Speak, Lord, in the stillness,
While I wait on Thee;
Hushing my heart to listen
In expectancy.

Speak, O blessed Master,
In this quiet hour;
Let me see Your face, Lord,
Feel Your touch of power.

For the words that You speak,
"They are life," indeed;
Living bread from Heaven,
Now my spirit feed!

Speak, Your servant hears You!
Be not silent, Lord;
My soul on You does wait
For Your life-giving word!

Where there is no vision, the people perish (Proverbs 29:18)

It is not necessary to be continually speaking to God, or always hearing from Him in order to have communication and fellowship, for there is an unspeakable fellowship that is sweeter than words.

A young child can sit all day long with his mother totally engrossed in playing while his mother is consumed by her work.  Although both are busy and few words are spoken by either, they are in perfect fellowship.  The child knows his mother is there, and she knows that he is all right.

Although the believer may be busy with ordinary things of life, he can be mindful that every detail of his life is touched by the character of God’s presence, and can have the awareness of His approval and blessing.

inevitable is a word used to describe something or some situation that is incapable of being avoided or evaded.  in other words, this "thing" is going to happen.  its kinda like death (for a common example). death will overtake us all, there is no stopping it or cheating it, so why ponder it.  people sit there day after day meditating over their own demise seemingly trying to prevent or postpone it somehow as with a devine power of the mind. why dont they spend their time living it to the fullest or providing the best outcome out of every situation, why overload the mind with these complexities they will never be able to grasp?  these inevitable circumstances and events will happen to us all, so why do we sit on them and ponder them until they become us?  why do we work so hard to prevent them or change the not too distant future? pondering and trying to come between these situations only poison's the soul...matthew 6:27 tells us, "who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life" - or in other cases postponing the inevitable and drawing them out.  these situations just need to happen, and we need to accept them as fact.  i need to accept it as a fact...the inevitable will happen because it is, like i said previously, incapable of being avoided or evaded. 

i grow weary from battle and will lay down my battered shield and sheathe my saber soon.  i am so tired.  i am so weary from battle.  i am so scarred from all the fighting.  the fight has been to hard, the foe just too strong.  by laying down my defences i can openly reveal my weary and scarred body in total submishion...and let the event overtake me...i will let it go and stop trying to fend off the inevitable...

i surrender and will let God fight my battle for me, my Master Commander....i have lost sight of my brave Commander in the struggle and will lay behind His inpenetrable shield and let him slay all my fiends that haunt me in the long, dark nights...

the trenches i have dug in the first attacks have now become deeper as i have relied on my own defenses more and more....all i have to do is cry out from the graves i have dug for myself so my God can rescue me from the surrounding foes.....the impermeable fog of war grows thick now...i cannot see what battles lie ahead...i fend them off, but every time the horizon is clear, another appears

all that needs to be done is me to cry out so he can come to me, but i fear i have lost my voice....

i have a hotttt girlfriend.

In the time it takes you to read one of my rediculous posts, pray.  the greatest problem for me with prayer is time to set aside.  i mean honestly, you are reading one of my posts...so, take the rest of the time it would take to read one of these things and just lift a simple prayer to the lord our god, even if you just say hello.  prayer time is something i am trying to greatly increase right now, so lift up a prayer for me if there is nothing else you need to say.  i love you guys...

and while you're at it pray for michelle (marie's sister) and the rest of marie's family.
