From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny

DO YOU WANT TO GO TO THE SEASIDE?

to deny myself and to take up my cross everyday, acknowledging that each day is a struggle by my own strength, but remembering that He is always enough!

im in awe at the fullness and completeness of God, from what i read from the Word each day, to the retrospective takes of life that makes me learn, learn how to grow and learn how i’ve grown. and while i can safely say that im far from what ive been, there’s still so much more out there left for me to learn, so much more of me i need to surrender.

if our hopes are being disappointed now, it means that they are being purified. there is nothing noble the human mind has ever hoped for or dreamed of that will not be fulfilled. one of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God. “because thou hast kept the word of my patience.” remain spiritually tenacious.

my heart is so proud
my mind is so unfocused
I see the things you do through me as great things I have done
and now you gently break me
and lovingly you take me
and hold me as my father
and mold me as my maker

I ask you how many times will you pick me up
when I keep letting you down
and each time I will fall short of your glory
how far will forgiveness abound
and you answer my child I love you
and as long as you’re seeking my face
you’ll walk in the power of my daily sufficient grace

They tell you where you need to go
They tell you when you’ll need to leave
They tell you what you need to know
They tell you who you need to be

But everything inside you knows
There’s more than what you’ve heard
There’s so much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words

And you’re on fire
When He’s near you
You’re on fire
When He speaks
You’re on fire
Burning at these mysteries

I’ve been forcing myself to stop and reflect on what I’ve been doing and am given more chances to do so at work. And it’s been very good.
