possible bike



mine will have a basket, of course. 

with him

On my mind...

Am I spending time loving the Lord because I feel it is my duty as a Christian? Because I feel I owe Him due to some guilt-driven obligation? Or am I spending time loving the Lord because I delight in Him and know that who we are together is unique and who we are to each other, no one else or nothing else can be?

Only in Him am I set apart. Therefore, we are united and set apart - together. 

He prays for me and with me. 

He loves me because He loves me because He loves me. 

to God, regarding my brethren


forgive my complaint against my brethren.

forgive the harm i have caused, known and unbeknownst to them.

forgive my using them for the sake of myself, rather than in service to your glory and their glory in you.

forgive my demand for perfect brethren, for i am guilty of the same grievances i lament in others. 

when i chose you not, you chose me at the cost of what is most precious to you.

when they choose me not, i pray that by the testimony of the Spirit to the grace of you, my brother, my captain, my king that i may choose to love them at the cost of my pen-ultimate loves; for you, my ultimate and most precious love, will never forsake me.
