Monday Night

Being alive is hard.
Being alive and being real is sometimes impossible.
---

Philippians 4:8
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things."
---

Isaiah 45:5
"...I have equipped you for battle..."
---

Seems like I sometimes fall faster then I can pick myself up.
---

The Lord is insane in his faithfulness.
I'm glad my Lord is determined.
And I'm so thankful he has the gift of patience.

Long Time Sun

I have a strange feeling in my heart today. Been weirdly emotional and cried for a bit. Not exactly sure what's on my mind, but I think it's unsure feelings of the future mixed with somewhat painful feelings of the past. Been pretty out of it lately, and I've really really been trying to feel God and see Him working in my life, and I do at times, but I don't think as much as I need... or something like that. I just feel like I miss Him, but I know he's right here with me.

Maybe I just need to stop thinking all together and listen... easier said then done.

I think I'm going to watch some Planet Earth or Blue Planet, drink tea and appreciate the real things in life... the things God created for us to enjoy. And I'm not going to think or worry or ponder anymore! At least for a little while anyway...

i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it (anywhere i go you go,my dear;
and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate,my sweet)
i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

God's Amazing Power

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
