today was one of those days where God seemed to be more active than most… not implying He is less active on other days, but for some reason, today I noticed His active hand more.

great quotes
currently, one of the books I’m reading is “Secrets to Spiritual Power” from the writings of Watchman Nee.

when sins and pressure seems overwhelming
My sin seems so big to me right now. I look around and I see piles and mounds of sin. I see sin in how I relate to my friends, I see sin in how I work, I see sin and failures in how I approach God. Every relationship I have and everything I do [...]

bless the lord
You give and take away for my good. For who am I to say what I need?
For You alone see the hidden parts of me that need to be stripped away. And as You begin to refine, I’m learning to let go and rely on One who walks with me. As hard as it may [...]
