*this time next week i'll be sitting in class. scary... isn't it?

*so today i started my serious packing. i never realized how much stuff i have! i hope it all fits. i'm still pretty calm... so far so good :)

*lately i've been studying Jeremiah in my quiet time. before i really didn't know what it was about. so far it's God calling to His children and just pleading w/ them to turn from their false idols... and He's asking them over and over again what has He done for them to turn away from Him. He asks them if their idols have made them... or if these "gods" can really save them from destruction... or if they show mercy and grace. and you know... as i was reading it i was thinking (like everyone else) ,"how foolish they were.".. but then it hit me. how many time do we do the same thing? we make things... or fame... or praise... or sometimes relationships the focus of what we live for... yeah... maybe we'll keep God in the picture... but He doesn't get top priority... how many times do we take a moment out of our day just to sit w/ Him.. know Him... talk w/ Him. we say a short little pray that's to our benefit... but what about praising Him? God wants to be our greatest love. and it's such ashame that we aren't willing to love Him the way He wants to be love. i mean... never spared anything for us b/c He loves us soo much. He gave His Son for our eternity! THAT'S LOVE!!! so God's call to you and me today is "Love Me." do you? ~Hope
