Knowledge
No one can know. Know what lies behind these eyes.
Know the depth of emotion that lies beneath the surface.
No one would want to know. Know the scars that have yet to heal.
Know the battle that every single day holds.
No one knows. No one wants to know.
Except He who knows all.
He knows.
And that's all I need to know.
Know the depth of emotion that lies beneath the surface.
No one would want to know. Know the scars that have yet to heal.
Know the battle that every single day holds.
No one knows. No one wants to know.
Except He who knows all.
He knows.
And that's all I need to know.
Fellowship of the Unashamed
"I am a part of the fellowship of the Unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit Power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.
My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won't give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I've preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes.
And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My colors will be clear for "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.." (Romans 1:16)"

Burn out...
A paradox- I'm tired and want to go to bed. I'm tired, but I have a paper to write. I'm tired and so I'm working inefficiently. I'm tired, so if I go to sleep, I won't wake up in time to finish my paper before class tomorrow.
Death.
What to do?
Pull an all-nighter to do just a few hours of work?
Go to bed and hope I'll get up in enough time?
Go to bed and not get it done?

Crunchtime
Alright, outline. I've got 3 hours to make you into an actual essay. Resistance is futile. I have coffee and a bagel. You're going to get written, and you're going to like it.

More feminism
This one goes out to Athaliah (2 Kings 11). No reason in particular, other than I spent most of last night analyzing her from a feminist perspective. Crazy woman.
