Ten on Tuesday A

1. Analyst Catalyst - He posted something on his blog that really impacted me the other day. It was the perfect thing at the perfect time. And it ended with this: " They also serve who only stand and wait." - John Milton. I tend to be a little impulsive and will pick things up, and RUN with them when I don't necessarily know where I am going. It also brought to mind a verse that sounded different this time then it ever has before.
Isaiah 40:30-31 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
How much work does hoping take? Can you say to anyone, "I'm sorry, I can't help, I'm really overwhelmed with hoping right now."
If I choose to stand and wait in the hope of the Lord, I won't need to run, He'll help me soar.

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. Psalm 27:14

2. Ampersands - I am so thankful that my life hasn't had a period on the end of it. When one part of my life has ended (for good or bad reasons) God has always provided something else.

3. Anaconda - The first scary movie I ever saw! I thought I was so brave watching those huge snakes swallow those people whole!

4. Archie - I used to love those comics growing up. We had the old ones that had amazing Christian application and an article on how to become a Christian in the back of them.

5. Apparently - I use this word way to much, but it make me feel smart so I am quite thankful for it.

6. Ankles - I mean really, without them, we would have to hobble!!

7. Actions - Have you ever seen the movie or play "My Fair Lady"? Well there is a song in it that I love, it called Show Me. And I completely agree with it, on several levels. I'd much prefer people not say anything if they aren't going to follow through, myself included.



So I am very thankful when I do see peoples actions follow up their words.



8. Anthropologie - It just such a beautiful place to wander, not buy, just wander.

9. Ambiguous Cloud People - Their music is amazing, it just really speaks to me. OK not really. They don't really exist. But the dream of them exist. It's the band that I would be in, if I had the talent to start a band and/or write music.

10. Amazement - I am continually amazed by God, nature, people, pretty much all of the nouns. And out of all of the feelings, this is one of the best.
