Dominion

Ever noticed how the mornings can be incredibly serene? If it wasn't for the wind, still gently pulling at the tree branches outside my window, this would be the most serene of mornings.
It's a dejected morning. Beneath the hollow distraction of the wind, there is a calm anticipation. Greyish light permeates the air, like a low mist over a swamped field waiting for a brilliant sun to break over the horizon. A fog of excitement and fear hang, as if frozen, waiting with baited breath for the inevitable sunrise.
Thus I wait. Somewhere amidst the quiet uncertianty that still rests over my emotions, is the joy that I've all but forgotten about. Somewhere over the horizon of scarred beliefs, God is ready to shine down upon my heart and drench it's hillscapes and meadows in joy. Like the awakening of a frost laden ground, in the brilliantly warm yet gentle exposure of morning sun.
This is the morning I've been waiting for. This is the turning point of God's Kingdom over my life. He's already started fighting back the dark emptiness that I have let invade this country.

Last night David and I had an awesome time of prayer... as two men desiring to see God sit fully over the throne of our lives; to give Him dominion over everything we are. That is where the freedom lies. This God whom we talk about so often... He is everything. I don't think we'll ever fully understand that until heaven, but for now, take a second look.


...despite everything, I think today is gonna be hard to get through. I'm really tired, and I've got alot of work to get done. Late night last night, and after giving my brothers car another boost earlier this morning, I haven't been back to sleep. :oS
Anyway... I need to spend some time in my bible this morning.
