Thirst

Much love to you all-- you're always in my thoughts and prayers-- i mean it, it's not just something nice i'm saying-- shannon, God's best for you as you seek Him everyday and find new mercy and new life and love, the glorious riches of what he has planned for you!!! It's beyond anything you could ask or imagine! I won't be back in NY til august 17, so i won't be able to come to see you off-- otherwise, i'd so be there. Oh, and Sarah is my older (and wiser) sister-- ariel is the one coming to wheaton next year. I love you Sarah!!! I can't wait to see you-- God loves you so much and he has so much planned for you. He loves your sweet heart of tender devotion to Him, trusting Him even though you can't see or understand what he's doing-- Getting to know Him is the only way we can make it through the type of tests Job went through, where he had absolutely no explanation whatsoever, and still refused to give up on God. We need to know the character of the One who's testing us or we won't pass the test!! Sarah you've so powerfully illustrated that principle to me and to so many others-- Wow, what God can do with just one heart simply devoted to Him, loving Him for Him, saying God it doesn't matter what I do or where I go, if only I can have you, I'll be satisfied.
John, God loves you too, so much-- keep it simple, it's as simple as loving God and loving people-- don't let religious people rob you of the awesome gifts God's given you-- it's not about what man is doing, it's about what God is doing-- I want to be there with HIM!!!! LET'S GO!!!
The God we serve is amazing... Paul, if you're there, let me know what's up-- give me an email or whatever- you know the address. I love you bro... Did we get the apt??
Ok folks, later for now... God i want to stand free and clear in your presence, nothing hindering the flow of your love in and through me-- whatever you show me and convict me of, without hesitation i will surrender it to you-- it is no sacrifice, because my life is yours and i have no rights-- You are my destiny, you are my life, you are my everything. It's a joy and a privilege to know you, simply because of who you are---
Go with God everyone-- love to you all...
