this morning Rob and I were worshipping together in a time of rations.

He's worshipping with guitar and singing and as always, is swept right into the Holy Presence. I've been more reluctant to jump into the flow, but instead am captivated bu all the photos on our wall. There's a lot of history there, even if it hasn't been years and years - so, recollecting people and places - the steps of the Carnegie, Street Church, re:Cre8, radio station cafe, that Indian restaurant in Tinseltown, Granville Street, the skytrain, the Empress, Heatley Residence, the Bottle Depot, Harbourlight, Homestead...

In considering all of that, and looking at Rob, I realized that he's sitting on top of a great pile of experience and accomplishment. He is a great man - not because of who he is, but for his obedience to the Lord and his willingness to walk through the hard places just to please God...yup, there's a lot under his belt.

And under mine too.

Then God brought this eye-opener:
How can the devil convince me that i am nothing, have nothing to offer and am doing nothing when I have already done many things?

No...I am the sum of more than the past 6 months, 9 months or 1 year. London, Vancouver, London, Charlotte and beyond..as the Lord calls.
