It's so much a part of who i am...

Q. Is there anything you do, a hobby or activity, that is so much a part of you that you can’t understand why everybody doesn’t do it? What is it, and why is it such a part of you? [from: Snarkland's Question of the Week]

A: um.... the internet/computer. there are so many opportunities to meet people and minister to their hearts. there are so many ways to keep in touch with loved ones. you can make art, listen to music or sermons, and you have a whole world-sized library at your feet! you can study and write to your heart's content. you can find ways to build your faith.

so yeah, i wonder why everybody doesn't do it.

i think it's such a part of me partly because of my personality. i'm naturally inclined to sedentary/mental activities such as reading and writing and studying and artwork. it's a very easy (physically!) to DO alot of things and make a difference in other people's lives. it's a way of serving God that just sync's in with who i am, how i express myself, and how i am most comfortable relating to other people.

if it were 50 years ago, i'm sure my ministry would involve a lot of letter-writing!

i just love sitting and communicating God's heart and love to those who need to hear it. it just suits me.

i think this was a very good meme for me today. i have been feeling some condemnation for always being on the computer.... not that anybody's said anything (except 'are you moving around enough', which i'm always thinking about already)... it's more the accuser than anything. trying to put a dent in what i'm doing!

i'm really feeling that God is in the process of showing me how .... 'valid'.... an online ministry can be, how 'valid' online relationships can be.... and how true it is that God sets up divine appointments in the e-realm just as He does in the 3D-realm.....

i feel God hugs right now.... *happy weepy grins*

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
