A form of passion?

26_158I sit here tonight and I am passionately praying. I cannot express the turmoil I feel in my heart and I do not know exactly what I’m praying for. I am passionately asking God for help because he knows exactly why I am praying. When I think about the praying I do not find myself praying passionately. Passion is a strong barely controllable emotion which is what am experiencing right now. I may be doing things like writing this blog post, listening to music, or reading a book later but my mind in not dwelling in these activities. My soul is crying out to God for help! I know God is faithful and will answer my prayer in His perfect way. What an awesome form of worship this is! I have many times taken prayer too lightly but not right now. Read more

The beautifully barbaric and blood sacrifice of Leviticus 1 and 2

When I have read the different offerings that the Lord commanded the Israelites in the past I always thought it was too violent and bloody and I never really wanted to understand it more. Oh how wrong I was. Leviticus is not just boring laws filled with sacrifices, it is a passionate account of worship. Read more

Passion of a young man, Joshua: Exodus 33 and 34

“Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses returned to the camp, his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart the tent.” Exodus 33:11 Why did Joshua not depart the tent of meeting? When Moses left the tent it states that Joshua would not depart. Is it his desire to be close to God? Did Joshua talk to God also? Is it passion to know God that motivated him? Just some questions I have. Read more

Life on the precipice

027_139I seem to always find myself in this place every time I have have a surgery or a setback where I feel trapped. I have lost my abilities to go out on my own, drive wherever and whenever I want, and workout at the gym. It is very difficult for me right now to wait. I know that God is building my faith and patience up during this time but I never enjoy it because I have to give up my will and let God lead. Letting God lead has gotten easier through all these trifle episodes I so frequently find myself aquatinted so personally with. Submitting my will and desire is difficult but I truly believe that the refinement that God is imparting is for a higher purpose. Read more

Music soothes the soul

Picture 2So tonight as I sit here having a hard time sleeping I found the perfect music to listen to. I have always loved the movie Elizabethtown. Well I have just bought two soundtracks for the movie. I am totally happy now. I figure I’ll crash sometime soon. LOL I could use some prayers for my time with God. It has been lacking the passion that I desire.
