Currently spinning on IPOD: Porcupine Tree - “Deadwing”
Some how I missed Porcupine Tree all these years. It was sitting on ITunes so I started listening. WOW!!! They have a new fan. Better late than never… Right?
Wendy dropped Holly off this morning to go to summer ‘church’ camp. She is really excited. This is the first time we have let her venture out with out one of us being their. Little by little she is leaving the nest. Amazing flood of emotions.
Last night, I feel was a major turn in direction for myself. After spending some time in confession and meditation… There seemed to be clarity that lined up with biblical principles and not just my own jacked up view or emotion. Different attitude and outlook. It is very cleansing when I can shed all the pretense and get honest with God and myself.
Psalms 91:1-2 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Psalms 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling.
One of the things I must come to know and live is walking with God in the purity of the relationship. Because I want to know him, and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings being made conformable unto his death. I want to be in the place where I need God more than food, water, breath, ministry, success, money, acceptance, etc.
Psalms 119:72 The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
Job 13:15 Though he slay me, I will hope in him…
