It's been awhile since I have written anything on my blog. I highly doubt anyone ever reads this anyway... More recently I have been writing my daily thoughts in my paper journal. Just recently I filled up my latest journal, and had to go searching into my dresser drawer for another one. I discovered one I had started at the beginning of 2006, and oh how fun it was to go back and read my thoughts and stories from my life at seventeen! One day I will come back to this blog...perhaps another couple years from now, and read and reminisce on this very moment. I have concluded this is one of my favorite hobbies, whether or not it is really a hobby or not...
Another one of my favorite things to do when I am home is to sit on our back deck and have my "daily afternoon quiet time," as I now call it. As I sit at our new patio furniture, the sun warms my back and the wind gently cools my face. The sound of the wind chimes and the consistent swishing of the sprinklers are sweet reminders of life on the farm, of life at home. God is good to me, oh so good!
I wonder sometimes...if my life were not so great...would I still think God were good? Would I still praise Him? Would I continue to faithfully follow Him? Take the newest Rambo movie for example... the blood, death, terror, and evil that is so prevalent in that movie was not just "made up" in Hollywood. People actually live through that on a daily basis. Do they believe God is good? I wonder how they can when they are blinded by so many evil actions. Many people do not even know of God's goodness to us: His free gift of eternal life.
Oh how I desire to seek the Lord always, daily, moment by moment, regardless of what happens in my life. I pray that God would always supply me with the strength and endurance to daily seek and surrender to Him. To simply surrender. Afterall, Philippians 4:19 (my verse of the week) says that, "My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Jesus is what I need. Others need Jesus as well. He is everything.
