Epitome of Epiphanies
So I was sitting on the can (of soup) yesterday ---> har har har, get it? CAN of soup?
(I diverge...)
I figured out how I would know the girl I meet will be "the one". I'll know she's "the one" when I fall in love with her spiritual life before I'm enamored by her physical appearance. I pray that God will "blind" me from seeing her good-looking-ness (until due time) so that I can focus on her spiritual beauty. Well...at least...that's my theory until proven otherwise. Dang it...I despise it when the wintery season rolls around...cause those "lovey-dovey" feelings keep coming back. I'm reminded of the movie Serendipity...skating at the ice rink, hot chocolate, Christmas tree, snuggling up by a fireplace, late night bing chee ling binges...
"Heaven is not a state of mind, heaven is reality itself. For all that can be shaken will be shaken...and only the unshakeable remains."
When God is all you have, you have all you need.

Will You Be There
Skillet
As I fall to sleep
Will you comfort me
When my heart is weak
Will you rescue me
Will you be there
As I grow cold
Will you be there when I'm falling down
Will you be there
My heart grows cold
Will you be there when I'm falling down
When I'm in retreat
Can I run to you
Will my pain release
At your mercy seat
Are you saying so
oh, I gotta believe it
Are you saying yeah
When your love comes down I can rest my eyes
Feel your grace and power flood into my life
As my brokenness and your strength collide
When your love comes down
Falling Down

Below is an excerpt from today's ODB devotions:
In Genesis 24:16, we are told that Rebekah was "very beautiful to behold." But physical beauty was not the crucial point for Eliezer, the servant of Abraham, who was sent to find a wife for Isaac.
Eliezer's prayer gives us an important clue about the kind of beauty he sought for his master's son: "Let it be that the young woman to whom I say, 'Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,' and she says, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink' - let her be the one" (v.14).
Common courtesy could have prompted Rebekah to provide drinking water for a stranger, but to water camels was a different matter entirely. Ten thirsty camels could drink up to 210 gallons. Rebekah clearly had a servant's heart.
The Bible tells us that Rebekah was beautiful, but it says much more about the beauty of her character. "Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised" (Proverbs 31:30).

12 People + 1 spring box = snap, crackle, pop...oh my lentes!
7.5 more weeks to go!
It's kinda sad...my supervisor agreed with me when I told her that anyone with half a brain could do my job. It's true, I feel the other half of my brain slowly rotting away, decaying into the abyss of stupidity.
"All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. No one calls on your name or strive to lay hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us and made us waste away because of our sins. Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. Do not be angry beyond measure, O LORD; do not remember our sins forever. Oh, look upon us, we pray, for we are all your people." [Isaiah 64:7-9]
