My brother sent me this cartoon. It made me smile.

Treasure

I have been humming this song all day today and I thought I would share it. I have been learning so much about the Lord's grace and love and what it looks like in my life. I do want the Lord's love and grace to fill me and overflow into the lives of those around me. This is not only my song for the day, but also my prayer.

You are my treasure

Faithful Lord, fill my cup
With your grace and love, Your grace and love
The pleasures that this world's sure of
Will never be enough, can never be enough
Cause I'm created for You alone
Bought with a price I'm not my own
I'm seated in the heavenlies
And there's no place I'd rather be
Than with You forever Lord
You are my treasure

Immediately

We are going through the book of Matthew in the Bible in my Bible study right now. This past week we were talking about Matthew 4:12-25. In this section of verses, Matthew records Jesus asking His first disciples to follow Him. There response is so important: they 'at once' and 'immediately' left what they were doing and followed Jesus.

This was such a good reminder for me that I need to be immediately obedient to Him. Right now the job that I have to do is be a student, but every day I need to be listening to Him. I need to train my ears to hear His voice.

Lord Jesus, I pray that You will help my to hear You and immediately act.

Creatures of habit

I am such a creature of habit. I usually take the same route to the places I am going, even if it isn't the most direct. I brush my teeth the same way every time. I am in the habit of getting up at the same time every morning, even on Saturdays. I run/bike the same route.

Habits - some are good, some are bad. Did you know that we can make a habit in about 30 days?!

I desire that my time spent with the Lord in prayer and reading His Word is a habit in that I am constantly doing it. But I don't want it to ever become a habit that I do without thought. Above all I want to develop my relationship with Jesus, not simply have actions that I must repeat.

Fall

Fall is here! I love the sound of the leaves crunching beneath my feet as I walk. I love working with the windows open to the crisp air while wearing a comfy sweatshirt and drinking hot tea. I love the sight of pumpkins resting on front porches. I love getting to pull out my scarves and hats. I love Fall.
