I got back home to find my room a mess. Of course, I was to blame for some of it, but it seemed to be the place to throw things when no one wanted them. I decided it was time for some deep cleaning! I rolled up my sleeves, literally took everything out of the room, and dusted and vacuumed and dusted some more. Then began the even more interesting process: de-clutterizing! (Yes, that's a word.)
I am now (three full trash bags later) half way done. I have to admit that I did get a little distracted. I was sorting through my old file cabinet and stumbled across my high-school testimony. Reading through it, as well as some of my other writings, I was convicted by my inexperienced high school girl words. As I reread those words from what seems like forever ago, I could hear the passion.
While I certainly have grown in many ways, my passion is not at the level it used to be. I think I have forgotten how drastically God changed me back in high school. I think I have lost the kind of awe that makes me cry when I read my Bible. Don't get me wrong, I love Him very much. Yet, I am just like the Israelites: I need a constant reminder of the amazing things God has done.
Oh, Abba, You are so faithful! Set my heart on fire, work by your Spirit so I may love You more fiercely! You are all that I am.
Friends, you can be praying: I have an MRI coming up this week to see if I injured my knee worse than expected. Pray that it is fixable but not a big deal!
HE is faithful!
