Store up for yourself Treasure in Heaven

"Every time you affirm your trust in me, you put a coin into MY treasury. Thus you build up equity in preparation for days of trouble." [JesusCalling]

This morning I woke up to a fresh blanket of SNOW on the ground.
 I do not think I have ever seen a view out my window as pretty as the one I have now.
The hills of the golf course, the frozen pond, the trees.
SO PRETTY!
I was getting ready to head to work and when I was completely ready,
walking out the door.
 My dad called to say that the roads were too bad!
So Yes I woke up and was ready for the day at 8 o'clock this morning! WOO HOO!
But the blessing in this was that I got time to do my quiet time in the morning.
Oh its incredible how the Lord knows the days that I may need a little more peace and time with him.
And how he knows that I need to set my mind straight in the morning.

 Psalm 56
 "When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid.
What can mortal man do to me?"

Matthew 6:20-21
 "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."


The more intentional I become with trusting the Lord, the more I will cling to that in times of trouble.

Everyone is returning back to school this week.
 Everyone but ME!
Its not that I am fearful in the scared, terrifying way but I am just nervous about going back to school,starting new classes, and being away from loved ones.
And the fact that I will be in JC for a whole 2 more weeks all alone haha!

I am ready to go back and to start pursuing relationships with high school girls.
I am ready to build relationships with my college friends.
I am ready to go back and listen to David Platt.
I am ready for Hayden to come see Samford for formal :)
I feel like I just pressed pause in my life and came home. I am ready to press play and get started again!!!


With Love From My Father,
