My View from "The Chair" this morning - Psalm 143:8. Laying in bed this morning, my eyes fell across this scripture. Closing my eyes, I pondered the simplicity of this. Listen. Trust. Walk. Sounds easy. Sounds doable. Then, as if someone had given my brain a jolt of an energy drink, my consciousness woke up and sent a hurricane of convoluted thoughts and doubts exploding across my mind. This left me just wanting to pull the covers up and disappear back into sleepland. Does this ever happen to anyone else? The battle was intense.
My View From "The Chair" - Exodus 14:13,14. Recently, okay two nights ago at 11:30 pm, I received a text from "The Precious One" saying that they were being told to slit their wrists and die. There was lots of intense drama going on where they were at. It felt like I was facing some super impossible circumstances. It felt like someone was going to loose it and murder the other one.

My view from "The Chair" this morning 2 Corinthians 3:4-6. When you say "Yes" to the adventures God has asked you to join Him in; you quickly discover how completely under qualified you are in and of yourself. When you realize this and slip your hand into His knowing that you've got nothing; you become the most usable vessel for His purposes.
My view from "The Chair" this morning (Ecc. 11:5). His ways are higher and can be trusted. He has "means" and "methods" we don't even start to understand.
