day 7.
i finished my task.
the consistency was difficult not going to lie.
blogging daily though helped me to definitely keep before me areas of my life in which i struggle. which quite honestly is pretty much every area of my life.
i so often fail.
but so often i seem to ignore it.
i feel bad for a short time but allow myself to forget and get caught back up in the race that is life in orange county.
by blogging it forces me to slow down ... Read More

i'm sick, sick
sick of the disease
the disease of being born
born into this dying race
i thought You came to heal
to bring me back to life
but why do i fail
why do i break
why do i still get sick
i called Your name
i screamed in pain
but i sill get hurt
i still feel sick
my mind is confused
things don't go like i think they should
i want my way to be Your way
but You heal as You so choose
Your redemption is beyond comprehension
Your way is definitely not my own
break ... Read More

day 3.
i have come to realize i am very judgmental.
i judge people all the time.
often without even thinking about it.
before i know it i am thinking critical or negative thoughts about a person.
i do this with people i know and even with complete strangers i see at a store.
i have no right to judge.
i am too messed of a human being to judge even the worst of humanity.
only God has the right to judge.
Father, forgive me for judging.
forgive me for even thinking ... Read More

day 2.
e. lock gave us this quote tonight and it got me thinking and writing on the back of a tithing envelope.
"a man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell. "
c.s lewis
the quote isn't complicated. yet extremely deep.
it's simple. yet profound.
it is impossible for me to do anything to increase or decrease God's glory.
there is nothing i can do ... Read More
