"Our God is able to do exceedingly abundantly all we ask or think."
Let's PICTURE this: you've been plucked, gracefully, from where you are and lifted into an amazing space you approve of, where everything weighing you down or that has troubled you or causes you to devalue yourself or delays you in anyway is promptly removed - miraculously - gone - you are completely new from the inside out while remaining fully enriched (all of your valued experiences and learnings and wisdom are in tack); in that altered state (it's a miracle) you are advised (inspirationally so) to picture your new life - a life worth living hence forward - a life experienced just as you'd prefer it to be here and now, a life you want to be recorded and left for all eternity; it's the life you believe is worth your living; you're overflowing with gratitude - hold that snapshot (don't let it fade or crumble) - hold it, store it, for you are now being brought - gently - to where you are right in this moment, and here you are, fresh - newly minted - breathe . . . keep breathing . . . yes, you've come this far! (Do you believe in miracles?) Your turn! My turn! Look in the mirror. Yep, that's you. True? Yep, that's me, absolutely. Can anyone else live YOUR LIFE? Or mine?

"Give me the wild children with their bare feet and sparkling eyes. The restless, churning climbers. The wild ones using their outside voices, singing all the way home. Give me the wonder-filled, glorious mess makers dreaming of mountains and mud, aching to run through a field of stars."

Isaiah, the Prophet
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners."

"It's funny isn't it? That you can preach a judgmental and vengeful and angry God and nobody will mind. But you start preaching a God that is too accepting, too loving, too forgiving, too merciful, too kind . . . and you are in trouble."
