CROSSeyed contemplations: October 2007

http://crosseyedcontemplations.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

The random ramblings, musings, and ponderings of a jesus freak. Monday, October 15, 2007. Whether there will be a warm place to sleep come nightfall. The story of Job keeps coming to mind. He lost everything he owned and everyone he loved and still he didn't curse God. How did he do it? Where does faith like that come from? A faith so unshakeable. So firm. Would my own faith withstand such weathering? How do I surrender everything I own and everyone I love, holding them out to God with my arms wide open,...

CROSSeyed contemplations: July 2009

http://crosseyedcontemplations.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

The random ramblings, musings, and ponderings of a jesus freak. Friday, July 3, 2009. Yesterday our family was told that we would have 48 hours left with my grandpa. My mom held his hand as he lay frail, shriveled, and unresponsive in a bed at a North Carolina nursing home. But then in the dark, early hours of this morning, Grandpa went home to be with Jesus. Our family is now left with 48 hours to plan his memorial service. It was the most tender experience I have ever shared with my grandfather. My han...

CROSSeyed contemplations: from muddy to majestic

http://crosseyedcontemplations.blogspot.com/2008/05/from-muddy-to-majestic.html

The random ramblings, musings, and ponderings of a jesus freak. Friday, May 16, 2008. From muddy to majestic. I said, "Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest - I would flee far away and stay in the desert; I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm." Psalm 55:6-8. And so how is it that we are to endure in the midst of suffering? My devotional book reminded me today. Posted by Dan and Jill. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Let us fix our. Jesus, Th...

CROSSeyed contemplations: October 2008

http://crosseyedcontemplations.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

The random ramblings, musings, and ponderings of a jesus freak. Tuesday, October 7, 2008. The beginning or the end? Tonight was the last meeting of a church ministry that has been my home away from home for the last four years or so. It was a night of reminiscing, remembering, smiling and laughing, crying, hugging, thanking, and recognizing. It was our last meeting as a group, but was it the end of an era.or a new beginning? I finally visited Revolution. I felt uncomfortable, out of place, and isolat...

CROSSeyed contemplations: gravity

http://crosseyedcontemplations.blogspot.com/2008/03/gravity.html

The random ramblings, musings, and ponderings of a jesus freak. Friday, March 21, 2008. Something always brings me back to you. It never takes too long. No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone. You hold me without touch. You keep me without chains. I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain. Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity. But you're on to me and all over me. Posted by Dan and Jill.

CROSSeyed contemplations: January 2008

http://crosseyedcontemplations.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

The random ramblings, musings, and ponderings of a jesus freak. Wednesday, January 23, 2008. Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. (Proverbs 4:25). Growing up, I took ballet lessons. I instantly fell in love with the dance as a kid. I mean, I LOVED it! The same is true with our faith. If we don't keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, we're bound to end up in a heap of trouble and there’s not so much giggling in that heap! Life The change begins with obedience. I might be too old f...

CROSSeyed contemplations: September 2008

http://crosseyedcontemplations.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

The random ramblings, musings, and ponderings of a jesus freak. Wednesday, September 17, 2008. You have too many men for me to deliver Midian into their hands. Judges 7:2. I have always loved the story of Gideon in the Bible. It's truly remarkable to see how God delivers His people in the least expected ways! The devotional went on to give a powerful charge to let my vulnerability be the occasion for God's power. Yea Easier said than done. The tough part is, He often doesn't. I, in my human flesh, am so ...

CROSSeyed contemplations: leavin' on a jet plane

http://crosseyedcontemplations.blogspot.com/2008/02/leavin-on-jet-plane.html

The random ramblings, musings, and ponderings of a jesus freak. Saturday, February 2, 2008. Leavin' on a jet plane. Well, I’m sitting here ready for a new chapter. I’m determined to make a fresh start for myself. In some ways I’m still trying to figure out what exactly I want to read when I look back on this chapter some day down the road. From Ski Trip 2008. My diet coke just got here. Note to self: no more diet coke. The new me still doesn’t like it. Today I’m making a commitment to God and to my...
