"Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve.... You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love."
-- Martin Luther King, Jr

He'll make your crooked ways straight.
"God's omnipotence is always one step ahead of our incompetence." - Os Hillman
Just beautiful right?
I was just thinking a moment ago, how it seemed that for awhile now, I had forgotten why I am where I am. No, I'm not being emotional or anything of the sort, but with the refreshing that I received in the past week, dreams have been coming alive once more. Not that they'd been dead for awhile, but of late, it seemed as though they'd lacked the brightness of the past and the vibrancy of my position as a wonderful, glorious child of the Most High God had been quietly forgotten in the tides of life.
To some extent, I fretted a little about "how could I have forgotten...?" or simply, "oh man, what have I been doing - or rather, not doing with the treasures He's placed in my hands...?" But Daddy God is just so good and so loving that He listens to the every beat of my heart and every thought that runs through my head. and quite simply, He'd said "and what about it?"
That seemed to wake me up. Here I was, looking once more on the sad side of things (the flesh is just so pessimistic!), what I had or had not done again. No no no, no time is ever wasted time when its spent in His presence. So what if not everyday is so-called of dashing brightness of intensity in my eyes? That doesn't change the fact that I have a spectacular God. So I'd gotten into a routine - but who's to say i didn't enjoy the quiet beauty He'd brought before me each day even in the midst of that so-called routine? No matter where I am, He's always one step before me.
And who's to say if I'd missed anything along the way? If He wanted to show me something, I know I'd see it - because as Pastor says, His ability to speak to me can never be hindered by my inability to hear. If the Almighty God who created everything and loved me enough to send His darling, one and only Son to die for my sake wanted me to know anything - I wouldn't doubt He has the ability to MAKE IT HEARD.
He's a big big God. :)

Sing To The Lord
Proverbs 31:30
Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who worships the Lord, she shall be praised.
