HE Is...

I was cleaning out the picture folder on  my computer this morning...anticipating the move to the new office in The Woodlands.  I found a couple pictures from Worship on The River in Alexandra, LA.  I think it was a God-thing that I stumbled onto these pictures today.  The last few days it has seemed that my life is full of chaos.  In the middle of taking up tile in our house, an AC drainage pipe in our attic got clogged and flooded the upstairs bathroom...sending the ceiling caving in all the way down to the living room on the bottom story.  Its a mess.  While I'm thankful the new carpet wasn't in yet, my house was already a mess because all the furniture is moved and all my pretty things are boxed up.  Everywhere you look there is concrete with leftover grout stuck to it.  Its ugly.  Now when I sit on the sofa (which is sitting at a weird angle in the formal living room LOL) I can stare up into a nice big hole in the ceiling.  *huge sigh*  Plus, the move to the new firm is coming up...less money = more budgeting.  *another big sigh*  Its really hard for me to feel peace in the midst of chaos.  So, that's why I think seeing this picture today was a total God-thing.



Do you see that???  Right up at the corner in ALL CAPS, underlined letters???  GOD is...PEACE.

Are you getting my point now? I'm sure that many of you don't even remember the days of Aaron Jeoffrey, but I'm old and I do remember LOL Since seeing that old photo the words of a song they sang keep running through my mind:

In the Revelation, He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords

He is, He is, HE IS!

The Prince of peace
The Son of man
The Lamb of God
The Great I Am
He's the Alpha and Omega
Our God and our Savior
He is Jesus Christ the Lord
And when time is no more
He is, HE IS!

He is...so many things to so many people.  Here's one more photo...just more reminders of who God is. 


I'll leave you now that I'm feeling really small and realizing He is...more than enough - for you and for me.  He supplies all our needs...

  1. Beautiful post. I go back a lot further than you and couldn't help but recall the choir song, "God Is." One of my old favorites.
