reflections
blog without a title.
I disagree…that ‘it doesn’t matter what you do…‘ with every fiber of my being. I agree that character is important. Integrity is important. I agree that a job/career doesn’t define you. I agree that we should find our purpose in Christ and our worth and fulfillment in Christ. But. I believe each of us [...]
pause ||
I just loved yesterday’s reading. (I’m a day behind). Here is an excerpt. My Utmost for His Highest By Oswald Chambers // As long as you maintain your own personal interests and ambitions, you cannot be complety aligned or identified with God’s interests. This can only be accomplished by giving up all your personal plans [...]
go near
this was the exhortation from a message I listened to today on the drive to worship rehearsal. go near. Go near and hear all that the LORD our God will say and speak to us all that the LORD our God will speak to you, and we will hear and do it.’ (Deuteronomy 5:27 ESV) [...]
one year
it’s hard to believe that a year ago I stepped down from SCU small groups leadership. it was wonderful being at the leader training last night even though I’m not in one particular spot right now, aside from leading worship here and there. i love college students. i love the community that has held me [...]

Hanging out with Carlos, and getting his fresh CD [...]
remembering my dad – 2 years in Heaven
Today, April 20, 2010 marks 2 years of my dad’s trip to Heaven. Dad went on a lot of trips, and so it seems appropriate to call it his one-way trip to Heaven, on April 20, 2008. It marks a day of relief, when his pain finally was gone, and our prayers for healing finally [...]
abide: pruning: part 3
While writing and thinking about abiding and pruning, I read this in Stormie Omartian’s book, Just Enough Light for the Step I’m On, I thought it fit perfectly with this concept. “Every fall in California we would cut back our rosebushes back to nearly nothing. For about four months they looked like pathetic little dead [...]
abide. part 2: pruning
I was helping mom prune a tree recently and while working on it with the garden loppers (the very ones pictured here) I immediately connected the tree pruning with the pruning that God has been doing in my life, like he speaks of in John 15:1-17. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he [...]
abide.
ABIDE. I have clung to this word, this command, during this season. I found an explanation of this word back in September in Erwin Lutzer’s book, How to have a Whole Heart in a Broken World. This word can be found repeated over and over in John 15:1-17, some translations use the word remain. Lutzer [...]
