That was a frightening phone call I received from Vince. I had the same thoughts you did, “God loves him even more than you do”.

I like to know the whys to, but I’m learning to rest in the fact that I can trust without them. It’s hard, but not TOO hard.

Glad he’s safe!! Lots were praying.

I think the hadest thing about waiting is preparing. Sometimes it’s easier to think that it’s our job to just wait Him out and when the times comes, we’ll have everything we need already. But I see being prepared as walking in obidence. We are acknowledging that He is going to do something and instead of being passive, we take action to get ready and wait for the day He moves.

haha…He gives me more than I can handle every day! Well, at least in my own strength. I think He overwhelms us so we will need him.

Ps 62 spoke to me this week. If I really believe He’s in charge…why do I keeep worrying and trying to organize and fix things.

Praying for you while you wait.

That is great…I prayed with our interns this morning as I felt led…”God let us worship You, today. As we work, be real to us. Help us to make today all about You!” To make a concentrated effort to ignore the distractions and “Enjoy” God being God. “Thank you Lord for your faithfulness”

Oh…your welcome.

I see humility as the ability to understand that God is in control. It infects my life in the sense that I know that God is God and that even when I don’t feel it and I want to control things, He has the ultimate control and I need to let go and let Him complete the work that He started.

Good post, Patrick. Can’t wait to read more of your thoughts.

When the kids were young we came up with simple definitions to character quality words. Humility was defined as: KNOWING you need God. That definition has helped me many times remember to keep things in perspective. He IS…I am NOT.

I personally love Exodus 14:14 “The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still”. Short, simple, and to the point. I think sometimes we get so caught up in fighting for what we want or fighting to feel this way or that that we forget God is fighting for us.

Detached Discipleship. Sorry, I just wanted a catchy term for my thought;-)

I made a similar “mistake” like your praying to be broken:) I prayed for two things…that God would make me see my sin for what it really is and that He would make my knees weak. The second prayer I thought was a cute way of saying, “I want to pray more and better.” But God apparently took me rather literally and I have nearly fallen down on a number of occasions as God leads me to pray by making my knees weak. I have so far to go…I am still dumb enough to fight the urge when it comes. Talk about urgency and expectancy. Praise God for His endurance!!!
