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.

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 ...

Casa de Kelly - a nice place to dine.

It has been a challenging week for me personally. Struggling with some things personal in nature, nothing that I need to go into, but just working hard to keep my chin up. But encouragement comes to me through others that follow God. Thanks to sick Pete for his encouragement to me this week. Thanks to BK for his prayers and vulnerability. But my biggest thanks goes out to the kkft. After a tough week, I got an email yesterday from superstar saying she was hoping to take me out to dinner for drinks, conversation, and even dessert. But no sitter. So her and the girls were working on 'casa de kelly' restaurant in our apartment. I am almost certain it was the best restaurant I have ever visited in my life. Candlelight, mexican food and latin music, time to sit and chat with my wife, the girls serving us and giving us privacy (even had the taboo buzzer to call them when we needed something :)), it was my best night of the year by far. But perhaps the biggest part of the n...
