This Could Be It

So in church Sunday, Yankee says 'when are you going to NY?' I said Tuesday. He said-'Wow, that's this week.' DRAMATIC PAUSE. STARES AT ME. DRAMATIC PAUSE. "This could be it," he says, and smiled joyously. That's when it hit me. This could be it. I pray that God will help me to see, help me to hear, so that His plan is the only option.

Righteous or Unrighteous?

Today, as I thoroughly enjoyed my walk to the school, I pondered quite a few things, as I often do on my walk. Sometimes I pray for people like Hammy, Jimmer, sick pete, mg, cdubs, pastor, beary, and the like. But today, I simply reveled in the fact that God loves me. As I watched the snow melting away, I could see the dirt and garbage left behind throughout my walk. I think of how God melts away our dirt and our garbage. How he longs to be in relationship with us, and how he cleanses our sins from existence. As the sun rose, I couldn't help but think of the verse I read this morning in Matthew 5:45 - "...that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." I pondered if Jesus was walking with me, which of the above categories would HE put me in? I'm pretty sure the unrighteous one at times. But yet he still walks with me and leads my steps. He brings the heat ...

Full Time is Not Optional

As I continue to try my darndest to follow Jesus each day, I am continuosly encouraged by others that are on the same journey. When I really see someone engaging in the wrestling match that is detaching your selfish self from this world and trying to understand what it really means to follow Jesus, I am encouraged with all my heart, all my mind, and all my soul. I see others in this wrestling match, and I think I see the joy that God sees when someone really engages in the relationship God so desperately desires with each of us. That is really something that is cool to see with your human eyes, and with your spiritual mind. And so as I pondered this this week, I had the notion that doing something part time is not an option if you are following Jesus. You either engage fully, or you are not really doing it right. I see things come out of the nugget, or out of my superstar, or out of the mouth of my daughters, and I see that full time is not optional. I must be present in the mome...

Niceness.

I forgot to post about Olivia's 'off-broadway debut' with the storypirates , and I will have to post a full thought and pictures soon. But I have committed to journalling daily and reading my bible daily this month, as I mentioned I had 'fallen off the wagon' recently. Whenever I do this, I have one of those 'duh' moments where I realize just how stupid I am, and how simple it is to allow things of this world to take over my life. I am certain that Satan loves that much when we allow that to happen. But as I looked at the beautiful moon last night, as I sat on the stoop with my neighbors lee and nora and mjc on a beautiful night, and as I saw the beauty of my superstar revealed to me the last two days anew (you as a redhead = HOT), as I enjoyed my bike rides in BKLYn, I am reminded anew of how God has planned for us to "have life, and have it to the full." And when we engage in the fullness He has prepared for us, our eyes, ears, and spirit are...
