Please pray for me, as I am having trouble not feeling unloving contempt towards many people these days.
Thanks.

Rocks in River Places
I know this is something I go through waves of. Some days, it's easy to see the river, other days, only the rocks.
This weekend was a mix of both, this morning at work was all rocks, and now I'm back in the upswing to the river! :)

Hands
"God asks for my hands. Lord Jesus, here they are. Cleanse them and keep them clean for Thy use today."
And every day.
And every day.

One Month
Oh dear... I slacked for a month...
Well, lets see if I can get back on track a little for July!
What types of things should you do, and what do you do, to prepare to meet God? How can you make steps to get closer to what you would like to be doing?
My time in the woods sort of rekindled my dying flame. I feel that being surrounded by ugly man-made things all the time, it's easy to lose the hints of God in nature.
Romans 1:20 says "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
So for me, getting back to what He made, rather than what man made, helped soothe something in me. As we learned about the healing power of plants, and the fun tastes of others, we were reminded of His plan. WEEDS, of all things! Things that grow in abundance, need little knowledge or care to proliferate, are full of things to help our liver, our rashes, and purify our blood! And we are taught to throw dangerous chemicals on them, and glare when they take over the lawn. And anise and wood sorrell - plants that Dave has been calling "God's candy" because of the flavor.
Nature is one of the loudest proclaimers of God for me, and trying to get back to Him would be a good first step for me.
