hmmmmm...
yesterday i got a letter from me to me... awkward? nope!!! it really made me think...
so at camp my life was amazing- i knew what i wanted to do with myself, what i believed... i was at peace! the week at okoboji was incredible! i got to spend my days in the word, in prayer, and with amazing people (my friends) our whole time there was dedicated to the LORD... i loved it!
then i came home. to eagan, mn where i had work and eventually school, and other stressful things- GOD just disappeared from my life. i still went to church.. i prayed before meals.. i prayed occasionally other times... but i was luke-warm, not on fire like i was at camp.
the letter i wrote to myself brought this to my attention. im slipping, and it scares me. i love JESUS. he is my LORD and SAVIOR! but its not enough just to say that. i have to live it!
but i know that its going to be hard. i know that there will be times where i dont want to get up on saturday and go to bible study or get up on sunday and go to church! but i will- because i NEED to!!!! its going to take hard work to force myself to dig into scripture and pray to GOD about everything- not just when i need help- but when im thankful, or joyful, or when im just peaceful...
i ask that all of you help me to be this person that i want to be! and i will help you if you want me to.. we need each others support!
THANK YOU LORD... for everything.
