bought "as is"

I don't know how often I'll blog over the course of the rest of this year. I just do not know how crazy things will get for me. This week is quite busy. I have a lot of places to go. [I thought about printing tour shirts, but it seems a bit excessive]
I think I really need the Christmas series we are on this year, Hope has come. It can be so easy to loose hope. To misplace it, to not believe that it still has any meaning, to feel that it is extinct. Sometimes I just get to writing from talks like this.
I shared this on facebook, & probably here at some point.
"When Pastor Steve mentioned us "wanting God to act yesterday" I couldn't help but smile. [I didn't think Pastor Steve knew me that well] My thing with that was always: "God, I don't have all the time in the world." His answer has always been: "I know, child, but I still do."
Some other things I wrote today, inspired by the talk:
We are not controlled by the problem, we can be controlled by who holds the answer.
Jesus offers to never be changed, himself... but he changes everything else.

Of course this is easier to say/type than to really hold onto when times get tough.
However... as I type that I think of a song from 2 of The Call's albums. [to Heaven & back, & Into the Woods] All You Hold Onto.
Well, I'm going to go for now. I'm thinking of posting on lines from Christmas songs that have really been grabbing me lately.

Take care all,
May His grace drip from your fingers,
B
