Question??

What are you doing right now that requires faith?

A challenging question that I read today in Francis Chan's book: Crazy Love.

Do I live my life characterized by comfort? ugh
I have been waiting for God's leading and trusting Him for the future and trying to be content where He has me.
Waiting, waiting, and more waiting. What can I do right now while I am waiting that requires faith? umm I don't have an answer for that right now, but I know God will show me. so I'll keep you posted on that.

I might just do something crazy. . . .so watch out. :)

My God is GREATER, STRONGER, and full of POWER and NOTHING can get in His way. If I really believe this with my heart and TRUST Him fully. . . . you might just think my life is kinda crazy, stupid, weird, or not smart. But its not my life so you can think whatever you want.

It's my prayer that God will show me when and where to take a step of faith and that He brings me closer to Him, whatever it takes. . .

God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situation where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.

answered prayer

today God answer my prayer through His word.

after praying about my job and wondering if I should just quit and give my two weeks notice at work and step out in faith....

I turn to Proverbs 16 because today is the 16th of November and here is how He answered my prayer:

Commit your work to the Lord, and you plans will be established.
Proverbs 16:3

so won't be quitting anytime soon. . . .at least for now. . .i am committing my work to the Lord and the rest of my plans He will establish. :)

after all--work is God's gift to us. . . .don't believe me? read ecclesiastes 3

Empty my hands. fill up my heart. capture my mind with you...


I've got voices in my head
And they are so strong
I'm getting sick of this
Oh Lord how long
Will I be haunted by the fear that I believe
My hands like locks on cages
Of these dreams I can't set free

But if I let these dreams die
If I lay down all my wounded pride
But if I let these dreams die
Will I find that letting go lets me come alive

Empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with you

Cause these voices speak instead
whats right is wrong
And I'm giving into them
Please Lord how long
Will I be held captive by the lies I believe
my hearts in constant chaos
and it keeps me so deceived

But if I let these dreams die
If I could just lay down my dark desire
But if I let these dreams die
will I find you brought me back to life

Empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with you

Cause my mind is like a building burning down
I need your grace to keep me, keep me from the ground
My heart is just a prisoner of war
A slave to what it wants and what I'm fighting for

So wont you empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with you


I need you now Lord.

you have not known.
