I find it amazing how God always leads me to the perfect passage during my time with Him. I mentioned a few posts back that I read a section of Psalm 119 every day during my quiet time. Although I have read these verses a few times now in the past few months, about a week ago it truly hit home. It has been my sincere cry the past week:
"Incline my heart to Your testimonies and not to dishonest gain. Turn away my eyes from looking at vanity, and revive me in Your ways. Establish Your word to Your servant, as that which produces reverence for You." Psalm 119:36-38

A Call to Persevere
I was encouraged by this passage from the Word yesterday during my break at work:
"Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful" Hebrews 10:19-23 NIV
That is truth.

Random
Well I haven't thought of much to blog on lately, but I figured it would be good to give a little update on what life is like right now. I am still getting over mono, but I have been able to go back to work this last week and am not too exhausted come bedtime. The biggest things are my tickled and still swollen throat and glands, the bags under my eyes, and being teased (of course!). Its not so bad though...I've been able to relax when not working and between the last two weekends, I had the privilege of attending 3 weddings! I love weddings and it was so amazing to witness these three christian couples make a covenant before God and all of us witnesses. Each bride and groom looked fantastic and each wedding was truly unique! I'll be honest in saying that I tucked away some ideas for when my own wedding takes place, but my favorite part was listening to the vows...you can just hear the love and sincerity so clearly when they're said. It's so beautiful!
(Sorry to you you men reading this...I'm going to continue with the girly theme for a moment)
On some of my free time, I've been working on reorganizing and cleaning my room. I love cleaning, throwing things out, and finding old treasures that I had forgotten about. The reasons I am doing this are 1. my sister is moving out in a few weeks to go to college so I get free rein with decorating and rearranging furniture and 2. since I've been home so much I figured it would be a good idea to downsize on some of my old, random stuff that I've kept for years. I've had so much fun! As of this moment, the only things left to do are file papers and have Leslie deal with her stuff :)
On a different note...I am looking for large cheap bookshelves that are in usable condition and are stand-alone. So, if you find yourself reading this and have such an item (they are for my daddy...he has a ton of books), please let me know! AND I would like to know who is reading this...so if you have a second, could you comment and just let me know you stopped by? No need to follow me if you don't want to, but I am curious. Thanks!
