On transformations...

Tuesday, October 11, 2005
Ahhh tired I am yet a few words and thoughts are on my mind. I don't want to talk, I just want that time with God. So I read some. Got a card in the mail from a friend that had a scripture written down. I read it. Kinda cool stuff.

but right now on my mind is my willingness and want. As in how much do I want repentance? How much do I want this new life God is calling me for?

How do I feel right now? Good. I guess I can say. But knowing that things are going to go God's way not mine....I will need acceptance. Getting ready to hit a dumpy road.....this I will need God's streanth and empowerment on.

I am going to need to come to terms one I need to let go of the things I want that are dragging me down. I am going to have to become more accepting of God's will and accepting the things I do not know or understand. And will also have to learn to work with others, bring community into my life more so than I am. I cannot do this alone, so I will need to start down a deeper journey than the one I am already on.

There are more thoughts on this, but its close to bed time...but Im thinking on God as best I can.

Meditate on the Lord, Brother Tom. Just keep him foremost in your heart and mind.

When I feel I need to get away and meditate on the Lord I do and its the best feeling ever! Whatever the bumpy road is that you are getting ready to go down, I don't know. What I do know is that I will be praying for you.

    Thy way, not mine, O lord


    Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
    However dark it be;
    Lead me by Thine own hand,
    Choose out the path for me.

    Smooth let it be or rough,
    It will be still the best;
    Winding or straight, it leads
    Right onward to Thy rest.

    I dare not choose my lot;
    I would not, if I might;
    Choose Thou for me, my God,
    So I shall walk aright.

    Take Thou my cup, and it
    With joy or sorrow fill,
    As best to Thee may seem;
    Choose Thou my good and ill.

    Choose Thou for me my friends,
    My sickness or my health;
    Choose Thou my cares for me
    My poverty or wealth.

    The kingdom that I seek
    Is Thine: so let the way
    That leads to it be Thine,
    Else I must surely stray.

    Not mine, not mine the choice
    In things or great or small;
    Be Thou my Guide, my Strength
    My Wisdom, and my All.

    ~Horatius Bonar
