stream of consciousness

did this before. thought i'd do it again! :)

I Am
so very tired...

I Want
restoration

I Have
hope in God's covenantal promises

I Wish
it were here, *now*!!!

I Hate
my own impatience

I Fear
it will never come...

I Hear
God's promise, in His Word....

I Search
for signs of it in my life

I Wonder
if my life is as void as i see it as, or if there are really streams of living water flowing out of my belly that i am unaware of?

I Regret
that i have so much unbelief

I Love
God's faithfulness and acceptance of me, the wretch that i am...

I Ache
to be with Him, in *that* day...

I Always
breathe deeply when i think of that

I Usually
feel sad that i'm still here!

I Am Not
giving up!

I Dance
for Him

I Sing
for Him

I Never
want to disappoint Him

I Rarely
fail to disappoint myself

I Cry
over my innate wretchedness

I Am Not Always
as accepting of myself as God is...

I Lose
faith in God's ability to use me

I'm Confused
as to my purpose in being here

I Need
to rest in Him

I Should
lay off the pile of 'shoulds' i lay on myself

I Dream
of one day being - finally - carefree....

    I like this. And, though I know you're well aware of this, disappointing God isn't possible. :)

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
