God of Enough

God of Enough
He is the God of enough for my today!
As I have been seeking the Lord a bit about my future all i keep hearing Him say is, "I am the God of enough for today." I feel as though He keeps asking me, "Do you have a place to sleep and food to eat and water to drink and clothes to wear?" My reply is always, "Yes." Then He says, "What are you worried about, I am the God of enough for your today."
A simple life
"Live simple so others may simply live."
Three years ago when i was in Mexico I felt God call me to missions and a simple life.
He opened my eyes to see the simplicity of life and ever since i have not required much and have chosen to live as simply as possible.
Someone once said to me that my life was ideal, because I do missions work and God uses others to provide for my needs and I get to do a bunch of random things in a day and travel the world. That is all true, but it all comes with a price and letting go. You see I have to be ok with how my Father has chosen to take care of me and trust Him. I have to be ok with a bag of food from the soup kitchen if He has chosen to feed me that way for the week and I have to be ok with clothes from the Goodwill Store if He has chosen to clothe me that way. I have to be ok with living in community and with 17 people and at times share one bathroom with lots of girls. I have to trust that the money will be there to pay my bills, even if it is on the last day. I must say I have come to be ok with all the random ways He has chosen to provide and He always does provide. My life has not lacked and I have gotten to travel and meet lots of amazing people and see God work.
So, I guess my life is ideal and the cost is ok, because
He is the God of Enough.
He is the God who has paid the cost.
He is the God of Enough for my today.
How about you?

Thinking about Hope

hope - a feeling that what is wanted is likely to happen; desire accompanied by expectation

the hope...

Hope is a fragile thread,
separating these few
rescued children from
the vast numbers
irreparably destroyed
by the sex industry. But
hope exists, nonetheless.
The few will become
the many, the many will
become the millions.
The children will dance,
not in response to the
customers demand, but
in the simple celebration
of freedom. -JFCI

hope is found in Psalm 27 1-3 written on a wall in a brothel in Thialand

hope is found written on a necklace worn by a man in line for a free bag of food at the soup kitchen.

hope is found in a smile on the face of a woman sitting in a wheel chair in New York City with a cup in her hand asking for money, because a stranger took time to ask her name and tell her it was a pretty name

hope is the thought that God is in control

hope is for all

as i prayed this morning and was overwhelmed by all that is going on in the world and in the lives of the people i know and all the change that is taking place in my life i thought of one thing i and we always have HOPE and it is in God, Father, Lord, Savior, and Holy Spirit

HOPE

Letting Go

Letting Go

It is in midst of letting go i have hope to find Him and in finding Him I find myself.
A time of facing myself and finding myself
A time of letting go of myself in total abandonment to my God
In abandonment I find Freedom
The naked truth
Accepting His unconditional love for me
Accepting His grace and mercy
Accepting His love
Accepting I have to let go and in letting go I find Him and in Him I find myself.
So, I let go and trust

Constant One

MY CONSTANT ONE

When no one else will stop or make time you stop
You are

My CONSTANT ONE

When I was little and there was STUFF going on
He stopped for me

My CONSTANT ONE

When I cried myself to sleep and cried out to Him
He stopped for me

My CONSTANT ONE

When I asked Him into my heart
He stopped for me

My CONSTANT ONE

When I made wrong choices
He stopped for me and forgave me

My CONSTANT ONE

When I made right choices
He stopped for me and joyed with me

My CONSTANT ONE

When I gave up and gave Him my life
He stopped for me

My CONSTANT ONE

He always makes time for me
He always stops for me
He was and is and will always be

My CONSTANT ONE

When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
Jesus STOPPED and said, "Call him." Mark 10:47-49

Worth

"Startled by the extravagant love of God, they do not require success, fame, wealth, or power to validate their worth." Brennan Manning
I read this quote in the book The Vow by Pete Greig. I really liked it, but I was also convicted a bit. I was convicted because more often then not I look to people or work to validate my worth. At times I have been "startled by the extravagant love of God" and find my worth validated by Him. I want to live from the place where my worth comes form being loved by God and loving Him. Being know by Him and knowing Him. Intimately!
Who or what validates your worth?

about a girl

about a girl
a girl can be one way on the outside,
and another way on the inside
but, i think it's what's underneath that
really counts
a sense of place
life on a distant edge
have you met life today?
call her by name
pure
beauty
joy
may promote feelings
burning curiosity
hope, triumph, and the miracle
specially designed
follow your heart
she's not just my daughter
she's my hero
finally finding a sport she likes:
priceless
valuing the invaluable
get involved
share moments share life
soul
peace-loving people
adversity is not an adequate deterrent
for life
the transformation revolution
generations
ALIVE

These are words i cut out of magazines and put together. l love words and the power they have.
