Blessing Others

Please remember that letting others help you is a blessing unto the person who's doing the helping.

Sometimes it's hard to be humble and ask for help, but God blesses the humble in heart. He says Himself in Matthew 11:29, "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

Let others help you when it's needed.

Ready and Waiting to Fall - Mae

Drowning just as fast as I can
But don't throw me a line
Don't reach out your hand
'cause I'm on the brink of something beautiful
And I want to sing about it
But I don't know where to begin
Write a letter
But the words don't come out right
Try and explain how nobody can do me like
You don't understand how helpless I can get
Since the day that we met
Oh can you feel it yet?

It's never been more perfect being alive
I've never been so satisfied
Oh, oh, oh

I could feel something different from the first time
Heaven made sense
And all the words ryhmed
No chance in stopping now
I'm taking it all
And now I'm caught in the air
It's a good glide
Pass it up, wouldn't dare
Oh, what a wild ride
I remember being ready
And waiting to fall
Just like I did tonight

Spinning around and around
Until my left was my right
And up became down
With just one look
You knocked me off of my feet
So unable to speak
Oh, how you made me weak
Though it was a while ago
I still can recall
That moment so ready
And waiting to fall
Can you take me back in time
Remembering when
You captured my heart
Over and over again
First touch of the Spirit and Jesus upon one's heart. Do you remeber how it felt when you first accepted Him, the one and only King?

Measuring Up

"For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength." 1 Corinthians 1:25

Lord,

Your name is to be praised!
To be at Michigan Tech with all these "smart people" does make me feel like I don't measure up, but it's great to be reminded that even the smartest students here don't measure up to You. I'm not saying this to put these people down, but to give myself a small understand of just how majestic You are.

"Who am I that the Lord of all the earth would care to know my name? Would care to feel my hurt? Who am I that the bright and Morning Star would choose to light the way for my ever wondering heart?" ~Casting Crowns

I may not measure up when it comes to human intellect, but I am Yours.

"'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'" Acts 17:28
