A look back

A little bit of my thoughts from this morning:

How could I even think about running away from that which gives me so much life? Not in a super spiritual way, but honestly; Jesus is life. The words he speaks brings hope to my wretched sould

I love seeing pages filled with red. The words he speaks fly off the page as if he's trying to catch my attention: "These words you can trust my dear." The black words are good, but the red ones...oh the red ones....I'm beginning to love you again.

I've learned a lot this semester......one that just was brought to the forefront of my mind today is this:

"Coming to the Word with an agenda does me nothing....I must come, begging my Lord to have mercy on me...to even allow me to understand an inch of the limitless depth of His word.

That's all friends...thanks for being patient with me!

Excerpts from "The List"

So, I've been thinking lately about a lot of different things, and one thing that has come to mind is some things that I want to do during my life. I thought I'd share just some of the things that I desire to do:

• Visit all 50 states in the U.S.
• Go on a short-term missions trip
• Travel to Europe and explore the old cities
  
• Read 12 books in one year (this is a feat!)
• Go a year without having a television in my home

This is just a few of the things, but I find freedom in just writing these things down. It's like saying to Him: "here they are...now do with them what you desire...." Oh Lord...please do with them as you desire...

Until next time....

Truth

So I'm starting this blog thing.....I think it'll be good. I'm going to try to express my feelings more in writing, and so this is a start. Don't be upset if I never update it...I'm just not that into these type of things. I'll update it occasionally. Be patient with me my friends.

Currently: I'm learning how to truly know God. How to know Him for who He is and how to be satisfied with Him and only Him. I'm excited to begin this "journey" if you will.
