honestly

how do you feel about honesty? i for one go back and forth on the issue. there are times when i want others in my world to be completely honest with me and others when i would actually want to hear what i want, (my self confidence ebbs and flows like the ocean tide.)

it's like that in my relationship with Jesus as well. what is amazing to me is the gentleness with which he always approaches. like a parent with a cloth to clean a scraped knee.

tonight was one of those times and i think that these pictures speak louder than any words could...

coolest today

coolest thing i've seen all day...

good timing

timeline of the last four days...tell me that God isn't protecting me...

Friday night - AC breaks
Saturday morning - AC is fixed
Sunday at noon - AC breaks again
Sunday afternoon - AC is fixed...again
Sunday afternoon - Home Warranty is purchased
Monday - All is well
Tuesday at noon - AC breaks...really bad this time
Tuesday right now - thinking the home warranty was a good call.

New AC coming in just 29 days...

it's getting hot in here...

this past weekend, we fought the good fight of trying to get the AC working in our house. we got home on Friday to find that it was about 87 degrees in our house and it was too late for anyone to come out and fix anything so we slept the most uncomfortable night's sleep ever!

saturday a guy came to fix it.

yesterday we had to have someone else come and actually really really fix it.

all that to say, it was amazing to see how there was no thinking about whether or not we would have it fixed, if we had to make sacrifices, we would without any issue because we HAVE TO HAVE AC.

i wonder how much less my passion and desperation for Jesus is compared to how much i love the air conditioning in my home?

what sacrifices is He asking me to make? what excuses am i giving Him?

try un-harder

one of the biggest lies that i have ever believed was that in order to be more Godly or a better Christian i needed to TRY HARDER. this cannot be so. our culture today does a great job in keeping this going. have you been to the self help section of barnes & noble lately?

there is no way to marry the idea of self help or self improvement with walking with faith. the key i think to the christian life is not to try harder, but to give up. that's who God wants to use...those who have come to that divine point in their lives where they realize that there is no use trying to get through the sifting that this life brings about on their own.

today, i again choose to try un-harder.

fame
