...restore...

...restore my passion...
...restore my strength...
...restore my true desire for more...
...restore my self-esteem...
...restore my faith...
...restore my sensitivity to your Spirit...
...restore my burning and weeping heart for those around me...

...restore our relationship...but that is up to me...i'm sorry Lord. I've lost my focus...

::no turning back::

I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
No turning back
No turning back

Though none go with me, still I will follow
Though none go with me, still I will follow
Though none go with me, still I will follow
No turning back
No turning back

...simple & old, yet beautiful in its purest sense.

as I sat there in silence, this song was being sung as a young girl turned to me with tears in her eyes and said "I want to go down". I replied, "I'm coming with you." And as I sat there telling her that she was made perfect in God's eyes, His beautiful princess, I knew that those words were new to her. And as i told her that it didn't matter what she had done, He still loves her more than she could ever know, she slightly nodded her head and another tear rolled down her cheek.

The road will be long and hard, but someone else started their journey and I was blessed to see another miracle happen right before my eyes.

i give Him all the glory.

::random thoughts::

here's just a few random thoughts i put on my xanga...

God is good, always...

when life seems unfair and confusion reigns, He is still good...

if all that He ever did for me was die so I could live, that would be enough to praise Him 24/7 for the rest of my life...

sometimes I love just simple practicality...

i often find myself needing to return to the basics...

everyone wants to be loved and many will do whatever it takes to remove any feeling of rejection, even if it hurts them more in the end...

sincere love opens doors that once seemed impossible to open...

crying can be good...

trust is growing scarce...

God built us to live in a community...

no one can make it alone...

find the good in everything...even though sometimes it make take a deep, long search to find it...

pretty much everything in life holds an opportunity to be used by God...

...God is amazing...
