Jen & Richard's weekend this past Saturday was awesome! and fun! And the weekend in general, I got to see old friends, hear about where they all are now and how they're doing. When it came to job or career stuff, I got to thinking: The old self would have thought me a sucker. The new self still says i'm being a fool, but beyond that, I am still loved by God.
Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take my hands and let them move
at the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my feet and let them be

Take my will and make it Thine
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is Thine own
it shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love, my Lord I pour
at Your feet its treasure store
Take myself and I will be
ever, only, all for Thee.

Oftentimes, when I'm going through trials, I try to comfort myself with something like: "God is putting me through this because it'll be for some good (practical) purpose in the future." But I can't keep leaning on that, even as "good" as it sounds. Sometimes, trials don't bear "practical" fruit, not even for ministry's sake. But all trials are to draw us closer to Him, teaching us that we can run home to Our Father. Sometimes there is no practical/ministerial purpose other than to simply remind us that God loves us and we can depend on Him. fruits of the Spirit.
