"God has pursued me in creative and whimsical ways, ways that initially did not get my attention. nevertheless, He wouldn’t stop. that’s what love does — it pursues blindly, unflinchingly, and without end. when you go after something you love, you’ll do anything it takes to get it, even if it costs everything." -- Bob Goff// Love Does
for kind professors with gray sweaters and harry potter glasses who teach me about photosynthesis and say things like, "i tend to say fun-gi because i'm a FUN guy!" ..haha, that's real. seriously how enjoyable!
for learning about how seriously BRILLIANT God made the earth and environmental systems. so crazy how He just thought of everything! for rachel, and that she would read psalm 23 over me. so precious and valued. like, are ya kiddin me? i have friends like that?? for putnam trail for oranges. Lord only knows how many oranges i've eaten these days. guys, i'm even eating one right now! ha! for rachael calling me lex in passing today! i smiled a good five minutes after that. for holland's farm shirts (: for shoes. i've been whining about the cold a lot lately, but then i look down at my feet and imagine how much more cold i would be if i didn't have shoes. then i stop whining. i am thankful for shoes. for inspiration and beauty. for sincerity for art, with trent. he teaches me so much about who Jesus is. for yui singing a song about my tights the other day and how the pattern was too flowery for the weather we are having.. all this in song.. and then walking away. (: for monica. her heart, i tell ya. one of the biggest ones i've encountered. for anna and her ability to speak truth in gentleness and love! for chase and the life he lives. for emily. her ability to listen and care is one that has blessed me time and time again. she cares for people DEEPLY. for singing for coral and our friendship. i value it so stinkin much. it is precious to me. for morning for amy. loving me even though she knows the ugly parts of my heart and speaking truth over me. for my mom and how she teaches me about unconditional love. she loves me so well! for becca. i know i always say for becca, but geesh i gotta! she is one to thank God for daily! mostly, though, for God being trustworthy. today my spirit is discontent.
i am not satisfied. something missing. something deeper missing. it grips me. something words cannot articulate. i crave God. i am thirsty for Him. my life longs for more. i long to encounter Him in fresh ways. i long for something beyond the daily life. i'm standing in a wave pool when i long for the sea yet, my thirst goes unquenched. He said He would but my mouth is dry. //like the deer pants for flowing streams i am just so thirsty. i am unsettled. but i know, so deeply i know, He will come. my lover, my king, He will come because He said He would. He will fulfill// and i will rest in truth. {{this i recall to my mind, therefore I have hope.}} as surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth. hosea 6:3 |
