How rare is it that we both bury our own hands before God and also think about the emotions that Christ had in his passion?

My prayer lately has been “harness myself to you”.  It sounds odd, but it makes sense in my head.  I picture myself strapping myself to Christ.

It has been a rough few weeks since I took this picture on retreat.  The Christian life is never “easy” and usually when we think it should be we have to fight harder and harder.  This is a progression of holiness, not a fight against sin.  It has also proven to me the power of being in constant thought with and to God, and not just in passing.

I always forget about this blog, and I think my last post here said the same thing.

I really look at the Tumblr (as opposed to the other 2 main blogs) as a place of confession and devotion.

With that-I can’t say how much I have learned in the cycle of devotion/retreat/growth this last month or so.  It has been enriching will serving as a deep rhythm at the same time. As Christian leaders either offer tips or attempt at book deal on their blogs, I think we need to remember how those who have gone before us have written for others…..always from a place of pleading faith to everyone who would listen.
