"learning to need you" by justin mcroberts

I've forgotten
Just how sweet your
Mercies are Lord

I've forgotten, just how sweet your
Mercies are Lord
Could you remind me
You've been faithful in my weakness
Father your love
Overwhelms my soul
I'm learning to need you

I cry out your name
I am in need of your mercies, Jesus
Despite my pride and my shame
I'm learning to need you

JOY/PRAYER
sno bunny nk: wha'ts the hurry sickness
sno bunny nk: driving fast?
sno bunny nk: nm
sno bunny nk: i was reading bottom up

JOY
"if we have hurry sickness, we are haunted by the fear that there are just not enough hours in the day to do what needs to be done. we will read faster, talk faster, and when listening, nod faster to encourage the talker to accelerate. we will find ourselves chafing whenever we have to wait. at a stoplight, if there are two lanes and each contains one car, we will find ourselves guessing - based on the year, make and model of each car - which one will pull away the fastest.
at a grocery store, if we have a choice between two check-out lines, we find ourselves counting how many people are in each line, multiplying this number by the number of items per cart. if we have a really bad case of hurry sickness, then even after we get in line we keep track of the person who would have been me in the other line. if we get through and the person who would have been me is still waiting, we are elated. we've won. but if the alter-me is walking out of the store and we're still in line, we feel depressed. we have hurry sickness." john ortberg

PRAYER
i find that i suffer from "hurry sickness" when im in the car.

"A little boy went to Sunday school, where he knew the sort of answers you're supposed to give to questions. The teacher asked, "What is brown, furry, has a long tail, and stores up nuts for winter?"
"Well," the boy muttered, "I guess the answer is Jesus, but it sure sounds like a squirrel to me."

"if I was serious about becoming a more loving person, I was going to have to get more sleep. I have discovered I have a very hard time thinking and feeling and acting like Jesus when I lack sleep...Sleep is a gift from God...Have you ever tried to pray when you are lacking sleep?...Sleep is a gift from God." Amen brotha. but kinda ridiculouses that im posting this at almost 5am.

PRAYER
"If someone asked me how my spiritual life was going, my first thought would be how I was doing at having a quiet time - praying and reading the Bible each day...if someone had asked the apostle Paul or the apostle John about his spiritual life, his first question would have been, "Am I growing in love for God and people?" The real issue is what kind of people we are becoming. Practices such as reading Scripture and praying are important - not because they prove how spiritual we are - but because God can use them to lead us into life."

"Our primary task is not to calculate how many verses of Scripture we read or how many minutes we spend in prayer. Our task is to use these activities to create opportunities for God to work. Then what happens is up to him. We just put up sails: "The wind blows where is chooses...." "

JOY
BKU9: but remember, u shrank

JOY
"I developed a little liturgy at a church I served. I would say to the congregation, "It's morphing time." They would reply, "We shall morph indeed." haha, good meaning but i think that sounds kinda ridiculouses.

JOY
it was so funny watching chi and jozef cho play one on one. both were so intense before it started. chi pulled away w/ an 8-0 lead. then he did that stupid move off the backboard which totally got jacked up. then jozef made a comeback to pull it to 8-7. after some crazy back and forth stuff the score was 12-10 and jozef was determined not to let chi score again. chi got by him but jozef pulled his shorts down. then chi got by him again and jozef tackled him, injuring chi in the process. but chi pulls of a heroic stunt by scoring on a sprained ankle. i only wish i couldve recorded it.

PRAYER

JOY/THANKS
thank you God for allowing the awanagames to go well. the gospel was presented in a short message and hopefully it made an impact there. cant believe my boys got first place. im proud of them and the way they played. but there was one moment when i was pretty frustrated (tug-of-war).
