Fast Forward Button on Thoughts = snippets
the strikes come through breaches not the front door. freedom not slavery. prayer not whimpy but grand, believing and waiting in expectation. strength will arise as we wait upon the Lord. on fire in love. the comprehenders too far away, porque. patience for the ones everyone loves to love. rid me of myself. use this broken vessel. radical. crazy. extreme. think on these things - Phil 4. arms high and heart abandoned. refine.

I want only
I have a hard time sitting and watching any type of movie or tv now. (For many reasons but...) the questioned was proposed to me once in the form of a story:
Some family members were at a theater watching a play when at intermission the dad leaned over to his mother in-law and asked, "What do you think of the show?"
she replied,"Oh I don't want to be here."
shocked he asked, "why?"
"I don't want to be here if Jesus were to come back."
...some people may say that "that is an extreme." but that's when I say really is it? Are we not always suppose to be living in light of eternity? Jesus is coming back and no one knows the time only the Father therefore should we not always be living as though He were coming? So if this is the extreme then, I want to be extreme. I'm done being bored and choosing something that has no eternal consequences. Why not spend that time on my face praying, reaching out to the untouchables, to the ones that hide behind "perfect"....I want only Christ and to be about the things He is about. Oh I speak these words and Father help me to put them to action because this is truly the cry of my heart.

Scales and Warm Water
How does one convey the brokenness to a world that seems to have their eyes shut and to those who are warm? Jesus give me your love, frankness, steadfastness, and timing.

Bring on the Cliffs
Alright. I'm ready. I'm dropping all and I'm sprinting this race. If there is a cliff and I'm going to jump even though I'm blindfolded. I'm going. I hate running but I'm sprinting. I dislike, rather strongly, not knowing what is going on but You said go so I am sprinting blindfoldedly. Keep your promise Jesus and stay with me always until the very end of the age. (Matt. 28:20)
