Phil 4:19. "And my God will meet ALL your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus."  ALL 

Okay so, i really need to snap out of this "chill mode" that i've been stuck in.  It has been sooo hard to do anything productive lately.  I don't know if my mind just thinks that school is done or what... but its not, and if i don't start paying attention my grades are gonna start dropping.  Its not like I care that much about grades, but i think its kinda dumb to work hard and keep an A in every class for 11 weeks and then just stop caring at the end of the semester.  ugh. 

Thursday, May 4 is going to be such a strange day.  I have my two hardest finals back to back, and i'm sure by Thursday I will be so sick of classes and studying.  But then, as soon as those finals are done, I know I'm going to wish that the semester wasn't over.  It is going to be soooo hard to pack up and move out.  I know I'm going to be crying when I leave.  I didn't really get sad when I left Tremont for school, but I knew that those people and my home were still there and I would be back every few weeks.  But now, I'm leaving this place and most of these people for about 3 and a half months!!! Plus, when i come back i'll be living in a different building with a different roommate.  And i'm really excited about living w/ Rebekah in Ford... but I'm gonna miss living w/ Laila in Andrews.....  ohhh sadness.... 

Ok well I have to go to inductive now

Our Weakness, His Strength

Oh Lord, my Lord, my Savior, my God, my Strength.

You promised - they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not grow weary, they shall walk and not faint, You promised!

But I--I am tired, and my eyes are failing me. I trip, I stumble, I fall. Too often, too hard. I am weak, too weak. I cannot lift my head.

But you said... My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect... in weakness... therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness... so that Christ's power may rest on me.

I want to know you, really know you, to allow you to sit on my throne. You know it is the desire of my heart, to fulfill the call--your call!

I wonder if I heard you? Really heard you... or if it was just--

No! It is the desire of my heart to--   my heart....

Oh God, my God I feel broken, bruised. I question, doubt, fear. I feel low, dispensable, insignificant, small.  I am without inspiration, joy, hope. I am alone

You promised that you would never leave me.  You promised that you would be my comfort. That from the love of God--that from the reckless, raging fury, nothing could separate me. Nothing.  Nothing can separate me from the love of God.

Melt me. Restore me. You are the lifter of my head, my strength, my salvation. You are the light of my eyes, the truth, the way.  You are the gentle whisper, the still, the small voice.

Touch me again. Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me.

It is the desire of my heart.

Just Some Thoughts....

"In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands.  They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment.  Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded.  But You remain the same, and Your years will never end."
Psalm 102:25-27

I read this in my devotions this morning.  It just reminded me that the choice is ours each day: to live for a world that will be discarded like old clothes, or for an eternal God who will never change... and then I started thinking, how can I live for eternity, like day to day. and how is a life lived for eternity different from a life lived for this world? It's really interesting to chew on things like this.... we can know a lot and talk a lot, but actually living it out and putting things into practice is a day by day effort.  i just think its so easy to get caught up in our own agendas without stopping to consider what God is wanting to do in us and through us every day.... and He does want to work in our lives... He wants to be in every part of our lives.... the question is, will we let Him in?

Another thought....."And this is what I'm glad to do, It's time to live a life of LOVE that pleases YOU" -- this is a great song by the way.... its just like the service at my church on Sunday... Love for God spilling over into love for others should be our motivation for all the good that we do. And it is only when God is working through us that we'll be able to produce fruit! I think I'm beginning to learn (well, be reminded anyway) that in ministry one of the most important things to pray for is love and more love, for God and for the people that you come into contact with.  After all, "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging symbol" etc. (1 Corinithians 13:1-3) Life is really all about love. (ha, so appropriate for Valentine's day.. lol.. right..) Seriously, God's love for us, our love for God, and our showing God's love to others pretty much covers the whole Christian life (John 3:16, John 15:9-13, I John 4:11)

Ok, I have a headache so I gotta stop.... have a great day (or night) everyone!
