The Call of Abram

1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.
2 "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.

When I was in college this passage inspired me to leave the church that I was serving at to serve at this smaller church that asked me to come and help them. I'll save my story for another time. But I am reminded of how sovereign God is. He wants the best for our lives.

That's why we must pray as a church during these next few months as we search for our new Pastor. Pray for God's lead during this whole process. As he prepared Abram to go to a foreign place and become the father of a great nation, He is preparing someone right now to come to our church and lead us. Let's ask God to bring us someone excellent because He will.

(Apologies if I offended anyone with the first liner.)

random question for you all:

If you ask someone a question, perhaps in regards to asking for something that person has or just simply asking something for it in return, whatever "IT" may be, how persistent can you be if that person says, "no" but you'd still want it from them, before you look like a complete dork.?

=D any words of wisdom much appreciated! sorry for the ambiguity. hehe

I still Believe

Scattered words and empty thoughts
Seem to pour from my heart
I've never felt so torn before
Seems I don't know where to start
But its now that I feel your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain

I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe

Though the questions still fog up my mind
With promises I still seem to bear
Even when answers slowly unwind
It's my heart I see you prepare
But its now, that I feel, your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain

I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe

Well the only place I can go is into your arms
Where I throw to you my feeble prayers well in brokeness
I can see that this was your will for me
Help me to know that you are near

I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe
