Hebrews 1:3 – Jesus is the exact representation or exact "Stamp" of who God is.  His very WORD "carries" the universe or all things.

how can i even pretend to understand Jesus?  who am i that HE should even think of me?  yet i constantly roam around acting as though I am important.  MY word cannot carry the universe.  in fact, i can’t even get my kid to stop crying. 

a few weeks ago @ #CraveLife, the worship band introduced me to a song by Addison Road called “What do I know of Holy”.  If you haven’t heard it, you should definitely check it out.  the song talks about the distance felt by an ordinary person compared to a Holy & Perfect God.  it does a really good job of articulating how disconnected and small we can feel.

sure am glad for the latter part of Heb 1:14

i’ve been wanting to blog for a long time.  i just keep struggling about what i want to write about.

i’ve had this blog for about 6 months but i have been very inconsistent.  heck, inconsistency seems to be one of the things i’m good at.  my spiritual life is very much the same way.  sure there are moments when  i am close to God, when i’m “spiritual”.  however,  i’d have to say that on the whole, it seems much more like i fail to grasp what Jesus is trying to teach me most of the time.

carving out time to spend with Jesus is one of the hardest things for me (as it is for a lot of us…).  so i figured i might let these two areas of my life intersect for a while.

i’m not naive enough to think writing will help me clean up my spiritual life or even make my walk more consistent, but maybe this experience will help me learn a little…

is the day. October 11, 2009. my first day @ Heart of Mesa. i am very excited to jump in and get to know these students.

up till now i’ve had a few people that i REALLY know with me every time i’ve met with the students. today some of those people are out of town (note to self: fall break might not be the best time to start a new ministry.) today two of those people will be gone. today, there will only be one student that i’ve known for more than a year. almost everyone else has been an acquaintance if i knew them at all.

there are so many possibilities just waiting in this group. so many things i want to get done.

i pray the gang over @ CVBC has a good sunday and are ready to see what the Lord has for them today. danyelle, doug, bruce, theresa are all super terrific leaders and i know that God has uniquely gifted them and made them able for such a transition.

today is a good day. God gave us this day so that we might worship Him! everyone have a great sunday.
