oceans 11... hlods 11.. i like that..

george clooney had a team of 11 to make off with all that money.. i just read a book that talks about 11 indispensable relationships you can't be without.. i've bought in to it..

we all know about the importance of a paul.. someone pouring into you.. but i think we put too much on that one person.. to be all things to us..

god has given us the spirit.. different personalities..different giftings.. this book tells of 11 relationships that will help us grow.. based of 11 people in the bible.. the author calls them withnesses.. god's dream team for us to travel this journey with us..

so who you taking with you? "Here is life's best buddy system".. chew on it a bit..

who's your nathan: you need an editor

who's your jonathan: you need a true friend

who's your jethro: you need a butt- kicker

who's your timothy: you need a heir

who's your barnabas: you need an encourager

who's your peter/paul: you need a yoda

who's your deborah: you need a back- coverer

who's your zacchaeus: you need a reject

who's your rhoda: you need a 'little one'

who are your VIP's: you need a lydia and a lazarus

where's your jerusalem: you need a place

the invisible 12th: holy spirit on 3 :)

who you got in your corner... who you asking how goes it with your soul?

woeful

funny title for my first blog eh? this word.. woeful.. was in a hymn we sang this morning.. fairest lord jesus.. which is a great song.. but my mind got suck on this word.. woeful...

whoahful.. i understand that :).. but woeful.. as i tried to wrap my mind around it.. it seemed to capture my heart.. both words...

why woeful?
-two of my dear friends have left.. one to tenn.. one to morocco.. (i seem a bit dramatic dont i? well, you don't know my heart.. or the whole story.. ok maybe i am dramatic.. )
-i miss my family, and new england
- my sin sucks..
- the campus doesnt know jesus..

why whoahful? ha thats easy..
- im going to concert of praise- to celebrate with 8 other hcbc churches of gods faithfulness
- im his..enough said
- we're goin to reach the campus..
- two of my timothys are back..or on route
- i got final four tickets for the 4th straight year

there is more.. for both.. but as i sit next to my dog.. i know god is big.. and has my heart.. and if i go back to that hymn.. and read the other verses.. woe will turn to whoah.. holy spirit on 3.
