My testimony

Elisabeth Alden Scott

And shall I fear

That there is anything that men hold dear

Thou would'st deprive me of,

And nothing give in place?

That is not so-

For I can see Thy face

And hear Thee now:

"My child, I died for thee.

And if the gift of love and life

You took from Me,

Shall I one precious thing withhold-

One beautiful and bright,

One pure and precious thing withhold?

My child, it cannot be."

Your will be done Lord, not mine! All my dreams, hopes, and desires are Yours forever. I choose You, I choose Your yoke; I choose to follow you, now and forever!

Behave like a person, not a mule

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should

go; I will counsel you and watch over you.

Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no undesrtanding

but must be controlled by bit and bridle

or they will not come to you.

Many are the woes of the wicked,

but the Lord's unfailing love

surrounds the man who trusts in Him.

-Psalm 32:8-11

The Cry of a Desperate Soul

Came across this prayer last night while reading a book. It comes from the Southwell Litany for the Personal Life. It's an amazing prayer... The cry of a soul seeking to serve the Lord consistently, wholeheartedly, and with a purpose, may this be also my prayer and pursuit during this season of my life, and the more to come!

" From moral weakness of spirit; from timidity; from hesitation; from fear
of men and dread of responsability, strengthen us with courage to speak the
truth in love and self-control; and alike from the wekness of hasty violence and
weakness of moral cowardice,
save us and help us, we humbly beseeck Thee, O Lord.
From weakness of judgement; from the indecision that can make no choice;
from the irresolution that carries no choice into act; and from losing
opportunities to serve Thee,
Save us and help us, we humbly beseech Thee, O Lord. "

The Colors of Fall

I took these pictures while driving. I don't recomend it if you're not such experienced driver as I am... As I've mentioned it previously, Fall is my favority season, and I enjoy capturing the colors that year after year decorate the streets of my city; such splendor takes me back to the Maker of all things, for in Him all things were created, and in Him all things exists and are called into order.

God, You're marvelous in every way, may the World sing of Your magnificent works forever and ever! Amen.
