Snapping out of it

I put the phone down, knowing that solitude was what was required.

Then I resume the song and quiet conversation.

At the end of what feels like a soliloquy, I start the engine and blasted to the nearest auto parts shop.

Life goes on and there were things to be done.

30 mins later with blackened hands ($70 bucks for wiper blades? I think not VW!) I had retrofitted new blades onto the windscreen and was completely and throughly distracted from my petty problems.

I remember a good sermon by Bishop Joe Garlington.

When you're unto something good, the devil's gonna resist you!

And even a 3 second review of the last few weeks, months. i've been so blessed.

And even now as I reconnect with God and begin to sing, speak and shine to the world, is there any doubt there will be resistance?

All it takes is faith of a mustard seed, and he can move my mountains.

All it takes is a single word and stormy seas clam.

Hear me you fiendish schemes and traps of grey confusion.

Hear me darkness and fear within.

I may be weak, I may be tired.

But he that is within me is greater.

You shall not overcome.

A side note.

A friend commented on my recent change of tone on my blog.

Its gotten "preachy" it seems.

I'll answer you here.

I'm climbing a mountain.

Its not easy, it gets lonely and believe me i'm tired and confused.

I do not expect you to understand.

You've always been a little... stubborn when it comes to expanding your piont of view to see it from mine.

Speaking Jesus gives me strength. Seeing his work in my life fuels my faith.

Without faith, without hope, what is the point of it all?

If you knew my Jesus, seen the things he's done for me.

Perhaps you'll see, that in the recent months in Adelaide... perhaps I've awoken.
