| MORAL OF THE STORY: Always check the washing machine for paper towel rolls before starting it. JUST IN CASE. 
And THAT, my friends, was my evening. :) | | |
| is there anything more refreshing that eating a cucumber?
or a having a really great work out?
or finding out that you are exempt from your hardest final?
i don't think so.
Ah. It's been a good day.

| Then the Lord said,
"Because this people draw near with their words
And honor me with their lip service,
But they remove their hearts far from Me,
And their reverence for Me consists of tradition learned by rote,
Therefore I will once again deal marvelously with this people,
Wondrously marvelous;
And the wisdom of their wise men will perish,
And the discernment of their discerning men will be concealed."
Woe to those who deeply hide their plans from the Lord,
And whose deeds are done in a dark place,
And they say, "Who sees us?" or "Who knows us?"
You turn things around!
Shall the potter be considered as equal with the clay,
That what is made would say to its maker,
"He did not make me";
Or what is formed say to him who formed it,
"He has no understanding"?
Isaiah 29:13-16
I don't want to work on "loving" Jesus more.
I want to press into Him and be so captivated by Him that I cannot help but have everything in my life flow from worshipping Him.

| I'm not going to lie.
In the past 20 hours, I think i finally let my heart connect with my brain. And it resulted in the overwhelming realization of how hard things have been lately.
It's as if I've just glossed over it for so long. But it hurts. I want to go forward or backward. But I don't want to stay here. I'm tired of waiting.
And yet... here i am.
HERE.
Not in the past. Not in the future. I am here.
God is bigger than what I think is going on right now. He can see the bigger picture, and I can't.
I know all of this. Yet it's still so hard. And for some reason I feel compelled to detatch myself from those things that I love so much for the time being. For right now, they are not mine to hold. And yet, is that the right thing to do? Or is that merely running away? Oh man..
Perseverance.
I'm trusting.
But it's still so hard.
You are God still
Even in trial
You are my rock
And You will not falte
I will hold on
Knowing You're faithful
Clinging to You
In all I go through
I need you
Oh I seek you
Oh I want you
For You are LIFE TO ME.........
Oh You are God still
Though the mountains may crumble
You do not waver
Nor get tossed by the storm
Though Your face may be hidden
You do not leave me
You are God still
You are God still
Just needed to put some of that on paper...

| It's been a very long and unique sort of day.
Stopped several times throughout the day and just stood where I was and looked around me-- basking in the beauty of God's creation. I'm sure I looked like a moron, but hey, I do kinda crazy stuff as a lover of Jesus. the clouds were amazing today. I had such a longing to oil paint.
My afternoon was spent on the "porch" of a dear friend, digging into the books and writing papers in the warm breezy shade. It was fabulous. Plus I had crackers, chocolate, and a banana with me. You can't top that.
Stumbled across some wonderful verses in Numbers while doing my Old Testament reading in the coffee shop. God's beauty and character are so overwhelming to me. I don't get Him.
Witnessed God completely turn around a situation that I had just left in His hands.
He's just good like that.
"The Lord is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindess, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations. " Numbers 14:18
The Lord God is HOLY, and is not to be toyed with.
and that, my friends, is all i've got for this evening.
