Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.
If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.
Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.
David was anointed and blessed and had been faithful to God. He had a call to be king and still worked in the fields. Then he became a hero and served Saul. Success is not achieved; it is received. It comes through faithfulness.
I have a tendency to be impatient with the things God calls me to do. As soon as I started writing songs, I wanted to start recording and singing in churches. I could do that; I "know" what to do to get the ministry I think God has for me. But it wouldn't really be the ministry He has for me. I need to use this time to get close to Him and for Him to prepare me for His will.
God uses people with needs. The need keeps me close to Him.
Lord, change my heart as You have done so many times before. Make me who You want me to be. I shouldn't be surprised if people I help are not faithful to me. Lord, if I need to endure pain, then help me to endure it willingly and even gladly. Help me to turn to You. Help me to become secure in You through my quiet time and through trusting You to meet my needs.
Jesus chose "losers," and they followed him. They were people he could touch with his love and power. They were used to instability and rejection. Life in him was no harder than their old lives.
Robert Schuller says that some of the greatest ideas come from the most unlikely places.
God puts me right where He wants me to be.
