reverse kingdom
Lord, high and holy, meek and lowly,
Thou has brought me to the valley of vision,
where I live in the depths but see thee in the heights;
hemmed in by mountains of sin I behold
Let me learn by paradox
that the way down is the way up,
that to be low is to be high,
that the broken heart is the healed heart,
that the contrite spirit is the rejoicing spirit,
that the repenting soul is the victorious soul,
that to have nothing is to possess all,
that to bear the cross is to wear the crown,
that to give is to receive,
that the valley is the place of vision.
Lord, in the daytime stars can be seen from deepest wells,
deepest wells,
and the deeper the wells the brighter
thy stars shine;
Let me find thy light in my darkness,
Thy life in my death,
that every good work or thought found in me
thy joy in my sorrow,
thy grace in my sin,
thy riches in my poverty
thy glory in my valley.
valley of vision

and it takes me more than a month to respond to your comment... oops, but thanks for the comment anyways! :)
I really appreciated and felt challenged by Irresistible Revolution. I want to read through it again, just because I think more things would sink in that way... and I reallllly want to read Jesus for President. One of my friends and I are swapping books this summer and she has that one right now, so I'm hoping I can grab it soon. I just find myself asking a lot of questions and I think these books are goooood.
about clinicals, I am in rotation 1, or A or whatever. It starts with Med/Surg, then goes to Maternity/Women's Health.
oh, and I like reading your/Erin's blog... Thinking of you and the people you interact with at every moment! For His Glory alone!!
dude...I *love* the Valley of Vision prayer...!
