I have like 5 minutes to actually update this thing. I know that I haven't(sorry). The past couple of weeks have just been crazy. Between school and everything else it's like I have no time. I miss everyone so much. It's funny because God has been showing me a lot about my relationships lately. The times when I'm away from everyone is the times when God shows me the most about those people, how important everyone really does mean to me. He is reestablishing my place and confirming where I am. I know I had said in an earlier post that school has been hard. It has been. It's hard begin away from like minded people 9 hours a day 180 days a year. I come home and feel so drained. But Jesus. He is so faithful. The faithfulness of Him is the only thing that keeps me together. In the past couple of weeks He has reminded me that He is God over everything. He is God over my days, weeks, time, relationships, emotions, everything. Everything comes back to love. The first commandment God ever gave. Anyway, here is a part of 1Peter. I just happen to like it. I don't have time to explain it right now. Tell me what pops out to you.
"But also in this very thing, bringing in all diligence, filling out your faith with virtue, and with virtue, knowledge; and with knowledge self-control, and with self-control, patience, and with patience, godliness, and with godliness, brotherly kindness, and with brotherly kindness, love.
For if these things are in you and abound, they make you to be neither idle nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he in whom these things are not present is blind and cannot see afar off and has forgotten that he was purged from his sins in the past.
Therefore, brothers, rather be diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things, you shall never fall. For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Therefore I will not neglect to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them and are established in the present truth. But I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by a reminder,
knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is soon, as indeed our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me. And I will also be diligent to cause you to always have memory of these things after my departure. For not having followed fables having been cunningly devised, but becoming eyewitnesses of the majesty of Jesus Christ, we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord. For He received honor and glory from God the Father, when was borne to Him a voice from the excellent glory, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
And we heard this voice being borne from Heaven, being with Him in the holy mountain.
We also have a more sure Word of prophecy, to which you do well to take heed, as to a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Daystar arises in your hearts,
knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture came into being of its own private interpretation. " 2 Peter 1:5-20
