Batter my heart, three-person'd God ; for you
As yet but knock ; breathe, shine, and seek to mend ;
That I may rise, and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend
Your force, to break, blow, burn, and make me new...
Take me to you, imprison me, for I,
Except you enthrall me, never shall be free,
Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.

Never Give Up
I love this story in the New York Times about a South Korean woman who finally got her Driver's License after 960 tries. This is a real inspiration for perseverance!
I like to think deeply, but I'm not sure it's always very intelligent or wise. I long to be a healing force in people's life, but I feel as if I am just fumbling my way around in a fallen world most days. God is teaching me about His sovereignty & my fallen nature through my daughter & the growing line of people who have lived or are living with us. He is faithful to bring healing & growth day by day & year by year. Oh the joy of having a ROCK in the midst of life's stormy adventures!
