I often am so busy that I don't take the time to stop and enjoy my surroundings. This week i've done just that and have been witness to some breathtaking views...

I'd also like to say that those were taken with my Droid camera phone - amazing!

Jeremiah 29: 11-14

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

Jeremiah 20:11

"But the Lord is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble; they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed"

Jeremiah 17:15

"Thus says the Lord: Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord"

Jeremiah 15-17

I've been reading but haven't had much of a chance to blog anything. So, I will just continue along with where i'm at now which is Jeremiah. I read this verse today and it really struck me...

"Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O Lord, God of hosts" - Jeremiah 15:16

Job 19-21

"I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon the earth." - Job 19:25

Job 16-18

"I also could speak like you,
if you were in my place;
I could make fine speeches against you
and shake my head at you.
But my mouth would encourage you;
comfort from my lips would bring you relief." - Job 16: 4-5

Job 13-15

"Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him." - Job 13:15

Job 10-12

"To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his. What he tears down cannot be rebuilt..." Job 12: 13-14

Job 7-9

"He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea. He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south. He performs wonders and miracles that cannot be counted." - Job 9: 8-10

Job 4-6

“When desperate people give up on God Almighty, their friends, at least, should stick with them.” - Job 6:14

I have been blessed with the most amazing group of friends who have walked through the deserts with me & have reached down to the depths to draw me back to the heart of Christ. I am forever grateful and honored for the blessing of true friendships so wonderfully graced to me by God.

Job 1-3

“…God gives, God takes.
God’s name be ever blessed.

Not once through all this did Job sin; not once did he blame God.”

(2/17/2010) Psalm 119

Grace me with your clear revelation.

I choose the true road to Somewhere,

I post your road signs at every curve and corner.”

Psalm 119: 29-30

Garden to City

I've jumped on board NCC's (National Community Church) "From Garden to City", read through the Bible in an entire year, challenge. I have a hard time absorbing and meditating on things. So i'm going to attempt to dust off this blog and utilize it to try to help me remember and understand what God is revealing to me. It started yesterday (the beginning of Lent) and will end Lent of 2011. If you are with me, great! If it's just me well then God I pray that you will dig down to the deepest parts of me and reveal all that is there and that I may grow according to your word & your will!
