Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

2. Be Thou my Wisdom, Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

3. Be Thou my battle-shield, sword for my fight,
Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight.
Thou my soul's shelter, Thou my high tower.
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

4. Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

5. High King of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heav'ns Son!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,S
till be my vision, O ruler of all.

I love being with believers. tonight at biblestudy i was once again overwhelmed with the awesome power of God. It was amazing to just see the work of God in a tangible way. to see the way he brings people that are so different, through so many different circumstances to the same place for the same purpose. He reminded me once again of the awesome intricate strength of the body. how he gave us each our own set of strengths and weaknesses to work together to do exactly what he wants to be done? it was great to listen to angela say what she felt God had been teaching her and see the ways that it spoke to people, and then remember what ways the holy spirit works when jen is leading as well. and then to compare it to the atmosphere the holy spirit gives in stephenson. My favorite is to be doing our lesson on one side of the room and be aware of the men digging into Gods word in a totally different way only on the other side of the room. everyonce in awhile i will catch a little piece of what they are discussing and just get blown away by the soveriegnty of God. He is huge and all encompassing. just the idea that God will take what He is teaching them and what He is teaching us, even if it seems completely different, and weave it together to all fit perfectly into the plan for what he is doing here in different aspects of our campus, and to think that later he will be sending us all in our own direction out into the world just blows my mind. Our God is huge! it warms my heart that all that we are doing seperately is really joining us together in our heavenly purpose. these are my brothers and sisters! Gods world is huge but he wil send us to the outer extremities. if i never see these people again in life i will see them in heaven!!! its so beautiful. :) :)

one more random thought:
Proverbs 30:7-8
Two things I ask of you, O Lord; do not refuse me before i die:
keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches. but give me only my daily bread.

i want this to be the cry of my heart and to that prayer i want to add one more thing. I ask God to give us the Nations!!! May our work be not in vain, bring your people to you father :)
