Jun. 19, 2008 - Fire, Dirt, Weeds, and Sweat
Here are a few of my thoughts over the past day or so. They may not be fully formed yet, but I think that's why I need to share with you. You can share your thoughts with me in this.
Fire: Volcanoes and forest fires completely destroy everything in their path. Yet even in that there is a little seed waiting for just a time as this to germinate and grow. We all have our own times of fire. There is Life even in the destruction.
Dirt: Mine is mostly clay. How is anything supposed to grow in that muck. It needs good things added to it. So does my soul. It is mucky and needs the good things of Jesus.
Weeds: They can grow in anything. Why is that? Some of their roots are deep and gnarly. We don't always get to the root. We pull off the leaves and our garden looks good, but it is really a breeding ground for weeds.
Sweat: Thats what happens when I dig. Why aren't my kids sweating?
Put in me,
what I cannot buy with gold
Put in me, O God
Come restore my broken soul
Put in me
What I cannot give myself
Put in me
A clean heart.
From the Song Put in Me by 100 portraits and Waterdeep from the cd Enter the Worship Circle.

Amen! and Amen! to the above two posts!
Hey, when your son called to talk to mine I was blown away by his voice! I would not have recognized him without my phone telling me who was calling! ;-) I can't say that my boy has experienced this yet.
Love to you!
