In reading Jeremiah this morning struck HARD with how HARD it is supposed to be, how hard we've made it, make it..... Living our lives without You, digging our own cisterns....making mistake after mistake / failure and failure and coping in ways without YOU with the reality of those failures......the turning back while it could be easy...is simple but HARD.....
being unmerciful we don't have a clue about Your mercy....
not understanding GRACE we are staggered by Yours......
I am struck w/my need to stop dreaming.......to put my nose to the grindstone and work....stop thinking and start obeying......
Help me because You know how truly stubborn and willful I am.....
His trip was amazing.....he prayed more than he ever had, and came home committed to praying even more.....we sat on the deck for 3 hours and I listened and was deeply curious about all of it...deeply curious and interested without jealousy.....oh, there was a twinge or two but mostly I was overwhelmed with his experience there and with You....
