Wordless

I can't seem to find words these days to even begin to describe the journey I'm on with God. Indescribable, but so worthy of sharing! I can however share with you the words I have been hearing from the Lord; risk, bold, tenacious, love, blindly. And I can tell you it's left me WORDLESS when I listen and follow!

I pray, that when I even catch enough air to formulate words for my own journal, that at some point the Holy Spirit will eloquently wrap up this amazing ride I'm on with the Lord in some form of chapters to present here so I can share all He's doing inside me and around me these days, which have become months, which all seem to me like moments!

Today, I found this video that is just another reminder from God...on this ride, I shall not hang onto the beam!! Check it out, it's good stuff!

Again, no luck on direct posting so here's the link:

Wow.

This moves me, deeply. I can't get it to directly play here, but it's worth watching.

More often than not

The best things are said by someone else!! :) Oh my how this prayer deeply inspires me! Written by some guy named Scott Smith that I just so happened to be 'lucky enough' to find today!

“To those who have been called, who are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ: Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance” (Jude 1-2).

Glorious Triune God, on this Lord’s Day I’m smitten afresh with gospel-astonishment. As I ponder your immeasurable and irrepressible goodness towards me, and all your people, in Jesus I’m driven to silence and compelled to shout, all at the same time! Truly, you are unrelenting in your attention, lavish in your affections, and extravagant in your provision.

You didn’t just invite me to become a Christian, you called me and adopted me as your own child. Now I call you, Abba, Father, as the Holy Spirit continues to free my heart from its orphan-like ways. Thank you Father, that because of the work of Jesus, you will never love me more than you do today and you will never love me less! What wondrous love is this indeed!

Lord Jesus, help me to grasp your grasp of me. I am both kept by you and for you. Nothing can pull me from your hand, nor tear me from your heart, Jesus. Many times this seems too good to be true, but it is all the assurance that I need to face the rest of my life, even the next hour.

Indeed, Holy Spirit, bring from the throne of grace into my heart and story, an abundance of mercy, for I am a foolish man; peace, for I am a broken man; and love, for I am a selfishness man. Be praised on this Lord’s Day, and every day, O glorious and grace-full God! Very gratefully, Amen!

Some good medicine!

I am still by all accounts of eternity known as a babe in diapers inside my walk with Christ, this is not news to me nor probably you. BUT, I will say...I've been around long enough to really start to enjoy some good humor about all-things-Christian! A dry sense of humor with a slice of sarcasm can really make me roll on the floor in delight...so I just absolutely love this site:

Admittedly, it's been on my stalking radar for a really long time...but ya know every time it made the 'random' rotation to be surfed...there was never a picture posted to lure me long enough to read words because naturally I had 999 other blogs that I COULD be checking in on that probably had a doozie of a photo posted! Today, for some reason...I read and I LAUGHED, so I read MORE and my laughter turned into serious belly wigglin gigglin! And that was some GOOD MEDICINE for me today!! So I had to share!

Is it fall in your life?

Is it fall in your life? It happens to everyone more than once. It's that time in your life when you work through struggles, encounter an obstacle or get wounded by the events of life.

Fall is that time in life when the leaves fall off, all those things that give color and meaning to life fall away and become meaningless in face of a present difficulty. It is a tough place to be. It is also a good place to be – when everything falls to the ground, you get a chance to see who you really are – the real structure of your life and where changes need to be made. Ask God to give you the courage to see the real structure of your life and where changes need to be made. Jesus is the key.

Inheritance

Wow, I just absolutely LOVE THIS, if each one of us would just consume what the Lord is trying to say in these words ~ we'd be so free!

I dare you or me?

Hmmm, I see this video as an invitation from my Lord for deeper intimacy, total abandonment and real trust, the kind you can't turn back on to seek your own solution. This video coming to me at a time in my life when God is revealing something to me that I can not understand in its fullness ~ or as God puts it in His Word, "more than I can now handle". I revel at the risk involved in this invitation and the irony at how many times I've prayed over others that faith is spelled R.I.S.K. when I promise them that the Lord will catch them if only they jump. I wonder how my life might change if I dare accept the challenge of these words as though it was my Father whispering in my ear...

And I wonder if you can hear His voice speaking to you in this as well?
