Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

I Am Weak, But Thou Art Strong

Just a Closer Walk With Thee

I am weak, but Thou art strong;
Jesus, keep me from all wrong;
I’ll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.

Refrain:
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

Through this world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.


When my feeble life is o’er,
Time for me will be no more;
Guide me gently, safely o’er
To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

2 Corinthians 13:4 "For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you."

Tim is getting stronger every day!  And, it is only by God's grace that he is!  Thank You, Lord!  

He still needs plenty of rest!  We went to church tonight and he read the missionary letter, made a few announcements, read the prayer list and prayed (his voice is stronger, too).  That was a lot of standing.  By the time the service was over, he was wiped out.  It took him all of 2 seconds after getting in the house to crash into his recliner.

Friday is his regular oncology appointment.  Next Tuesday is the day for the gamma knife radiation treatment.  That will be all day and will totally wipe him out.....me, too!  And then on the 9th of June is the first doctor visit after the brain surgery.  Keep praying that the double vision goes away!  The sooner it does, the better he will get along!

Doesn't he look great?!  Thank You, Lord!
Tim is feeling well enough that he wants to try and venture out to our thrift stores tomorrow!  WOW!
