know.

i like to think i know You,
really know You.
that i have wrapped my insignificant little fist around eternity.
that i can grasp You as holy.
but finite eyes cannot behold the infinite,
for if i were to see the full scope of You,
all perfect, righteous, faithful, and just facets of You
then woe to this sinner, for i would be dead in that moment.
overcome by the reality of the I Am.
You were before there was,
You will after there is,
completely outside any realm of time,
but still so very much inside it.
You patiently reveal the smallest glimpses,
drawing hearts that cannot fathom You,
and taking back what was always Yours.
someday, You will glorify the whole of You saints,
so that Your glory will not strike us down.
but instead we will share with You in full joy.
but for now in this mirror, dimly lit,
we see in part.
know in part.
but soon You Son, this Living Word,
this Life Light will illuminate all.
no longer will we need some sort of dim screen
to protect these unclean hearts from utter shock.
but in the full light of the Son
we see in full.
know in full.
ever as You have completely known us.
complete in the fullness of our faith that is finished.
one last stroke of pen from Author.
we return from the world to which we never belonged.
called into the place You prepared.
then i'll know You,
really know You.
by You, made holy,
with eyes to truly behold You.

i'm back..

Wow, I thought Google had killed another one of my blogs..but I have revived this one and am back!
I took a bit of an unannounced break from writing, school just got crazy buzy!
Good news is that it has now slowed down, only a little though.
At least I am no longer on the road every week doing field studies.

So a few updates, cuz I know I have thousands of people wondering where i've gone. #sarcasm

First off, I have been accepted into my university's social work program!! YAY!!!
After working out a plan of study I now have only 3 semesters left of school, one of which will be an internship. So really I only have 2 semesters of class time.

That might not seem like such a big deal to most people, but hey I got ahead in highschool and now I am reaping the benefits of an earlier-than-anticipated graduation! :)))

Secondly, I am going to interview for a position in a program called the Child Welfare Professional Enhancement Program (CWPEP). This is where the Oklahoma Department of Human Services will pay me a stipend to finish my bachelors and in return I work for them in Child Welfare for 2 years. It's a pretty awesome set up, and I am PRAYING that God allows me to get in. However, if He doesn't that just means He's got something  better planned.

Right now it seems like a large chunk of my life has been revolving around school. I supposed it has. It's been wearing me thin, but I know God is really working in me right now, helping me to grow more in Him.

So there you have it...I have returned to the blogging community. Expect some poetry and such...God's been inspiring me through His word lately. :)

Have a blessed day.
