The pieces

Listen God!

Please pay attention!

Can you make sense of these ramblings, my groans and my cries?

King-God, I need your help! Every morning you'll hear me at it again. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on your altar and watch for the fire to descend.          

Psalm 5:1-3 MSG

What Kind of Wonder

I see that word
Twice now On the back of a cab As I’m driving around this busy place.
Might have even been a year ago
When I first saw that same cab Maybe he lives near me Or maybe You’re trying to remind me of something
There are two types of wonder
Sometimes you wonder Wonder how it will all work out Wonder if you make the right decisions Focused on the right things Wonder if there is time for this or that

I will lead him
in a good path
a smooth path.
I will carry him to sure ground

Follow in my steps
or walk beside me.

Either way.

I can hear the Holy Spirit whisper to me as I'm whispering to the pug. 

Abide.
In.
Me.









As for you, let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father...As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. …
