Weak

Today I feel weak. There is much on my heart and much on my mind. 

I am speaking tonight in Piedmont for a donor dinner for Mount Hermon.  Supposedly some of the guests attending are some pretty big names of attendees that come here every summer. Something about fortune 500? It's going to be a long drive in traffic.  God has a purpose for me there. I pray His Spirit is moving through me tonight.  "Instead of speaking with conviction," I want to "speak my convictions." -the quiet poet

There are some hurting people in our house.  We are having a meeting today to talk through and address some of the hurt and discomfort of some of our housemates (from 3-5pm).  We are experiencing the picture of "bearing each other's burdens" and "rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep." (Galatians 6:2; Romans 12:15) 
+Hard challenges. Sharpening experiences. Deepening friendships. God working.

"And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weakness, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.   Knowing these truths God, leads my heart to this desire and prayer, that I may be "well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong!!" (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)

Rejoice with me, and may we boast in the Lord and in our weakness for Christ to be known, seen, and glorified!

Long post, short post

I realized that long posts are fun, but not the easiest to read or sit down and write.  I think I am going to try to write short posts from now on.

So here's to the first of short posts! :)
