cannot hold the things i've learned
those roads were closed off to me
while my back was turned
i just hung out with some old friends....
it kind of made me sad
that's an understatement.
it made me sad
i really don't know how to explain it other then to say i must have changed
in a good way....
YES
I long for them to know what i have known...
it seemed like they were living so much for today, and the fun that it had for them
someone needs to awake their souls...
i don't have it all together...
i hope
i never get
it together
that makes me lean on Jesus Christ all the more...
on a side note... i listened to this podcast today before church,
it made my worship all the more sweeter.
go to itunes and type in: Cornerstone Simi Video Podcasts
then download: The Resurrection: So What?
i think that is just another taste from God of the glories of heaven...
James 4:6
...."God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
Satan was cast out of heaven because of His own pride. That story sheds light on why God hates pride so much. It sets man up against God. God created me for His glory and that means that I must experience Him on His terms, which involves me being humble in worship. All have sinned and fall short of His glory and pride seeks self-glory. God hates pride because it seeks to rob Him of His glory and that is an attempt at redefining who God is.
If I don't know God as Lord and King then I simply don't know Him. He is God and He is good, but He resists the proud by His very nature.
Psalm 104: 33-34
Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
Holy,
&
Dearly,
Holy
&
Dearly,
Loved
a sinner loved, by God,
that's grace
as if i knew what that word really meant
& I can't remember a trial or a pain, He did not recycle to bring me gain.
why is it so hard for me to "get" this?
proverbs 4:23
above all else guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life.
It's the source of life.
My heart is the source
It's the supply of everything, of anything.
but so easy i let it get caught up with things that don't matter...right now
Possessions
Position
People
Wants
Passions
I need not to give my heart so easily away to things.
Do I really need to love this, to think about it so much it dwells in all of my thoughts.
Those things that I want so badly I need to consider.
Should I be wanting these things as much as I do?
Should I be spending as much time as I do thinking about these things?
In the end, will it matter?

oh the things i could say about ming, all the stories i could share of us, just being us. The times we have talked and only got to the point were we knew that we had to place our cares in God's hands. The fears that we shared, our regrets, our struggles. Those situations you have to talk about analyze and oh yes....i can not, will not, ever, forget the time i shared that dream i had and then when keri shared hers....what a good laugh we had. and Oh, how it surprised Ming ever so...
the times when it seemed like life should just stop because ours was falling apart, the encouragement i received, and i hope i also reciprocated. the frantic phone calls, i could probably count them all on one hand, some sad, some that made me mad, and others that just made me laugh.
it takes a terribly crazy person
So here is my thanks Ming,
for being and awesome:
Friend
Encourager
Sister in Christ
My personal Librarian :)
and
Confidant
you are magnificent!
