Have you heard about this man? This country needs a President like Mike Huckabee. Conservative, a man of faith, a musician, a family man, a strong sense of humor. I really like this guy. Read about him, join the team to elect him as our next President, and get the word out about him.
Go Mike!!

Well here we go - an introduction to blogging. Since this is my first post, expect to read ramblings mostly. Tonight my worship minister, truly a man after God’s heart - asked those of us on the worship team at our Church - Durham Evangelical in Durham NH - to go where we most readily meet with God. I don’t have a place. Maybe this can be my place - sure I get on my knees every morning and try my best to clear my head of all the junk I carry around all day, everyday so I can really dedicate the first part of my day to my Lord and Savior - boy is that hard. Jesus tells us to “be still and know that I am God.” I know it’s a whisper that I need to hear, but try as I might, the niose never stops long enough for me to hear Him. I so desperately want to hear what He wants of me. Can you relate?
I’m not sure that a different location would make any difference. So, would you bear with me as I have a conversation with Him?
If I could sit with you for just a short while Lord, to unload all the “stuff” I don’t want to carry anymore. Would you release me from the hurt, embarrasment, shame, worthlessness that I feel? Logically, I know that You are enough - that I need nothing else. So why can’t I push all these emotions away? Why is it so hard to just accept that You are enough and be joyful that I have been saved by your grace - that your blood washes me clean?
If I could hear You tell me exactly what You want me to do - how to serve You. I wouldn’t hesitate - discernment is not a strength - I feel like I’m walking in circles most often, not hearing, and being a complete disppointment because I’m not following Your plan for my life. There are many times that I completely relate to the song - “I can only imagine” - I prefer the version You gave to Amy Grant - but the words are really all that’s important - “Surrounded by Your glory what will my heart feel, will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of You be still, will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall, will I sing Halelujah or be able to speak at all…” Right now, doesn’t much matter, but it brings tears to my eyes to think about being close to You, physically close to You. I want to kneel at Your feet, put my head in Your lap, take a deep breath and know that I’ll no longer be apart from You.
I love you Jesus with everything I have.
