that chick

..So i was reading that chick in Luke. She must be one darned persevering woman to be labelled as such. Recognised for her faith, she pestered the judge for her request (whatever it was) to get her justice. She must've been dead-set in her understanding of knowing what she should get. He calls us to not give up..to persevere on..

I don't know if i'm able to.

God give me eyes of faith to see beyond the present circumstances.

Your will be done. Not mine.

thank you all!

rhythm of life

I lift up my eyes to the hills -

where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord,

the Maker of Heaven and Earth.

He will not let your foot slip -

He who watches over yoy will not slumber;

indeeed, he who watches over Israel

will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over you-

the Lord is my shade at my right hand;

the sun will not harm you by day,

nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all harm-

He will watch over my life;

The Lord will watch over your coming and going

both now and forevermore.

So it took a procedure to trust. It took a stripping-away of my mortal body to find peace. It took my friends and family to come alongside me to experience love. It took my will to praise. It took faith to reach forward. It took a higher One to find my purpose. It took His Promises to secure my stance. It took His Son to break me away from my infirmities. It took the results of the procedure to experience grace.

i missed it..poop

Twelve

pick twelve people in your life and write out your true feelings about them. don’t disclose who they are.then tag at least two other people to do the same.

1. you amaze me. truly, i don't know how you give so much of yourself to others. may God pour down buckets of his blessings as you soak in His presence.

2. seeing you the other day reminded me of when i was 21! you caught me off guard by just 'showing up' from wherever you came from. if you only knew..

3. i so believe in you! i don't really know what else to say. funny how our paths crossed. as you've been so open and transparent to me, you're teaching me to do the same too.

4. no matter how far you are, you're always on my heart. you're the first friend that made me be so vulnerable. i remember that talk in that room that tuesday night as i read out my thoughts to you on the floor. you inspire me to always be at whispering distance of Him.

5. you exuberate beauty all round. there's so much in you that sometimes i wish i could carry you in my handbag and take you wherever i go like my purse with lots of gold nuggets!

6. i pray you will come to acknowledge Him soon before its too late.

7. how i love our querky silly moments. you're probably the only one who cops it. may you grow in stature and strength through Word and Prayer.

8. you're my inspiration, you and you.

9. your laugh and smile is so contagious! yes, i still remember the day we first met. since then, i'm so thankful He's brought you into my life..you bring me such joy!

10. how i wish our paths were a little more intertwined at this stage of our life. i still remember the email you sent to me about the listening point you were at. i never knew. argh. but hey, i love you all the same and i can't wait to be in the same place with you to just 'hang' and 'be'.

11. ooo..how could i forget you!? you make me feel so special. i don't know how you can be so humble and 'normal'. i still can't quite figure you out but i'm so awaiting to see how God unfolds His plans if ever our paths should cross again..

12. you know what? i'm not sorry. i'm not sorry for what has happened. yes, crap happens in life. it just does but i know our God. He works for the good of those who love Him.

13. whoopsie..ok 12 but i'm sneaking you in on this one..let me just say..i'm privileged. i really really am. you're a shooting star!

facts vs propositions

We children of the internet and the weather channel, we think we are the enlightened ones. We aren't fooled by anything - we just want the facts. Bottom line.

'A sower went out to sow some seed..A man fell into the hands of robbers..' Think of it. You are the Son of the living God. You have come to earth to rescue the human race. It is your job to communicate truths without which your precious will be lost..forever. Would you do it like this? A treasure hidden in the field? A lump of dough? Ten virgins and something about oil? Why doesn't he come right out and say it - and just get to the point? What's with all the stories? Some of them rather puzzling.

Jesus is not entertaining children; he is speaking to adults about the deepest things in life...Facts stay lodged in our minds. They don't speak at the level we need to hear. Propositions speaks to the mind, but when you tell a story, you speak to the heart.

That's why when Jesus comes to town, he speaks in a way that will get past all our intellectual defences and disarm our hearts.
