so hello again :) what's up? i'm going home this afternoon, and i'm pretty darn happy about that. God has really had to smack me upside the head lately - mucho owie. it's b/c i've been really selfish and childish and not recognizing or thanking God for His blessings. being able to go home this weekend is a great thing for me, partially 'cause my bird has been through a little truama recently (yes, i know it sounds pitiful, but hush), and also just because i can see everyone and be HOME. i've been totally silly about this, b/c i take it for granted that i'll be able to go there. but really, it's a combination of lots of God work. i'm getting a ride from my good friend tim - THANX TIM! - even if we have to strap stuff to the top of the car... i also have parents that love me and want to see me and are even willing to cook for me and spend time fussing over and talking to me. (if your parents are not like this, know that your heavenly Father is, and He's died to have a conversation with you.) anyway, there are a whole lot of blessings that went into this trip - and i'm now thankful for 'em and hope more're on the way. i've still been ditching my dates with God, although i hope i've been a little more attentive to His voice. anyway, i really really really need to talk to Him on a regular basis and such. i'm not talking over dinner prayers here, i mean serious babbling and spilling of guts. it's not even that a lot has been going on in my life or anything, it's just that He needs to be an integral part of everything. i want Him to be. well, i've actually already packed and now i'm sitting around till four wasting time. well, really that's about all. need my time with God. end of story - not sentence, but that, too. ;) love y'all - can't wait to be home! |
