Small Straws by Marsha Burns
When you reflect back on your life, do not just remember the challenges, difficulties and failures; remember the times of overcoming, being triumphant, and succeeding. Your life has not been just one or the other. You have had highs and lows. The high points have given you courage, and the low points have brought instruction and correction. Be thankful in all things. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19 Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Messiah Yeshua for you. Do not quench the Spirit.

Isaiah 45:5 — 6, “ I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.” Remember when the word LORD is used in all capitol letters it replaces the tetragrammaton, the four Hebrew letters יהוה that is the name of our Creator. His individuality is repeated throughout the Bible, including the New Testament.

I say Yah and people say God and I know what they say. I have to relax and put my mind to bed. I am tired of being different that I contemplate being caught by a fed. I already know the government has me on red. I have a mouth and I stand on what I said. I know how easily the world is led and sure everyone else pays for my bread, but without Yahuah, I'd for sure be dead. What's your hand gonna do against an sks shooting some lead? Organic matter is the best med. I can see what is coming ahead in the long run, so much so that the world doesn't see the thread! I've seen the world and how it bled. I'm tired, but I gotta pick up my feet and shred off the trauma of what I emotionally bled. Drama is what I dread, but I'll take a bullet for anyone I feel, like flying off a cliff on a sled. I'll never be able to have a physical homestead, but I just want to have morals to embed.

Thought for Today: Tuesday September 12:

It is usually through our hard times, the unexpected and not-according-to-plan times, that we experience YHVH in more intimate ways. We discover an unquenchable longing to know Him more. It is a passion that is not concerned that life fall within certain predictable lines, but a passion that pursues YHVH and knows He is resentless in His pursue of each one of us.

Resiliency Tip #004 - Secure Communications

I would like to present several terms everyone should know, as well as several communication platforms worth looking into. Blind trust is never a good idea when dealing with the secular, trust to a point but always verify, and consider using multiple methods to add layers to your security.

One does not need something to hide in order to know that some things should stay private. Many of today's common messengers are tailored towards data mining instead of privacy with companies and governments both foreign and domestic using this data to build a profile on your person, as well as sharing this data with other 3rd parties affiliates.

Whether its your preinstalled text messaging app, social media dm's (ex. facebook/instagram/snapchat), chatroom's like discord and even your remote work meeting apps. All are built to allow access to the operators of the platform in one way or another. When using these one should always assume someone else is listening in, and always assume there is some data being collected and stored. Below are some alternative's to consider.

Basic Terms
- Local vs Hosted
- P2P - Peer to Peer
- E2EE - End to End Encryption
- Open Source
- Metadata
- Data mining

Apps
- Session
- Signal
- Jami
- Element
- Matrix

Abba, I thank You that the entrance of Your Words gives Light, I thank You that Your word which, You speak, is alive and full of power -- making it active, operative, energising and effective. I thank Your Abba that You have given me a spirit of power and of love and of a calm and well-balanced mind; and discipline and self-control. I have Your power and ability and sufficiency, for You have qualified me as a believer and a dispenser of a new covenant of salvation through Moshiach. In the Name of Yeshua, I walk out of the realm of failure, into the arena of success, giving thanks to You Abba, for You have qualified and made me fit to share the portion that is inheritance of the believers in the Light. Abba, You have delivered and drawn me to Yourself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and have transferred me into the Kingdom of the Son of Your Love in Whom there is good success. I rejoice in Yeshua Who has come, that I might have life and have it more abundantly. I am a new creation, for I am in Moshiach the Moshiach. My old -- previous moral and spiritual condition -- has passed away. Behold the fresh and new has come. I forget those things that are behind me and reach forth unto those things that are before me. I am crucified with Moshiach; nevertheless, I live: yet not I, but Moshiach lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the son of YHVH, Who loved me and gave Himself for me. I attend to the Word of YHVH. I consent and submit to Your sayings Abba. Your Words shall not depart from my sight; I will keep them in the midst of my heart. For they are life to me, healing and health to all my flesh. I keep my heart with all vigilance, and above all that I guard, for out of it flows the spring of life. I will not let mercy, kindness and truth forsake me. I bind them around my neck and I write them upon the tablet of my heart. Therefore, I will find favour, good understanding and high esteem, in the sight of YHVH and believers. My delight and desires are in the Law of Adonai and on His Law I habitually meditate, by day and by night. I am like a three firmly planted by the streams of water ready to bring forth my fruit in my season. My leaf also shall not fade or wither and everything I do shall prosper. Thanks be to YHVH, Who always causes me to triumph in Moshiach! In Yeshua’ Name I pray, amein.
