Some days we just need a little encouragment that when all else feels like it is failing… He does not. Remember this… pray this… sit in this.
In my aching,
I know you heal.
When I’m weary,
you bring life.
In my darkness
shines your light.
Through my scattered chaos,
you bring order.
When I’m dry,
you’re my well.
While hope fades,
your word remains.
When all else fails,
you do not.

Choose this day whom you will serve….
How easy it is to forget
to be so caught up and consumed
with the things of the immediate
that our worlds become quite small.
Unaware and unaffected
we can’t see past ourselves at all.
But beyond our own backyards
and far from our four walls
a whole wide hurting and broken world is waiting.
For healing. For hope.
For truth. For life.
Oh Lord, give us eyes to see
the things that matter most to Thee.
To loose the chains of oppression
To care for the widow and the orphan
To open the eyes of the blind and to set the captives free.
By the power of your Holy Spirit
help us to be a reflection of you in all that we say and all that we do.
Whatever you ask and whenever you call
may our answer always be-
Here I am. Send me.

I sat one morning just thinking about who God really is. And how completely complexed He truly is. There is a reason that I AM is used to describe Him because nothing on earth can truly grasp His greatness and wonder.
I sit and wonder,
I ponder.
My heart yearns to know,
so I ask Him
“who is the I am?”
“My ways are easy
yet I am perplexed to understand.
I am both perfect peace
and the thunder in the storm.
A father to the poor and hurting
a ruler over the mighty nations.
I am both now and then
the present and future
I am the blacksmith that refines,
the potter who shapes and forms,
the gardener who prunes,
the shepherd who leads,
and the king that rules.
My ways are simple
yet they are not easy.
I am the I am
and there is not one like me.
Take comfort in the unknowns.
Be soothed by my power.
Be stirred by my peace.
For I am
and will always be.”
