Questions from God

Watching the sun rise from Mariner Park today, God asked me some specific questions that hit me pretty hard in the spirit:


Will you trust me?
Can you love without me?
Will you listen to me?
Will you really go there for me?
Will you trust in me?
Will you serve others first?

Very eye opening when God starts asking you specific questions on your way.

I enjoyed my conversations with the benzr last night. Even though the sick family will abuse me, I have to tell you that God has blessed me with this position, and I am thankful that I love what I do. I have always been fortunate to enjoy what I do to earn money for our family to live, but this is the bomb. I really believe it is because I did entrust my work world to the hands of God, and he has continued to show me what life can be like (in ALL areas) if I trust Him and His plan for my life. (See above questions from this morning.) So go ahead sick mother, make fun of me. That's why you are a sick mother.

We just talked about entrusting on Monday night in Gracestoration. My biggest problem spots were opened that night:

God wants Total Lordship over these areas and I have a hard time giving them up:

recreation & entertainment
my right to be right
my right to live comfortably
my right to a good reputation
my right to have friends
my career
my money

I know that His plan is A Plan, but sometimes I just want to maintain control and somehow I think my plan could be better... When will I ever learn????

I agree with k. TOTAL LORDSHIP is a freaky concept. It requires TOTAL SURRENDER. That is so hard. And if you think you have arrived at it, think again. It is a never ending process of surrender. Once you successfully surrender one area, He will reveal the NEXT thing you have to surrender. I believe the big word for it is sanctification. It's not like being beaten into submission, but rather being filled with incredible GRACE and POWER to be better!

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

10 years in a day

So my days are beginning to run together, and the timelines in my brain are blurry after being on the ground at CEM for three days or has it been four? Either way, let's just say that one day in India is like ten years. That is a pretty good description of what reality is like here. Pastor said that sandrews said that on a trip here many years ago, and I was shocked by just how accurate of a statement that was. A day here can bring life events that you might be exposed to once in ten years living the way we live in the US of A. Here, life is hard. No matter what. As we drove to a 'village church' yesterday, we were what one team member describes as 'in the boonies.' (What does that mean exactly?) We saw things that I don't even know if I would have seen in 10 years living in the US. Men harvesting sugar cane and loading it on trucks. That sounds like a very simple sentence, and a very simple thing to do. But when it is in the upper 90's, and ther
