Just think of the possibilities!

I was just outside weeding, and I started to think about how things in the body of Christ would begin to operate.... or, materialize differently, if we would just learn to listen and obey.

Day 1

Today has been weird- Maybe I didn't get enough sleep last night, maybe I didn't drink enough water yesterday, maybe a thousand things.

That was a serious workout. My push-ups were pathetic.

Then I felt dizzy, faint, and nauseous in the shower.

Then I saw Hannibal on the way to work.

Then I ate McDonald's for lunch.

Then I got a blasting headache behind my eye sockets.
Then I took Sudafed.

Then it took me twice as long as it usually does to cath and put down Nadia.

I'm tired.

I'm re-watching the office on nbc.com.

And its Day 1. :)

I, for one

am excited.

Think about what God must feel as he daydreams over the destiny of His bride FINALLY embracing him at the wedding feast.

Yours, Oh Lord, is the greatness.. the power, glory, splendor.
^I bet that verse was born out of some deep state of meditation. Oh Lyle.

I'm here:
"I'm not always on top of a mountain
You could find me in a valley
And sometimes I'm washed downriver
But at least I'm clean
And at least you're good.
At least you're good."

If you're happy and you know it

I was just reading my livejournal from back in the day. Its unbelievable to me to read my own thoughts from 3 and 4 years ago and realize the conclusions I had come to back then.. seeing that half of these things are the same issues that I'm crying out for relevation right now.

Lightness of Spirit. Do you know how attractive that is? Emotionally, relationally, spiritually, long-term?
Not even that the point is to attract- but really, Jesus attracted.

I'm dropping my online classes. I cannot focus on them.
I'll do it next semester.

I want to talk about the amazing thing that happens when a people enveloped by the love of Christ, moved by His wild affection, make the concious decision to themselves display that love they now know. Mountains move.
My family is a mountain. Mount Everest.
How do I show the love of Christ? What does that look like in the home? Between these relationships?


Another thought: in addition, not separate from these things. I think it would be really good for me to go on a trip- to go visit some place or some friends.
Could be Naph in Oregon.
Could be SJ in Cali.
Could be NY.
Could be KC.
Could be Ireland, Amsterdam, or India.
Could be Kona.
Maybe should be Kona.
Something needs to happen. I need a break.

P.S. I love you.

Things are.

Tahnee is coming to visit from Oct 28th- November 7th.
Prepare yourself. She is one of a kind.

She wears long-johns under shorts now.

She called me at 5:30am Seattle time to tell me that Jon Foreman's "Your Love is Strong" is a really good rong.
That's a real friend.

So Kel and I went to a Recovery for the City meeting last night. I felt weird about it at first but OH MY GOSH how encouraging, how filling, how exciting to see the hand of the Lord God touching these individuals and changing their lives. HOW HE DELIGHTS IN COMING TO OUR RESCUE.

HEYO.

okay and secondly: How did this (below) happen?


















^ I cannot believe for a second that this wasn't planned in one fashion or another. No way it just happened, and someone was there to capture the "breathetaking moment." pish posh.


Something is wrong with this computer.

My love for you ___ red rose.
