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.

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.

Assateague.

Assateague. A new kind of swear word, or a wild horse Island on cost of Maryland? I spoke with a friend of mine on the phone the other day. He had been wondering why he hadn't seen me in awhile, I explained that I had gone east to Delaware, there we,( we being my house mates and I) , Had adventures and time next to the ocean. While we were there, I explained that we had visited an island called Assateague. His response made me laugh" pardon me" he said." No,"I said, "I'm not swearing at you." There are these Islands called Assateague, and chincoteague. They are located in Maryland and Virginia. The Islands are national wildlife refuge. One kind of wildlife are the wild horses. We saw them up close and personal, that was unexpected. We're all ok though, and the horses only wanted to say hi, and see if we would feed them any of our strawberries. The strawberries were mine, and I was not about to give them up to a horse, no mater how wild he was. ...

To Kill a soul.

When I was young I think everything was new and it was easer to look with hope on the future. Now on the other hand, it seems it's harder to do so. I don't think I should be having this issue. If it weren't for a walk with God, my soul would be dead right now. These days I feel like my insides are holding on by way of the tips of my fingers. I feel my mind slipping slowly from the edge of the huge ravine that doesn't have an end. Though part of me, probably the part of me that God occupies, says, "let go trust." I'm not sure what it is I’m holding on too still. Maybe it's marriage. I don't want to lose hope for that though. The vast abyss of adventure calls to me to let go. When I was young, I would climb the best trees in the neighborhood. I often tried to find the highest limb I could jump out of with out hurting myself when I landed. I loved climbing and jumping out of trees. There was always that moment just before I leapt of, owo...
