arkistry?

whether i pray out loud or in a whisper is irrelevant;
God hears me clearly.

whether i have a good voice or not is irrelevant;
God hears me clearly.

shall i...?

true love

"true love":

love that has been tested, over and over and over again,
but has faithfully proven itself to be steady and real.

some random thoughts from today

• Today is yesterday's tomorrow.
  Today is also tomorrow's yesterday.
• This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it BLAZE.
• Did it occur to you, when you learn whatever you are learning, you are really learning about God? The masterpiece ALWAYS points to the Artist.
• Philippians 3:12-14. SO BOMB.
  
• We are all made in the image of God, but we are not made in the exact same image of Him. Each individual is the bearer of a unique image of God. As God is infinite, it is impossible for ONE individual, ONE family, ONE church, ONE denomination, ONE race, ONE culture, ONE nation, ONE continent to FULLY reveal ALL of God's glory. To really know God, we need to strive to know EVERY side of Him; that is why we need each other.

i love walking to school :)

"strength in the face of pain or grief".

"be jesus to the world"

but first i need to ask,

who is Jesus to ME?

- Champion/Protector
- Healer/Restorer
- Giver of LIFE, Giver of Joy
- Comforter
- Encourager, Giver of Courage
- Peacemaker/Reconciler
- Someone who delights in me
- Faithful friend

Now, how can I be these to others?

clarity

it feels soooooooo good to be back,
good to be myself again.

hallelujah.

authenticity.

the real thing. are you the real thing?

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

[2 Corinthians 4:17, NIV, Scripture of the Day]

If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy,
I can only conclude that I was not made for here.
If the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary,
then of course I'll feel nude
when to where I'm destined I'm compared.

Speak to me in the light of the dawn,
Mercy comes with the morning.
I will sigh and with all creation groan
As I wait for hope to come for me.

Am I lost or just less found?
On the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way?
Is this a soul that stirs in me?
Is it breaking free, wanting to come ALIVE?

'Cause my comfort would prefer for me to be numb
And avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become.

For we, we are not long here.
Our time is but a breath, so we better breathe it.
And I, I was made to LIVE,
I was made to LOVE,
I was made to KNOW YOU.

Hope is coming for me.
Hope, He's coming for me.
Hope is coming for me.

[C.S. Lewis Song - Brooke Fraser]

God. seriously. one thing at a time...

no wonder...

"Those exposed to the toxic effects of child abuse are often so arrested by fear and so confused about their attachments, particularly about their attachment to God, that they're hardened to the message or stunted in their ability to grow in three important elements of Christian life - faith, hope, and love. Usually this happens not because of a lack of desire but because of fear - especially a fear of trusting those expected to be stronger and wiser."

"Attachments: Why you love, feel and act the way you do"
- Dr. Tim Clinton & Dr. Gary Sibcy

I have "the most damaging of attachment styles"...

I can't breathe...

Yeshua (the Hebrew or Aramaic name for Jesus)

= "YHWH" + "a cry for help"

= "God, save me."









YESHUA.

She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus,
for He will save His people from their sins.

(Matthew 1:21, NASB)

companion

= com "together with" + panis "bread"

= one who breaks bread with another.

God, i really don't know why you put up with us sometimes.

behold

= "be" [thoroughly] + "hold"

SEE HIM, for you become like whom you BEHOLD.

Whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into this likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

[2 Corinthians 3:16-18]

Do you have any comments on the role of art in the church?

"The role of art in the church... Art and beauty are God's ideas. They are His means of expressing His divine nature. The church should never see the arts as "worldly," but rather a means for expressing and proclaiming His glory! How amazing it must have been during the era of church history when patrons commissioned great works for the glory of God. Christopher and I would heartily agree with an article in Time magazine that stated, "Church and art today are scarcely on speaking terms. Yet Christianity was once a great patron of all the arts, and artists in turn enriched the faith. The church must 'reassume its ancient and proper responsibility and productivity with reference to all the arts,' an undertaking that 'it could well begin by purging its own arts [of the] insipid or precious or esoteric or sentimental.'"

- Greg Laurie, Pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship

You Are Still Holy

Holy, You are still holy


Even when the darkness surrounds my life


Sovereign, You are still sovereign


Even when confusion has blinded my eyes

Lord, I don't deserve Your kind affection


When my unbelief has kept me from Your touch


I want my life to be a pure reflection of Your love

So I come into Your chamber


And I dance at Your feet, Lord


You are my Savior


And I'm at Your mercy


All that has been in my life up 'til now


It belongs to You


You are still holy

Holy, You are still holy


Even though I don't understand Your ways


Sovereign, You will be sovereign


Even when my circumstances don't change

Lord, I don't deserve your tender patience


When my unbelief has kept me from Your truth


I want my life to be a sweet devotion to You

So I come into Your chamber


And I dance at Your feet, Lord


You are my Savior


And I'm at Your mercy


All that has been in my life up 'til now


It belongs to You


It belongs to You


I belong to You

For You are still holy

a franciscan benediction

May God bless you with discomfort
At easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships,
So that you may live deep within your heart.

May God bless you with anger
At injustice, oppression and exploitation of people,
So that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.

May God bless you with tears
To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war,
So that you may reach out your hand to comfort them
And turn their pain into joy.

And may God bless you with enough foolishness
To believe that you can make a difference in the world,
So that you can do what others claim cannot be done
To bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.

Amen.
