Our Enemy, Defeated

Though all our Glory extinct, and happy state
Here swallow'd up in endless misery.
But what if he our Conquerour, (whom I now
Of force believe Almighty, since no less
Then such could hav orepow'rd such force as ours)

-Milton


We battle against a defeated enemy... This should encourage us in amazing ways!
The struggles we face day to day have one goal, to make us lose the connection we are design to have with our creator. It's a plan hatched by our enemy to steal away what we have been granted by God, our place in heaven. We must fight to keep constant connection with him, to bring other to him. There is no other purpose.
We have to swat away the demonic distractions in our life to see the clear picture.
God gives us the ability to do this with suprising ease when we are willing to fall in line with his will, not our own.

Lord make me a trophy of your victory over the dark places,
May your will be my will, May your heart be my heart.
Teach me to administer grace in a godly fashion.
Teach me to be humble.
Teach me to see selfish pride.
Lord thank you for all you've done.

Amen

Christ Watch Over Me



I am in awe of the wat God moves through his people. How he can reach through someone else and just speak. Yes, I just had this experience and for that I am grateful. I am now convinced that God responds to pure obedience without the need for feeling like doing anything. Last night while talking to a friend I was moved beyond belief while in prayer.... A prayer that niether him nor I wanted to prey mind you, we just prayed out of obedience because we knew we should. And out of that we were blessed in amazing ways. God is so cool! Yes there are struggles, yes we still have to fight, yes we will take casualties in war but in the midst of all this battle we are victorious. I need to be reminded of this often. Gods grace and love and mercy and power are endless, praise be to our king forever.

That's Why He Hurt His Hands



I constantly have to remind myself of Gods grace, of his patients, or his unbelievable need to take care of us and save us...from ourselves.

Save me oh lord, carry me from this broken place.
This place I call home,

But you call prison.

Your Victory oh lord, is finished.
Redemption awaits,

Seven Fold.

Protect me oh lord, from thine enemy.
Who lies within,

Deceiving.

Your grace covers me, oh lord.

I long to be, Free.

Double posting? What the !!??

Ok this double posting nonsense has to stop. I've been posting equal posts on both of my blogs because of my inability to choose between the two. They both have good points. I kind of like the wordpress.com blog better but.... all my blogging buddies are on blogger! And I feel all alone over there.. :( I may just stay with blogger. I don't know... this sucks! I hate making decisions.

By the way, I'm an idiot.

And with that, till next time.

Boston in the Rearview



While this picture has no spiritual signifigance whatsoever, it is a cool picture of me driving away from boston in a black convertable Mustang doing about 70! Nuff said. :)

This week was one of ups and downs… I’ve been pretty good over all and yesterday I heard from God. I feel he told me something big….but I’m not sure how to process it yet. Have you ever heard something that you think was from God but you don’t have any idea what it means? Maybe you don’t see it at all, or even believe it? That’s basically where I am right now. I guess that’s not a bad place but it is a bit frustrating!

Saturday My youngest daughter fell down a flight of stairs! She went down on her face then flipped somewhere in the middle and went down the rest of the way on her back. Somehow all she suffered was a fat upper lip…. amazing. If that was me I’d probably be dead, ha.

And with that a quote for the day!

The trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed. -C. S. Lewis
