“We are right when, and only when, we stand in a right position relative to God, and when we are wrong so far and so long as we can stand in any other position. Much of our difficulty as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingly. We insist upon trying to modify Him and to bring Him nearer to our own image. The flesh whimpers against the rigor of God’s inexorable sentence and begs for a little mercy, a little indulgence of its carnal ways. It is no use. We can get a right start only by accepting God as He is and learning to love Him for what He is. As we go onto know Him better we shall find it a source of unspeakable joy that God is just what He is. Some of the most rapturous moments we know will be those we spend in reverent admiration of the Godhead.” -A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God

so…

my power cord is dead.
bunny chewed through it when i wasn’t paying attention.
and i am here at the apple store… looking at the price tag.

$79.00

ugh.

i need to work on a brochure for the profile group and burn a cd so that they can print it out.
that doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen.
i don’t feel like buying a power cord. i really… really don’t.

my gas tank needs to be filled.
i just ate… thank God.
i am really stretched thin here.

i know God has something wonderful going on.
there are all these other things happening around me that are equally bad.
but there are also a lot of things that are going on that are extremely awesome.

and although i wish sometimes i could see the works that He is doing in the midst of all the drama
right before my eyes…

i know better.
and i cease to want to know.
i just go with it.

thank you, Jesus, for your greatness.
