"There are things we can do
But from the things that work there are only two
And from the two that we choose to do
Peace will win
And fear will lose
There’s faith and there’s sleep
We need to pick one please because
Faith is to be awake
And to be awake is for us to think
And for us to think is to be alive
And I will try with every rhyme
To come across like I am dying
To let you know you need to try to think"
- Car Radio by Twenty One Pilots
"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings."
- (NIV) Proverbs 25:2
Musical Musing
The trend this month has been:
Morning: Capital Kings and Mandisa
Afternoon: Twenty One Pilots or Les Mis Soundtrack
Evening: Bethel worship
Yeah, I have an eclectic taste in music.
His Plans, My Plans
“May all your expectations be frustrated…May all your plans be thwarted…May all your desires be withered into nothingness…so that you may experience the powerlessness and poverty of a child and sing, dance, and trust in the love of God who is Father, Son, and Spirit. Amen.” - Brennan Manning
I am done planning my life any more than a day at a time. Every time I attempt to make plans for life that go beyond the current year, heck even the current week, God reminds me that I am not the one in control.
I do acknowledge that His thoughts are higher than my thoughts, and His ways higher than my ways. I know that He makes all things work together for the good of those who love Him. I just get frustrated, especially when I get excited about one of my plans, and then go blab it to all of my friends; only to have God redirect my path soon after. I want to surrender every plan, desire, and thought to the Lord so that He can use me according to His good, perfect, and pleasing will.
Anima Christi
“Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
Oh good Jesus, hear me,
Within your wounds hide me,
Suffer me not to be separated from you.
From the malicious enemy, defend me.
In the hour of my death, call me,
and bid me come to you.
That with your saints, I may praise you, forever and ever,
Amen.”
Thanks to my brother, David, for sharing this prayer with me.
