Genesis 18; Genesis 19; Psalm 3; Luke 7

Great time w/the girls, made the ask...wish i could be excited that they will come but i kind of doubt it, nah ii have no hope that they'll come at all. how can something so important to me......and there it is ME. I still operate needing something from them, wow i am sorry Abba, i wonder if there is anyone i don't want or need something from??

there is so much in the OT that gets to me, that i question or celebrate. today the story of abram and sarai entertaining GOD, 3 men and them telling him/them that they are going to have a baby, these really old folks are gonna have a baby! sarai doesn't believe them, laughs, lies about laughing and you begin to believe there is NOTHING impossible WITH God and then still reeling in his own good news Abram goes toe to toe w/God about sodom and gomorrah and God listens and listens. then they destroy s&g but not before saving lot's family and then lot's daugher's conspire to get their dad drunk and become pregnant by him...what You watch us do and how You relentlessly love us through it all. so today i celebrate more than question, how could i ever know, fully know an amazing God who loves us so and why can i not just revel in, rest in that mystery and maybe if i do more and more it would/could draw my friends?? I don't know, maybe my ask is too soft?? i know, nothing is impossible with You :)

Luke 7: 50 He ignored them and said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you. Go in peace."
them being all the religious leaders at the table, the table, the home of a Pharisee to speak to the town harlot, brave enough, devoted enough, grateful enough to come to his home to honor Jesus......what would i risk to show my devotion and gratitude to Jesus??
