jim elliott was such a free human being.
it's probably because it was his life's work to do God's.
he did not allow his situations and circumstances to affect him the way i am allowing mine to affect me. does that make me a weak person? i feel weak. i feel like i could be doing better.
dear Lord, here i am again,
claiming small truths you've given me
because i refuse to step back and see the bigger picture.
thank you for the things you've put in my life
that i don't understand and don't get just yet.
thank you for being an expert on this whole living thing
and thank you for letting me trust you with my life
because there's no one else that i feel capable of doing that with.
thank you for walking to work with me on below freezing mornings.
thank you for letting me wake up after 2-3 hour nights of sleep.
thank you for the pursuit of friendship my friends have bestowed upon me.
thank you for the laughter that accompanies every night.
thank you for large cups of coffee and for carrots.
thank you for forgiving me when i forget to call you up to hang out with me.
thank you for the warmth that a sunny day brings
and thank you for the beauty that you have created in mankind.
help me to see it and recognize it more regularly. i love you my Jesus.
