Rid me of myself, I belong to you.

"Savior I come
Quiet my soul remember
Redemptions hill
Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost

Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord I lay me down
Rid me of myself
I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross

You were as I
Tempted and trialed
You are
Te word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now you're risen

To your heart
To your heart
Lead me to your heart
Lead me to your heart"

My heart, Your home


We used the same place as we do for kids camp and at kids camp we always play this song, so every time I walk into that building all I can hear is this song.

It's Tuesday, We got back Sunday afternoon, but I spent most of yesterday recovering not only physically but emotionally as well. I'd like to tell you that all the planning of ALL the leaders, the hours Nic spent preparing messages, the careful choosing of songs that Lehr did, and all the printing and putting together of papers and packets Zach and I did really made the difference. In all reality I know if it really made a difference because what I do know is that God showed up Saturday night in a big way. I don't know if there is anything else that you could want from a retreat.

A Rambling of Thoughts.

"When we are at our wits' end for an answer, then the Holy Spirit can give is an answer. But how can He give us an answer when we are still well supplied with all sorts of answers of our own?"

- Karl Barth


That's a quote from the latest book I have read it was, Francis Chan - Forgotten God. I remember getting this book one afternoon with Nic & Krystian and being so excited to read it but as things of this world got in the way it got pushed to several days later. I am one of those people who believes that God is in every moment of every second in my day and I remember having a rather difficult day the day I picked up the book and I love to read and after an hour or two I was already flipping to page 103 and I read that quote and just stopped, I knew God and meant for me to read that quote that day.

So since I have read that quote that has been my prayer. That I will allow God to supply my answers and I won't rely on myself and when I run out of patience (which I know I will) I will remember that God never promised to reveal plans to me all at once or in advance and that I need to stop fretting over figuring out God's will, I just need to pray. I pray that God will help me walk away from the enslaving worthless things in life. My God is an awesome and amazing God capable of ALL things big or small.
