Revelation

I was doing some listening and reading the other day and was thinking about commitment.
I was thinking about the things that I have wanted to commit to in my life-- and how successful I have been..
I continued to dwell on this and realized:

"To commit is to be faithful."

Give it a thought.
It was a revelation for me.

Deep Peace.

Salvation Spring Up From The Ground

Tonight I had some good reading time and listening to the LORD.
Lately I have really felt such a urge to pray for my co-workers. I guess since working with all of them and realizing what great people they are I want them to know their creator.. to walk in His Fullness-- to be provided for, to be happy, to be established and full of love.
This prayer request is rising from deep within me-- something only God could place in my spirit. I want to make sure I am a faithful servant and do what I need to do. I want to be bold where I need to be bold and wise where I need to use wisdom.
********

On another note-- while I was listening I heard "Be like a tree."
So I ask, as humbly as I can, if and when you think of me, pray that I would "be like a tree"-- rooted, strong, bearing fruit, a provider of shade, planted by living streams.
As I pray the same for you.

Deep Peace.

Concert!

I just bought some tickets for Josh and I to see Three Days Grace in concert-- I am very giddy.
It just so happens that they will be here on September 12th.. right it 'lil 'ol London Ontario-- and we're invited.
I've been diggin' their music lately and am really looking forward to getting into a concert-- I haven't really been to many..
Nice.

On another note, I woke up early this morning to Riley (our male cat), standing on his hind legs on the top of our T.V. cabinet staring at the ceiling-- he found it-- a NASTY centiped (or how ever you spell it.. I shouldn't know how to spell it, even the word is sick..)!!! ON THE CEILING? What was this thing thinking?!
So right away I ask Josh to get up and kill it. Mind you, it is 4:30 in the morning and Josh isn't too thrilled about waking up to a nervous wife, anxious cat, and icky bug.
He went to smash it and the darn little bugger wouldn't die.. it fell to the ground, where it should have been in the first place, and scurried away-- I'm sure with a few broken legs. Shucks they've got enough any way.

All I am saying it better have run off and died.
Yeah, so that's all I have to share with you.

Peace.

Act as an example.

Lately I have really had the opportunity to be an example through my actions.
After all, Jesus was an example through his actions.

Think of was to encourage people through your actions-- and not asking for anything in return.

Deep Peace.

Yarboochies.

Just had Kirsten here for a visit. What a blessing to have her here. I believe she helped spur us on to walk in Fullness-- and it is always great to see family.

So as many of you may already know I have been working at Starbucks for about a month no-- I really enjoy it.
I keep telling everyone that it has been a while since I have had a job where I enjoy waking up in the morning to go to.
The people that I work with are lovely-- there is a good sense of community and encouragement.
I think there is a lot for me to look at in the way Starbucks is run, and learn a lot from.

I am also developing a heart to see my co-workers saved. I realize how great these people are and long to see then run in fullness. Let it be.
I think that is God's intention on seeing us take jobs outside of the church-- that we would long to see beautiful people saved.

That's all for now.
Deep Peace.
