Jealous for me

It is my last day in Johnson City.

It is my last day in the beautiful mountains.

Last day in Tennessee.

Last day in the Eastern Time Zone.

Last day with my family.

Last day of peace and quiet :)

I am so ready to go back to school.

To get Back into the swing of college life.

But I am very nervous about what this semester brings.

I hope that I can stay as close to the Lord as I am now if not even closer.

I hope I can stay calm and keep my head level.

I was reading Jesus Calling this morning and I loved it!

Who am I kidding I love it every morning!

Its incredible that this little book was written in 2004 by some lady I don't know,

and that I can read exactly what I need to be reading that day.

It is always exactly what I need to hear.

I have had trouble in the past by putting things before God.

This is called having Idols [duhh].

But I feel like people don't realize this because it is not a statue or something we worship.

Its money or

cars or

shopping or

our sorority or

our grades or

our jobs or

our boyfriends or

our sports teams or

our friends.

I have probably had a time where all of these things meant more to me at the time than spending time with God.

I want you to be all Mine.

I am weaning you from other dependencies.

Your security rests in me alone--not other people,

not in circumstances.

Depending only on Me may feel like walking on a tightrope,

but there is a safety neat underneath: my everlasting arms.

[Jesus Calling]

This summer I worked in Colorado for a month not knowing anyone...

Because he wanted me to be all his!

This summer I am working in North Carolina for a month not knowing anyone...

Because he wants me to be all his!

I go to school in Alabama alone Because he wants me to be all his!

He is jealous for me!

The creator of the universe, the king of kings is jealous for me!

Cling to the Lord in your loneliness!

With Love From My Father,
