Good Enough

Hey little girl would you like some candy
Your momma said that it’s okay
The door is open come on outside
No I can’t come out today
It’s not the wind that cracked your shoulder
And threw you to the ground
Who’s there that makes you so afraid
You’re shaken to the bone
And I don’t understand
You deserve so much more than this

So don’t tell me why
He’s never been good to you
Don’t tell me why
He’s never been there for you
Don’t you know that why
Is simply not good enough
So just let me try
And I will be good to you
Just let me try
And I will be there for you
I’ll show you why
You’re so much more than good enough...



This song has both destroyed me... and picked me up in the past 10 years.


Thank you Jesus for showing me I was good enough to be Loved

A Weekly Routine

Every week I send a letter. Anonymously -- and with no return address.

Plain white envelope, typed address. A little stamp in the right hand corner.

I take it to the mailbox to have it sent on its way. Wondering when it will arrive at its destination.

Once it arrives, I don't know what's done with it. I don't know if it's loved, thrown away, forgotten, made fun of, or burned.

I know that it doesn't matter what happens to it - but that it's been sent.

Within the letter is another letter. A Letter in-fact that changes peoples lives daily.

Romans.

Upon printing the scripture, I plead with God....

Holy Spirit, plant Yourself in the letter. Open the eyes of the blind. Open the ears of the deaf. Make yourself known! Soften the steel of his heart. Let these letters show love and truth. Let them show the Gospel and the weight of You. Jesus catch him when he falls.

But Lord, if this is not your will for him, I'll be okay. I just want him to have the chance to see You like I do. God I plead with every cell inside me, Lord awake in him.



Until that day comes, I will continue my weekly routine.



Letter by Letter. Book by Book.


In Christ Alone.

Eat, Pray, Love

I read this book about 3 years ago now. I was not really at a 'sane' place in my life at that time.

Since the movie is coming out soon, I figured that I would re-read it because honestly, I don't remember what it was about at all.

So I picked it up about 2 days ago. (I haven't had much time to read in the past 2 days, so I was only on section 2) She (the Author) starts to tell about her marriage. She starts to tell about how horrible her marriage is and that she no longer wants to be apart of it. Being married, I still can't see how this makes any logical sense. She doesn't go into detail about the reasons for not wanting to be a part of the marriage anymore. Just that there were personal issues. Which I could assume most marriages face at some point or another. Nonetheless, she wants out.

She states that something changed in her that night on the floor. That she began to pray. To God. She then proceeds to state that she considers herself, "Culturally, not theologically" a Christian. UM WHAT? Then.... continues to state that she was born protestant and that she doesn't believe that Christ "the Good-teacher" is the only way to heaven. And that no one she talks/surrounds herself with says anything more strict than that. Then apologizes if anything she has said offends anybody and that they should just mind their business.

I then took the book to the kitchen. Found the trash can, and tossed it.

That is the reason why people do not take Christ and Salvation seriously.
They can leisurely say, oh yes, I'm a Christian and have no belief in the REASONS for Christianity in the first place.

I pray that one day God softens her heart and she sees that the Truth is that through Christ alone there is freedom. Until that time, I will not be reading any of her books.
