It is natural for us to define.
We long to define so we have control.
But we lost control way back in the cool of the garden.
We lost control when we wanted control.
Now we must let go again.
Now we must not hold on.

Love was never meant to be defined.
It is undefinable.
It is beyond comprehension.
It is above intellect.
If we could define it we could be...well you know...God

God is love

Don't define it...live it.

There's always gonna be another mountain.
I'm always gonna wanna make it move.

Think 'endure hardships'
Get rid of the inner wimp in you Janine.

Faithful - Brooke Fraser

There's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave.
I wave my arms’ round about me and blow with all my might
I cannot sense You close, though I know You’re always here
But the comfort of You near is what I long for

When I can't feel You, I have learnt to reach out just the same.
When I can't hear You, I know You still hear every word I pray.
And I want You more than I want to live another day
And as I wait for You, maybe I'm made more faithful.

As I listen to this song over and over on my iPod, I just feel it connect with my soul and it seems to articulate exactly how I feel. And I find myself thanking God for people like Brooke Fraser, for a sister like her who's walked the same road, and experienced things that I may be feeling. There's comfort in knowing that she's felt the same way, and she overcame it. I really liked what she shared at Awakening 07; about growing as a christian. You can't always be a baby and expect God to spoon feed you with all the 'feelings', with understanding and insights; discipline is essential to become a disciple.

Hebrews 12:7-13

⁷Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? ⁸If you are not disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children and not true sons. ⁹Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and live! ¹⁰Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. ¹¹No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

¹²Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. ¹³"Make level paths for your feet,"so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.

When I can't feel You, I WILL learn to reach out just the same.
Let me not be a snail that withdraws into its shell whenever hardship comes along. Teach me, Lord, to endure discipline. I may not understand it now, but I know that the end will justify the pain. I think I haven't been taking discipline too well, but I'm gonna try now, whatever that means. I'm not gonna wuss out no more.

Engulfed

The fire, I cannot put out

But You.


Like never before.

Give me Your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me Your love for humanity

1. What have I done this past week that matters in light of eternity? What did I do that I will actually see the results of in Heaven?

2. What have I done this past week that will not be remembered in eternity?
