Stones...

-Jesus forgive us for being so wrapped up in the things of You, that we ignore You.

I am SO sick of hearing of all the people who want to grab a piece of a work or a move of God so much that they ignore the need for Love right underneath their noses. oh if the church would awaken and see that church isn't a demonstration or production on sunday morning, but its working as a body, a unit to act as Jesus.  Love. Love. Love. 

John 15:12

"how can we worship a homeless guy on sunday and then ignore [or neglect] one on monday?"

basically, we need to get back to the fundamentals, which NEVER get old, even though its a message as old as time (and when you break it down, ironically, ); Jesus died, He preched a message of radical Love, hope, faith, compassion, sacrifice, grace, mercy, judgement, servitude, redemption, achievable holiness, and SO much more. so why the HELL do people desire "miracles" and "signs" and "wonders"?? is Jesus not wonderful enough as it is?? do we not have enough faith to know that God is sovereign and all powerful to move and save as He wills?? why do we have to be so selfish as to ask for "signs, wonders, and miracles"??

oh wait.

i know.

Matt 12:39

and others...

its necessary.

its time for us to be Christ-like; its a message of a [hope, love, and faith] journey.

DC Trip

8-15-08

Hard to believe that I’ve only know these guys for only about 2 days, Kassi for even shorter.  There is such a connection. I have no clue what it is. Yea I do...Jesus. But today is the drive to DC and things are not getting off to a good start. Animosity and tensions run rampant, and coffee is in great need amongst our posse. We left at friggin 10 o’clock. But things will get better. Knoxville sucks because I-40 is closed and there’s weird detours. BUT for lunch we totally tracked down a Panera using “free 411” and bouncing around to find the nearest restaurant during the Knoxville extravaganza. Did it. We registered all the unregisterees. We checked email. We ate tasty lunch. Tennessee forever. Virginia forever. House late. Spiders in the basement. Crash ON my sleeping bag only after an INTENSE conference with our group. Maile got pissed. The Call tomorrow.

The Call.

On the Mall.

Too much for words.

God showed me a lot things, the key points being:

- mark myself (setting apart myself) for the Lord

musical inspiration

renewed consecration and dedication in prayer for issues that break the heart of God. 

confirmation of the fact that i need these years to train myself in the way of the Lord.

and sooo much more.
