Well, life has been crazy here, how bout ya'll? (That's my new found Oklahoman Slang ;))

I survived my first university supervisor visit 2 Fridays ago. Tim Rippstein came down from Concordia and evaluated my work and I got two free meals that day! WOO! Overall, it was painless and very affirming.

Then this past monday-wednesday I went to a churchworker's conference for our district. I grew so much from those three days. One thing in particular struck me and so I'm going to share it here... like it or not.

The speaker, Rich Bromfield, said that we need to have empty hands that we present to our Lord. If our hands are full of our own stuff, we can't serve him properly. If we continue to present empty, willing hands ready for service, he'll continue to fill them with blessing after blessing.

Give us clean hands,
Give us pure hearts
Let us not turn our souls to another
God Let us be a generation that seeks
That seeks your face oh God of Jacob
Oh God let us be a generation that seeks
That seeks your face oh God of Jacob
Give us clean hands,
Give us pure hearts
Let us not turn our souls to another.
