4 thoughts tonight....

4. In college, I would read bible verses and look up verses online. Now, however, I stick to the old fashioned way, by picking up a bible. This may sound silly, but I am now finding that as I flip through pages, I feel God and like I'm taking time and having a relationship with Him. Not only that, but it reminds me that no matter how technological, advanced and crazy our world gets, the Bible, and God remains the same...and is constant.

3. The bible study am I doing, gave me an incredible God lightbulb A HA moment. Beth Moore was sharing about the possibility of baggage and bondage is being passed down generationally, etc etc. So I want to change that. Direct quote from her, "I resolved to do anything and everything God willed-no matter how difficult-to make sure my two precious pups would not grow up to walk like their mother--the victim." This is something I want to take to heart. These middle schoolers may not be my children, but I am someone who carries baggage and bondage, and i wouldnt want any of them to be affected by it. Or to have their baggage and bondage themselves. As Beth said again, "I pray that if they walk like me now, they will walk wholeheartedly in liberty with God. I have found freedom right next to His side." I pray God uses me as a light for His glory.

2. I just had a sleepover last night with the east lansing middle schoolers Jocie and I lead at my house. I used to question myself as a leader, but now I know, I was made for this. :) I slept 4 hours last night, and may be in bed at 7:30 on a Sunday night, exausted, tired, however, I couldnt feel more alive, full and awake in my heart. :) Praise God.

1. Lastly, God is just so great. Im looking forward to spending each day smiling with God. Things are SO good right now, and I only pray that when things arent great, for His sake, that I will continually praise and give Him glory.

Hugs.
