you sing to my soul,

oh you break me, you break me.

- It's only morning

Psalm 139.7-12

there's no place on earth i can hide from the wrong i've done. - mewithoutYou

in response.

"im drowning my sorrows tonight.
you should join.

if anyone talks to God,
can you please ask him why bad things happen to good people.
im really over this.
my faith is being tested. "


He says, because we live in a broken world. full of evil and broken people. He also says, he doesn't want it to happen, but people make their own desicions, without him too many times..

i hope everything turns out good for you.

psalm 73

21 When my heart was grieved 
       and my spirit embittered,

 22 I was senseless and ignorant; 
       I was a brute beast before you.

 23 Yet I am always with you; 
       you hold me by my right hand.

 24 You guide me with your counsel, 
       and afterward you will take me into glory.

 25 Whom have I in heaven but you? 
       And earth has nothing I desire besides you.

i wrote this a while back. and never published it.

it seems at times we get too concerned with how our story fits into the story of the world.

Maybe we should be concerned wtih the story of God

and how his story will shape our lives, and less concerned with our own fame.

sometimes if feel like i get too wrapped up in the impact that i am going to make.

i need to look at the impact that God is making on my life, and the lives around me

and realize that its not about me, or what i do. but what God is doing in me.

this should be the focus. not what makes me happy, or what fits into my view of what should happen.

maybe we should suck it up and quit crying about things you can't control and accept what is happening around you and ask

God where he wants you, and stop trying to force your way into a story that you are trying to create for yourself.

God is the writer and director. He knows what is best. Ask him

always

god is.

Luke 7

we made this video over the summer for Go Camp, Dustin gave the Luke 7 message this past sunday and we used this video. felt like i should share it. this was done by Jeremy Lethco, and Amy Brower is an amazing actress. you can listen to the message that goes with the video here.(it should be up soon.)

so... i applied for a job at the museum.. administrative assistant... i think.. i'll probably get it..

no benefits.. except state retirement... sweet!

plus i'd get paid to go to church.. which is pretty sweet.

seeing as i won't be able to hear anything about that job until a couple weeks.. i figured i could at least look other places for work..

so i called stronghold... they need someone for this saturday and some next week..

well they needed someone.. i went in and got my new staff shirt and updated my contact info..

working 12 to 6 this saturday.. sweet.. free climbing.. i can't wait!

God is good. he told me this morning. when i was listening to my record player. and when puddin called me.

thanks!

jay.
