Don't wander in your ways.
She gives no thought to the way of life; her paths wander aimlessly, but she does not know it. -Proverbs 5:6
If we waver in our commitment to God’s design for sex only within marriage by allowing little compromises OR by seeking to adapt the Word to suit our circumstances… we are flirting with wandering ways.
Know and desire God’s plan for marriage.

Humility notes
Thought: It’s possible to admire humility while remaining proud ourselves.
There must be purposeful application of truth.
In every step of our Christian growth and maturity, and throughout every aspect of our Christian obedience and service, our greatest foe is pride and our greatest ally is humility. —John Stott

Christ is All.
O Lord to the uttermost…
May I read the meltings of thy heart to me in the manger of thy birth in the garden of thy agony, in the cross of thy suffering, in the tomb of thy resurrection, in the heaven of thy intercession.
Bold in this thought I defy my adversary, tread down his temptations, resist his schemings, renouce the world, am valient for truth.
Deepen in me a sense of my...

"Bata."
My dad always says this to my mom & I never thought much about it until tonight.
He would say this to her whenever she leaves the house to go to work, whenever she calls to say she’s on her way home from work, or whenever she just leaves the house in general. I don’t know, he just always says it whenever he’s ending the conversation with my mom.
Tonight, my mom left to go...
Still, my soul, be still Do not forsake The Truth you learned in the beginning Wait upon the Lord And hope will rise as stars appear when day is dimming
God, You are my God and I will trust in You and not be shaken Lord of peace, renew A steadfast spirit within me To rest in You alone.

Christ the Word
“My Father…
My sin is not so much this or that particular evil, but my continual separation, disunion, distance from thee, and having a loose spirit towards thee.
But thou hast given me a present, Jesus thy Son, as Mediator between thyself and my soul, as middle-man who in a pit holds both him below and him above for only he can span the chasm breached by sin, and satisfy divine...

WatchI was cleaning out my webcam library & found this again.
LOLL. Cracks me up every. time.
My dad’s hilarious :)
(&Yes, it’s meant to be this short. He wanted to take a picture but he ended up recording himself instead. LOL)
Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. -Hebrews 3:12-14 (ESV)
I was doing my...

Valley of Vision
Segment of “God the All”
I can of myself do nothing to glorify thy blessed name, but I can through grace cheerfully surrender soul and body to thee,
I know that thou art the author and finisher of faith, that the whole work of redemption is thine alone, that every good work or thought found in me is the effect of thy power and grace, that thy sole motive in working in me to will and...

The Goodness of God

The LORD is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made. —-Psalm 145:9

I miss my best friend/sister-in-Christ
I look to you, O Lord, my refuge and my strength...
Oh, man. You're a tricky one.
Planning to wait until we drove up to the building and then break the news to me. PSH. Good thing I asked you before we met up or else I would have been a mess by the time we got there. You would have gotten a beating from me, foreal. How dare you! Ugh! I probably would have taken you back home if I found out right then and there. I was ready to talk you out of it while we were on the phone..
