I think this would make an amusing t-shirt slogan:
I eat cereal for the free toys

It just isn't. No matter what happens, don't let happiness be the judging factor. It's not dependable. It's not realistic. It's not enough.

A higher view

Prod me with Your loving hands,
Stir me from my deep impasse.
I long to flee this stagnant rut;
My soul, my prison, deadened lot,
Which end is just to taste Your wrath;
So set me on the narrow path.
Thorns and thistles may line this road
But it leads me to the mutual abode.
Lift me up with Your mighty hand
Above this frenzied earthly land.
Set me on the mount to see
What the world can offer me;
Till I see the vanity from on high
And earthly desires I bid goodbye
And set my eyes on You.

There is something higher here. I want to see this vision.

I'm surprised I haven't shared this song yet. The first time I sang it was at a collage age small group meeting. For the longest time, I only remembered how to sing the first two lines. I was so happy to see it posted so I could learn the entire song. It is very sweet that touches the matter of our hearts and having more faith. Thank You Lord, You are always waiting for me to turn back to You.

He went through the process

Christ has put on human nature and become a man like me,
He has died upon the cross that I from Adam might be free,
He has risen and as Spirit He has come to live in me
That He might be my life.

Chorus
Glory! glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! glory! Hallelujah!
For Christ is now my life!

Vict’ry! vict’ry! Hallelujah!
Vict’ry! vict’ry! Hallelujah!
Vict’ry! vict’ry! Hallelujah!
For Christ is now my all!

We sang this during the weekend conference. Hope to memorize it. Real glory is the Lord.

Well I somewhat accidentally updated the blog skin; still customizing here and there, but for now it'll work.

Never hurts to ask. You never know what the response might be.

Unexpected is right.
