...on the banks of the stormy Jordan...

i really pick the worst times to update this.
because i have work in a few minutes, thus giving myself barely enough time to write, but it may be enough.

there's this show, i don't know if it's still on, or what channel, because i've been hulu-ing it. it's called Kings.
kind of like king's academy, but with a big twist.
it's a modern day parallel to the story of David.
i don't know how this tv channel got the green light on a biblical interpretation, but they did, and i am happy for that.
anyway, in the story, David starts to see signs, signs in his life that before he would disregard.
things are going bad for the kingdom, but as David chooses to follow the God-given signs, he does well for the kingdom.

it's difficult to separate what i think is His plan versus what is just "mine."
i know a lot of us at this age really can let this topic get the best of us.
it's vital to remember Who actually does the deciding here. because it then prepares us to be ready for anything.
our life isn't our own. we made a decision to be used by Him.
not just to be used in places we are comfortable with. and not always places we have dreamed we would go.

God can do anything.

i fully believe in signs and if they are truly from the One who created me, then i wholeheartedly want to follow them. without reluctancy.

"If we've lost our faith in You, are we all forgotten too?"

the answer is a resounding NO.

"If we are faithless, He remains faithful."

signs from Him are undeniable. so, you wont miss them. promise. His perfect will WILL be done.

hope in the Lord, my friend.

on a side note, the word verification for me to leave this comment says, "sepromi"...and i think that's a cool new word. it's all about separating pepperoni.
