snot-nosed

i'm sick. i apparantly have a sinus infection that's running around my face (anyone see little running shoes in their head?) lol... my jaw is inflamed, it hurts in the jaw joint to chew food, to swallow, my ear hurts, and of course, my blasted whole head hurts, especially on that side (left). i'm now on antibiotics, a prescription anti-inflammatory, and under orders to go to emerg if it gets worse. and this morning i was blowing bloody chunks out of my nose! but i don't feel any worse this morning, and it's always an awesome time to draw near to God when you're sick, y'know?

fear comes and sticks its smelly head in the door, and says, 'you're gonna die, what have you done with your life?'... and i say 'shut up. if i die it's becuase God wants me with Him, which means it's my time, and which means i'll be in the presense of the Lord, worshipping Him forever and ever. and if it's not my time, i'll get better. in the meantime i'm just gonna rest in His arms and go about my day, determining to enjoy life, enjoy time with my Jesus, and not let no snot-nosed brat named Fear into my life, so there!" STOMP!

Outcast, Adopted.

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
