Your Glory...

April 25, 2006








Rejoice
in the Lord ALWAYS. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness
be evident to all. The Lord is NEAR. Do not be anxious about anything,
but in EVERYTHING, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present
your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.











Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
your perfect love is casting out fear
even when im caught in the middle
of the storms of this life
I won't turn back, I know you are near

and i will fear no evil
for my God is with me
and if my God is with me
whom then shall i fear
whom then shall i fear

OH NO YOU NEVER LET GO
THROUGH THE CALM AND THROUGH THE STORM
OH NO YOU LET GO
EVERY HIGH AND EVERY LOW
OH NO YOU NEVER LET GO
LORD, YOU NEVER LET GO OF ME

I can see the light, that is coming
for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
and there will bean end to these troubles
but until that day comes,
well live to know you here on this earth

and i will fear no evil
for my God is with me
and if my God is with me
whom then shall i fear
whom then shall i fear

OH NO, YOU NEVER LET GO
THROUGH THE CALM AND THROUGH THE STORM
OH NO, YOU LET GO
EVERY HIGH AND EVERY LOW
OH NO, YOU NEVER LET GO
LORD, YOU NEVER LET GO OF ME


You keep on loving and you never let go!
Ill keep on singing...

OH NO, YOU NEVER LET GO
THROUGH THE CALM AND THROUGH THE STORM
OH NO, YOU LET GO
EVERY HIGH AND EVERY LOW
OH NO, YOU NEVER LET GO
LORD YOU NEVER LET GO OF ME

I can see the light, that is coming
for the HEART THAT HOLDS ON
and there will be an end to these troubles
but until that day comes
STILL I WILL PRAISE YOU
STILL I WILL PRAISE YOU

oh no you never let go
through the calm and through the storm
oh no you never let go
every high and every low
oh no you never let go
Lord, YOU NEVER LET GO OF ME


"Our God reigns, Our God REIGNS!
forever your kingdom reigns..."








God will have his glory...

It's Q & A Time, People!

April 17, 2006

Ok, just as the title suggest, it's time for a little Q & A.

It's something some have said and some have not. It's something that, we can agree, is highly misunderstood. It's something that can be highly dangerous but it can be the biggest blessing.

Time for the question?

 What does it mean to tell someone (anyone) the words "I Love You?" If you say is to someone (anyone, parent, friend, spouse, boyfriend/girlfriend), what do you mean by it when you utter those words? If you had to replace those words with some other words to express the same thing, what would they be?

Not to beat a dead horse, it's just something I'm learning about and I think/know it's something I've misunderstood for a long time.

What do you think?

LOVE!?!?!?!?

April 12, 2006"Love is giving someone the power to destroy you... and trusting they won't" - My Friend Blake

What do you think?

**
If I speak in the language of men and angels, but have not love, I'm
only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of
prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have
a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I
give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but
have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude,
it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of
wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never Fails!

That's a strong statement, but what a promise!

Freedom to Write

April 10, 2006

Freedom can be determination.

It feels good to feel the freedom to sit and write once
again.

 

 “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where
the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” 2 Corinthians 3:17

 
I currently find myself in my lovely little house here in Hilo Hawaii.
I awoke this morning on a different island, Maui,
but after a quick 7 am flight, I’m back where I began. The weekend was crazy
and God is faithful. I got a chance to go to Maui,
so I did. Wouldn’t you if $150 was all it cost?

The weekend was filled with whales, fish, lots of water, a lost Japanese
guy named Yuji who was introduced to the Name above all Names (you can pray for
that), Krispie Kreme doughnuts (praise God), a lot of “chillin”, late night
conversations, and very little homework done on my part.

Bet you can't pick out who Yuji is...

 

These are from a sunset whale cruise we did on Saturday night. At 30 - 40 tons and 45 feet long, Humpback whales are an awesome creation.

It was a really romantic setting... with 3 other guys... something/someone was missing, haha!

I’m thankful for freedom. We serve a BIG, chain-breaking, big axe
carrying, light-shinning, freedom giving, gracious, loving God; and all the
darkness in the world, which we are contained in for the moment, TREMBLES at
the sound of His name!

 

“Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we
wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.” Isaiah 26:8

I was walking with Kira (L) on campus today and the
definition of “renown” was “something everybody should know, has no negative
connotation, and you’re proud of.” Pretty good definition if you ask me,
especially coming from a girl with no concept of the word in its truest form.

 
Why don’t you pray for Kira, right now. God is working on
her heart.

 
(Did you pray for a prospective sister, or did you skip that
part?)

 

Question: What’s you purpose in life? I’m not after a "church
answer." I’m after an honest one… just honest. When you wake up in the
morning, what’s the first thing on your mind? As you go through the day, what
consumes your thoughts?

 "I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take
hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the
people and a light for the gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free
captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
I am the Lord, that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my
praise to idols." Isaiah 42: 6-8
