A bunch of us went to visit Gettysburg yesterday afternoon.
Dang.
Now that place is pretty saaweet. Reminded me of the movie Braveheart or somethin. It was so cool. God keep raising up real warriors for You. Men of valor. Men willing to be all in for You.


God woke me this morn with Psalm 33. It was perfect- as His words whispered to my heart always are.
"For the word of the Lord holds true and we can trust everything He does."
Even when it takes years the see His promises whispered to our heart make the leap from the unseen/spiritual into the seen/natural. Even when we must grit our teeth and cry out for understanding to see things the way He sees them when it appears His word has failed or been delayed or somethin; instead of just passively, weakly sitting by and saying "Ah well. I'll just keep on keepin on and try to ignore what makes my heart race and my soul leap out of my chest. I'll pretend this pain and longing aren't here. Who am I to ask God or seek His heart in this matter..."
We must fight for the Divine Reality: LOVE. That this is what undergirds His every action. And oftentimes even the visions, callings, and dreams He plants in us that seem to go unnoticed and fester like a painful, unattended wound, really are right on schedule in His eyes.
So there's hope in the midst of the agony. And there's daydreaming for those bold enough to approach His gracious throne and beg for the strength to fight the giants for it. There's a light approaching, closer & closer with each passing day for those who refuse to look @ the ground in shame and despair - but who look up, only up for the Divine Presence. Because it's there. Always there, when it's all said and done - always there.

p.s.
PRAYER MOVES THE UNMOVABLE. WASTE NO MORE TIME. DON'T KEEP THIS MIGHTY SWORD SHEATHED ANY LONGER Mighty warrior called out by God. Let's not arrive @ Home one day and wish we would have engaged with our God in this area and seen men healed and delivered, governments altered toward righteousness, the unborn given a chance @ the dreams God has for them, friends and family saved, etc.
