Well, I do enjoy blogging, but just to warn you, I'm very inconsistent about it. I may do it every day for a week, and then stop for 6 months. So consider yourself warned.
So... where do I go from here?
God has recently been teaching me what it means to really live for Him. I've been a Christian pretty much my whole life, but a lot of the time I don't give Jesus my all... actually, all the time. I'm so selfish and prideful, and I want the approval and validation of people around me. But God doesn't want me to want that. A song that has meant a lot to me, and has really been my prayer this past semester is Yearn by Shane and Shane. The chorus goes:
Lord, I want to yearn for You
I want to burn with passion over You
And only You
Lord, I want to yearn
That honestly is what I want. And the really awesome thing about it, is that as I've been asking for it, He's been giving it to me. I'm not going to sit here and try to say that I'm there, that God truly is my one and only desire and my sole passion... I'm not there yet. But He's given me SO much. I feel like my walk with Him is finally real. It's finally based on something more than just emotion and spiritual highs. It's based on something more than what's going on in my life at any given moment. I still have SO SO SO much to learn, and I always will, but He's teaching me. And He's the most amazing teacher there is.
