Genesis 34-36 ;Luke 14 ; Psalms 23

I really don't give a flip about LEADERSHIP, don't care who's a ROCKSTAR there.....I believe God w/take care of their leadership capabilities...I simply love watching people engage Your Word and begin a journey......I LOVE watching people take chances and risks in loving the way You say....I LOVE watching people fight and argue w/who You are and end up passionate about You.... I LOVE watching people who've been away from You realize it was them that left and the GRACE they experience in THAT moment is flippin addicting.... I LOVE watching people wrestle w/ the "really, REALLY He loves ME " stuff and that comes after really seeing who we are for reals, nothing good in us....I love when someone gets that, I mean really gets that...I think I'm gonna love talking to people about living generously, now I am just tasting ...no that's not true, just learning how to give and praying to live generously and the blessings I am finding in this journey along w/ the crap... like how I never wanted / knew to give, never knew it was His, how we never even talked about 'giving'... takes me back to that bottom belief He loves me and knew my stingy self before I ever did and now.....now, well ....this is new territory....and that I get to go there w/my husband, I don't know what to say, how to express the desire we have to give the journey away....I LOVE when I get the chance to go deep w/someone. now my problem is I WANT to go deep w/everyone and what You are showing me is ...is ....it's in Your time, everything is in Your time BUT when I am seeking You first THAT all makes perfect sense...absolute perfect sense. Which means I should just always BE seeking You and Your kingdom first.....

Psalm 23
A psalm of David. 1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil;my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

The whole rant over the word leadership.....had a love / hate relationship w/that word for sometime now.....we are all as followers of Christ going to BE leaders, helping others on the journey.

I come back and read and reread this Psalm today...the pictures, the videos from Haiti are disturbing, the desire to DO something overwhelming.....to want to engage my SIL from Haiti long removed from his island home.... on his feelings of 'rootlessness' when I have prayed for 2 years him, to be rooted in Christ......Praying for him and all the people of Haiti.....it's hard to fathom....
