songs that stay with me
verse of the day
what this blog is:
In a nutshell, it's about trusting God in the dark.
Expanding that thought, it's a venue of expression for this complex tangle of heart, mind, body, & spirit as I journey through the wilderness of faith toward the heart of God. As I purposefully wander through this wild & unexplored territory, expect displays of raw humanity: to see doubts aired, tears on display, & my brokenness laid bare. Knowing God to be in the habit of defying my expections, I offer my open heart and open hands. I pray for an audacious willingness to embrace the truth, to trust Him ruthlessly, even at the cost of turning life as I know it upside-down.
Dedicated to the glory of Elohim, God on High. To Him who keeps His covenant of love, for Abba who is compassionate & tender with my brokenness. For Jehovah-Shalom, the Lord of Peace; to El Shaddai, God All-Sufficient. For Yahweh, who is always moved by goodness & in whom Love has its beginning and end. For Him who defies definition ...
This is my humble offering.

from ransomed heart ministries {thank you, dean!!}
Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.
Psalm 86:11
What we have failed to learn is that clarity, reassurance, and proof cannot create trust, sustain it, or guarantee any certainty of its presence.

This really needs no comment does it? The cross says it all!
...loving you...
the last words of Christ were said on the cross. Forgive them for they know not what they are doing. And Jesus also said, it is finished. His work completed his mission. May your work and your mission help further His mission.
I came by earlier and couldn't quite figure out what this picture reminded me of. Tonight, I remembered.
"So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
'Til my trophies at last I'll lay down
I'll cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it someday for a crown"
May your surrender become your crown, sister-friend.
sarah, that is so amazing. i love that you posted this here for our beautiful kirsten-friend.
Lovely.
Coming to this place (MH) can feel like something we are pursuing. Then we find we are pursued. By the promise of growth. If only we'll surrender.
SO good to meet you in the flesh this past week. So, so good.
i just want to spread my arms out to the sides, throw my head back and worship Him
