It's been a week.

:(

Will fully update later...if I can find time...

My relationship with God is not based on what I have promised God. It's not about my promises at all. It is HIS promises that save me, not my own. I can't be good enough, I can't be sinless, I can't be perfect....but God has promised to make me perfect through Jesus Christ.

It's what He has promised to me that brings me to repentance.

What does it mean to have a heart of worship? After Pastor Frank's study on Sunday, I haven't been able to get my mind off of that question. Do I have a heart of worship? Is my praise sincere? How easy it is to get tangled up in our flesh when we are on stage and can easily become the center of attention!

...that someone so far away can still cause so much pain. I'll be honest in saying I am hurt. I feel abandoned. I feel uncared for. This is ridiculous. The very day I decide to open my heart a little and do one small act of kindness, I get shut down. I'm pretty much finished. But, my one curse won't allow me to. You see, I'm pretty much loyal to ( Read more... )

...I've ever felt as lonely as I feel tonight. It was kind of a rush of emotion--where suddenly it hit me. And I cried--not because of the loneliness--but because the one woman I wanted to speak to was no where near me tonight. What I would have given to be embraced by her and to pour out my heart once again like the old days. I'm tearing up just ( Read more... )

 "14Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15What accord has Christ with Belial?[b] Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? 16What agreement has the temple of God with idols?
