she used to tie her hair up in ribbons and bows... i still do.
I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit's power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over hte line. The decision has been made - I'm a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, show down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight walking, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, worldly talking, cheapt giving and dwarfed goals... I don't have to be right, first... recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, am uplifted in prayer and labor with power. My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, lured away, turned back, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice. I won't give up, shut up, or let up, until I have stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must keep going until He comes, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My banner will be clear.

a weekend to remember.
walk down this mountain
with your heart held high
follow in the footsteps of your make
with this love that's gone before you
and these people at your side
if you offer up your broken cup
you will taste the meaning of this life
