God's Word...Every Day. Period.

Jesus,

I have ignored your Word.
I know it is my life, because You are my life.
I want to be faithful to remember You, to soak You up in Your Word.
Please forgive me for ignoring it.
I am coming.

Friends, I have a challenge for all of us. First, listen to Revive our Hearts for Monday, Jan 5th. here. I accept the challenge to spend time with God every day for a month. Will you join me?

I love the little ones

Rukea I miss your smiling, silly face! May many Jesus people share truth with you and love you.

Interesting...

Assessment

Assessment.

Heart: beating
now faintly
pulse surges,
fades;

Grace defies
death-fear:
half-closed eyes.

Breath: there
now shallow,
another deep
gasp.

Life-truth: inhale
mouth, dry;
heat, pale.

Quickly, bind!
pressure stays:
weak blood
life-blood.

Lay my body
in a bath;
the water from
Your side.

Wash my wounds;
bind them.
Your life-blood
for mine.

Fill my lungs
with air,
with You.
Only You I breathe.

My heart cannot
beat alone.
It's You I need.

Lay for the Little Girls

You three
around your work
innocently
you follow

the example of
your mother
and women's work
is not toil for you.

It is your play
as you laugh,
and tease;
as you pound,
and sift,

your hearts light,
too young for
the weary sorrow
that your mothers bear.

What will your eyes see
as the years come,
your soft hands hardened
when play becomes work?

Will you be the first,
or a second wife,
and will your smile
abide, or die
with your first
or second child,
oppressed by the tears
you are forbidden to cry?

And what of your sweet,
child-clean souls,
knowing now only
a god you must appease,
a god far away
full of wrath
unable to keep
evil spirits at bay?

bye!

Bye everyone! I think I'll leave the States now. I'm not sure how much I'll get to update this but you never know....maybe I will have a little bit of time on the internet.

So...if not, I'll see you in December. Maybe I'll have a tan. On my face only. (evil laughter) (after all, it is three a.m.)

My Family

Family; baptism; "Only Alive" by Jars of Clay; being identified with His death and resurrection; being in the same family as those who are tortured and killed for their faith in Jesus; saying yes to Him no matter what! Whew! I'm tired now. :)
