Two Americans went camping. While waiting for their food to cook one evening, one turned to the other and asked, "What's the Kingdom of Heaven like?" The other replied,
"The Kingdom of Heaven is like the National Parks and Forests. Some people hear about them, believe they are beautiful places, but never search for them. Others hear about them, look at pictures on the web, point them out in the distance, but never make time to visit. Still others go to the parks, take pictures, show them to their friends, buy souvenirs, wear them for a time, and return when its convenient. Then there are those who sell everything, move into the parks and actively maintain them."
The one who had asked the question blinked in surprise and then asked, "What does that mean?" The other replied, "It means we need to be more than tourists."

Who am I?
"God send me anywhere, only go with me
Lay any burden on my heart, only sustain me
And sever any tie in my heart except the tie that binds my heart to Yours"
-David Livingstone
Dear God,
Who am I that You would create me?
Who am I that you would save me?
Who am I that you would make a way to love me?
Who am I that you would use me?
Why me God? I gave You my heart many years ago. I gave You my life a few years ago and I'm giving you my dreams as soon as I realize I've held them from You.
I can feel You moving/working in me. During the this time of resting You have been with me as rough as it's been. You have reminded me of who I was and where I have come from. You have renewed a passion inside me that had been pushed aside.
God, use my hands, tender and splotchy from the rash
Use my feet, give me balance, strength to stand, and endurance
Use my words, help them be full of truth and love
Use my thoughts, help me keep them captive, help them be full of You
Use my past, the places I've been,conversations I've had, emotions I've experienced, and tears I've cried
Use the present state I am in, help me to be thankful
Use my future, help me not to become focused on myself and my plans, but to be focused on You and those around me.
Lay any burden on my heart, only sustain me
And sever any tie in my heart except the tie that binds my heart to Yours"
