Sometimes in life we don’t know where were going,
but Lord give us strength to carry on.

Lord I pray today that you would give me strength, bravery, courage, and greatest of all love and compassion. I pray that your will would be done in my life no matter what. I’m not sure of the costs that I will have to pay while on earth, but I know they will never be as big as the price you paid for me.

I am humbled by your mercy and your grace. I pray for the hurting, the broken and the loss. May they see us [christians] as beacons, lighthouses, bright places of hope. We wait and we hope in you Jesus. You are my refuge and my strength. You are beautiful.

May your beauty extend to us. Let us be a passionate people. Passionate about making your name famous in all the earth. I pray that we would desire things that our holy, pure, and true.

Thank you Lord for the wonderful people that you have put in my life. Thank you for the cross. Thank you for grace. Thank you for everlasting, eternal, sin-less love.

Amen

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
- Philippians 4:6

I’m up early today. I had a hard time sleeping last night for some reason. I woke up at about 2am feeling awful. I do feel rested but the only sad thing is everyone in my house is still sleeping. So I’ll have to probably hide away in the living room or with my iPod for the next couple hours.

Waiting to to hear back about one interview day and time. Pray for me if you would. Pray that I would let the Lord use me completely. I really want to be that grain of seed that dies to produce many seeds.

Lord how silly am I to think I can do anything good on my own. Calm me Lord. Speak through me. Let me be your instrument of love and compassion.

So here we are, you and I. Wow! I’m out of my league and loving every minute!

Chicken, brats, mash potatoes, brocci casserole (brocci word via Lizzy). It’s been a very good 4th of July. I’m home for the night and kind of tired. I stayed out way late last night and today I paid for it with a sluggish and lethargic feel in my legs.

I’m typing on my parents computer on a keyboard that I can’t stand so most likely this post won’t be very lon g. agosah stuiud keybobard..

I could right a million songs about the way you say my name
I could live a lifetime with you and then do it all again
and like I can’t force the sun to rise or hasten summer’s start,
neither should I rush my way into your heart
