If your soul is parched and thirsty and you feel weighed down by care, go to God's Word for refreshment. You'll find strength and comfort there...

The title pretty much sums up about how I've been feeling lately and what I need to do. The great thing is when life's demands are overwhelming we CAN find hope, guidance, and knowledge to help us in God's Word. How amazing is that...we have such an awesome God!

God has put a lot on my heart lately about how I've been living my life. It was a lot easier being a strong Christian and living every day in God's word when you go to a Christian school and all your influences are Godly and your active in church and there every day of the week. How can you fall??? Then, when you become an adult and enter the "real world" its easy to fall from God's path and go your own way. You become friends with the wrong people and you stop going to church and before you know it you don't have a single trace of God in your life.

All that being said this bible verse comes to mind...

Isaiah 40:18-31
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

mmm that was a good post. it's nice to be reminded about how we're never alone.

anyways, school is going really well :) I love all my classes, but astronomy is probably my favorite because it has the least amount of people and the friendliest teacher. professor? instructor? I dunno what you're supposed to call them at a comm. college. lol

how have you been?? you sound like you've been stressed, i hope you're feeling better. bubble baths and hot tea always help hehe :)
