faded like a leaf

Oh that You would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains might quake at Your presence--as when brushwood and the fire causes water to boil--to make your name known to your adversaries, and that the nations might tremble at Your presence!When You did awesome things that we did not look for, You came down, the mountains quaked at Your presence. From of old no one has heard or percieved by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides You, who acts for those who wait for him. You meet him who joyfuly works righteousness, those who remember You in Your ways.Behold, You were angry, and we sinned; in our sins we have been a long time, and shall we be saved?
We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.-
Isaiah 64:1-6

Today was one of those days where, everywhere i turned, every time i opened my mouth, i felt foolish. *sigh* I know it is healthy to see one's own foolishness, but it was still discouraging and frustrating. However, it was ALSO one of those days where i constantly felt the grace of God carrying me through the day, which is encouraging.

Tomorrow i leave for a mission trip to New Orleans! I am very excited :) Please be praying for me and my church group that we will be sensitive to where God is moving and that our attitudes and actions will glorify Christ.

A very happy Spring break to you all, dear ones!
