Its late...

Matthew 6:33 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."


Im sitting at our kitchen table, all 5 of my rommates are sleeping. For some reason, I really cant sleep and wanted to work on my Beth Moore study. Im so rational, sometime it makes for a boring time!
Im listening to one of my favorite contemporary Christian cds, called "The I Heart Revolution" by Hillsong United, and I absolutely love that it is live recorded. On all the songs, a crowd is singing with them, and it reminds me of big conferences where everyone is praising and singing to God! It reminds me that we as creatures here on earth really often fail to think upon and meditate on God Himself...singing songs of worship to Him is one of the coolest things we can do!!Its like, does it take big conferences to get us to connect with Him? thats a good question, and makes me think about my own life alot.
I have to work at 7 am tomorrow...today I got to talk with my boss about the end times, you know, its rare that people, even Christians, really talk about when Jesus will return. But it was cool, I have alot to learn about theology and everything, its scary and puts eternity into perspective.
Well, that verse in Matthew is my prayer, that I would seek first HIM. Christ above all. Its not easy to do, I am finding that out, how I am thankful for campus outreach and opportunities that call into focus what truly matters, that minimizes distractions. I have to admit that I am way less disciplined than I thought I was, and desperately long to rely on God like I did in south africa.
Im going to bed thankful- Beth Moore just asked us to write a little bit about what our lives would be like if God hadnt stepped in and captured our heart. No doubt my life would be strikingly different. I wrote something like, "Well, I would definitely have dated guys for the sake of dating, probably engaged by now to someone who just attends church but doesnt live for Christ, would have an entirely different wardrobe complete with revealing attire, and def be on the track to getting my PhD in something psychology related. Oh, and be obsessed with my looks and my ranking in society, or whatever social group." But how glorious. I am so so so thankful, here I am, learning how to live a life that is set apart, learning how to love Christ, experiencing the call of God for all that it is, and I am truly thankful!

"There is nothing like Your love.."
