well, the semester is almost over, 9 more days en counting. even though its been an amazing semester i am ready for a break. my bf shannon is coming in 9 days for 3 glorious weeks. i cannot wait to see her!!!!!! ill post all our adventures once she gets here.
on a personal note, i have been going through the gospel of matthew just focusing on the ministry of jesus. so amazing how much he gave out. he was all about people. i am excited for a new semester to really pour into people from the very beginning. that is what ministry is all about anyways, people.
i read chapter 16 today. "for whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." sometimes i dont think i really believe this verse, that if i loose my life for christ's sake i will find it...i keep trying to find my life. it is such a basic principle if we pour into him he will pour into us. that is one thing he has been challenging me so much in surrendering everything to him, to hold absolutely nothing back and dive into all that he is. basically, to seek him with my whole heart. what an amazing promise, "and you will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart." jeremiah 29:13
its basically up to me how much of him i want to experience, the more i let go of myself and cling on to him the more life i experience, the more i will see him. what do we have to loose (verse 26)? God give me an undivided heart to seek you!!!
"Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart." Psalm 119:2
"With my whole heart I have sought You; oh, let me not wander from your commandments!" Psalm 119:10
stay strong the end draws near, beloved bride...
