On a More Serious Note

Yes the last post was a joke. Yes I really did hallucinate due to lack of sleep on the way back but I would not advise it in the slightest. It was quite scary!

God continues to work on my heart day in and day out and it is amazing. He continues to place people in my life that are such a blessing to me. Someone once told me that God love us just the way we are, but loves us too much to keep us that way. It is so nice to have relationships with honest and real people that will tell you the truth and give you Godly counsel whether it be easy or hard to take.

For the first time in my life, I feel like my current relationship (girlfriend/boyfriend relationship) is a blessing from God. In the past, I think it has always been something I wanted and it was obvious because it would always be a fight in my heart between God and the person I was dating. It had always been a struggle to keep God as my number one priority. For whatever reason, it is radically different with this one. I have never dated a woman that you could see God so clearly in her heart. I have never dated a girl that I can talk to knowing full well that she will give me good Godly counsel. I really hope she feels the same way about me because for the first time in my life, I feel like my relationship with God is first and foremost and our relationship with each other is almost like we are walking together with God.

Praise be to God from whom all blessings flow. Your praise will be on my lips always. I will keep the Lord first in my heart and even though it is easy to praise Him when things are going well, I pray that I will praise Him always. I will make this prayer always, no matter what happens throughout my life:

"Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised." Job 1:20

Thou and thou only, first in my heart;
High King of Heaven, my treasure thou art.
