(background: the past few weeks I've been reading over Joshua. I believe it's with significant purpose that I consistently am brought to this book...)
From the pages of my journal...
"O how great is Your might hand
that rests on the ones whom You
have called and chosen!
Your promises are steadfast, even beyond
our meager belief.
Your reign in the lives of those who
love (& keep your commands) is sovereign,
steadfast, and without waver.
The tides of our emotions & the world
around us, they come and they go.
But I will lean on YOU.
I won't relent.
Burn in me the fire to conquer, conquest
the: Promise Land, of this Joshua.
For You, 'the Lord my God is with me
where I go'."
(Music I'm listening to: Misty Edwards You Won't Relent

Our friend who opened up her apartment to us to stay for the SECOND week while we searched, has a prayer meeting/get together at her place each week. We met with them. When they took time to pray for us, one of them gave us the word "God has brought you guys to New York, this is not just your 'good idea'." Woohoo...we aren't totally kookoo.
