I'm chewing on this today, care to join me?
"Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen."
Jude v. 24-25
Oh Lord, it is You who are able to keep me from stumbling . Not my own strength or desire, nor any system of accountability, but YOU Lord. Your Spirit within me, Your voice behind me, Your Word before me. These promises are what I cling to when the ground is shifting beneath my feet. Or rather, these are the things that lay hold of me and tarry within my soul when I begin to stray from the narrow path.
Oh, God, who am I, that I should approach the Eternal Flame? I, who was dead, dead, dead. How can I gaze into the Infinite Beauty of Holiness? But you gave me life, life, life and have brought me near. Am I really here? Is my dwelling place with the Most High God? Oh, Lord, how I long to stand in the presence of your glory. I want to be counted worthy. It is only by Your blood that I stand blameless. Washed clean and clothed with Christ.
Oh, to be with you. This is what I'm longing for. For what else could my soul yearn? There is none like you. None other so Holy, none other so Kind. None other is Worthy. Now and Forever. AMEN!
Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life. ~ {Proverbs 4:23}

A blog of my own
Somehow I've morphed over the last few months from just a proud mama showing off pictures of her firstborn into a wanna-be blogger, writing more and more about myself than I ever intended to on a blog that's supposed to be just about pictures of my baby. I've decided it's about time for me to get my own space, and get my thoughts out in the open. Not that I have anything all that eloquent to say, but by golly when eloquence comes out, this blog will be there to catch it!
