There is a more excellent way.
There is a way that leads to life and peace.
And it is possible to love life and see good days.
Oh that man would stop his strivings, stop his vain wanderings
and searching for things that will vanish in a mere breath.
There is so much more.
There is rest and peace and joy abounding, unhindered, everasting.
That man would see that his ways are evil.
That he would not participate in the unfruiful deeds done in darkness.
And come to the Light.
That we would humble ourselves...

When we stumble and fall.
I am so thankful for life.
So thankful that I can breath.
I'm so thankful that I can trust and rest.
Because when I (or try to) hold life in my own hands,
it falls apart. Makes a mess.
And every time I realize what I've done, even when I think it's too late,
and I offer that mess up to Jesus with open hands,
He is so willing to even take it and make it into something beautiful for His glory.
Things look messy for me, because self seeks that glory due to Him for itself.
Because "I" want to be known.
"I"...

Mweraba!
Wow. So I realize that I have not written or posted anything for a very long time.
Its been really crazy lately, but the Lord has been doing some amazing things in and through my life.
He is such a good Father! I am so thankful that I can trust Him with every part of life.
Tomorrow afternoon I, along with some others in my family (and team), are headed to Uganda, Africa.
It is amazing how it all worked out for us to get to go.
So we would really appreciate as many prayers as we can get.
I want to be a willing vessel for Him to use in whatever ways...

Judgement Seat of Christ
{Taken from the book "Seven Days Left", By Charles Monroe Sheldon, 1892. Pages 205-215. A message by a Mr.Jones.... I know it's a little lengthy, but I had to share it. Such truth!}
"For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done in His body, whether they be good or bad."
(referring to 2 Cor. 5:10)
The judgement seat of Christ will not be a dreadful place to a man whose sins have been forgiven...

He bought us to set us free.
Think about that! He chose to buy us from our captors, wretches we are, to give us freedom.
And it wasn't a small price He paid. No. He died. And why? For our freedom.
And this isn't some fake freedom we just imagine. It's true freedom in Christ! But still, why would He want to give us freedom? "Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath,...

Life
Look at life the way it is... the way God gave it to you. The ways He loves.
Give thanks for all His blessings in life today. There are so many other believers in this world who look as if they have so much less then what we have. But maybe, they have more. Not physically, but spitirually. They know their God better because they don't have the temptations and distractions we have. How I long for this kind of life.
A life that doesn't thrive...

Stay alert; It's a war...
Probably the number one reason why prayer malfunctions in the hands ofbelievers is that we try to turn a wartime walkie-talkie into a domesticintercom. Until you know that life is war you cannot know what prayer isfor. Prayer is for the accomplishment of a wartime mission...But whathave millions of Christians done? We have stopped believing that we arein a war. No urgency, no watching, no vigilance. No strategic planning.Just easy peace and prosperity. And what did we do with the walkietalkie? We tried to rig it up as an intercom in our houses...

This is what I desire.....
"I urge upon you communion with Christ; a growing communion.
There are curtains to be drawn aside in Christ
that we never saw, and new foldings of love in him. I despair that I shall ever win to the far
end of that love, there are so many aspects to it. Therefore dig deep, and sweat and labor and take pains
for him, and set by as much time in the day
for him as you can. We will be won in the labor."

Florida Trip
Kinda feels like I have a lot to catch up on....
Life has been crazy of the late.
So......
this here will be a picture splurge of our wonderfully awesome trip to Florida a week ago.
We had a wonderful time. Even though we only spent 3 days down there, we stuffed in as much to do as we possibly could! Then each evening was the mission's conference. That was definitely the highlight of it all.
Thursday... (traveling until 2am)
Friday.......
