I am sorry to say, humanity is a huge, black hole of need. On our own, we are nothing but a sucking vortex of need. But God calls us out to save us.

For years I have worked to accept my life in its entirety. By nature it's not in us to embrace our story. Acquiesce to it maybe but receive it…not so much.

Not a single time did the Lord excuse a sinner because of their circumstances. He had grace but never excuse. There's no get out of jail free pass because of circumstances.

How can I call the most tormenting “thing” in my life a blessing rather than a curse? Oh, I feel like I have an answer from the Spirit and this sheds such a light on my soul and my life.

During our recent server transfer to a new host I saw a principle of life that I experience daily. It’s not easy to live out. Living life listening not knowing.

“Hey, I am going to remodel my house while I am preparing for my daughter’s wedding!” Yes, anxiety is a focus problem.

To “lean” is to go completely empty, looking for His filling. Coming with NO opinions, no thoughts and no strength.

The Lord is looking for an eradication of any fear, doubt, worries and anxiety. He wants me to live leaning.

Faith is to live listening to His voice in every moment of my life. It's like I'm to live with my ear against Jesus' chest, so I can hear His very heart about my life.

Our God is the Lord of all adversity. I thought adversities were obstacles in the way of my pursuit of God. Could they all be in place to shepherd me?

When we're faced with a circumstance beyond our experience and understanding, do we truly believe that God will give us everything we need to face it?

When my ability to wait patiently on the Lord dissolves into ‘WHERE ARE YOU ALREADY?!’ then I’ve exposed exactly what my heart condition really is.
