return.
I have not been faithful or good at pursuing relationships this summer. I don't know a lot about a lot of my friends' hearts and lives. But, the Lord asked me to pursue Him first and hard and I have tried to do that, at the risk of putting other relationships on hold. And I think He's bringing me home.

some small joys.
1. i saw an old man at the grocery store wearing sweats and uggs. if only they had said 'pink' across his butt... i may have mistaken him for a college girl.
2. also at the grocery: i love seeing old people in the candy aisle. so many choices.
3. community group and an hour long episode of the office.
4. i can't wait to see this movie: Where the Wild Things Are.
i seriously hope it's as good as it looks.
5. tangea tonight with new co-leaders!!

words in my journal..
sometimes i find myself asking the LORD to just take me now--in times of desperation or anxiety or just being overwhelmed by grace and love. but then i stop myself and wonder if i'm crazy for asking that, and i remind myself that there are still people who don't know Christ. but what could be better than being home with the Father?? being rid of my lowly earthly body and be made whole before the throne?
i know that i have nothing of myself to give people; i know that it would be better for me to offer nothing than to offer of myself. and so i pray that God would write his Gospel on my heart, that my life would be transformed by his Truth, and that he will carry out the work he has begun in me.
in 1 corinthians 1 paul is writing to "those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy."
v. 4-9: I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. FOR IN HIM YOU HAVE BEEN ENRICHED IN EVERY WAY--IN ALL YOUR SPEAKING AND IN ALL YOUR KNOWLEDGE--because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. THEREFORE YOU DO NOT LACK ANY SPIRITUAL GIFT AS YOU EAGERLY WAIT FOR OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST TO BE REVEALED. HE WILL KEEP YOU strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. GOD, WHO HAS CALLED YOU INTO FELLOWSHIP with his son Jesus Christ our Lord, IS FAITHFUL.
LORD, I want more of you. I pray that would continue to refine my heart.
