Your Love is Strong by Jake Morgan
The journey of one young lady who seeks to see the glass half full, ponders some of the deeper things in life, laughs like there's no tomorrow, and seeks adventure like her next cup of coffee!

Burden of Change
Oh that glorious day...
...that day when you finally clean out all your spare change.
It doesn't matter if it's taking it out of your purse (or pocket...) or bringing in that change jar to the bank.
Whether it's cleaning it out with just enough to pay for your parking, getting that $40 back from the bank, or finding just enough to get laundry done for the day; you suddenly feel freer, lighter, maybe even a little bit richer.
Now think of how easy, how painless that was. What a burden you didn't even know you were carrying!
But sometimes you do.
Sometimes you do realize the burden.
You feel weighed down and like you're carrying just a little bit extra.

Week Whatever: Genesis 3
Have you ever read Genisis 3: The Account of The Curse?
I mean really read it.
Not with the tired eyes of a 26 year old Christian looking through the
lenses of the stories and memory verses over the past 25 years.
But with young baby eyes of a 25 year old through the lenses of the grace and faith?
Still yes?
Okay then, riddle me this: Who did God rebuke first?
Now stop right there!

Prayers for Trusting Sight
Today I've been doing some catch up in the book of II Kings and realized just how crazy ridiculous some of those things were. Like Elisha (aka God) turning poison soup good by just adding flour or Eisha calling down fire from heaven to kill the Isreal commander and forces coming to capture him.
Like seriously?!
However, I was struck about the tone Eisha seems to have in the miracles directly following Elijah's assessing into heaven on Chapter 1. He asks for a double portion of Elijah's gift and Elijah's response is that if Elisha sees him taken to heaven then Lord has granted his request (which He does.) However, right after Elijah "dissappears," Elisha takes Elijah's staff and says
"Where now is the Lord, God of Elijah"

What the world needs now...
Love is patient and kind; live does not envy or boast, it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its way; it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
LOVE BEARS ALL THINGS, BELIEVES ALL THINGS, HOPES ALL THINGS, ENDURES ALL THINGS. Love never ends...
faith hope and love abide, these three; but the greatest of them is love.
The Love Passage.
So typical, so chase, so overused. And yet...
I can't tell you how much it hit me!
Faith. Hope. Love.
I'm working on the faith (and trust) thing and loving the hope thing but...
