Sometimes we search and pray for something and never find it. Why not let the person who knows where what your searching for is, reveal it to us? I can guarantee that by not looking, but being surprised, we will find something one hundred times greater than what we were originally set out to find!

Let the Resurrection joy lift us up from loneliness & weakness, & despair, to strength & beauty &happiness.” -FW Tomkins
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
- Hebrews 12:1-3
The terrible thing, the almost impossible thing, is to hand over your whole self- all your wishes and precautions, to Christ. But it is far easier than what we are all trying to do instead. For what we are trying to do is to remain what we call ‘ourselves’, to keep personal happiness as our great aim in life, and yet at the same time to be ‘good’. We are all trying to let our mind and heart go their own way- centered on money or pleasure or ambition- and hoping, in spite of this, to behave honestly and chastely and humbly. And that is exactly what Christ warned us you could not do…Christ says, ‘Give me all. I don’t want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want you…Hand over the natural self, all the desires which you think innocent as well as the… ones you think wicked-the whole outfit. I will give you a new self instead. In fact, I will give you Myself: my own will shall become yours.’ “
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
One of many great songs from the Freedom cd that was made to raise money and awareness about Human Trafficking!
I’m reading this book, ‘Selling Olga’ by Louisa Waugh. It’s about true stories of Human Trafficking over seas. This book reminds me why I’m so passionate about awareness of human trafficking. No one should ever have to be exposed to the horrible life of trafficking…no one! Like I’ve said before, trafficking happens in America too, more than you could image! What are we going to do about it?
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
C. S. Lewis
