I start my new job on May 1st and I’m so very excited for the opportunity that God has opened before me.

I received a phone call on Friday afternoon asking if I could come lend a hand and be their sound tech for the evening, just to make sure nothing crazy happened. After a little coaxing to make sure my mom didn’t think her “baby” was just running off - I headed out to lend a hand.

The acoustically driven concert was awesome and it was a nice intimate time with a small group of people. The sound demands weren’t taxing at all so I was able to snag a few photos of Shelly and Mike as they praised God. You can see the full album in my Flickr based gallery.

it would seem that there is within each of us an enemy which we tolerate at our peril. Jesus called it `life’ and `self,’ or as we would say, the self-life. Its chief characteristic is its possessiveness: the words `gain’ and `profit’ suggest this. To allow this enemy to live is in the end to lose everything. To repudiate it and give up all for Christ’s sake is to lose nothing at last, but to preserve everything unto life eternal. And possibly also a hint is given here as to the only effective way to destroy this foe: it is by the Cross: `Let him take up his cross and follow me.’

Tozer finishes off the chapter with a prayer. Even though the vocabulary is in an older version of english, I still found the prayer profound and also calling to myself. Lord - let this be my prayer.

Father, I want to know Thee, but my coward heart fears to give up its toys. I cannot part with them without inward bleeding, and I do not try to hide from Thee the terror of the parting. I come trembling, but I do come. Please root from my heart all Those things which I have cherished so long and which have become a very part of my living self, so that Thou mayest enter and dwell there without a rival. Then shalt Thou make the place of Thy feet glorious. Then shall my heart have no need of the sun to shine in it, for Thyself wilt be the light of it, and there shall be no night there. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
