- Relationship with God is a recreation of life. Every person it has touched it has transformed. The old is made new. The new is made beautiful. The ugly filth of our sinfulness is present as perfect, spotless, purity before the throne of God. It is a claiming. We are helplessly wallowing in our sin, clinging to it and washing ourselves in its grime. Then we are chosen. We are taken out of the pit of despair and set on the solid ground of love. We are washed clean in the crimson blood of His sacrifice. It happens once. It happens for eternity.
- Relationship with God is the beauty of everyday grace. It is the painful, slow and stumbling process of sanctification. We turn and fish in the scum ponds we came from, searching for goodness inside our selves. He takes us by the hand again and says “turn around! I have prepared a feast for you!” And sometimes, when we keep running back to it, he lets us take a big bite of our catch of the day and taste what we are really made of. Always he is standing beside us, like the loving father holding out his arms as his baby learns to walk. Only the learning never ends. And every time we think we’ve finally changed it is only to realize we’ve learned enough to see how very much further we have to go!
- Relationship with God is relationship with others. It is serving together like Paul and Timothy. It is giving of ourselves like Lydia, Epaphrodites and the Philippian Jailer. Sometimes it is learning to love those you would rather not be around, as Euodia and Synthyche now know. Always, it is giving glory to God, sharing his blessings with every man who might be your neighbor and worshiping him with every precious and ordinary moment.
- Relationship with God is eternal. It is our song in the dark of prison; it is our hope in the daylight drudgeries. It is our joy in suffering; it is our prayer in anxiety. It is our peace which surpasses understanding, time, and space, and pressing forward sheds its light on eternity.

from C.S. Lewis
The more we get what we call 'ourselves' out of the way and let Him take over, the more truly ourselves we become. In that sense our real selves are all waiting for us in Him...
"But there must be a real giving up of the self. You must throw it away 'blindly' so to speak. Christ will indeed give you a real personality: but you must not go to Him for the sake of that. As long as your own personality is what you are bothering about, you are not going to Him at all. The very first step is to try to forget about self altogether. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favorite wishes every day and death of your body - in the end submit with every fibre of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him and with Him everything else thrown in.
- a quote from his book Beyond Personality that I read in Elisabeth Elliot's Secure in the Everlasting Arms.

It was a day of adventure
So, to start it all off we drove 4 hours all over New Jersey. Of course we did this simply to see the sights and meet new people (or should I say new person - a friendly gas station attendant) and not at all because we were lost. See everything we do is for some obvious, or perhaps more hidden purpose. Upon arrival at our destination we were greeting by sandy white beaches and the roaring praises of the ocean. It was the first time I've seen the ocean that I can remember. Though I do remember tasting it - that hasn't changed. Gross. The waves were great! We didn't go in much past our ankles but we were swept off our feet more than once by the power of them! It puts me in awe... the ocean is such a beautiful, heartless, testimony of power! It would take your life in an instant and feel no shame. But it would be still as glass at a mere word from it's Commander. How can we not fear a God that great... and yet we feel so safe and protected in that knowledge?
I have never seen jellyfish before. They are so interesting! They are literally solid gel when they wash up on shore. There were piles of them! Assuming, of course that these actually were jellyfish... it's what they looked like. They glittered and sparkled and if I didn't know better (or touch them) I would have thought they were glass.
I have a confession... I have been holding out on you. I have not yet shared with you the absolute highlight of our day. I don't want to completely overwhelm you. But maybe I will. Are you ready for this?
Are you SURE you're ready for this?
dum dum de dum
Collected Writings of John Murray Vol. 2 Systematic Theology.
Best nap I ever had.
OOOPS did I just say that?
All joking aside, over the last couple of days I have developed a huge amount of respect for the riches of systematic theology that we are blessed with, and the men who wrote it all. I also have great respect for people who read it. :-P
But of course this is speaking from my own limited and sleepy experience, and I really really do appreciate the kind of groundwork that has been laid for what we believe.
I hope and pray that God will continue the open my mind and heart to digest and then practically apply all this wealth of information.
P.S. We made it home in 2 hrs. And we only got lost once. OOOPS did I just say that?

Psalm 16:11
I walk barefoot
the earth's sensations
reality under my feet
hard-soft
warm-cold
smooth-rough
I watch the ground ahead
every step is carefully chosen.
I run
I don't feel the ground anymore
the only sensations
my heartbeat
and the echo of my breathing
My surroundings blur
I see only the finish
I slow down
my legs are wobbly
my head is thrown back
the breezes whisper secrets
the treetops tremble and raise their hands
It is dusk
I still stand here
as darkness falls on my reverie
I am groping blindly
when He touches me
wrapping my hand in His
I follow
one step at a time
the earth's sensations
reality under my feet
hard-soft
warm-cold
smooth-rough
I watch the ground ahead
every step is carefully chosen.
I run
I don't feel the ground anymore
the only sensations
my heartbeat
and the echo of my breathing
My surroundings blur
I see only the finish
I slow down
my legs are wobbly
my head is thrown back
the breezes whisper secrets
the treetops tremble and raise their hands
It is dusk
I still stand here
as darkness falls on my reverie
I am groping blindly
when He touches me
wrapping my hand in His
I follow
one step at a time
...and He is glorified.
I guess there is something good about having absolutely no social life -it forces you to spend more time thinking. And drinking tea. And eating fudge. :-)
Believe me there is lots to think about. Everywhere I turn I am bombarded with information about theology, about anthropology, sociology, psychology, Christology... pretty much any "ology" you can think of. More than that, it's a lot of information about self. About service. Understanding. What it means to love your brother. My classmate put it well when he said "Professor, everything you say is great, but there is so much sometimes it's hard to know what we are supposed to do with it all!" Not only how to organize it into our worldview, but how to live it without hypocrisy. I feel like I need 10 years of counseling before I could even begin with anyone else! And yet the more I hear, the more I am overwhelmed, and the more need I see for the body of Christ to be just that -a body! And the more I wonder, just what is wisdom? Where does knowledge flow into understanding, understanding into action? How can sinners minister to sinners? And I see more and more the beauty of the cross. The ugliness of torture, pain and death -and yet the most beautiful thing that could touch our lives. Not only touch our life, but consume it, control it, motivate it, energize it and even use it! It's as if the water of life is inside us and it's bubbling and filling and swelling until whether we like it or not it comes spilling over all our edges, bathing everyone we meet and giving them the consciousness that here is a person who knows about love. Who knows about sin. This is an image-bearer, a grace-child.
How I wish that I could only point to Christ! Every road sign I put up says "look at me" Every beginning of inspiration and understanding is so quickly overtaken by pride, gutted of sincerity and sent forward as another tribute to the work of Heidi Luimes!
And yet somehow, miraculously, God looks at all those smelly, selfish attempts and is glorified. Not in me, but in His Son. Not in my work, but in the finished work! In the work of the cross that somehow enables us to take another feeble step forward, rejoicing in the knowledge that "He who started the work will be faithful to complete it in you."

Decisions decisions...
I was struck this week by reading the quote by John Gardner in Love’s Executioner: “Things fade, alternatives exclude.” He goes on to explain that the word “decide” actually means “slay” as in homicide or suicide. So we fear decisions because they kill other options. Every time we make a choice, we are ruling out other alternatives in the hope that what we have chosen will be the best option for us. No wonder we often stand paralyzed in the face of change! No wonder so many people are desperate to lose or gain control over their lives –to manipulate everything and everyone to their complete power, or to give themselves up to alcohol, drugs, or the
authority of whatever their problem is. Our helplessness itself then becomes a security –
we are no longer responsible for our own actions. It is choosing the freedom of slavery.
Maybe this is why people cling to the idea of re-incarnation? They want a chance to do
things over again; another swing at “the right choice.”
On the flip side, assuming responsibility also gives us freedom. Deciding to trust God
slays our fears. Deciding to love an enemy slays bitterness. Deciding to take on the new
man of Christ slays the slavery of self, and releases us to the captivity of love. It is
another freedom, and yet another slavery. I am secured by the boundaries of love, of law
and of grace and yet my sin is removed as far from me as the east is from the west! I give up control and assume action. I relinquish guilt and take on motivation, love, joy and thanksgiving. What a glorious prison is mine! What a glorious freedom is mine!

From "Suffering and Psalm 119" -David Powlison
So what does it mean, then, to say, "I keep Your word" (119:17)?
The obvious example is obedience to specific commandments. You keep "Do not commit adultery" by not committing adultery.
How do you keep other, different sorts of words, e.g. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"? You keep such words by believing, by remembering, by changing how you look at everything.
Our psalm keeps Genesis 1 by affirming to God, "You established the earth, and it stands. All things are Your servants." That's faith in action and out loud.
You keep His words when you are looking at a goldfinch or a thunderstorm, and you see creatures, dependents, servants -not merely an avian organism, not merely a weather event that means a cold front is coming through -and you praise their maker.
You keep Genesis 1 by remembering that you, too, are a creature and dependent, whose purposes are accountable to your maker. You are not merely your resume, or your feelings, or your web of relationships, or your bank account, or your self-talk, or your plans, or your life-shaping experiences. Our psalm says, "Your hands made me and fashioned me. I am Yours."

Day by day...and with each passing moment
God has overwhelmed us with His blessing and the unsearchable riches of His grace.
Praise Him for His faithfulness to us!
The last few days have not been without their challenges- moving across the country is definitely an overwhelming thing, even if it is only for a little while. It feels like we have been gone for a really long time already, and Miriam and I have both been strongly reminded of just how blessed we are by our wonderful families and friends - we miss you all so much!!
It is very interesting living with your best friend. Your differences become more clear, as do your similarities. We have said the exact same thing at the exact same time at least 10 times if not more -it is a little frightening! :-) But we are having great fun together.
The first day of classes was really good. It was a little overwhelming going over the courses in the introduction. We will both be taking James 1:5 to heart: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."
We spent most of yesterday outside at a local park (beautiful place!) studying. It took me 6 hours to get through the prologue and chapter 1 of Love's Executioner and write a 1/2 page on it. I felt like my brain was stretched in every direction. It was a fantastic feeling. I am very excited about where this year is going to take Miriam and I... it will be challenging, but so worthwhile.
Miriam and I were both dreading this morning, missing our own wonderful church and preaching. As it turned out, we went to a little Reformed Presbyterian church that Deanna was part of during the last few months of our studies. It was such a blessing. It is a really small church, and quite frankly the friendliest church I have ever seen. We felt so welcomed and even had the opportunity to share lunch with the congregation afterwards. (Which was good since we don't have much food in the house at the moment :-)) Their service was also excellent, the Pastor was very easy to listen to and present the truth of the gospel in a direct, clear and poignant way. They have no instruments in their singing, (which I will miss) and they sing all Psalms, but they sing from their hearts and with beautiful harmonies. I will still miss our wonderful church, but it is such a comfort to know we will not be missing the ability to gather in wholehearted worship with the people of God!!
This has been very long winded already, but I also just wanted to share with you something I read in Elisabeth Elliots book "Secure in the Everlasting Arms" this morning. It is on being content.
"To love God is to love His will. It is to wait quietly for life to be measured out by One who knows us through and through. It is to be content with His timing and His wise apportionment (Do I feel that my portion is too much of something? Tooo little of something else?). It is to follow in the steps of the Master, as did Paul, who was able to say that he had learned contentment no matter what the curcumstances. His circumstances when he wrote that? Prison! No easy lesson, but "great gain," which is the sum of godliness plus contentment (see 1 Timothy 6:6).
Jesus loved the will of His Father. He embraced the limitations, the necessities, the conditions, the very chains of his humanity as he walked and worked here on earth, fulfilling moment by moment His divine commission and the stern demands of His incarnation. Never was there a word or even a look of complaint. E.B. Pusey (1800-1882) suggested rules for those who wish to gain contentment that surely reflects Jesus' own attitude.
1. Allow thyself to complain of nothing, not even the weather.
2. Never picture thyself to thyself under any circumstances in which thou art not.
3. Never compare thine own lot with that of another.
4. Never allow thyself to dwell on the wish that this or that had been, or were, otherwise than it was, or is. God Almighty loves thee better and more wisely than thou doest thyself.
5. Never dwell on the morrow. Remember that it is God's not thine. The heaviest part of sorrow is often to look forward to it. "The Lord will Provide." "
What a humbling list! I know I have broken every single one of these things more than once in the last few days. Yet God is gracious! May He continue to teach us more and more every day.
So that is my lengthy update, now I want to hear all about your life! Please comment and tell me what you are up to, how your day was... etc.
I love you all!
Praise Him for His faithfulness to us!

To my sweet Family and Friends.
I think I forgot how awesome you all are. :-) I can't wait to see you again.
The adventure has gone incredibly smooth. For those of you thinking of visiting us, DO! The drive down was absolutely gorgeous. Lots of rolling hills and great views. Everything went really well, we did have to go in at the border because they have a policy that international visitors/students need to get fingerprints and photos taken, but that didn't take too long at all. It was definitely a beautiful day. We arrived in Philly around 8, and were welcomed with a totally delicious supper by our new landlady, Becky Wilson. She has been very sweet to us and has done an amazing job at making our new home a welcoming place to be. The apartment is small, but it is super cozy and feels a lot bigger than it is. We had fun making it our own and getting our groceries together. :-)
It has definitely been a little overwhelming over all. I think I was just too busy planning and doing all kinds of other things to really realize that we were leaving for such a long time, and when it all sunk in it produced more than a few sniffles. That combined with some sort of allergy, (most likely the cats our landlady keeps) have left me with a red nose and a lot less kleenexes. :-P It will take some getting used to but God has been very very good to us. I can't even say how glad I am to have Miriam with me here!! We will definitely be leaning on each other a good bit during the next few weeks.
School starts tomorrow! Exciting, a little scary since we are a tad under prepared, but we still have tomorrow morning to print stuff off and whatever else we need to do so everything should go well. I shall hopefully post more on that soon.
One great perk of being here, (and potentially danger) is that we live practically across from a second hand store run by a local church! I bought 1o Christian books today, 2 LOTR, 2 sheet music books, and a belt for $19! The great thing is 2 of the books were ones used in the CCEF courses! It should be interesting packing all this up when the time comes, considering we had about 5 square inches of space on the way up here... and we are constantly remembering more things we need, like coffee makers! I can't believe I forgot that single cup. No wonder I am a crybaby. lol Lizzi you are going to have to make a lot of latte's come Christmas time.
Well, I promise to do my utmost to keep in touch with you all, please help me out if you can. :-)
Love you all so much.
