Let Me Be A Vessel

This song has sparked another depth of meaning to me since Christmas. I feel the words in this song describe me just as they described Mary. No, I am not physically carrying Jesus, but I am Spiritually, mentally, and emotionally carrying Him. All I want to be is a vessel for Him to shine through. If that means I get trampled and He gets glorified, then I will be happy.

The Importance of Discipline

Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.  Hebrews 12:10-11

The most important thing to receive is discipline. Why? Because discipline builds character and shows what your heart is really made of. Though I hate the moment, the aftermath of discipline is sweet. I feel my spirit growing whenever I have had a good rebuking session. I feel like my life is open on a platter and it makes me feel stretched, yet in the right place.

It's a Boy!

At 3:36 am, on Wednesday morning, I become the proud aunt of another little boy. His name is Benjamin Judah Cherry. I have spent the whole night awaiting his arrival, and I am now going to bed. I can't wait to see him again tomorrow.

There will be pictures coming soon!

The End Of The Trail

For the first year I will be a registered voter, I am tempted to not even vote. Today, Rick Santorum suspended his presidential campaign. I understand his reasoning being that he needs to spend more time with his family, and I honor that he is not wasting time and money on a campaign that is out of his hands. However, I will truly miss him. I really, really hoped and prayed that he would win the presidential election. Just the same, I am very grateful he made it this far, and I am hopeful that he could run again in a future election. (I don't know if he is planning to or not) I have spent more time praying for this election than any other year, and I enjoyed the excitement of seeing Santorum cruise ahead of Mitt Romney for a couple of weeks. I pray that Rick and Karen Santorum will be blessed, and still make a great impact on our country in the future.

A Faithful Supporter,

A Tribute To My King

Without this day, where would I be?
The day that Jesus died for me
The day he was whipped and scorned
The day he was beaten and worn
What a horrendous, yet glorious day
A day of rejoicing and a day of despair
A day of deliverance and a day filled with care

How can I repay the one who hung there
Bleeding and bruised
With passion in His eyes
He gave up His life
He didn't look back, but answered the call
The call that was sent by the God of all.

There is nothing I can do
There is nothing that can be done
Other than giving up something
And that is, what I wanted to become
Before Jesus died on that cross filled with shame
Before He gave up His spirit and remembered my name

I don't know how clear this poem really is. But, it portrays what is in my heart; a desire to please and honor Jesus, The Christ.
