What I Am

Pastor James made sure I didn't suffer from myopia this Sunday. While there are some important things to be dealing with in prayer and seeking the council of God & His Spirit in prayer and through His appointed teachers and instruments, it would be wrong to solely focus on the damage that has been done. I am not the man I was before.

I am:

(Psalm 25 has been a great refuge, btw)

A daily, musical reminder via "Carry Your Love" (Caedmon's Call), slightly modified:

I am called out; I am ransomed
I am not of the world I'm in.
I am chosen; I am blessed
to bring light to the lives of men.

So, Father sow You seed;
Give me life in community;
Wake me from my sleep.
This is Your time; this is Your place.

I am a vessel for breaking.

Under Your Grace, I am led by Your Spirit.
You have redeemed me by the blood of Your Son.
Send down Your Word; I am eager to hear it.
Ready my heart to carry Your love.

You are sunlight; You are morning;
You're the hope of a brand new day.
You are comfort; You are blessing,
And You wipe all our tears away.

So change me from within;
Render miracles from my sin;
Remind me once again,
This is Your time; This is Your place.

I am a vessel for breaking.

There are also prayers for the Church & those around me and the need to get involved in the community of believers.

Tori will be doing youth activities; we'll be going to community group meetings as a family (I pray that we all will go someday); Men's prayer each Thursday morning.

It's a start...a new beginning.
