6:01.

i'm excited for tonight. "i get to brag on my savior a little bit." chandler says that at times and i love the heart behind it. i love to preach. and that's an understatement. i love how when i get to teach, He really teaches me the whole time. i need that. wednesdays can often be the longest days, but they're always at the top of the most fruitful. don't misunderstand me, i'm not complaining at all. it's a huge blessing. love it. from one-on-one meetings with brothers, to seeing 10 high school gals gather together at 7am to simply study the Word, to everyone coming together to sing to and hear from the One at the end of the day. and please know that i know i'm not the One. i'm not good. but He sure is. i've been reading and re-reading the part in Scripture (john 15) where Jesus tells us that apart from Him we can do nothing. i always hear that. but, it's different to sit and think about it. i pray that He becomes more and more in me what I cannot be. i really want that. i mean really. tonight, we're starting through titus. good name. good book. lots to dig out. it's paul's letter to titus. i love how paul watches over him. even calls him his true son. fyi...he's not physically his kid. but spiritually, they're just that close. paul showed titus the beauty of jesus and brought him along as a disciple. and soon after, titus becomes a missionary with him. discipleship? yes. and now we find titus in crete. paul had to keep moving on without him for a time and this letter is paul's way of saying, "i'm still here for you...how are ya kid?" crete's a town that desperately needs the God titus loves. and paul is shooting him a quick note to remind him of a couple of things. one of those things being his mission and how it's impossible to accomplish that on his own. we can forget that pretty quick. i tend to forget that so fast. it's not about me. He's got the limitless power. it's about me being desperate for it. the question is, am i? apart from Him we can do nothing. but with Him...
