| God has been speaking to me all over the place the last two weeks. it's been pretty awesome and completely unexpected. Sp discernment is not one of my strong points...anyhow it's been really cool to just get prs answered so quickly. I saw narnia this weekend. it was amazing....my favorite line from the movie.
lucy (riding on the back of aslan) "aslan, where are we going". it just struck me because right after she said that i thought "girl, hello. you're riding on alsans back, pretty certain it doesn't matter where he's taking you, you're gonna be alright". hmmm so about this God speaking to me stuff...
headed to new mexico this weekend for on of my teammates' (from china) wedding. soooo excited. i get to see my old roommate stacy!!! have a great week! |

| on waiting.....
A waiting person is a paitent person. The word paitence means the willingness to stay where we are and live the situtaion out to the full in the belief that something hidden there will manifest itself to us...but there is more. waiting is open-ended. Open ended waiting is hard for us because we tend to wait for something very concrete, for something that we wish to have. Much of our waiting is filled with wishes...It was only when i was willing ot let go of wishes that something really new, something beyond my own expectations could happen to me. Just imagine what mary was actually saying in the words, "i am the handmaid of the Lord...let what you have said be done to me" (luke 1:38). She was saying "i don't know what this all means, but i trust that good things will happen."

| - voice of truth I know this is an old song, but i just heard it today and it just spoke to my heart. I hope everyone had an amazing thanksgiving. I have to go to work tomorrow...bummer.
Voice of Truth, by casting crowns
Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand
But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy, you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"
Chorus:
But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"
The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors
Shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand
But the giant's calling out my name
And he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me
Time and time again. "Boy you'll never win!"
"You'll never win!"
But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth
