some more past things I'd written down.

"I don’t want to keep on living in this world.  (I long for His return!  I long for heaven!!  Oh, yes!!)  I was made for a better place, where the Lord’s glory and light fills everywhere.  Yet if God wants me to live long to be a testimony to his goodness, I can say with wholeheartedness that it’s coming from God, not me, because it’s still hard for me to keep on going one more day.  I SHALL see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  If he wants me here, and I have found no joy apart from his will, then let the Lord show me how he can allow me to live long in his will.  Pray for me, all you peoples, that I would not get discouraged."

'Woah!  I've been thinking a lot about this verse lately, and to hear it in this version was amazing!  "In the same way, anyone that holds on to life just as it is, destroys that life. But if you let go, reckless in your love, you'll have it forever, real and eternal." John 12:25'

'Ezekiel 14:12-14  " The word of the Lord came to me:  “Son of man, if a country sins against me by being unfaithful and I stretch out my hand against it to cut off its food supply and send famine upon it and kill its men and their animals, even if these three men—Noah, Daniel and Job—were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign Lord."  Wow.  I’ve said that to so much of God’s Word, and now again, my jaw actually dropped.'

“To pray often is almost to conquer.”-King Gustavus
