My current tumblr crushes with the new percentages feature. I think it’s pretty funny that Ish is in the #1 spot and her picture is all pouty. Like she’s mad that’s it’s only 10%… HA!

Seriously, you all give me hope…

“Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and his mighty power. Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.”

- Ephesians 6:10-11

Wow! what a great verse, and visual. Put on the armor of God…love it.

I just got back from an awesome vacation up in Maine. While walking the rocky beach I discovered this rock in the shape of a heart. A little gift from God.

“Character Creates Courage
A legend from India tells about a mouse who was terrified of cats until a magician agreed to transform him into a cat. That resolved his fear…until he met a dog, so the magician turned him into a dog. The mouse-turned-cat-turned-dog was content until he met a tiger—so, once again, the magician changed him into what he feared. But when the tiger came complaining that he had met a hunter, the magician refused to help. ‘I will make you into a mouse again, for though you have the body of a tiger, you still have the heart of a mouse.’…Courage is an outgrowth of who we are. Exterior supports may temporarily sustain, but only inward character creates courage.”

- Just got back from an awesome vacation in Maine, and read the above this morning. Thank you God for the character you’ve developed in me, in order to approach my week with courage and conviction.

Thu, 01 Jul 2010 10:22:06 -0400

“To forgive someone is to display reverence. Forgiveness is not saying the one who hurt you was right. Forgiveness is stating that God is faithful and He will do what is right. Do you find yourself “doing God’s work for Him?” in other words do you find yourself judging others? Judgement is God’s job. To assume otherwise is to assume God can’t do it.”

Never early, Never Late

Wed, 23 Jun 2010 08:21:48 -0400

“You are never early, never late…You sent your Son in the fullness of time and will return at the consumption of time. Your plan is perfect. Bewildering. Puzzling. Troubling. But Perfect”

I read this early today. It’s an excerpt from “A Prayer for a Friend”, and I thought it was perfectly timed. 2 nights ago I received an SOS from a good friend. This friend was in danger, but through prayer and some work we got my friend to safety. The whole experience solidified even more, my belief in God’s will, and plan. God set His plan for my friend into action at exactly the right time, when it needed to happen. Everything has now begun to fall into place. If God hadn’t moved my friend to make certain decisions a couple of years ago, then there could have been a much different, more dire outcome. Thank you God, for watching over your children, and bringing this person into my life. Although I may question it sometimes, Your plan is perfect, and so is your timing. I love you God. I love you friend.

Father, God bless all my friends in whatever it is that You know they may need this day! And may their life be full of your peace, prosperity, and power as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with you. Amen.

“My grace is sufficient for you because my power is made perfect in weakness. I will all the more gladly boast of my weakness so that the power of Christ might more fully rest upon me.”

- 2 Corinthians 12:8-9

Boast of our affliction. What a funny thing to say. When we are afflicted, with suffering, death, disorders, loss of relationship, mental illness, physical illness, the last thing we want to do is go out and boast about it. Why does God let bad things happen to His people? One of the great questions of faith, and one that I’ve asked many times in my life. There’s no real easy answer, but there is hope found in this passage and many others. You see, the afflictions in life lead us to endurance. Endurance leads to character. Finally it’s in this character, these traits that we as a people find hope, and hope is the best of things. The people in my life who have affected my faith most profoundly, are the people who have endured through suffering and affliction, and have developed character because of it. It’s those people who have boasted of there affliction, because through their boasting they’ve led me closer to God. So, Lord, help me today, to not dwell in my affliction but to boast of it, because I know that through my affliction I will be brought closer to you, and provide hope to others.

“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

We were chatting yesterday about how some people get so consumed and caught up in relationships, that they lose themselves. After which, she posted this quote to FB. Not sure where she got it from, but I love it, so I thought I would post it here.

God knows my name

Fri, 21 May 2010 08:10:16 -0400

I received a small reward at work the other day, not much, simply some recognition for a job well done. The reward was a certificate of achievement kind of thing, and the certificate had my name on it. Also, my name was spoken and some of the senior management heard it. I consider myself to be a pretty humble man, so I tend to get uncomfortable with these things, but it also makes me feel good that my name was recognized. It got me thinking about how God knows my name.

“I have written your name on my hand” Isaiah 49:16

What a thought! My name on God’s hand. My name on God’s lips. Could it be?

I also got to thinking how many people out there may never have had their name honored, or heard it spoken with kindness. It’s probably really difficult for them to believe that God knows their name. But He does. Written on His hand. Spoken by His mouth. Whispered by His lips. Your name.

Some new music that I discovered this morning. Great song and video.

So, I was sitting on the back patio a few moments ago, enjoying the sun for a change. I was meditating, and praying, and an American Painted lady butterfly landed on my arm and spent a few minutes with me. It GMH. Thank you God, for your amazing creations.
