K.C. ya'll

got to get away to the kansas city this weekend. man-so good for my soul. not that k.c. really has anything to offer me all by itself. but i realize that my eyes often need new things to look at. and often i need time to just strole in a city i don't know.

sometimes i really do think that the world i live in is the only one that exists.

i was surrounded by 15,000 jesus loving women for 2 days in one big building. it does something to you. i have no idea how to put that into words.

basically i rededicated my life to Christ. i saw this woman, beth moore, shake the cage of an irrelevant God and let Him speak what she calls a 'now word'. i decided that this oppurtunity to worship a God who speaks to us where we are NOW is a God worth spending my whole life getting to know.

and all the details just fade...

and that thing-death-she challenged us to figure out why we're so afraid of it. and what's the deal with all this fear? paul believed he'd already died. i think that would be a lot less stressful.

she challenged us to commit this following verse to memory-it's already shown itself useful. i think i might do this more.

the Lord God is my strength.
my personal bravery, my invinsible army.
he makes my feet like hinds' feet and makes me to walk
[not to stand still in terror, but to walk]
and make spiritual progress upon my high places
[of trouble, suffering & responsibility]

Habakkuk 3:19
