Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55:6-7
While he may be found. This puts the fear of God in me. What if I neglect God's word? What if I neglect to seek Him? I think I always count on His patience, mercy and grace. I count on it so much that I take advantage of it. Lord, please keep your words and the fear of you before my eyes so that I wont neglect your word.
You give me all I need for today. You provide all I need for life. You gave the Israelites Manna and only allowed them to gather enough for that day. In the same way you want me to gather spiritual food from your word DAILY. You don't want me to try and live my life on the crumbs of yesterday. Of course the truths I learned yesterday will still apply today and I should keep your word in my heart. I must however never believe that I have enough or know enough of you. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be filled.

in the madness...
This morning in the craziness of life.. babies, breakfast all that I must do. Your voice came so sweetly to me in a song.
Jesus I My Cross Have Taken
Jesus I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee destitute, despised, forsaken Thou from hence my all shalt be Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought or hoped orKnown Yet how rich is my condition,God and heaven are still my own
Let the world despise and leave me They have left my Saviour too Human hearts and looks deceive me, Thou are not like them untrue Oh while thou dost smile upon me, God of wisdom, love and might Foes may hate and friends disown me, Show thy face and all is bright
Man may trouble and distress me, Twill but drive me to they breast Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest Oh tis not in grief to harm me, While thy love is left to me Oh twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee
Go then earthly fame and treasure, Come disaster, scorn and pain In thy service pain is pleasure, With thy favor loss is Gain I have called thee Abba Father, I have stayed my heart on thee Storms may howl and clouds my gather, All must work for good to me.
Soul, then know thy full salvation, Rise o'er sin and fear and care Joy to find in every station, Something still to do or bear Think what Spirit dwells within thee, Think whatFather's smiles are thine Think that Jesus died to win thee, Child of heaven, canst thou repine
Haste thee on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer Heaven's eternal days' before thee, God's own hand shall guide us there Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight and prayer to praise.
Thank you sweet saviour.

I'm so excited about this blog thingy. I'm so behind the times to just be getting one now but I'm still very excited. I hope to share my thoughts and the happenings in my life. I hope that it keeps me in touch with those who I perhaps have lost touch with. Most of all I hope that my ramblings will bring hope and encouragement into your lives.
