Counting the 1300s

Earnestly by Tommy Walker 

This is eternal life that we can know
The God who carved out worlds unknown
That through His son He bids us come
Come and know His love
This is eternal life that we can seek
The God who meets our deepest need
Our hearts are restless ‘til we find
Our rest in this great King

Earnestly, desperately
We will follow hard to know You, Lord
This is eternal life that we can know
The God who shed His blood for us
With grateful hearts we stand in awe
And long to make Him known

There is a fire burning in our hearts
To truly know You as You are
So we will be the ones, the ones who never stop
Pursuing You and Your great love

We want to know, we want to know
We want to know You Lord and
We want to seek, we want to seek
We want to seek You Lord and
We want to find, we want to find
We want to find You Lord in
All of Your beauty and glory Lord

1301.  lunch with a sister and how she brightened my day!
1302.  the power of warfare prayer - thank you, Jesus!
1303.  worship that brings tears because I've met with Him
1304.  this pilgrimage - learning how much he loves me and better yet, how to receive His love.
1305.  the elder boy love praying on the armor of God before sleep
1306.  the wee one telling jokes
1307.  hugs from my husband love
1308.  customers who "sell" you without asking
1309.  an ego boost - just because
1310.  the joy of serving others and walking through life with  others
1311.  the excitement of starting Resolution For Women with 2 young ladies at the office
1312.  the excitement building for a ladies retreat
1313.  the challenges that "What Women Fear" is bringing
1314.  trusting Him more with more
1315.  watching great football games
1316.  leftovers - makes dinner really easy!
1317.  quiet ride to lunch because aunt Traci has the boys and is meeting us at the restaurant
1318.  playtime
1319.  playdates
1320.  friends who are here now
1321.  creation
1322.  big jets flying overhead making their presence known
1323.  scripture that calls for me to go deeper.

so wonderful to read your gifts here in this space. a place where we can be connected, despite schedules and time and miles (:

the joy in the receiving, the filling, the overflowing; i continue to give Him praise for this passionate pilgrimage of pursuit!

i love that you are always available to Him, and when He calls you say 'yes, Lord'
thank you for your example and your encouragement, for your Christ-likeness (:

i join you in excitement & prayers for a ladies retreat. in His grace it will be exactly as He would have it be {:

am excited to hear more about Angie's book & what He's doin' there

i close my eyes and envision the elder passionately speaking to His Father and the wee one's smile as he tells jokes that only he gets {:

what an amazing God. He alone is our reward and He considers us His inheritance, but He is LOVE and so He continues to bless us again and again. and so we count, just a fraction of His gifts, and we bring Him praise.

Love you, my Sister.
