Home

In a few short weeks this little place will be mine. I am excited to have a new home! As it is a foreclosure I am also super excited to no longer be dealing with the bank selling me the home. They leave a lot to be desired when it comes to customer service. Let me know if you want to come over and paint. I am sure that there will be several painting extravaganzas.

I love the lines to this song and it is my prayer that my life would be permeated by the Spirit and the Word as this song describes. I long for the seasons to be extended more through out my life. I long for it become a truer reflection of His grace continues to redeem my sinful little heart.

This blog will be a random collection of deep thoughts, updates on life and pictures.

Abide in me, O Lord, and I in Thee,
From this good hour, oh, leave me nevermore;
Then shall the discord cease, the wound be healed,
The lifelong bleeding of the soul be o'er.

Abide in me; o'ershadow by Thy love
Each half formed purpose and dark thought of sin;
Quench ere it rise each selfish, low desire,
And keep my soul as Thine, calm and divine.

As some rare perfume in a vase of clay,
Pervades it with a fragrance not its own,
So, when Thou dwellest in a mortal soul,
All Heaven's own sweetness seems around it thrown.

Abide in me; there have been moments blest
When I have heard Thy voice and felt Thy power;
Then evil lost its grasp; and passion, hushed,
Owned the divine enchantment of the hour.

These were but seasons beautiful and rare;
Abide in me, and they shall ever be;
Fulfill at once Thy precept and my prayer,
Come, and abide in me, and I in Thee.
