Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Listen, the things you discover. And I’m laughing at myself for taking so long to try this. I was just lamenting that I will never catch up with typing up this journal. I’ve been typing on a computer and on my phone and I just tried the voice to text. Why wasn’t I using this all the time! Why?!

Huh. My grandmother has died. She was 93 years old. Truthfully, I saw her probably about 15 times in my entire life with most of that being in my adult years. The truth is that it’s hard to miss someone who never wanted to be a part of your life. She was barely a part of mom’s life.

It’s the end of the day. Thank you Yahoo for life, for health, for strength. For being able to complete a good bit of work today. Thank you for making information available and for guiding me. Let your will be done in my life.

 

TODAY’S THANKFUL TALLY

  1. Showing me not to go by a certain AC place.
  2. Provision for today.
  3. My hiking poles! They came today. I want to go hiking more and I prefer not to use an umbrella. 

 

CONFESSION: I like the gym . I don’t like all gyms, but  I like this one. You know what I don’t like? Exercising my shoulders: it’s the one set I don’t ever enjoy. It’s also the weakest part of my body so even though I don’t enjoy it I still do it. Because, it makes no sense having a strong back, biceps and legs (BTW I love leg days) and weak shoulders. That not making any sense. 

And yayyyy!! Typing just got so much easier. Now I just have to figure out which app can clean up my sketches. It’s amazing how they look so pretty on the page but when scanned you see every line out of order. Honestly I don’t mind it some, but some look so weird. It’s been a long day. I think this evening would be sermon, well study through sermon versus me studying, studying. Sigh. Don’t know if that made any sense. 

You’re Closer than You Think (Sermon)

I guess I’ll be going to bed later than I used to, but not too late.

Availability and accessibility are two different things. Sometimes our perceptions need to be changed. What can be too familiar to us we often take for granted. (Our faith can even become “common”). Sometimes we can get so comfortable with Jesus that we miss the God factor. We’re not excited or have a sense of all and we limit God when we don’t honour him.

Yahweh, sometimes I feel like a broken record when I keep saying thank you. But that’s genuinely how I feel: I am thankful. But there is a realisation that you never get tired of it.

Clearing the runway for the miracle to land:

  1. Release irrelevant questions. (For instance: What’s going to happen next? What’s this? What’s that?). If he says it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen. When we keep asking these questions, it delays the answer. It’s not my job to clean up where God has already shown up. He gave a promise, trust him to fulfil it. He is God.
  2. Restore your awe and wonder. Yahweh is so good to us that we get comfortable. We need Yahweh all the time. Stay hungry for Yahweh. Some believe in Yahweh, others depend on Yahweh.
  3. Never lack honour. We need to give the appropriate honour. (Maintain) Help us to see others right, who may be in authority over us. Yahweh wants you to “become” before he wants you to “have.”
  4. Create and live the atmosphere of faith. Yahweh has given us time to expand our faith. Our faith has to become big enough to accommodate what he wants to give us. When my faith is equal to what he promised it is manifested.

Yahweh, I don’t want to lose my awe of you, because you are an awesome God.
