Lesson learned yesterday

This is a Sharpie permanent marker.

Never, ever, under any circumstances wave the above marker around without the cap on. Otherwise, you will have permanent marker on your jeans, the door, the walls, the ceiling, and the desk of the Children's Ministries Coordinator.

Behind the times?

As I was withdrawing some money from the bank today, the teller completed the transaction, then got into her best kindergarten teacher -its time to grab your mat and take a nap - voice, and said to me, "You know, you can get a debit card and take out cash anytime..."

Its late.

Well, its after 2 in the morning, and I am still up. Why? I don't know. Well, that's not entirely true. Do you ever have those moments when God keeps you up for what you deem is no apparent good reason? Well, I do. And its usually because God knows he has my undivided attention in these times.

Its time for me to recant my faith.

No, not my faith in Jesus Christ, my faith in me. A concept jumped into my head a while back, and it can be linked with Galatians 5:7 You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? I do believe that I allowed Jeff to get in the way of Jeff.

So how do I keep from Jeff from getting in the way of Jeff?

I must abandon the belief that I can fix every thing in my life by myself.
I must abandon the belief that I have all the answers.
I must abandon the belief that I am in control.
I must abandon the belief that I am worthless. (Contradictory? Nope.)

I must surrender my will.
I must surrender my fear.
I must surrender my rights.
I must surrender my doubts.
I must surrender.

I must decrease so that Christ may increase.

My Ladies

You got to know when to hold 'em...

For the third time in my life I played texas hold em, the game which traversed from one year to another. I'm pretty sure I lack the proper knowledge how to play the game. However, with the combination of being utterly exhausted from a four day youth trip,which caused me to not care how I played, and hanging out with people who consumed a little too much adult drinks, the miraculous happened...

From Despair to Hope.

Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away

Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run

'Cause I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
