Some things that are on my mind

1) God, You know what I need
2) There is joy to not living (dying to self) and allowing You to take 100% of the wheel of my life. I'm too much of a chicken to face the world
3) Failure come and go, but it is in Your joy and wisdom to carry me through suffering to know Your love is unchanged.. down to the broken crevices of my heart
4) Success belongs to You and THAT in itself is BEAUTY because I'm so broken.

this exemplifies ex sola gratia

truly, this world is run by grace alone

"Without You" by Jordan Marcotte

I was like a house built upon the shifting sand,
unstable you could call me a wavering man,
with no hope and no home I felt all alone,
constantly living in fear of the raging storm-

Without You my life would be shaken,
without You my life would be taken,
Anchor of my soul, Anchor of my soul,
I will not be moved-

Your ear was inclined when You heard my cry,
Your hand was extended to a swallowed up guy,
my pride was my life and my only sure thing,
but sure things don’t last long when the strength is Your own-

Chief Cornerstone You’re strong enough You stand alone,
I will not reject You like the builders did in the days of old, I’m leaning on-
When everything around you is shaking and everything around you is moved, what do you do?
You stand, you believe, you trust and you lean, on the rock that is higher-
You are my hope-

feeling flimsy today

"My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame;
But wholly lean on Jesus' name;
On Christ the solid rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand."

Hunt

It is the glory of God to conceal things,
but the glory of kings is to search things out.
Proverbs 25:2

Things taste better when you find them, right?
