even to your old age and gray hairs
I am He.
I am He who will sustain you.
I have made you and
I will carry you;
I will sustain you and
I will rescue you.
isaiah 46:4
sustain: \sə-ˈstān\
1. to keep in existence; maintain.  2. to supply with necessities or nourishment; provide for.  3. to support from below; keep from falling or sinking; prop.  4. to support the spirits, vitality, or resolution of; encourage.

today i was made so rawfully (<<not a word ha) aware of my need for Jesus.  i feel that as we live, there is this string that is holding us together, and without it, we will fall apart.  that string is Jesus and what a beautiful thought that He sustains.. nourishes, provides for, supports, carries like an umbilical cord that holds my existence together... the world's existence.  the even more beautiful thought to me, is that it's not like it is a tied-down dread to be sustained by Him.. it is JOY.  it is my life in freedom.  it is deep peace, deep knowing, deep love. 

we need God like this tree needs it's roots, like the earth needs the sun, like we need our next breath.

    Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall,

    I’m free to love once and for all
    And even when I fall I’ll get back up
    For the joy that overflows my cup 
    Heaven filled me with more than enough
    Broke down my levees and my bluffs
    Let the flood wash me.
