"IF HUMAN LOVE DOES NOT CARRY A MAN BEYOND HIMSELF, IT IS NOT LOVE. IF LOVE IS ALWAYS DISCREET, ALWAYS WISE, ALWAYS SENSIBLE AND CALCULATING, NEVER CARRIED BEYOND ITSELF, IT IS NOT LOVE AT ALL." Oswald Chambers
So thankful to God for my friends and family that encourage me to eat right and make wise decisions based off of scientific studies and trial and error. Very thankful for the people who have given me material to consider, videos to watch, and products to try (whole food based nutrients). In all of this I have seen such dedication. Even in this I think we could all stand to be challenged to make certain that we are looking always only to the source of our life and breath. He alone is able to take down and raise up. He alone turns water to wine. He alone provides the wine and the bread. He is still speaking, "PEACE, BE STILL" in the midst of the storms of our lives. There is only one person who has made me an offer I cannot refuse. There is only one that has gone the distance and paid the price. Only one that has gone through hell to rescue me and redeem my life. Only one that does not shrink back and speaks the truth to his own hurt. Though He has gone to pre...
"AND THEN I PROCLAIMED A FAST THERE, AT THE RIVER OF AHAVA, THAT WE MIGHT AFFLICT OURSELVES BEFORE OUR GOD, TO SEEK OF HIM A RIGHT WAY FOR US, AND FOR OUR LITTLE ONES, AND FOR ALL OUR SUBSTANCE...THE HAND OF OUR GOD IS UPON ALL THEM FOR GOOD THAT SEEK HIM; BUT HIS POWER AND WRATH IS AGAINST ALL THEM THAT FORSAKE HIM."

"Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe." Proverbs 29:25 "O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him..." Daniel 9:8-9
May the mind of Christ, my Savior, Live in me from day to day, By His love and power controlling All I do and say. May the Word of God dwell richly In my heart from hour to hour, So that all may see I triumph Only through His power. May the peace of God my Father Rule my life in everything, That I may be calm to comfort Sick and sorrowing. May the love of Jesus fill me As the waters fill the sea; Him exalting, self abasing, This is victory. May I run the race before me, Strong and brave to face the foe, Looking only unto Jesus As I onward go. May His beauty rest upon me, As I seek the lost to win, And may they forget the channel, Seeing only Him. by Kate B. Wilkinson (1913)
