In the quiet

Well it's a new year 2008, and my friend Rebecca, said that an even number year is a good one, I hope so. Personaly I like the number 8. I want to start this new year blog post by saying, that I am really thankfull for the family He has given me, I feel so blessed. Second, I want to say that I am so very greatfull for Lynne and Rebecca. Lynne and Rebecca are my house mates, we have now been house mates for three summers now. Not only are we house mates, but we have become family, sisters in Christ and friends. I thank God, because before we became house mates I had been praying that he would provide women who loved Him to share a house with and he provided way past my expectations. As iron sharpens iron, so do the three of us sharpen one another, and push each other to persue Jesus Christ. I feel that God has worked out somthing really amazing between the three of us. Also the three of us are praising God because this past weekend we signed a lease for a second year at the town home we moved into just this last August. This means there will be no moving this year. we are going to have a great party in Augsut to celebrate this wonderfull event that is not happening this year in the normal month that it would have happened.

As I sit hear thinking about these things, these good things in my life, I feel my heart smiling with in me, and true joy fills me, joy that only comes from knowing Jesus Christ, the creator of life. I have been feeling Gods silence for awile, distant from Him, but the truth is that he is still here with me he is just waiting for me to be still, and to look and see what he has done, and when I see it to remember that He has done it, and that sometimes when it seems that he is quiet ,that is when we need to become quiet to hear What he is saying. I have also learned that I have to chose to walk in faith, chose to keep going. he has given us a chose. Thinking about this exites me, and scares me just because a chose is like a great gift, that can back fire, and be horible, but because of Gods Grace though His Son Jesus Christ We can chose to believe in Him, and walk with him, and be changed by Him and He will guied our steps. I know He will help me not to give up, but to persavear and walk on, keep going. though I am weary and flawed by sin, he is my strangth and hope, the reason I will not give up. I love You Oh my God, I thank you.

camp fires

why is it that when there is a camp fire, I can't seem to stop staring into the flame? I always wonder that every Autumn when it's time to build camp fires and roast marshmallows, and hot dogs. It is my favorite time of the year though, and I get exited and lonely and peaceful and restless all at the same time. I get exited to see the leaves turn colors, and for the temperature to be cooler, I get lonely and long to share the season with someone, that someone being a husband. At the same time I find myself feeling a sense of peace, and calm, and at other times I feel restless, a longing for a new adventure. All of these thoughts went through my mind this evening as I sat next to the fire, with the brother and sister hood of the fellowship of the bride singing songs laughing, throwing marshmallow it was great fun. Thank you Father for the joy there is in being a part of your family.

wounded hearts

This weekend God spoke to my heart through my housemates, and through some ideas from Dr. Dan B.Allender and his book The wounded Heart, it was about the truth of a people who are wounded, and out of our wound we wound others. Part of our story of redemption is the wounds we have suffered, or inflicted along the way. To avoid the truth of those wounds, is to not tell the whole story of grace, and it doesn't allow us to be real with one another, or heal. As Christ's people lets be a people who really enters into the wounds that have been inflicted by the sin in our world with one another. Let's listen to each others real stories, and enter in with our brothers and sisters. I think that God has called us to that, I think this, because he entered into the pain of this world with us in the life of Jesus Christ. Thank you father for your presents all the time, thank you. Amen.

wet pavement.

Remember that song we used to sing when we were kids, the one we sang when we wanted to go frolic in the out doors but we didn't because it was raining. Rain rain go away come again some other day. Or the one about the old man, It's raining it's poring the old man is snoring, he got out of bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning. Why did we sing those songs, I mean what happen to the old man? I remember, a few times, during the summer when I was a kid my parents would let us play in the rain. This sounds strange I think, but I like the smell of wet pavement, and I used to lay on it face up eyes closed, every other sense awake. The side walk would be warm from the summer sun of the day, and the rain falling on me would be cool. I remember thinking this is so beautiful God. To know God, is to really experience life, in a vivid sort of way, to have every sense, AWAKE.
