jeremiah!
I told her Jeremiah is the name of the prophet who spoke that word!!

And that my name is Joanne.

Oh, so now I see maybe why I wrote this post as my next post.  I have sensed partly in my break that I am to be more fully who I am, and yes, I am "Shayndel", but as that is not the name I go by, I sensed the LORD wants me to write from the name that I go by.

So this post is from Shayndel and I !!

Blessings and Shalom! ♡
 Shabbat Shalom!


And adding the scripture for you!  In English and Japanese!

"For I know the plans I have in mind for you", declares the LORD, "plans for shalom and not calamity--to give you a future and a hope."   

Jeremiah 29:11

わたしは、あなたたちのために立ていた計画をよく心に留めている、と主は言われる。

それは平和の計画であって、災いの計画ではない。将来と希望を与えるものである。

エレミヤ書２９：１１

Todah Postcards from Parsha Tzav, with cherry blossoms

Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving.

Let us shout joyfully to Him with songs.

Psalm 95:2

The Hebrew word in the postcards is "Todah", it means Thank you.  Because the Parsha we are reading now in Leviticus talks about the Thanks offering, this word was a word for this Shabbat and a word to always have in our heart!!  The children in the first postcard are each holding a letter of the Hebrew word Todah, and they are dressed in a casual contemporary garment of worship inspired by the priestly garments.  The word Todah also inspired  My challah this Shabbat, as I will share in the post to follow. This year I saw the first Cherry Blossom on Purim!!It was just one or two or three precious blossoms open!
To be continued!....Blessings and Shabbat Shalom, aThanks-filled weekend to all!

First blossom!

Postcards from Parsha Vayikra--He Called!

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.  James 4:8a

Sing, O heavens, for ADONAI has done it!

Shout, depths of the earth!

Break forth in to singing, mountains,

forest, and every tree in it!

For ADONAI has redeemed Jacob

and will be glorified throughout Israel!

Isaiah 44:23

Sending these postcards out before getting to  the official Purim Posts!

What is on my heart for this parsha, Parsha Vayikra,  is how to be like a child when I enter it.

I  recently read* (in the Parsha Devotional, *A Taste of Torah, by Keren Hannah Pryor) and then saw in other teachings, in regard to this parsha, that Orthodox Jewish children start their Torah study at age 5 beginning  from the book of Leviticus!!

At five years old, when they learn to read, the children are taught starting in the book that most adults cannot even fathom for the most part! They do not start at the beginning in Genesis, nor in Exodus.  But in Leviticus!  The reason? Because their hearts are pure at that age, they would best occupy themselves in pure matters!! Say the sages.  The book of Leviticus is all about drawing near God and how to do so, and how to purify our hearts from sin through the offering of the various Korbanot.

I love that about the children and the pure heart.  And how with a pure heart, we can see things that are pure.  Of course as adults we have a lot of unlearning to do, or rather learning anew, allowing ourselves to be made new in Messiah which is also how we ultimately get our hearts cleaned... and become more like children --!!

Our Messiah Yeshua, the ultimate offering for our sins who gave His blood in atonement for us and the one who makes us holy, says we need to be like children to enter the Kingdom of God.  It is not the size of our offering or the tithe or the sacrifice God is looking for.  It is our hearts!! So may we draw near to Him, like children!! Pray near to Him, dance near to Him, love fully a life of worship near to Him.  And may He draw near to us!!

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior.  Because it is written,

You shall be Holy, for I am Holy.   

1Peter 1:  14~16

Postcards from Parsha Tetzaveh and from this morning

You are to make holy garments for your brother Aaron, for splendor and for beauty.

---Exodus 28:2

This morning in my prayer and praise time I was reading from the scripture 
"I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty and Your wonders", 
from the Psalms 145:5. 
 

During that time I got a call from my Dad from the US.   He asked what was I doing.  I said " I'm spending time in prayer with Yeshua,  meditating on the glorious splendor of His majesty and His wonders."
There was a time that I woudn't have just come out and said that, and if I did my Dad would not quite know how to receive it....but now I can and I am so thankful my Dad replied by asking if I was o.k. to talk.   I am so thankful that Yeshua cares so much about families,  I felt His presence speaking to us both at that moment, to me, saying, Yes, share your love of Me to your Dad, and to my Dad, He gave that heart of respect for me, as He  intercedes exquisitely to bring all our families and loved ones to Him.


Blessings in 
Yeshua, our High Priest Forever. 


Love,

Va`Era -- and I appeared (Postcards)

I love ADONAI, 

for He hears my voice, my cries.

 Psalm 116:1

For God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.  

1John 3:20

Just a few light heart-ed interpretations, drawings inspired from the first days of the New Year and together with some impressions from the Parsha
 (Torah reading, from Va'Era, Exodus 6:2~9:35, for complete readings see sidebar link to the readings!  ).  
Greetings from today!
 

The first, above, was from God `appearing`in the heart-shaped cloud.
(Remember, Va'Era means "and I appeared)

In the second I drew a frog kite,  as an expression of remembering the plagues from the Exodus we read about in this weeks parsha, and being set free.  

Therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Messiah Yeshua.   

2Timothy 2:1

As we read the parsha, look at the miracle!

ADONAI said to Moses, to say to Pharaoh,
 "Let my people go, so that they may worship Me".  
Now we read these words and Thank you, LORD.

Thousands of years after the Exodus. 
May we say, Here we are!

You have set us free so that we may worship You!  May we always remember to tell of Your wondrous deeds, that You heard our cries and You took us for a people.  
Forever You are our God, who brought us out of Egypt.

I will take you to Myself as a people, and I will be your God.  You will know that I am ADONAI your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.  

Exodus 6:7

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

1John 4:4

Parsha Eikev, a Love Story

Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4

Postcards from Parsha Pinchas

SHALOM over Mt. Fuji

Let the Shalom of Messiah rule in your hearts.

--Colossians 3:15A

In this weeks Parsha, Pinchas` opening act (actually the closing act in Parsha Balak, Numbers 25:7~9) reveals his  zeal for ADONAI.   It results in a stopping of the plague and atonement for the Children of Israel.  He received a perpetual covenant of Peace --Shalom-- from ADONAI for him and his descendants after him.  Hence the word Shalom, in these postcards.  Why the Pineapple?  Well, maybe that it starts with P for Pinchas, and Peace, and also the little (piercing) pricklies somehow made it seem an appropriate fruit for this week (Numbers chapter 25).  

Blessings and Shalom.
Shabbat Shalom.

Shavuot Diary--Postcard from Shavuot & Story of Two Loaves, in pictures

From wherever you live, bring two loaves of bread as a wave offering of first fruits to the LORD.

--Leviticus 23:17

I love the spring feasts center around bread!!

Israeli oranges in Japan

(with Israeli oranges, and following the feast days, an `otsukaresama-de` cranberry smoothie)

something new

PS  my Shavuot postings are late! But as its still the month of Sivan...still within the Hebrew month, I am seeing if I can smoothly insert them in!
For more postcards from Shavuot, please enjoy posts here. 


Blessings and Shalom! Love, ♡　Shayndel

New Post--One more for Tu B`Shevat and Song of the Sea

The Song of the Sea (above) 

I didn`t yet color this drawing! So it is a gift like this if you would like to print it out on a postcard (a non glossy one that will take colors!) , and color it in the colors of spring and rejoicing!!

After Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them along the road to the land of the Philistines, although that was nearby, for God said, "The people might change their minds if they see war and return to Egypt."  so God led the people around by the way of the wilderness to the Sea of Reeds, and Bnei-Yisrael wnet up out of the land of Egypt armed.    --Exodus 13:7, begins Parashat Beshalach

When  I read these opening scriptures in the past weeks Parsha, after Pharoah had let the people go, and God was there with the Children of Israel (Bnei-Yisrael), and  describing the route He was going to take them, I thought, I know this voice.  I know Him.   I realized that the very same hand of God who parted the Sea of Reeds for the Children of Israel is the very same hand of God who gave me the plum blossom that opened on my Shabbat table last Shabbat!! (see posts just below!)

Reading those lines,  it was a first time that I had that feeling, it was not an `intellectual` knowing that this God who is the author of the Bible, and who did all the Miracles there is the same God who I pray to and have gotten to know in my life.  It was more of an `experiential`, body and soul knowing that that this really is Him.

Let the word of Messiah dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another with all wisdom in psalms and spiritual songs, singing with gratitude in your hearts to God.  And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Yeshua, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

--Colossians 3:16~17

Dear Father,
Thank you for this special week of Tu B`shevat, and for Your Word.  Even though this is not a biblical holiday, LORD I feel you have been speaking to me through your Fruits!  The pomegranates! The Israeli grapefruit, that was in our local supermarket once again just before Tu B`Shevat!

 And  through the gardener who was pruning the trees and gave me the blossom.  Your Word is living and alive, and everything in it speaks to us of your great Salvation.   Yeshua is our Salvation!  It is only through Your great Salvation that we can come to be free and know You, and to be in personal relationship with You, the Creator of everything, the Maker of Heaven and Earth.  It was Your hand that gave me that branch, and the branch blossomed in my hand!! It was You who brought the worship song to the food floor of the department store where I was buying the ingredients for Shabbat!! It is You who gave us your Son so that we can have Eternal Life, and who sets us free so that we can Worship You!!

Dear Father, I pray blessings and a fruit-full season of blossoming and rejoicing to each one who reads this, may you touch her heart, and may she know the resurrection power of Yeshua and your great Salvation in Christ Jesus!! Thank you Father, I pray, all Glory to You, in the name of Yeshua. 

Love

Blossom & Rejoice

The wilderness and dry land will be glad.
The desert will rejoice
and blossom like a lily.
It will blossom profusely,
will rejoice with joy and singing,
will be given the glory of Lebanon,
the splendor of Carmel and Sharon.
They will see the glory of ADONAI, 
the splendor of our God.     ---Isaiah 35:1~2

Daily Bread Postcard

Shout for joy,
O daughter of Zion!

--Zephaniah 3:14 

＊

Before Shabbat service, a little girl was dancing so freely and joyously with a scarf, throwing it up in the air as she danced.  She inspired this drawing, and together with the scripture from Zephaniah I offer this postcard for this week`s Daily Bread Postcard!

May we be nourished by the word of God and shout for Joy, 

Rejoice in His Salvation

sing His praises from all the nations!

Shabbat Shalom!

Daily Bread Postcard!

I was so intrigued with the blossoming staff of Aaron, as you can see in the two posts below, that I chose this scripture for today`s postcard!

This week, one postcard in three languages!

And just to share a discovery in this week--- from being intrigued by the staff and the almond blossoms, I ate a lot of almonds this past Shabbat!  The almond blossoms also led me to look up what an Almond tree in Israel looks like.

They `struck` me as being so similar to the Cherry Blossoms, that I am sure it will lead to a post sometime on Almond trees/blossoms and Cherry trees/Blossoms!  Israel/Japan!

＊

Meanwhile, already well into the book of Numbers,
this weeks readings continue in Parsha Chukat.
If you would like to, please see link on Sidebar or click HERE and find this weeks Parsha Chukat in the list of weekly reading.  This week contains another intriguing connection about Aaron`s Staff.  I learned through teachings on this Torah portion, and then saw when I went back again to read it, that the staff that Moses uses to hit the rock, `The Staff` that ADONAI asked him to take,  was Aaron`s staff. 

Blessings and Shalom!

Psalm 104:36/詩篇104:34

Let my meditation be sweet to Him.

I---I will rejoice in ADONAI.

私の心の思いが神のみこころにかないますように。

私自身は、主をよろこびましょう。

ー詩篇１０４：３４


Shabbat Shalom!!

Thank you to all readers for your encouragements on the Daily Bread Postcard Feature at Challah and Cherry Blossoms these first seven weeks! and for  for participating in the Postcard Challenge!!  The Daily Bread Postcard Posts will resume on Thursdays again from next week! Blessings and Shalom!  love, Shayndel

Daily Bread Postcard(s)!

1. 

2.

It`s week 7 of my Daily Postcard series.  Thank you for sharing in the new feature.  I hope you have enjoyed them.   I am happy to have been able to give them out to people in my days!  The `challenge` I took on during this time was to print them and give them out, 7 of each, to people in my days.

As I went along I had many special meetings with people I would not otherwise have met, because I needed to approach people to fulfill the challenge!!  Some of the people were people I knew, but most of them were people who I met through the postcards.  Now as it is the seventh week, I am not sure whether to keep on going with it or if it was just a seven week feature.  Meanwhile, in week 7  I would like to `double the ante` and put forth two postcards.  Uncolored.  They are numbered, 1. and 2.  And ask the recipients to color them.  I also didn`t put a scripture on the second one, and so this too I will leave open and seek a scripture in this week!!

And now the fun part!!
I invite YOU to participate in this week`s challenge!!

The postcards above are for you!  Please take the one you like, your choice! And color it in your colors!  And if you would like, to add a scripture or words to the second one!
You can also add text to the first one as there is a scripture in Hebrew, but if you can`t read it, please feel free to put words that the picture speaks of to you!!

So I hear you asking, `I`d love to, but...how do you play?`
Well, since we are on the blog, I thought it would be fun to play through the blog!!
There are a few ways...

1.
You can just share in the comments and `describe` which one you would choose, and tell a little about the colors you would use, any words you would add, etc!!

and/or,  2.
You could actually drag the image of your choice onto your desktop, Print it as a postcard, then color it, and then scan it or take a picture and send it back to me using your virtual know-how.  Then I will post it next week to follow up!!!

and/ or 3.
You could write me an e-mail with your postal address and I will send a postcard to you the `old-fashioned` way to you by mail anywhere in the world!

Please join in the first Challah and Cherry Blossoms Daily Postcard challenge!
It will be one week long, 7 days of course!

I also thought this was a fun way to celebrate almost one year of Challah and Cherry Blossoms, this blog will be "1" next month! 

Be creative!  Share your colors!!

Blessings and Shalom!!

Daily Bread Post-card(s)!

 On Shavuot we are commanded to offer two loaves of bread to the L-RD, to ADONAI, the Almighty Creator of the Universe.  And to bring them from wherever we are!

Today`s Daily Bread Post-card* is a double portion!
In honor of the feast of Shavuot.

This week, I will share two postcards!!

With two loaves of bread in each!!  The scripture is the same in both, Leviticus 23:17.
I send them to you.

They are both about bringing the offering of two loaves of bread, and waving them as a `wave  offering` to ADONAI.  One is a drawing I made at Shavuot last year (below) and one is a drawing I made this year (above).

This is the drawing I made last year :





This year,  I went out early in the morning once more to wave the loaves up to the G-d of Heaven! When I lowered my hands to bring the loaves back down, there was a flash of light on the `sole` of the two loaves in my hands!!! When I saw this flash of light, I thought of the lightning at Mt. Sinai at the giving of the Torah.  I felt that I received something from the L-RD, and everything became peaceful.  My heart had a moment of existing in His great Shalom!!!

Later on, I tried to draw something about the experience.  I looked at my drawing from last year.  Although there was something the `same` about my experience this year, I knew something was different. 

The Feast Day of Shavuot is an appointment to meet the G-d of Heaven.  During the 40 days since Pesach we anticipate this meeting and what it will be, as we work on the cleaning of our hearts and making ourselves ready for that meeting.  This time I felt He really was there to receive it!  In the drawing (top of this post)  I wanted to express that `meeting`, as we lift up the loaves.

For each person, Shavout brings a unique moment for each of us to re-live that experience of the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai every year, to offer our `firstfruits`, and to re-new our commitment to Him!  I hope the drawings can communicate even the least of that in the two postcards this week.

Shavuot is also the day that we read about in the book of Acts when the Disciples of Yeshua were gathered in the upper room in Jerusalem.  It was on the Feast Day of Shavuot that the Holy Spirit was poured down on the disciples and they received the Spirit of the L-rd!  Did you know the holiday known as `Pentecost` was not a `new` holiday, but rather it was on Shavuot,  First Fruits, exactly 50 days (Pentecost means the fiftieth day, in Greek) after Pesach, that the Holy Spirit was poured out!!!

One of the meanings of the two loaves is that they represent Jew and Gentile, together as one in Messiah Yeshua!  

Hope you had/having a blessed holiday!  Chag Sameach!

Love,

Shayndel


*Each week for the past ...weeks I have been posting a  Daily Bread Post-card.  Bread in this feature refers to Challah, which this blog is themed on.  In a larger sense, it refers to the word of G-d, which is our daily bread!  Because man (and woman) cannot live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of the mouth of G-d (Deuteronomy 8:3, Matthew 4:4).  And to take that further, Bread also refers to Messiah Yeshua because He himself is the Bread of Life. 

＊

He afflicted you and let you hunger, then He fed you manna--which neither you nor your fathers had known--in order to make you understand that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of ADONAI.  ---Deuteronomy 8:3  TLV

Daily Bread Postcard!

The sky became covered completely with clouds.  I was out and still had a way to go before getting home, and it looked sure to rain.  I didn`t have an umbrella.

People on the street were opening up umbrellas or making a dash to get where they were going.  I noticed many people  had on earphones and were `tuned` out,  or rather tuned in to something on their headphones.

Noticing this, I decided to `tune in` to the L-RD G-d Almighty, and looked up to the heavens.
I began to say the words that you see wrtitten in the drawing above, the lines and prayer from Psalm 36.

Then a wonderful thing that happened,  the whole dome of the sky was activated, and the clouds reached around the sides of the whole dome.  They were shaped like two great arms of the Almighty!! I also saw another cloud overhead that almost looked like the shape of an eye.  I felt that the G-d of Heaven was seeing and hearing me.   His presence seemed so close as to be wrapping all around me in a loving embrace.

As He controls the skies and the heavens, He kept the skies at bay and  faithfully protected me all the way home.

May we seek Him. Praise Him.  And find refuge in the `canopy` (umbrella!) of His Love!

How precious is your kindness O God
The sons of man take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
May they be sated from the abundance of Your house;
and may You give them to drink from the stream of Your delights.
For with You is the source of life--by Your light we shall see light.
Extend your kindness to those who know You, and Your charity to the upright of heart.

--Psalms 36:8~11

On Thursdays I am trying out a new blog feature, which is to post a `Daily Bread` Postcard, and from there print 7 of them (one for each day) to give out to people I meet in the week.  And to you if you`d like!*.         This is the fifth week!

PS I already gave out the first of  the 7 of this postcard to a little girl  today.  She was walking with her mom, home from kindergarten.  This postcard is for her.  May she know the Lord and all His kindness.  May He bless Her and bring her to Him.

Daily Bread Postcard!

How precious is your kindness, O God!

---Psalm 36:8

I love this line from the Psalms, and it is also the beginning of a morning prayer that I read from the Jewish prayer book.  That is the book that is open in the middle of the drawing.  The books were spread out on the tatami floor of my room, and seeing all the words and the light coming in inspired me to make this drawing.  When I posted it, and see it under the blog header with the Matzah, I noticed the color and lines of the  `tatami` in the drawing looks like the `matzah` in the photo! Any chance you noticed that too?!

Blessings and Shalom!

  Yes, "7"!!

Daily Bread Post-card!

For this week`s post-card, I started with the drawing in the post below, and  added color.  The scripture is from John 4, after Yeshua meets the Samaritan woman at the well and tells her that He is the Living Water.  She runs back to tell the people about Him, and many people believe after her testimony of meeting the Messiah himself.  

Imagine, meeting the Messiah himself.  And yet we really do once we hear His voice and ask to receive Salvation.  When I see this scripture, it amazes me to think that we can really know so intimately the Savior of the world, and drink from the water that He gives. How could it be?
And yet it is!  

In the drawing, I represented myself as a child, meeting Yeshua at the well.  I feel like a child in  heart when in His presence.

`This really is the Savior of the world!`

 The truth sets us free and we want to run like the woman did and share the good news with others.   I hope that if it is news to you, you will be open to hear it, and come to the well, drink from His Living Water!

I wish us all well in deepening

our walk with the Lord in this week!

Ho, everyone who thirsts,
come to the water,

--Isaiah 55:1(a)  TLV


Blessings and Shalom!


*Yeshua  means `Salvation`

Daughter, your faith has made you well.

On Thursdays I am trying out a new blog feature, which is to post a `Daily Bread` Postcard, and from there print 7 of them (one for each day) to give out to people I meet in the week.  And to you if you`d like!*.

This is the second week! The first post-card was from John 6:35, in this post Here.

The post-card this week is from Luke 8:48. 

When I made the drawing, I hadn`t yet thought about the scripture.  It was more of a personal moment of connection that I was feeling with Yeshua.  The connection to the scripture came after.
Once they came together, I decided that will be the postcard this week!   I hope there is someone out there, either reading this here, or someone that I will meet this week in my travels,  that it might bless!

I gave myself a butterfly patterned tallit for the drawing, and placed the challah in the foreground.  You might recognize the balloons in a heart-shape, they appear in this week`s Shabbat posts just below!

 In the drawing I am touching the tzitzit (fringes) of His tallit (prayer shawl).

By our faith may we be healed!!!

But for you who revere My Name,
the sun of righteousness will rise,
with healing in its wings.       

---Malachi 3:20, TLV
