welcome to my zone. this is where i place my thoughts, whenever i think they're worth thinking about. being my senior year of high school, life is quite busy, and i won't be posting as often as i'd like to be. also, if you don't mind, send up a little prayer for me every now and then, that God would strengthen me against the powers and temptations of satan and give me wisdom in this seemingly critical time of my life.
the Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance on you and give you peace.(numbers 6:24-26 nasb)

Of Humility and A New Perspective
You should read this: Humility Comes Before Honor - by Kristy Dahms. I believe this is the essence of being hiddeninsignificance. It is good to have a new perspective on topics such as this one.
when the day is closing in / like the stars in the night i am falling / into the pull of the earth and it's affection / in me, oh Lord, can you create / a pure heart 'cause i'm afraid / that i just might run back to the things i hate ~ tenth avenue north
This blessing is only for you if you accept it upon yourself. When accepting it, be prepared for . . . Transformation.
May God bless you with a restless discomfort about easy answers, half-truths and superficial relationships, so that you may seek truth boldly and love deep within your heart.
May God bless you with holy anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may tirelessly work for justice, freedom, and peace among all people.
May God bless you with the gift of tears to shed with those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, or the loss of all that they cherish, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and transform their pain into joy.
May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you really CAN make a difference in this world, so that you are able, with God’s grace, to do what others claim cannot be done.
And the blessing of God the Supreme Majesty and our Creator, Jesus Christ the Incarnate Word who is our brother and Saviour, and the Holy Spirit, our Advocate and Guide, be with you and remain with you, this day and forevermore.
