.: Wake Up Already!!! (Reflections on Romans 13:8-14) \\

Today I recieved a message from Michelle Leong from Maylasia. She was just encouraging me that I should trust God that his plans for me will come to fruition. Thanks Michelle.

Her blog introduced me to Brooke Fraser’s, song, “Albertine.” While I had heard Brooke Fraser sing songs that she had done with Hillsong United (like “Lord of lords”), I did not know this side of her. I was both excited and felt a sense of companionship, and yet challenged by the words. Even though my heart is for the people of Africa, I am challenged by the words…

“Now that I have seen, I am responsible
Faith without deeds is dead
now that I have held you in my own arms, I cannot let go till you are”

I weren’t expecting no rainbows…(meditations on noah)

Noah’s Ark

by Jeff Black

“I weren’t expecting no rainbows.”
Noah told them cackling hens.

…and longing…”HOW LONG?”…

Praying:

I dreamed of Africa;

I saw her rise up out of the ashes.

As I looked into her bright white eyes

she spoke to me with dry, cracked lips

“How long brother? How long?”

And I said,

God, for the sake of your faithfulness you have called us into your marvelous light and opened our eyes to these things that our blinded hearts once could not see. How long, oh Lord? How long?
