Wide Open Places

Open field image

As we’ve dug deeper into prayer, I’ve begun to notice God working more and more… I went in to speak with my Principal about some tech questions, and ended up talking about ways to work with teachers to improve technology use and about leading the 9th grade English team!  Definitely not expected!  But pretty awesome!…

Climbing the Mountain of Joy

Psalm 21:1-5 For the choir director. A Psalm of David. O LORD, in Your strength the king will be glad, And in Your salvation how greatly he will rejoice! You have given him his heart’s desire, And You have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah. For You meet him with the blessings of good things; You set a crown of fine gold on his head. He asked life of You, You gave it to him, Length of…

Blessedness

Psalm 119:2-3 Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways! The word edah is the word used for testimonies and it’s interesting that, according to the dictionary, it’s always plural and always about God’s law.  The word for keep…

The Law

Psalm 119:1 Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the LORD! Psalm 119 is one of those books that some people tend to shy away from because it’s so long (they shy away from the books in Numbers where it’s all about geneology, too).  There are 176 verses!  For…

Dealing Bountifully

Psalm 13:6 I will sing to the LORD, Because He has dealt bountifully with me. I have always loved this verse because it tells of how songs often come from the overflow of our bounty.  However this verse is hiding something (actually, it’s only hidden in English).  The part where is says “He has dealt…

Deliberate

Psalm 63:2-6 (2) Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. (3) Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips will praise You. (4) So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. (5) My soul is…

Blessings

Numbers 6:24-26 The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine on you and be gracious to you; The LORD lift His countenance upon you, And give you peace. This is the blessing that Aaron was to give the children of Israel (which, if you accept and obey Yeshua you are…

Really Quick

I was reading a note on Skip’s website regarding some of the crazy things that have happened lately – mainly that everything has broken this month (and really, it has) and has been incredibly expensive to fix (and it has to get fixed).  It’s things like that that pull at my  heart and make me…

I'm All Grown Up Now

Galations 4:7 Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you are his child, everything he has belongs to you. I don’t really have a lot to say about this verse since so much has already been said… but I really like this verse.  I like the picture of me as…
