And then some
Oh wow. God is good. I have my friend back and there is no residual eros. I am free /bounce.
The camp was fantastic. I met so many lovely kids of God. The Peeps is already increasing. Praying with other believers is just so wonderful.
I know you don’t agree with Piper but “Don’t waste your life” is ROCKING my world. The last time I had this massive a shift in my internal world I was seeing those aforementioned pixies. The difference is just that this is all the Spirit working and opening my eyes. I, for the first time in life, realised (as much as such a thing is possible) how AWEsome God is. Anyone who blasphemes is a fool – no – is mindbogglingly crazy. Calling upon the Creator of all things because you just heard that Betty bought a new Buick is not ok. Part of me thinks that the lightning bolt thing is appropriate but luckily God is merciful. Instead I think people should for just a split second truly understand who God is. I will eat my pink hat if they then can get up and walk away unchanged.
My world has changed. I am no longer who I used to be and it is wonderful. My spiritual genetic coding is changing.
I am so hands-in-hair sorry that I wasted 10 years of my life. There is so much wonder in this world and it is all because of Him and we are doing nothing about it. If you love anyone you should set them free and not the way the world views it. You should set them free to see the world as it really is so that they may experience the love and grace and mercy that so openly flows forth for us. Anything else is just pointless. It makes me want to shake the entire world till all you hear will be teeth rattling. Every single person I love has to find this incredible joy. There is nothing like it. NOTHING. And heaven knows I know since I’ve tried everything else.
Anyway. Bit of a tangent there.
1. Word of the day: popcorn prayer*
2. Insight of the day: I cannot function without music
3. State of the pool: so blessed it’s practically a baptismal font :)
4. Random thought: How can people like jelly beans…yuck. Artificial glow in the dark sugar pseudo veg /shudder
5. Awesomest lines: John Piper
“God created me – and you – to live with a single, all-embracing, all-transforming passion – namely, a passion to glorify God by enjoying and displaying his supreme excellence in all spheres of life.”
*ever heard of popcorn prayer? I laughed rather loudly and they only shushed me a little. What an awesome idea. The kernel of your faith is put under such pressure to speak the truth and worship JC that you literally “pop”.
