Why is everyone hungry for more? “More, more,” they say. ”More, more.” I have God’s more-than-enough, More joy in one ordinary day Than they get in all their shopping sprees. At day’s end I’m ready for sound sleep, For you, God, have put my life back together.
Psalm 4: 6-8
Watch
the Lord has promised good to me
his word my hope secures
he will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
until we’re together again, let’s keep talking. let’s figure this out. let’s give God the glory and trust Him to pull it all together.
here’s to another month :)
Now listen, daughter, don’t miss a word: forget your country, put your home behind you. Be here—the king is wild for you. Since he’s your lord, adore him.
Psalm 45:10-11
today in anthropology we were discussing a man who’d been exorcised of a demon spirit and the responses from the rest of my class concerned me deeply.
there was little to no understanding of the situation and we had a few students that said outright that they do not believe that things like the discussed scenario even happen. and while i’m not criticizing any of the students in that...
God’s been whispering the word “fullness” into my life these past couple of days and He has been showing me what it means. for me it’s been about letting go of things i’ve been carrying around. things from Africa, things from relationships, things from my past and future. and He’s pouring Himself and His light into the places that have opened up in my soul and...
The Spirit of God, the Master, is on me because God anointed me. He sent me to preach good news to the poor, heal the heartbroken, Announce freedom to all captives, pardon all prisoners. God sent me to announce the year of his grace— a celebration of God’s destruction of our enemies— and to comfort all who mourn, To care for the needs of all who mourn in Zion, give them...
i knew that trying to explain Africa to friends that weren’t there would be difficult, but i didn’t expect it to be so hard to articulate.
there are still a lot of things that i can’t even explain to myself.
Covenant Renewal Prayer for 2011
Let me be your servant, under your command.
I will no longer be my own.
I will give up myself to your will in all things.
Lord, make me what you will.
I put myself fully into your hands: put me to doing, put me to suffering,
let me be employed by you, or laid aside for you,
let me be full, let me be empty,
let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and with a willing heart give...
back at school and i have been blessed with some awesome roommates.
i can’t wait to get to know them better
and i’m excited for all that they will teach me
about people, community, and Christ.
“I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have given me life.”

packing up again.
i don’t even bother unpacking my toiletries between trips any more, i never get around to it.
i haven’t been in one place for more then a few weeks in a while and it makes sense to be moving. it doesn’t make sense that i’ll be at school, staying put.
