So it's been a really long time since I last wrote. Last week was fall break and it was so enjoyable. It's been hard to get back into the day by day routine again. For those of you that don't know, my favorite TV show is 7th heaven and for about 3 years I have been asking my mom for some seasons for Christmas, Birthday, basically any holiday that comes around; I had kind of forgotten about it. Well over fall break I had a minor breakdown about school and our car situation and all kinds of other stuff and what does my mom do...breaks out the first and second season of 7th heaven for me! Getting back into this show has warmed my heart so much. This show is so good, in every meaning of that word. It is so wholesome and real, but yet focuses on the important things. Out of the 15 shows I've probably watched so far, I would say I have cried (a good cry) on about 10. It is incredible to me how moving this show is. It has also had me thinking...how was this show on TV? Not that I am not thankful for this show, but looking at the shows that are on TV today makes me wonder how was something that is so good and pure ever on TV...now that we have half naked people on TV and its a regular occurrence to hear cursing or mention of drugs or alcohol. It is sad to see what our society values and how it compares to what God wants from us. I guess its all the more for Christians to really live out what they believe and shine for Christ.
As I've said before, all my heart really desires is a committed relationship with God, but that keeps taking the back road. Today I had a nice little reminder that he's there, and he loves me-so much! It may seem silly to others but it really was a reminder that I desperately needed. Today I had an Econ test and a group project to work on. I was supposed to work at school this evening too. And in the middle of all that I was supposed to finish a 7-14 page paper, single spaced. My weekend and morning had been so overwhelmed with stress and craziness. After I finished studying for my test, I find out that work was cancelled tonight, so that gives me about 4 extra hours to finish this paper. :) So I just want to praise and thank God, for looking into my heart and seeing what I really needed today. He is so good. My hope he continues to reveal himself to me.
"So i'm droppin that guard here's your chance at my heart
Oh no, my walls are gonna break
So close, its more than I can take
I'm so tired of turning and running away
When love just isn't safe."
