None can keep alive his own soul...

"In order to preserve our spirits, we must have food continually from above and visitations from the Lord. We do not find life in ourselves, but in our Lord. Apart from Him, we could not exist spiritually, even for a moment. We cannot keep our own souls alive through any grace of our own."

I believe this passage is a statement of death. To say that I can no longer help myself, is the very end of me. And the hope is that Jesus is on the other end. The thoughts of this world scream that if you come to the end of yourself you will die. Which is true. But, Jesus didn't end the statement there.

If you want to find life you must loose it.
If you abide in me, you will find life.

Have you ever had a day were you find yourself wanting more visitations from the Lord? If I can't find life in myself, if there is no good thing in and of myself and life is only found in His Glory, His Goodness...How can I loose more of my life?

"If we are right in our hearts, we will honor Him more and more every day, as we more and more perceive our indebtedness to Him. He is our daily bread on which we feed continually, and the living water of which we drink continually."

Let us loose a little more today.

Life Changes

So Andy and I got married. We got married!?!? And the best word that I can come up with these days is "REST". You really don't realize how much you are in your brain before you get married. Even though Andy and I were really happy and in love with each other, there are still these survivor got to watch out for myself thoughts that plagued both our minds. But then the big day came, we made the choice of each other in front of all our friends.---------------- and then we slept and slept and slept. We slept for days for many reasons, one because of all the fun planning you have to undertake for your whole engagement, and then second, because we had finally make the final choice.

Jesus has truly blessed us these days. With Andy's new job, living next to the Smiths,(which is fun on so many levels, but mainly for me getting to see Graham on a regular bases has worked some cool things in my heart. Jesus has been taking me on a long road of his heart for me and he has used Graham in the process. Though you can't rely on the affection of a toddler, when Graham gets really happy to play with me, the Lord has been showing me how excited He is to play with me. Long side note!)

Fun travels are ahead. 26 years single. 6 weeks married.
