Fall-en cleaning

I found this as I was cleaning out my jumpdrive. It's amazing that I found it today, today saw me start my first day at Project 1:17 as part of the leadership staff, my title, Spiritual Formation & Program Coordinator, much more me than billing and filing. I'll miss the faces of those precious to me who are still at THQ.

"Today I made my bi-monthly pilgrimage to the Project 1:17 website. After reading the testimonies of those who are part of this year’s class; and counseling myself away from the paranoia that regularly attacks me; telling myself that there is no hierarchy in the family of God; that there is no position available other than “Child of God.” They are good ones this year, gotta tell you!

God has been very loud to my friends and I. He is calling us into different ministries – some of us He is being so ridiculously loud, that it could be very scary if it were not for the fact that we know He has our best interests at heart. I have no idea what to make of the whole thing; even someone who psychoanalyzes as much as me cannot make sense of it all; which is killing me!

Being back at the Project site brought the signature verse back to mind; I was sitting staring at the screen and there it was.

“Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed, defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.” ISAIAH 1:17

I bet He is pleased with Himself! He should be; he gave me the smack down!"

God showed me reality that day, and He showed me reality today. The learning to do right it tough, even painful. We all want justice for others who wrong us, but shy away from justice for ourselves. Encouraging people is probably the easiest part of that verse, we can all give lip service, but can we all be faithful in encouraging others in prayer? What I know of the family of God is that there is no-one who is fatherless, for we all have the Father, it just requires those who have that knowledge to share it.

I just felt like I should share this today given God's timing; He crackss me up so He does.

But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.

I finally have my vacation pictures up! Only 3 weeks later, sorry Lynsey-kin-Rodgers! Please feel free to wander the flickr site. For those who do not have flickr, seriously, give it a whirl, it's a smashing wee site.

Life has the way of getting in the road of life. To update you all on my life I should tell you that I am no longer making the trip back to Scotland. (Well, I will be going back, but not for good, at least not anytime soon.) It is very bittersweet, but I feel that it is what the Lord has for me. He has repeatedly smashed through any issue that has been holding me back from staying and assured me of His faithfullness. (I wish I had the wee Beth Moore accent going, 'cause I'd give you the full, "I'm Believing God!" complete with actions! Minus the big hair!) My new job will be at the School for Officer Training, (no jokes please,) where I'll be working for Project 1:17; my title, Spiritual Formation and Program Co-ordinator. It's funny how God works, I gotta tell you! I'll be back at the school, as someone said, "forming spirits." The adventure continues...

Real Fact #143

"Q" is the only letter in the alphabet not appearing in the name of any U.S. state.

I changed my answer on the question that I was a wee bit undecided on, and I still got this city!

You Are Boston

Both modern and old school, you never forget your roots. Well educated and a little snobby, you demand the best. And quite frankly, you think you are the best. Famous people from the Boston area: Conan O'Brien, Ben Affleck, New Kids on the Block

What American City Are You?

Good job, it is the one I feel most at home in! Helped me make a VERY important decision in my life... it's the Sox all the way baby!
