Is 15-18; Hebrews 10

Up at 4:30 sounds ridiculous and yet i don't think I would trade this time w/Dan for anything and when he says...just sit down and talk to me...I melt..

And when HE says...10:38-39 And,
"But my righteous one will live by faith.
And I take no pleasure
in the one who shrinks back." h]">

39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.

I spend entirely too much time envying the risky lives of others....instead of wondering how I shrink back over and over from the relational risks I have in front of me...I spend entirely too much time worrying I think...

You know, it amazes me how God hits me over the head. Like when I am thinking He isn't really paying any attention, I read something that feels a lot like God going, whap!, upside the back of my head!

I could go on this medical mission trip to Peru, if only the hsb would get with it and trust God. It's all planned out money wise. I finally pulled together enough guts to say "yes" but dear hsb says "no" because he is caught up in fear.

Or, is it possible that what this trip kicked off in me is envy? I want to do something cool for God rather than settle for the mediocre life I live... Huh?

Isn't my trusting my hsb, loving him, providing for him an act of worship? Isn't my teaching and mentoring of the women in my life an act of sacrifice for my Lord? Can't I love Him and serve Him in the quiet, in the daily?

Thanks Becky, for letting Dad use you thru this blog you think no one reads! :-)
