    “With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?” —Oscar Wilde

    This is a little sample of the glory that I’ve experienced for the last few weekends camping out at El Capitan with some beautiful people. Words can not express my thankful heart.

    I’ve learned through these little trips some valuble lessons. 

    -The importance, joy, value and gift of living in the present moment and nowhere else. There is simply nothing like it. I don’t know how to explain it or how to do it. I just asked that God would help us do it and He did. 

    -Make the most of every little thing, seek beauty, light and goodness everywhere, celebrate life in and of itself and you will find yourself living off the constant joys that can not be poured out onto you other than from the hands of Jesus Himself.

    John Steinbeck said this:

    “Once a journey is designed, equipped, and put in process, a new factor enters and takes over. A trip, a safari, an exploration, is an entity, different from all other journeys. It has personality, temperament, individuality, uniqueness. A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us. Tour masters, schedules, reservations, brass-bound and inevitable, dash themselves to wreckage on the personality of the trip. Only when this is recognized  can the blown-in-glass bum relax and go along with it. Only then do the frustrations fall away. In this a journey is like a marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it. I feel better now, having said this, although only those who have experienced it will understand it.”

    woman at the well.: Solo, sometimes a no-no.

    tracyatthewell:

    WE NEED PEOPLE.

    This is a truth I’m catapulting primarily to myself. I used to boast in my alone time, my solo-ness, my singleness, but when it comes down to it, my moments of utter joy have involved others. And I say this all to give recognition to that, to them. Thankfulness hardly covers it.

    I am my Beloved's and He is mine.: I was doing a little study on the different Hebrew words for worship...

    katieridescrf:

    I was doing a little study on the different Hebrew words for worship and found some gems I thought I would share. As always, test everything, some of the commentary was found on different websites. I just love all of this, a lot.

    Tehillah -teh-hil-law-
    to sing, to laud. A spontaneous new song….

    More good stuff my friend Fong shared that her friend shared with her!

    some things the Holy Spirit has been teaching me about the Father’s heart for His people

    Reacquaint yourself with the breach; you can’t go on pretending it’s not there. You can’t go on pretending that all those places in your heart and mind and soul and body where Christ is not King aren’t negatively affecting your relationship with Him. Open your heart again to the pain and darkness and terror of separation from Him so that you can rediscover your absolute need for Him.

    He wants you back. He is desperate for your love, your companionship, your conversation, your delight in Him. His heart breaks for you a million times over when He sees you go after anything that is not Him. You are His most precious treasure—and your independence and self-sufficiency pain Him to the core.

    There is no shame or condemnation for your wandering, just endless grace and forgiveness, a feast, open arms, rest. Why? Because you are the lost sheep and He is the Shepherd; you are so precious to Him that He will forsake everything and abandon all others in the wilderness until He finds you and brings you back home.

    God can completely redeem your shame and finds joy in doing so, not because He delights in seeing you struggle, but because it brings Him deep joy to see you overcome and succeed. The things that you still feel twinges of shame for can be the same things that God is most proud of in your life.

    You are His heir, and God Himself is your inheritance. You get the God of the universe to share the joys and woes of your every moment, you get the King of Kings to laugh with, the Comforter to weep with, the best Father/Mother/Brother/Sister/Friend to love, and who loves you fully, completely, better than you can imagine. All He requires is your unadulterated love, a love that consumes your entire being with passion for God Himself.
