The presence of your beauty
blows me away
The clouds you orchestrate
the sky stroked in blue
The glory of light as it's breaks through rain
bowing the heavens with your peace
Eyes so deep, children you've graced me to see
with hearts so pure it cleanses the idle mind
Men have blemished the truth
taken the poor captive to richen their emptiness
Though a prince of peace
you' re the king that roars a sovereignty of defense
Your beauty is not circumstantial
your beauty it's within
It's not a a mere scene
it's not a restless emotion
It's within the very core of your majesty
your kingdom consumed with pure light
It has blinded, even sent men fallen
attempting a glimpse directly at your glory
It would destroy with a gleam
but can heal with it's shadow
When can I see you face to face
how can we stay here in nearness
Leave me not brilliance of a sun
Leave me not my radiant one

I still believe
I may not understand.
I may feel betrayed, confused, not knowing.
I will trust you my Lord.
I may not know, but I need to know you.
It's been done. Your words says it is finished.
Today I am reminded:
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
May the Lord of all the heaven and earth increase your faith today. Being sure of the hope that is in you, seeing in your hearts the great calling he has already done for you.
Jeremy Camp: I still Believe
Scattered words and empty thoughts/seem to pour from my heart
I've never felt so torn before/seems I don't know where to start
But it's now that I feel Your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain
I still believe in Your faithfulness/I still believe in Your truth
I still believe in Your Holy Word/even when I don't see,
I still believe
Though the questions still fog up my mind/ with promises I still seem to bear
even when answers slowly unwind
it's my heart I see You've prepared
But it's now that I feel Your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain
The only place I can go is into Your arms
where I throw to you my feeble prayers
In brokenness I can see that this is Your will for me
help me to know you are near
I may feel betrayed, confused, not knowing.
I will trust you my Lord.
I may not know, but I need to know you.

Food day
Looking at some previous post, it seems food may be somewhat involved in a lot of my posts. No apologies here. I like trying new and different types of food. A friend of mine asked the other day if there is any type of food I wouldn’t try. I don’ believe so. Other then shrimp crab or lobster because I am allergic to them. I do love clams and oysters.
Today is food day at work. Mexican food is the theme. I love guacamole. I mean a nacho or chip dip wouldn’t be complete with out it. As much as I eat one would think I cook or try to make things more often. I am trying to but I have encircled myself around people that do. Therefore it works out. My friends like to make stuff I love to try them. I would say, “Great fit!”
Food just has great connections with relationships too. Whether fixing a new dish with friends, another culture or with family. I believe some of the best times the disciples probably had with Jesus was when they where eating. There may be a few biblical example recorded about this concept.
We ask people to have coffee or tea. We ask them to lunch. When people are invited into homes they are asked if they want something to drink. Food can be a great icebreaker. I love the time of just chatting with friends or meeting new people. Anyone ever read “The five love Languages?” There is one for singles too. One of mine is “quality time.” I think that’s why I love this setting. The setting of sitting, walking, or just being with a friend, family and yes, my father in heaven, my god.
Father I thank you for how you made us for relationship. I thank you for my friends, family, co-workers, and the many faces in the nations.
I thank you that as you are lifted up all men and women are drawn to you.
May we drink and eat of eternally things today. May we embrace the life you have given us. You are enough, be our portion, be our god.
I am off to a retreat so it may be a while for another blog. Blog you later.
