So many people in trials this season and most of the ones I know about, seeking to reveal You to those of us watching, not purposely......just because of where they are in You....inspiring and convicting and challenging. The power You give to us in trials....the joy in the midst of unbelievable tragedy....
is that power a choice for us?
Why do some grab hold and move and others freeze?
I don't honestly know what I would do in the moment....I think IF I looked to You I would.....
would I look to You?? And then you read Revelations...
Rev. 13: 9-10 Are you listening to this? They've made their bed; now they must lie in it. Anyone marked for prison goes straight to prison; anyone pulling a sword goes down by the sword. Meanwhile, God's holy people passionately and faithfully stand their ground.
passionately and faithfully stand their ground....I hope so Abba. That's why I stay connected here because I don't think I could or would without Your word in me daily....
so I use You??
I hope not, but in all honesty I'm not sure.
I can say I love You and yet I am not challenged or tried....
I don't know...so I read and pray and HOPE.....
I want desperately to give this away....this being........a knowing...a seeking to know You.....trusting that I am never disappointed here...convicted yes...alot but never disappointed......would I, will I passionately and faithfully stand my ground...?? In that passion and faith what will it look like? If it's You why do I care....how do I get out of Your way and love as You call?? maybe I am......but if I think that I stop...I know me, I can do it....I can't.....but You can right?? I don't want anyone missing out on You......I don't want anyone thinking they don't need Jesus, Your Spirit to become the people You desire us to be.....ahhh crap.....overthinking instead of moment by moment TRUSTING You....

Just saw where you have listed "Blue Like Jazz" I read it this summer! Great book. Your blog looks good. ; )
Becky, throughout our blogger friendship I have noticed that you basically post something everyday about your scripture reading for that day. How do you decide what to read? I am trying to get back into the habit of really reading and studying God's Word,but it's hard to know where to start. Suggestions would be helpful. You can just email me if you would like.
