Hey! Hey! What'dya say? Cubs are going all the way!!!!

About Me

This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides
And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames
And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here
And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand
All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be empited again
The seed I've recieved I will sow

Love - a tribute to 3.20.2007

The Bible mentions love like 700 (well 697) times in the Bible.  You could say that it's vital to our lives, and yet we toss the word around like it means nothing to us at all. I'm beginning...

Grace

Conviction(?): An Unraveling

Faith is dynamic rather than static.  Constantly changing.  Intentional.  It consumes every facet of life.  It shouldn't be shaped by anxiety or fear, but by an "eager attention to...

So I'm not really one of those "blog" type people, but God has been doing amazing things in, through, and inspite of me. Over the past couple of weeks, God has been making it clear to me what it means...
