If His Grace was an Ocean, We're all sinking... Oh How He Loves Us.

He is jealous for me....

Trust

"When thinking of what the word "trust" actually means: To trust means to be carelss ...
It means that you do not have to worry about how to "take care" of yourself with that person, because he is going to be worried about that too. It means that you do not have to "guard" yourself with her, because she is to be concerned with what is good for you and what is not good for you. You do not have to "watch your back" with him, because he is going to be watching it for you." - Dr. Henry Cloud Integrity

Making my life something so beautiful.

Album: My Paper Heart
Artist: Francesca Battistelli

Don’t know how it is You looked at me
And saw the person that I could be
Awakening my heart
Breaking through the dark
Suddenly Your grace

Like sunlight burning at midnight
Making my life something so
Beautiful, beautiful
Mercy reaching to save me
All that I need
You are so
Beautiful, beautiful

Now there’s a joy inside I can’t contain
But even perfect days can end in rain
And though it’s pouring down
I see You through the clouds
Shining on my face

I have come undone
But I have just begun
Changing by Your grace

Freak Out!

Okay so today I am reading in my book Integrity, and I have never written so many notes and underlined so much. This has given me so much to think about... I'll update later on what I have figured out.

Addiction.

A friend and I were talking about things that he was addicted to the other day, during this conversation I said, after some light thinking, that I was most certainly not addicted to anything. LIES, FIBS, UNTRUTH!!! Okay so no I didn't really lie or not intentionally...But I am most certainly addicted to things, for example:

Sound - I normally get into my car turn the radio on, walk into a room turn a TV on, sit at my computer with my ear buds in... I am constantly surrounding myself with noise.

Not that is a terrible thing necessarily but what I am not addicted to scares me more. Where was God any of this? I am not addicted to praying, or having quite time him. I enjoy those things but it doesn't completely wreck my day if I don't do those things until sitting in silence would...

"Be silent, and know that I am God."

-Psalm 46 : 10

I was MIA due to...

After five days, in an un-airconditioned cabin, in a 102 degree weather, with 8 girls, several mosqitoe bites, a sunburn or two - I survived Kids Camp 2010. Although, my flip flops did not. I had to throw them away, after all that walking and bug mashing they were beyond worn out.
