When You speak

Aug 3/12  Journal excerpts...

   Morning Jesus, for the first time I am actually awake and up before Bailey and I just have to say how cool it is when You speak through devotions and Scripture to affirm an experience. The devotion was on seeking Your face instead of Your hands, which has also been in my journals in the last couple of days.  Thank You for that hug right off the bat! 

 ... I love You, I need You.

   There is something about this ridge line isn't there... like a purpose in the image.
   Hahaha usually is.
   Oh I loved Your words to Daniel when he was by the river Kebar... first and foremost about him being loved ... and heard... and yet he had to wait for a response, for a reason he would never have been able to conceptualize. You and Michael were fighting a battle... that intrigues and fascinates me for so many reasons. That You were battling for an extended period of time... that the battle sounded, well, like a battle... why didn't You just speak it and it was done? Oh that makes me go back to another thought ... ourselves and prayer and the time you told your disciples that 'this kind of spirit only comes out by prayer and fasting' what kind of battle is going on there and interestingly we are called to fast! Sarayu help me out here... I am losing my thoughts too fast... this discipline isn't taken out of the equation after the infilling of Your Spirit.
