Since I recognize that I'm not the first human being to follow Jesus, I highly value the voice of God that is found in the Scriptures (2 Timothy 3:16), and in the testimonies and traditions of those who have gone before us (Hebrews 12:1). I also believe that creation itself is a testament that God has written and that somehow Jesus is the author and source of life for the universe (John 1, Colossians 1:17). So I seek God's voice through exploring and studying His creation as well.

The Gift

I’ve got a gift and it blew me a way
From the far eastern sea straight to here
And suddenly
You’ve done it all
You won me over
In no time at all
Green trees were the first sign
The deepest blue, the clearest sky
The silence came with the brightest eyes
And turned water into wine
The children ran to see
The parents stood in disbelief
And those who knew braced for the ride
Like God himself is coming home to say
I, I can do anything
If you want me here
And I can fix any thing
If you let me near
Where are those secrets now
That you're too scared to tell
I'd whisper them all aloud
So you can hear yourself

Children

An awesome example of 1 Timothy 4:12

So last night in bible study, we talked about having faith like child from Matthew 18. Now since my car decided to swallow my study book, I can't remember the questions that it asked. One of the questions I remember however, asked: What qualities does a child posses that makes us want to have faith like a child? My answer went along the lines of a child is humble, willing and eager to serve their parents/master. So when i stumbled on the link above, all the qualities i listed applied. My mind pretty much exploded when I saw this. Because of this child I got a glimpse of why a child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
