The Hunger Life
God, teach me lessons for living so I can stay the course.
Give me insight so I can do what you tell me-my whole life one long, obedient response.
Guide me down the road of your commandments; I love traveling this freeway!
Affirm your promises to me-promises made to all who fear you.
Let your love, God, shape my life with salvation, exactly as you promised; Then I’ll be able to stand...

Enthusiasm is not based on how fun your job is or how much it pays; it’s based on why you do what you do. In fact, the word enthusiasm comes from the Greek words en theos which mean “in God.” - Rick Warren

it's worth the wait
There’s more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, “The two become one.” Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever -the kind of sex that can never “become one.” There is a sense...

I just got home from our CS Small Group, and felt the need to write down all the things I was able to take home tonight.
I just thought maybe you’d want to hear them, too. :)

So we started off our discussion with a question that immediately created squeaky silence in the room, because it’s…

The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. (Deuteronomy 33:27)
The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. (Psalm...

Don't let limitations limit your vision
God will not only use your gifts to fulfill your destiny, he’ll also use your limitations.
Sometimes what looks like a disaster in your life is part of a much bigger plan. But you will never fulfill your destiny if you are having a pity party. If you have that attitude you will never fulfill your destiny. You have to realize that the unpleasant obstacles in your life are often...

Don't chu worry 'bout a thing
“If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers-most of which are never even seen-don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving. People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these...

Don't give up on those dreams
Those dreams, those desires that have always been in your heart for as long as you can remember.
Not the small ‘i wanna own a boat’ or ‘have this kind of career’ type of dreams, but those dreams that are so awesome, so big, so almost-impossible because you don’t know how it’s gonna happen because it’s bigger than yourself, because it impacts lives...

I will love you Lord my shield
I will love you Lord my rock
Forever all my days, I will love you God

WOW. chewing on this today
Ephesians 5:1-2 The Message (MSG)
“Watch what God does, and then you do it, - like children who learn proper behaviour from their parents.
MOSTLY WHAT GOD DOES IS LOVE YOU. Keep company with him and learn a life of love.
Observe how Christ loved us: His love was not cautious but EXTRAVAGANT. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to...

Your love amazes me
I’ll sing, I’ll dance, I’ll shout Because You are good
You are good to me
Lord, satisfy my soul with Your Love In the sun or rain of life, I will celebrate My heart will proclaim praise Because you ARE good, good to me And your goodness knows no bounds, it never stops. AMEN.

Higher than the mountains that I face And it’s stronger than the power of the grave Constant in the trial and the change This one thing remains
Cause Your Love never fails It never gives up It never runs out on me
On and on and on and on it goes FOR IT OVERWHELMS AND SATISFIES MY SOUL
And I’ll never ever have to be afraid
This one thing remains: Your Love..
In death, in life...

You will keep in perfect peace
all who trust in you,
all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Trust in the LORD always,
for the LORD GOD is the eternal Rock. (Isaiah 26:3, 4 NLT)
Why would you ever complain, O Jacob, or, whine, Israel, saying, “God has lost track of me. He doesn’t care what happens to me”? Don’t you know anything? Haven’t you been listening? God...

Twas the night before Christmas
Home. sigh
I was thinking..
crazy stupid love.
Crazy Stupid Love
CRAZY STUPID STUPID LOVE
(an awfully good movie though)
And the tightness was building in my chest
I was thinking
I need a cuppa. Now. Cuppa tea and a veg out session with the TV and just zone out ..
Flicked through channels..
Live Carols by Candlelight
That’ll do.
Running a bit behind on the whole Christmas...

I'm leaning into Your heavenly hug
“If I go up to the heavens, You are there; if I make my bed in the depths, You are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide me, Your right hand will hold me fast” ( Psalm 139:8-10).
Jesus said, “Surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20)
Note
Remain in this truth:
You are LOVED.

Don't miss the beautiful
How often do I drive right through the busyness of my days and miss the beautiful? How many moments of glory do I not even see because my eyes are on the mundane? Do I even look for it?
As we head into this busy holiday season and dance between the days of Christmas and New Years - as we decorate the doors and the hearths of our homes and communities, let’s be intentional to decorate the...
