the Lord is so good to me, to us…His children…

through the valley, He holds us up. on the mountain, He is rejoicing with us.

my heart has been hungering for more of Him and i am so thankful. in this season, i am finding what it is to truly depend on Him in everything, in every way. there is no way that anything coud ever be more satisfying than sitting at His feet and waiting on Him. even if He is silent, it is so good to be still & sit in the beauty of His presence.

i am so glad that autumn is here and i am even more excited that thanksgiving is right around the corner…it’s going to be so good. lately i have been so anxious about the future…but then, i remember to “not be anxious about anything…” and rather should just live in this moment. i am learning and re-learning again….it’s a process, but isn’t He worthy? He’s so worthy and so much more….

ok, got to get back to reading…(trying to go through a book on managing finances because, it’s another little lesson i’m learning ) )

…blessings…

today a couple of us from here went to a nursing home in tyler and played guitar and sung some songs for the old folk…it was so humbling. i re-realized how selfish my motives are….how taking a few small decisions with what you with your day can truly bless others. i love hearing the people’s stories in these homes…they’ve lived much longer lives, so of course they have much to say and are often much more wise. i had on a pair of jeans that had holes in the knees (you know, the ones where you buy them for 90 dollars with holes already in them because it’s the ‘style’) and a lady i was talking to said “miss, you know you have holes in your jeans?” she thought that it was the funniest thing so i just told her that i needed to learn how to sew :]

aw, i was blessed. i feel like i am incredibly blessed though i don’t deserve it….i don’t deserve any of it. all day long i have had that phrase going through my head that john piper says “Let None Say in the End, “I’ve Wasted It!” …..living my life for my King, laying it down at the Cross and walking in His love only to glorify Him.

“because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. i will praise you as long as i live” ps. 63:3

tomorow i’m going to a church i found near dallas and i am so excited….its a branch off of cornerstone simi in california (francis chan) and it’s main desire is Jesus and my main desire is Jesus so we fit pretty well :]

love…
