This place

I hate being in the place I’m at right now.

I can’t really expound.

The longing is just so great that sometimes I feel it will eat me up. But being here also reminds me about my weaknesses, it reminds me that no matter how hard I try and will for something to happen, it will not, that no matter how perfectly I do things I can’t prevent something from happening.

Being here reminds me of how small I am.But I am grateful to be here. Because it’s in times like this, when I realize how small and weak I am that I am also able to see clearly how great and strong God is and how it’s when I’m at my smallest that I recognize how big God’s hand is and how I fit right in it.

This song by Tim Hughes called “Everything” is my song of the moment. It’s a reminder that wherever I am in my life, one thing remains and that is the fact that God is my everything.

EVERYTHING by Tim Hughes

God in my living
There in my breathing
God in my waking
God in my sleeping

God in my resting
There in my working
God in my thinking
God in my speaking

Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything

God in my hoping
There in my dreaming
God in my watching
God in my waiting

God in my laughing
There in my weeping
God in my hurting
God in my healing

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me
the hope of glory

You are everything

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me
the hope of glory

Be my everything

Presidential Musings

Just read Pastor Steve’s blog. In it he said that he voted for Mike Huckabee. I really don’t know much about American politics but this much I do know, the guy does have a sense of humor. I was actually pretty sold on Barrack Obama before I found out he was pro-abortion (also from Pastor Steve). Blame it on Oprah. When I saw that she was backing Barrack, I immediately went and talked to everyone I knew about why Barrack Obama should be the next US President.

Just goes to show how easy it is to form an opinion and stand by it as if it were absolute truth.

When campaign season for our own country’s presidential derby rolls in, I will know better to read the papers, to really research on potential presidents, to observe the person’s track record, not just what s/he has done but what this person stands for and if his/her life reflects those convictions.

Anyone can win a debate, or at least sound smart debating. But not everyone who goes up there actually lives what s/he believes.
