My Heart, My Soul says YES!!!
Wow! We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto!!
So here I am guest posting on Matt's blog...YIKES!! Probably, he shouldn't have trusted me...
About our long week-end...
we have talked, laughed, questioned, concluded, smiled, gotten sad when we thought about good-bye, laughed some more, and mostly just loved each other. We have agreed boxers, not briefs; the cross, not anything else; freedom, not bondage; and faith, not sight. We have decided Jesus is all we need and He is more than enough! Grace has made us a family. God is SOOOO GOOOOD like that.
We watched Tyler Perry's Diary Of A Mad Black Woman and we think Orlando makes a REALLY HOT Jesus with cornrows. It gets the Campbell/Weeks "two thumbs up!"
We're not sure what tomorrow will look like but we only have to live right NOW, in this moment, and our hearts and souls are saying, "Yes!" Yes to Life, Love, and Liberty in Christ!

Grace, Grace and more Grace in Isaiah!
Isaiah 60:15-22:
"I will make you majestic forever, a joy from age to age. You shall suck the milk of nations; you shall nurse at the breast of kings; and you shall know that I, the LORD am your Savior and your Redeemer the Mighty One of Jacob.
Instead of bronze I will bring gold, and instead of iron I will bring silver, instead of wood, bronze, instead of stones, iron. I will make your overseers peace and your taskmasters righteousness. Violence shall no more be heard in your land, devastation or destruction within your borders; you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.
The sun shall be no more your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give you light; but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Your sun shall no more go down, nor your moon withdraw itself; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your days of mourning shall be ended.
Your people shall all be righteous; they shall possess the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I might be glorified. The least one shall become a clan, and the smallest one a mighty nation; I am the LORD; it its time I will hasten it. "

So Great a Salvation
I hate when I feel anxious! Ahh! One of the fruits of the Spirit is peace. I was watching Joseph Prince yesterday and he made a good point from the parable of the talents: Fear comes from a wrong perception of God. If I think God to be a hard man, I will be afraid. But if I truly know who He is, nothing will make me afraid. My righteousness is not my own, and therefore cannot be damaged. Isaiah 51:6: "But My salvation will be forever, and My righteousness will never be dismayed"
And again in Isaiah 51:11: "Everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away."
None will make us afraid (Ezekiel 34:28).
If God has justfied me, who can condemn me? Jesus has sown and I have reaped. It is not mine, but He made it mine. Who is going to take it away from me?
Jesus gives to the poor, the unworthy, the evil, the wicked, the ungodly. But He sends away the rich empty handed. "He fills the hungry with good things" and, "He has brought down the mighty from their thrones and exalted those of humble estate."
He makes humble the mountains and exalts the valleys. Jesus is the only God. There is none as beautiful as He.
