And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. You know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."

I have picked up (again), Morning and Evening by Spurgeon, which I love.

While we often associate power with being corrupt (injustice, idolatry), "power is also the means by which we bring life, create possibilities, offer hope and make human flourishing possible. This is 'playing god' as it is meant to be."<br /><br />Also slowly working through "The Grapes of Wrath" by Steinbeck. :)laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697318979142028808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767297878140786887.post-35574774080649731152014-02-13T05:53:16.614-08:002014-02-13T05:53:16.614-08:00I am currently reading Nik Ripkin's "The ...I am currently reading Nik Ripkin's "The Insanity of God." It is his and his family's story of doing relief work in Africa and somehow finding God in the depth of horror and grief that existed there at the time. <br />Not sure if more books equal more entries… (wink)… but I'm also working through "The Omnivore's Dilemma" (Pollan) and "Ghost Town" (Johnson), books about food and cholera respectively. <br /><br />As for verses, I am memorizing the following:<br />"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have DIVINE power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ."<br />-2 Corinthians 10:4-5<br /><br />I love this verse! The power to demolish strongholds is God's, not mine. We show up and pray and act obediently, but victory is always the Lord's.<br /><br />Also memorizing:<br />"I am still confident of this: that I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord: be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."<br />-Psalm 27:13-14christy.annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05965955131723001178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767297878140786887.post-70954147264644926772014-02-12T22:06:01.625-08:002014-02-12T22:06:01.625-08:00Posted this fantastic giveaway on Twitter :) https...Posted this fantastic giveaway on Twitter :) https://twitter.com/heyooletsgo/status/433844382874075136Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998165708161994773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767297878140786887.post-28627249127942006482014-02-12T22:05:04.201-08:002014-02-12T22:05:04.201-08:00I am not currently memorizing a verse, but I must ...I am not currently memorizing a verse, but I must start!

But since the new year I have felt some encouragement to get through some books that I have been only creeping through until now. So, I'd like to finish up Rocking the Roles as well as Beth Moore's book, When Godly People Do Ungodly Things. <br />I have never created an Amazon wish list.

The best approach has been to wake up an hour earlier than the kids. which is unpredictable and easily sets me up to resent them when they wake early...
