Exodus 21-22; Psalm 12 and Acts 4

Trying to decide on the verse to go with my new ink.....it's from the Barbarian Way, the tribal rhinos. Signifying that as Barbarian Christians we are so driven by Christ's love that we charge...I don't, I hesitate.
I have Psalm 46:10 on my other ankle, reminding me to Be still and KNOW and now on my other ankle I want the rhinos....
Totally representing my confusion....
I want to move in Your love and yet I don't trust my motivations so I have to be still and trust that THAT is where You want me to move.....
I don't know...
I'm confused alot.
The damage I have done...
I've been praying to be thick skinned and tender hearted....I think it may be working there is much making me soft today. Not as in frightened......as in just soft......funny the prayers You answer......

anyway I know I'm forgiven I just want to MOVE DIFFERENTLY and the two tats help me to remember and move.......

Acts 4: 31 While they were praying, the place where they were meeting trembled and shook. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak God's Word with fearless confidence. 32-33 The whole congregation of believers was united as one—one heart, one mind! They didn't even claim ownership of their own possessions. No one said, "That's mine; you can't have it." They shared everything. The apostles gave powerful witness to the resurrection of the Master Jesus, and grace was on all of them.
34-35 And so it turned out that not a person among them was needy.
Those who owned fields or houses sold them and brought the price of the sale to the apostles and made an offering of it. The apostles then distributed it according to each person's need.


During this fast been praying for Spiritual Awakenings....wonder if it could ever be like this again....praying to not miss a thing and to be responsively obedient.....

We saw The Wrestler this weekend and came away moved to not want to miss anyone who lives hopeless. I know I do but I don't want to. What if we are followers of Christ had THOSE eyes, that heart ....the family in So Cal the murder suicide is so hard to read about. And then you wonder how many people are living hopeless. Please Father give us eyes to see.....
