Thanks- it mean more than you know... 

bless.

I was asked to define the word bless...

I've always understood it to basically mean the Father choosing to give us peace, joy, clarity, direction, health, etc. through people, things, words, thoughts, feelings, or any other way He chooses.

really, as I think about it, I think anything He gives to us is a blessing.
because He gives good gifts...
and sometimes even our storms get us exactly where He wants us.
and His ways are perfect.

so in short...

bless= give something to; or give of yourself to


What do you think?

favor.

He is beginning to prove His trustworthiness. 

He is revealing Himself in ways we don't expect.

Theres an open window here... Many times we have to trust even though we don't see the end result. But right now,  He is proving how trustworthy He is... He is orchestrating moments where His glory can flow, yet He is choosing to surprise us before those moments even arrive. (right TCR?) 

And He is bestowing crazy favor on His people. If we will trust Him, we will walk in favor like never before. 

AMAZING.

Give Him no reason not to bless you.

...I will not let You go unless You bless me... (Genesis 32:26)

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. (Matthew 5:6)

Its a promise. He calls those who hunger and thirst for righteousness blessed.  So if we live in right standing with God, He WILL bless us. 

fixed.

My eyes are fixed on my Jesus who fixes everything.

Just being with him brings so much peace and joy and clarity.

Sure I still have to deal with a lot of stuff inside of me,  but He makes me feel so much better.

Its so worth it to worship in the hard moments.

and also.

Thanks Lord for using me in spite of me.

and also.

This is it for They Came Running. they are amazing. all of them.  because they know they are His.

help.

ive been way too good at ruining days lately...

i dont mean to

im not a jerk

sorry if i come across as one sometimes

if i just listen to you overreact and dont say anything 

you continue to let it ruin your day...

but then i try to tell you to shake it off

and i ruin your day anyways simply because i said something

maybe i should just let you sink down... 

(and to you... this isnt about some little situation with cleaning something up...)

thats just a small glimpse of what continues to happen on a deeper level.

and im sick of it 

and i dont know what to do....

I want to be led.
I want wisdom, not confusion.
I want to talk when I'm supposed to
and shut up when im supposed to...
this has got to get dealt with...

and then when I'm upset, it seems to upset everyone...

I DONT WANT THIS.

people say Ive got to really learn that I am not always right,

sure i know that I cant always be right, no one can, but I want to see when I am not right.

because usually when people say

"you think your always right" i rarely see where i was wrong...

thus i just feel attacked... and like they see something i don't and im never shown where im wrong... ignorance is not always bliss.

I know im not always right but I refuse to believe I am always wrong...

Will someone just show me? 

without attacking me? ahhh.... the connection... 

I had that and then got the worse attack by that relationship coming to a sudden stop.

I finally found someone who had the guts to flat out call me out when I was wrong...

I could be extremely excited about something I thought was right and he would look me in the eye and say your wrong, heres why... or at least here is what u can do.

And in that time i grew more and faster than ever...

and even tho hearing your wrong WITH being shown why initially stings, its a lot less painful than all this other crap.

but now he is gone.

thats why this hurts so bad. 

and thats why i was drawn to him. cuz i want to be cut 

and not always just be shown whats right.

and ya know what? he did care.

i know he did. he showed me. 

but then his lack of integrity led him in to a downward spiral 

where now it looks like he couldnt care less. 

because his focus is just off...

i still believe in him. 

i dont care what anyone says.

i cant just disconnect myself...

i say bye, but i dont wanna say that.

he did too much for me and so many others...

i dont want closure... 

i want to see him restored and renewed.

I believe it. 

Thats my calling. 

The one that he helped me tap into.

I dont know what to do,

but my eyes are on You.

release.

You don't know what you've done to me

and you don't even care.

Actually, you probably do know.

and you still dont care. 

The Lord lets you be intimately involved 

in the lives of those you are around.

But you only care about yourself and what you know.

You don't have the integrity to back this up.

It almost makes me want to pray 

that God takes that gift away

Because without integrity and care, 

you only hurt people.

and i'm not the only one. 

but once again I'm sure you know that too.

not that you care.

as long as you dont get hurt anymore right?

I know you know whats right

Yet you still choose to do wrong.

Didn't you learn?

That is the definition of a fool.

 

Thats one of those things

you did need to be teachable on

and you know it.

Sometimes I say a thing or two 

just to see if you take any interest at all

But all you give me is a "hey, I'm good"

and "cool."

You could at least say you don't want to talk to me.

I never did anything to you 

and  you know it.

Sure I probably shouldn't have let this bottle up, 

but I did. 

And you know why?

Because what I really wanted

is for you to talk to me

But obviously thats not gonna happen.

I don't even know

that I could believe an apology

at this point.

But something in me 

still wants one.

I thought you could get excited

for me when I do stuff for the Kingdom 

knowing that you were a voice

that helped make it happen. 

and I could have the security 

of you sending me out. 

Looks like you were wrong. 

and so was I. 

But thats ok. 

There is no void there

The Lord has provided 

that and so much more.

I don't need you anymore.

at all.

but too bad that doesn't take away 

the pain.

I defended you

time after time after time after time

more than you know.

I walked thru so much dirt just to keep you out of it

because i believed in you

and you know what? 

way deep down

I still do.

You can't continue like this.

obviously. 

we all see that. including you.

but i believe in what you can be... later on.

if you choose it.

or even now.

o well 

the ball is in your court.

but for now I must do this for me. 

I forgive you.

and you won't slow me down. 

Bye.

awake.

Main Entry:
1orig·i·nal
Pronunciation:
\ə-ˈrij-ə-nəl, -ˈrij-nəl\
Function:
noun
Date:
14th century
1archaic : the source or cause from which something arises; specifically : originator
2 a: that from which a copy, reproduction, or translation is made b: a work composed firsthand
3 a: a person of fresh initiative or inventive capacity b: a unique or eccentric person

Awake O Sleeper! ARISE from the dead and Christ will shine on you!

Ephesians 5:14

To really awaken is to go to the source. the Originator. Through Christ alone, we can be people that tap into the heart of the one who created everything. In the Kingdom should we not then have the most creative and fresh ideas in all areas? From music to events to inventions to medicines, the list goes on and on.  Shouldn't we use our gifts and passions for the things that give Him the greatest glory?

 

If the King has your heart, absolutely any passion you have can be used to bring Him glory. 

If we are going to arise from the dead and walk in all God has for us, we must go to the source and seek Him out above all else.  He created all. Everything He did, everything He made was original. 

He is the source from which all things arise.

Sons and Daughters of the Most High, I charge you- be an original that looks like the Originator, not a copy of someone just attempting to  have His power and beauty. 

shift.

I was reminded how much I look up to someone yesterday
when they made a statement
without thinking twice about it.

oh the drama one statement could cause if the right person found out.
but that wasn't a concern for them.

[Disclaimer: it wasn't my pastor so no one start anything else k?]

but the person who said it sees hope for change.
and is being the change
thus can talk with a pure and honest and loving heart.

but that little statement encapsulated so much...
and unfortunately there is no denying its truth.


"Church of God Cleveland, TN has ruined people"


that statement and all that surrounds it, is a picture of cleveland right now...
you have people that love the Lord but are confused by all the division.
they get sick and tired of it so they leave the church
thus most of the time straying away...
but knowing and longing deep down-
so they show back up.
but havent dealt with the junk
so they let it build up on the inside.

Theres so much bitterness that only the Lord can deal with.
and He's doing it.

He's shaking views
and healing wounds

He is revealing Himself inside and outside of church.
so we see the need for the church
and the importance of moving outside.


He is opening our eyes to people
instead of just systems.

The waters have sat still long enough
He is bringing all the dirt and grime and junk
to
the
top.

No hiding it underneath anymore.
Now everyone can see it.
all of it.

Yet at the same time,
He is letting us see glimpses of the beauty that is going to come from all of this.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Church of God Cleveland, TN-
You are more than a system,
You are people.
I believe in you.
and I love you.
His ways are best and you know it.
and you want it deep down.
So stay strong, stay faithful.
Because He is stronger and more faithful to us than we could ever be to Him.
See what He wants not what you want.
But in order to see, you have to open your eyes.
Keeping your eyes closed blocks out the light
and I know thats not what you want.
Wake up and see the sunrise
for Joy comes in the morning.
It really does! You taught me that.
Really there's a lot you taught me,
but seem to have forgotten.
You taught me that I won't find fulfillment
by trying to have one foot in the world
and the other in the door of the church
whatever that looks like--
be it my attitudes, my motives, my thoughts or my actions.
You taught me that I won't find fulfillment in stuff.
or by standing still in a seemingly safe place.
or even from people.
Yet you are standing still at a doorway that was opened for you
but you have one foot in and one foot out
and you are looking around for stuff and people.
And thats why so many of my brothers and sisters
are falling away from you
or walking-- no, sprinting away from you.
And of the ones that are staying
many are so hurt and scarred
that its going to have to be a
"thus and no other,"
pure move of God
to heal and restore.
and renew.
So how's that going to come?
Through you, through me.
But only if we are willing to praise
when we dont feel like praising.
and love
when we don't feel like loving
and come together
even when we don't agree on every little thing
and worship with our lives. all the time.
There's enough of us that want this--
so He is coming and He won't be stopped.
Coming with us?

[and to Westmore... don't you see? You are such a prophetic picture of a larger body... just a thought...]

change.

we're about to change the world.

its time to get crackin.

His face and His kisses and His embrace and His presence--

We must live there right now.

What in the world are we about to step in to?

Oh snap. Here it comes.

because here we come.

I love this.

protection.

the current state of my heart in a song...

"Precious Jesus"- Jeremy Riddle
Precious Jesus
Lord of all
I come before You
I humbly fall
I want to know You
More than anything
I want to love You
With my everything

Ive been touched by Your saving love
Become lost in Your amazing grace
And my heart is overwhelmed
At the beauty of Your ways
And here and now I stand
And say Im forever Yours
Jesus Youre my all in all
And I will sing Your praise

Jesus.

I love Him.

a whole lot.

He is so beautiful 

and His face is amazing. 

His voice is so sweet

and His embrace so precious.

Wow. 

Everywhere I look 

I see Him.

I love love love this intimacy. 

What is man that you are mindful of Him?

basics.

simple reminders we can all use...

ask yourself in everything, is this glorifying the Lord?

always ask that.

really. 

not just at certain times. because theres no such thing as some separate Spiritual life. 

Moving WITH the Spirit should BE your life.

is He not worthy? 

always think about Him- think of the joy He brings and the peace, and the intimacy and the love.

because when you focus on all He has done for you and how great He is,  you begin to fall in love.

Don't try to figure out why you are going through what you are going through or why its His will for this or that to happen,

 just TRUST.  

Can't you trust the One who is absolutely perfect? I mean really. Would you rather it go your way in this moment and MISS the greatness He has for you in the future?

Everyday, seek to please Him. but it has to come from a heart of love. and not just striving. because if you are just doing things solely because you feel like you have to, thats not love at all... thats nothing more than trying to get fire insurance.

Stay in the word so that you can see the beauty of it. Depth is more important than distance. Its so much better to apply a verse or two today than to read a ton of chapters and do nothing with it.

Stay in prayer for your sake. and prayer doesn't have to look any certain way. Its simply communication with the father, that means you can be driving in your car and whisper some words of love. or when you find yourself in a rut, ask the Lord which way to go. 

Just be led.

As with any relationship, as you begin to fall in love with the Lord, you begin to learn about how He thinks and how He moves and what makes Him smile. 

and then it brings you joy to please the Lord,

and its HIS joy. 

He who created joy.  

If you truly want Him, He will open doors to where you get the greatest good and He gets the greatest glory...

and its pretty much amazing. 

So stop striving to always do more. just let Him love you and then fall in love. and see where that leads you.

worth.

you're so amazing.

the heavens are ever expanding 

and always telling of your glory. 

and I'm just this tiny thing on this little blue dot. 

yet You. 

so big

so vast 

so glorious

love me. 

and desire intimacy with me. 

THAT 

is crazy. 

so that is why I praise you.

You are so worthy of my worship

and my focus

and my life 

and all I can give.

overcome.

Its pretty much amazing to sit around with people you hardly know and share testimonies

Soooo refreshing 

and inspiring

and liberating

and unifying

It feels so.... family.

The Lord wins.

Anything against us is His enemy, not ours. 

remember that. k?

rest.

i am so done

im wearing myself out

i just want to live life

and stop trying to figure it all out.

i want to stop straining to listen and just hear

im sick of these battles in my mind 

I just want to enjoy life and not get stressed out over stupid things

i have got to learn what it means to rest

not physical rest necessarily, but how to rest my mind.

sometimes i wish i was normal, 

but thats only for a split second 

because in reality i would never want to be like everyone else. 

honestly, i get sick of always trying to be "in tune"

why cant i just live there instead of having to try and analyze or discern everything?

Today is a much better day

I am not forcing myself into situations and I'm just resting in the presence of the Lord.

Sometimes its good to just relax....

Im learning what it means to rest.

Everything is so much better when I take the much needed time to just stop. 

Sometimes when I am trying so hard to listen, I lose sight of what He is really saying and doing.

So today, I've chosen to rest. 

I'm not trying to understand it all and get some place new. 

Sure theres a lot going on and a lot coming up, but in order to get where I need to be when I need to be there, I am taking time to simply 

REST.

Today has been glorious. 

this whole rest thing,

you should try it sometime....

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.  Proverbs 3:5-6

crossroads.

In my Bible...

I read about a God who restores. 

In my Bible... 

The Spirit is God.

In my Bible...

I find a God who uses me despite of me- or anything I've done. 

In my Bible...

I see that God wants my heart, because once He gets that, He knows the rest follows. 

In my Bible...

my unchanging God is always bringing about change.

In my Bible...

there are exact instructions for what to do when I have something against somebody.

In my Bible...

God moves so powerfully in unity.

In my Bible...

I discover I am part of a body thats strength is based on the well-being of the rest of the body. 

In my Bible...

I read about fathers who impart instead of depart.

In my Bible...

I read about trust.

In my Bible...

God removes the branches that aren't bearing fruit.

In my Bible...

God chastens and prunes those he loves.

In my Bible...

there's this cross that brought my forgiveness.

In my Bible...

I read about a God who gives me the desires of my heart if I submit to Him.

In my Bible...

there's a God who wants to heal.

In my Bible...

submission to authority is necessary.

In my Bible...

I read about a God who won't tolerate the prideful and arrogant.

In my Bible...

it tells me the Lord hates lying.

In my Bible...

it tells me the Lord hates one who sows discord among brethren.

In my Bible...

grace is always there.

In my Bible...

those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are promised to be filled.

In my Bible... 

those who hear the word and keep it are blessed.

I know you hurt, but my God is a healer. The Lord really will bless this if you wait on Him. He wants to bless you, but you have to submit to Him and what He is doing. He wants unity. He is preparing us for greatness and He wants you to be involved in the beauty of it all, but only if you will trust His moving when it may not be so beautiful. The Lord not only wants to see you walk in greatness, but for His whole body to walk in greatness. He wants to use anyone who is willing and who is in love with Him. When the Lord looks at me, He sees my heart, not my tennis shoes. He hears the cry of my songs, not the beat they make. When the Lord looks at the next generation here, He sees hungry hearts, thirsty souls, excitement, and strength. But at the same time, such a need for wisdom. We need you right now. We need your wisdom, but we don't want it if we can't see you living for what we are willing to die for. Because then we realize all you say to us is you. and we are after those who are after the One we are in love with. Please impart and not depart. I need you. I am Westmore too. But Westmore isn't ours. Its His. Why not entrust it to the perfect, unfailing One? I need you to embrace what the Lord is doing in me. I want your wisdom if I can see you are led. and right now I can't see it. I'm ready for the Lord to move here and I would love for you to journey with me, but even if you don't come along I am going to move with Him. I will get to walk in all He has and get to see lives changed and walk in power and be led and live in His joy and His peace and on and on. I will be a part of walking in the fullness of all He has for Westmore. because I am Westmore and if I see the Lord, Westmore sees the Lord. There is so much purpose for this place. God is about to move aggressively here and remove anything and anyone in the way of what He is doing. So together, lets run with Him. And be for Him, not against Him. And be for one another, not against one another. Our unity and our love will accelerate this. Come on. I need you right now.  Your pastor needs you right now. Westmore needs you right now. This city needs you right now. The uttermost parts of the earth need you to agree with God right now.

I just wish you cared. 

seven.

Will you deal with your pain?

The bitterness inside

You shove it in to the point where you hardly know its there.

Now you can rest.

You fall into a slumber 

O SLOTHful one

Peaceful Awake

Your awake and rising to the top.

Strength.

Beauty.

Prestige. 

Or is it only a facade?

O but PRIDE shall come before the fall.

Snatching all you can hold

on the decent

You GLUTTON.

Your depravity is evident.

Maybe they have something to offer.

Your LUSTful eyes 

consume you. 

Now you want it all. 

GREED overtakes.

As if you are the only one. 

ENVY grows without much notice.

Now your driven

You spiral into the WRATH 

thats always been there

That which you kept

Led to your death.

religion.

why is it that all the ones who say "i hate religion" are the most religious people out there?

i think its just an excuse to complain...

and criticize and sometimes even hate.

when really, coming against religion the way we are so often encouraged to these days, is to actually embrace what religion truly is...

and its laid out for us. plain and clear.

James 1:27 

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Bringing down religion is actually to  Love God and Love People-

not living to point out the faults of everyone and everything.

as pastor would say... 

just a thought.

listen.

Why? 

i know better than this. 

i REALLY REALLY do.

so why did I not TRUST?

thats what I am always preaching.

and I am having to learn it myself.

but i guess thats how the Lord teaches.

instead i justified it as "not sure" 

calling myself confused when im really not.

thats so dumb because I hate confusion more than anyone. 

and twice i cause it. 

i dont care about the first one, i can get over myself real quick.

but causing it for someone else. gosh thats when i feel bad.

Im frustrated with myself, 

but then again, really im fine. 

because I learned my lesson. 

even if it was the hard way... 

i have to 

Listen.

and trust what I hear.

even when it makes no sense. none at all.

That way I can avoid stupid crap

like causing unnecessary pain, frustration and confusion for other people.

ugh o well.

Lesson learned. 

really i love to be taught. 

cuz then things are so much easier the next time...

now ill trust more.

and sorry. 

really. 

but now u see my mistake. 

and i will, i will, i will

prove you

WRONG.

and really its not about proving YOU wrong, 

but more about going against the grain of normality.

proving wrong the SYSTEM. 

the system that says everyones the same. 

I am not like the system

and i NEVER will be. 

never.

i think ive begun to show you that

in other things. 

but now

maybe I can really show you 

that even in the things that are almost always universal across the board, 

I am still 

DIFFERENT. 

heart.

lost.

What does it look like to really lose all control?
That I dont know
But just the thought of it is glorious to me.
I want to be there.
I want to be so lost in the continual presence of the Lord
that whatever I say, whatever I do, wherever I go--
its all for the glory of the Lord.
More than ever.

Maybe it looks like fruit.
Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-control.


Psalms 52:
6 The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at him, saying, 7 "Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!" 8 But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever. 9 I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your saints.



I am an olive tree...

I trust in you. 

You are the true vine.

I am in you. 
Lord prune me 

so I can bear more fruit.

Without you I am nothing.

simplicity.

God I dont know what you want. 

But I want whatever it is that you want. 

Jeremiah.

so you told me to do this a long time ago. 

a really really long time ago.

I just havent. 

Whats in there that you want me to get?

I guess I should go find out huh?

Why is this so hard for me?

Probably because of whats in there.

and what the little minions want to keep me from.

Okay so even if I don't see what your doing with it,

what bad can come from it?

Lets see. absolutely none. 

I feel dumb that its so hard for me. 

but now I am determined. 

Watch out. 

promises.

 I love you. 

I love the way you do things. 

I say it all the time and will say it again,

Your orchestration is incredible.

The way that you position people in the right places at the right times always amazes me and always will, but at the same time, why would anyone expect less of a no less than perfect God?

What you are doing excites me. Oh the places you will take me. Oh the places you will take them. Wow. How do we deserve this?

The thing is, we don't. 

At all. 

But thats the beauty of it....

You take broken people and piece together something beautiful. 

You really do give us the desires of our hearts  if we are actually willing to let you shape those desires.

I love trusting you. 

I can't go wrong there. 

Because I trust you, I get to enjoy life YOUR way. 

and You are perfect

Thus

the joy, the peace, the excitement, the LIFE

is all there 

Abundantly.

You promise you will direct my paths if I trust.

You promise unspeakable joy if I believe.

You promise strength if I wait on you.

You promise me abundant life. 

You promise me Your never ending love. 

This and so much more.

All your promises won't let go of me. 

thankful.

This is my heart right now in a song.

HARDCORE.

Fee- "Beautiful the Blood"

I never knew death could be so sweet
I never knew surrender could feel so free
I never seen such meekness in majesty
That the blood of Jesus was bled for me

And now I sing freedom for all my days
It's only by the power of the cross I'm raised
The King of Glory rescued me

How beautiful the blood flow
How merciful the love shown
The King of glory poured out
Victorious are we now

Never knew through these nails would love unfold
And never knew these wounds would heal my soul
I've never seen such beauty and sorrow meet
The blood of Jesus was bled for me

And now I sing freedom for all my days
It's only by the power of the cross I'm raised
The King of Glory rescued me

[Repeat Chorus]

Now I'll sing freedom for all my days
It's only by the power of the cross I'm raised
The King of Glory rescued me

[Repeat Chorus]

How beautiful you are
How merciful you are
How glorious you are
Christ our Savior

How beautiful you are
How merciful you are
How glorious you are
Christ our Savior

joy.

Every day I get excited. 

The Lord is always moving 

and i get the joy of chasing after Him.

I love the peace of knowing I am in His will

and realizing I do not have to be perfect

and when i do mess up, I learn, then move on better than before.

The Lord amazes me every day with His presence.

Even in simple everyday activities

He is there.

I love love love to watch Him orchestrate my life 

and the lives of His other kids around me.

There are so many amazing people around me too.

I have so much fun.

He has promised me that He will not keep any good thing from me

because I trust Him. 

Its so true. 

Life is so great

but only because He is great. 

There is so much joy in the chase.

amazingness.

last wednesday.

How the heck.

ilovejesusheneverceasestoamazeme.

soon.

ill see it.  i just wanna show up at second service one day, and its still all the first service people, but theyre so overcome by the Lord they cant leave. or see some news thing about people in some random public place like a grocery store on their faces for hours cuz the presence of the Lord just swept in out of nowhere. Boom. or myself just be knocked to the ground by the spirit of the Lord. or go in a place where EVERYONE in the room can feel the tangible spirit of God- even the people who dont care to- that way nobody can deny it. 

  So Lord,  Send your glory Lord in great measure! Sure I know you are moving in FL and places, but God I want you to move more than man. So much to where man can't move. I want to feel you like never before. I want to see you so move on the hearts of your people that they lay on their faces for hours crying out for the souls of those who dont know you. And then i wanna see times where all these sinners cannot help but stop by a place. they try not to come, but they have to go for some reason. and then they show up and get rocked by You. Thats what i want. make us desperate. Purify us so it is never about us. We want you. I realize more each day how much i am nothing without you. Lord when will you come? Cant you see our desperation? Show me what to do. Show me how to prepare the way for your kingdom. And not just your return, but the coming of your Kingdom to earth through your people now. The move we are waiting on. The move you are waiting to give us. Lead us. Guide us. We are here and willing. We want You. Consume us. Really. Consume our thoughts. Consume our lives. Make us so enticed by your presence and your Word that we keep coming back for more. Because there is always more of you.  We want this too. Do whatever you have to do to us and in us and through us so that you can move like you want to. For real. Amen. 

then.

i remember when we would sing Surround Me and  Enemy's Camp and Look What the Lord Has Done and then somebody would get up and run around and someone else would cry their eyes out and someone else would get floored and hardly know what happened to them, then we would sit there not knowing what was next but nobody would care. and it was amazing. and i miss it. 

timing.

the Lord's timing is weird. thats all. 

trust.

Can you ever have too much trust in God?

Of course not right?

But what if you trust so much that you neglect talking to Him about stuff?

Because a lot of times I just think- ehh I trust God to take care of it.

and so i dont really pray about stuff like i think i should. 

Not really sure what to do. 

Because its so important to trust the Lord, but prayer is also important. 

Maybe my concept of prayer needs to be revolutionized...hmm i dunno.

Any insight?

On the Brink of Breaking

Stirrings inside increase, eyes open

Movement is forceful

Weight is evident

Daughters and sons are positioned

Every detail shows were on the brink

We can see it more than ever

Protection provided

Rapid acceleration 

Face down and growing 

Ready, Equipped

Strength arising

Its your time

For Breaking.

so i decided.

to start a blog, instead of always just putting stuff on myspace and facebook.
