http://www.coveredindust.com/2014/03/into-open-sea.html
Into The Open Sea. I believe in all that has never yet been spoken. I want to free what waits within me. So that what no one has dared to wish for. May for once spring clear. If this is arrogant, God, forgive me,. But this is what I need to say. May what I do flow from me like a river,. No forcing and no holding back,. The way it is with children. Then in these swelling and ebbing currents,. These deepening tides moving out, returning,. I will sing You as no one ever has,. Into the open sea.

Thrive - beauty: . There is a beauty that I deny my heart. I have allowed darkness and Shadows to rule my heart's thirst for beauty for more years than I care to admit. If I'm counting correctly, 24 years. at least. I have found myself enslaved by a prison of my own design. I have been held captive by a wound that reduces beauty to either something for my consuming or for my disposal. Yet the desire to admire this beauty- be captivated by it, behold it- remains. My heart has been made new and every claim...

Lesson of the ants. Ants: seemingly harmless little bugs that march and trail through gardens, through lawns. and occasionally picnics. Several years ago they were the protagonist in a CG animated film by Pixar and yet another by DreamWorks Animation. They are revered as wise when compared to the lazy grasshopper and the subject of several proverbs and axioms. They are small, mostly harmless and virtually unnoticed. That is, until they swarm. Have you ever kicked an ant hill? Little black sugar ants have...

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable." (Proverbs 25:2, 3 NIV). Glory is "to take great pride or pleasure in" according to the dictionary. What gives God such delight to conceal matters from us, his sons? It's like a cosmic game of Marco Polo with Divine implications. Is God messing with us? Perhaps it's the joy that results from the search? Perhaps it's all of these?

A Blessing For Longing. Blessed be the longing that brought you here. And quickens your soul with wonder. May you have the courage to listen to the voice of desire. That disturbs you when you have settled for something safe. May you have the wisdom to enter generously into you own unease. To discover the new direction you longing wants you to take. May the forms of your belonging- in love, creativity, and friendship-. Be equal to the grandeur and call of your soul. May the One you long for long for you.

In recent years, I've found myself attending several Christian conferences for pastors, Christian leaders, etc. Many times, I find that I've taken copious notes on whatever subject the speaker is conveying to the listeners. It's been helpful and beneficial for me. Some, not so much. Man, I wish it were as easy as "missing the point." I wish that somehow those pastors and leaders were simply looking in the wrong places and now this speaker can point them in the correct direction. It isn't about Scripture.

What we do, matters. Who we are, matters. Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior! He is the God who avenges me, who subdues nations under me, who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me. Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name." (Psalm 18:37-49 NIV). It's not all Him. It's not all us. We are in this WITH Him. Enter your email address:. Essence: the basic nature of a thing; the quality or qualities.

In The Name Of Love. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." Martin Luther King, Jr. I'm a martial artist and an assitant martial arts instructor. This year, I'll earn my Black Belt in the Jhoon Rhee Tae Kwon Do system and I'm grateful for my instructors and classmates who have been encouraging me, challenging me and training me.
