HELP

O Lord, you are quieting me and sending help from your sanctuary. I will hope in You alone.

OFF ROAD

For the last two months I have been at home visiting with my family. I have had a few times now that I have felt almost dizzy for the busy-ness and exhaustion that comes from juggling so many different circumstances in a day. Then the days pile up. I have noticed that lack of prayer can cause a state of confusion to come on strong. Focusing on what I feel or see invites delusion and self pity. I have learned alot. It might take me a while to share it all before Jesus comes. I will attempt to do so, at least in bits and pieces.

Please join me in praying for my family, especially my brothers and my mom. And though this might sound like a silly prayer request - please pray that I will pray. God's will be done, His name be glorfied to the ends of the earth.

TRUE LOVER

A lover loves that's just what a lover does
A lover loves through and through
A lover leads deeper into love by every way that is true
A lover lays down His life
A lover comes for His Bride
And continually gives his all and nothing less
He never tires of the fight
He ever lives to make intercession and to bless...

"AND ABOVE ALL THESE THINGS PUT ON LOVE, WHICH IS THE BOND OF PERFECTNESS."
Colossians 3:14

CRICKET CHOIR

It is 4am and I am listening to the cricket choir now in session as I sit in this cool night air. Morning is almost here. My eyes have yet to close, my mind has thought upon a great many things I suppose. Mostly just waiting...

How thankful I am to have showered and received such grace to forget my mistakes. To be able to sit outside through the watches of the night, and look forward to meeting a new day. Thank You My Father for Your love.

SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/index.php

Day after day goes by that we are unaware of the hurts and pains of a lost world. Let us pray and seek God's face like we never have before. We cannot afford to be lazy at this point in our lives. We must fast and pray, inquire of the Lord for direction, hope and believe, and be still and listen for the voice of our Shepperd.

"Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of sorrows." Mark 13:8

"And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven." Luke 21:11

BESIDE THE STILL WATERS

"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake."

Psalm 23:1-3

It is true that He leads me beside the still waters. Romancing my heart like no other. He calls me. He comes for me. He takes me away with Him into His quiet strength. I hear His whispers in the wind and His beautiful words as I walk the path through the trees. He takes me to the mountains and teaches me what I long to know. Alone with Him, trusting His protection, I have unbroken rest. He listens intently and intercedes for the very depths of my needs. He sings over me. By His side distractions are far away. I lean against the rock of my faith. Laying beneath the stars, exhausted from the climb...His presence covers me strong into night. I need nothing else when I am with Him.

EMO

It is difficult not to be emotional when life is in your face, you see just how weak you are, but realize any strength you have is not your own. And all of this is for something so much more than you ever could possibly think or imagine. If you will just focus your eyes on Home. Eternity.

Be content right now where you are
Don't wish this time away
Feel what you feel
Do all that you do with your heart and pray
There are places yet to explore
Trust God and Obey
Casts your cares upon the Lord
Patiently continually wait
