there are somethings about the heart we can't explain.  i'm filling out this spiritual survey as best as i could and i find myself moved by how much you've changed me all these years. joy and gladness wells up in my heart as i think, hey, i look like You. and I want to look more and more like You.  i'm thankful that He's been watching over me so well that I get to carry His heart. He entrusted me with all these people- teach me to love your people well. His heart is the best thing in me. it is good when our hearts align together. never felt so alive. You are life. these good things, your inheritance. You've given me so much that I may be more like You.  and you remind me still it's the relationship between You and Your people that's what's most important to you.  love for one another is to remember that when i speak, when i pray, when i think- it's that You speak, that You intercede, and that You think about us.

teach me your ways O God.  i want to live a life with reverence for You. it's a life being in love with You. it's beautiful.  it's pure. it protects, hopes, trusts, perseveres, and never, ever. counts the cost.

like the watchmen wait, I will wait on You
