a day

have you had one of those days: when you had breakfast at 6am, you drove early into work and you were late, you didn't eat lunch, you were accused/reminded that you should have said something earlier, you know you haven't had enough coffee, you had to be bigger than a person of more authority and was told it would still be uncomfortable, you know that your God-time is necessary, you were reminded that you were late for a meeting that really didn't have to happen, someone finally told you that your article of clothing was really inside out, you spoke too many words and tried to shove too many in the other person's mouth, you know the clothes don't fit and didn't want to be reminded, but you tried them on anyways, you already know that sorry isn't enough, you know that girl time is becoming more essential in these times, you know you need to relax more and you went to bed too early too many times already, but you need to do more.

Life can be unfair, but God is a just and merciful God.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

What do I know of holy.....

Blogger peeps...

Its reaping time... not money or gifts but people. I got seriously smacked down tonight when I had an opportunity to talk about God and just dropped the ball.

WHY am I going to let my friends just die and go to hell when I have such good news to share. Its so hard and my heart is heavy... what do I know?

I made You promises a thousand times
I tried to hear from Heaven
But I talked the whole time
I think I made you too small
I never feared you at all, no
If You touched my face would I know You?
Looked into my eyes could I behold You?

So what do I know...
What do I know of holy...

I guess I thought that I had figured You out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were might to save
Those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who you might be
The slightest hint of you brought me down to my knees

So what do I know...
What do I know of holy...

What do I know of Holy?
What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?
And a God who gave life it's name?
What do I know of Holy?
Of the One who the angels praise?
All creation knows Your name
On earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love?

My new confession

Psalm 91 (New King James Version)

Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

¹ He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
² I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

³ Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler^{a]" style="font-size: 0.75em; line-height: 0.5em; ">[a]}
And from the perilous pestilence.
⁴ He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
⁵ You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
⁶ Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
⁸ Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

⁹ Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
¹⁰ No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
¹¹ For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
¹² In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
¹³ You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

¹⁴ “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
¹⁵ He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
¹⁶ With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”
