  • I can't break it.

     

    But can't You?

     

     

     

  • It seems like summer time always brings out my best and my worst...:-/

    I am glad for summer trips. Past: Atlanta. Two Days: Shawnee. Future: California.

    "every thought a Thought of You
    no more thought, I ought to do...
    when there's not a thing we see
    or touch we trust is true
    every thought a thought of You"

    "we all well know,
    we're gonna reap what we sow
    but Grace, we all know,
    can take the place of all we owe
    so why not let's Forgive
         everyone
      everywhere
     everything
    all the time?"

    do people actually wear this type of clothing?

  • "I want spiritual riches, the power that raised Christ from the dead, life everlasting, joy, peace, ecstasy, power, riot, to this end I labour, struggling with all the energy of Christ, revelations, streams of living water, something so mesmerizing, so hypnotic, so compelling it sucks you in, consumes you, makes you lose control, fall on your face, tears streaming, let passion, love, life, God overwhelm me for once, and not this nothingness, not trapped, boxed in by this nothingness. Look at me, I'm dead. I'm dead. I look inside of me and I'm dead. I'm never happy doing what I'm doing, when I'm doing something I'm always thinking of what I can do next. I don't want anything, not anything the world can offer. I can have anything I want, but I look at everything in the world and I don't want any of it. I had the only thing I ever wanted once, the only time I ever had it."

     

    "I love God not for what He gives, but for who He is. I love Him because He is God. I don't care how much He hurts me, I will still love Him, because no matter what I do to Him, whether I drive nails hard into His hands or spear His side, He will still adore me. Even though I crucified Him, He still lives for me, so though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. I know it's illogical, probably heretical and for most people, utterly repulsive. But that's how our love works, me and Him."

     

    God moves. I need to wait on Him.

  • I am ashamed to say I like this song; it's all Julia's fault...

     

    I didn’t wanna say, I’m sorry, for breaking us apart.
    I didn’t wanna say, it was my fault, even though I knew it was.
    I didn’t wanna call, you back, ‘cuz I knew that I was wrong.
    Yeah I knew, I was wrong.

    One in the same, never to change.
    Our love was beautiful.
    We got it all, destined to fall.
    Our love was tragical.
    Wanted to call, no need to fight.
    You know I wouldn’t lie.
    But tonight, we’ll leave it on the line.

    Listen baby.
    Never would’ve said forever, if I knew we’d end so fast.
    Why did you say, “I love you”, if you knew that it wouldn’t last?
    Baby I just can’t hear what you’re saying.
    The line is breaking up.
    Or is that, just us?
    Or is that just us?!

    One in the same, never to change.
    Our love was beautiful.
    We got it all, destined to fall.
    Our love was tragical.
    Wanted to call, no need to fight.
    You know I wouldn’t lie.
    But tonight, we’ll leave it on the line.

    Try to call again and get in your mailbox.
    Like a letter left unread.
    Apologies are often open ended,
    but this one’s better left unsaid.

  • How can one person be so hurtful? I don't even know what to do anymore...
    God pour your grace on me!
    Show me what grace is! I so long for this...

    I can't believe lies. Lies that are from Satan NOT from God.

     

    Pray for me.

  • God is at work.

    I have been reading Job during my quiet time... It is such a gloomy book but shows the depth of God's character. He is all knowing. He does as He pleases. Job was often distressed about his situation, rightfully so (or so man would think)! Tonight at church I read this verse and this is SO important to remember when reading the book of Job...

     

    "Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord--that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful." James 5:11

    I have done justice and righteousness;
             Do not leave me to my oppressors.
    Be surety for Your servant for good;
             Do not let the proud oppress me.
    My eyes fail from seeking Your salvation
             And Your righteous word.
    Deal with Your servant according to Your mercy,
             And teach me Your statutes.
    I am Your servant;
             Give me understanding,
             That I may know Your testimonies.
    It is time for You to act, O LORD,
             For they have regarded Your law as void.
    Therefore I love Your commandments
             More than gold, yes, than fine gold!
    Therefore all Your precepts concerning all things
             I consider to be right;
             I hate every false way

    Your testimonies are wonderful;
             Therefore my soul keeps them.
    The entrance of Your words gives light;
             It gives understanding to the simple.
    I opened my mouth and panted,
             For I longed for Your commandments.
    Look upon me and be merciful to me,
             As Your custom is toward those who love Your name.
    Direct my steps by Your word,
             And let no iniquity have dominion over me.
    Redeem me from the oppression of man,
             That I may keep Your precepts.
    Make Your face shine upon Your servant,
             And teach me Your statutes.
    Rivers of water run down from my eyes,
             Because men do not keep Your law.

    Psalm 119:121-136

  • "But lifting a person's heart--now, that matters. The whole problem with people is--
    They don't know what matters and what doesn't.
    I was gonna say, The problem is they know what matters, but they don't choose it.."
