Hobby Hunting

the actually trip to find a hobby didn't go so well. there is apparently no belgian equivalent of hobbycraft. however i did spend a happy couple of hours yesterday making cards to send to various people...

if you want to give me your address if i don't already have it, i may send you one (in the next year or so, time management isn't really my thing) i like to write and receive letters *hint hint* :) love xx

"Prone to wander, prone to leave the God I love
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above."
-Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing, Robert Robertson

The bride eyes not her garment,
But her dear bridegroom's face,
I will not gaze at glory,
But on my King of Grace,
Not at the crown He giveth,
But on pierced hand,
The Lamb is all the glory,
Of Immanuel's Land.
-The Sands of Time Are Sinking, Samuel Rutherford

May God bless us with discomfort at easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships - so that we may live deep within our hearts. May God bless us with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people - so that we may work for justice, freedom, and peace. May God bless us with tears to shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger, and war - so that we may reach out our hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy. And may God bless us with enough foolishness to believe that we can make a difference in the world - so that we can do what others claim cannot be done, to bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.
Amen. (Franciscan Benediction)

"I'm well aware that you don't care what I know, until you know that I care" - RJ Mason :)

"For God alone oh my soul, wait in silence
for my hope is from Him.
He is my only rock and my salvation,
my fortress.
I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation, my glory,
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
Trust in him at all times people,
pour your heart out before him,
God is a refuge for us."
-Lecrae - Far Away
