I haven't written a blog in a while. But there was purpose behind that: 1. One of my friends hates the idea of people writing about their feelings and he says its a waste of time (can you guess who it is Kim??) and that has somewhat affected me in wanting to write anything about how I am doing. 2. this one is stupid but lately All I've been wanting to do is write about God! Write about Jesus... and I've been afraid to do that. Afraid that people will see me as some Jesus freak and tune out entirely... But I became so convicted this morning... If my God decided to just stop interacting in my life- stop talking to me or guiding me, I would feel hurt. I would be devastated and angry. So, my ignoring to acknowledge God interacting in my life as a normal part of my day must only seem as being hurtful to my God! I'm not going to be afraid to write about him any longer. Who cares if every one of my post has a scripture in it or has me contemplating about Who God is and what he...
so it looks as though my blogs are going to be merely reactions towards books I have read, but I don't think that will be the case ha-ha. Its just that I have read another good book that has made me ponder about life; the book I am talking about is called The Road by Cormac McCarthy. This book is nothing short of awesome-truly. It really got me thinking. Value- what do we put a value on when it really comes down to it. Love? wealth? Security? There are so many things that seem valuable to us but when it really came down to it-if the things we believed had some worth in our lives vanished, no, were taken from us- I want to know how important would it REEAALLLLY be. I'm trying to think of what I hold valuable in my life. food, friends, laughter (it sounds like a dinner party) but really I value those things so much. I can say that food is extrinsically valuable-actually all of them are because they serve as a means to bring me to what I guess I really want out of life, happiness...
Though it may seem like a fallacy The blood of Christ flows through me Rejoice in his glory, revere what is holy I am a prince among royalty In the greatest kingdom of all A growing love for him each day For my name I hear him call Jordan! Jordan...I love you Such a magical elixir- His love for me An ultimate fixer, don't turn to drugs, violence, or greed You mean all I have to do is fall on my knees And speak? Speak what's on my heart, oh Lord Where do I even start How do I approach the beginning and the end To equate the Redeemer and friend as synonyms Standing by my side with a hand on my shoulder Whispering in my ear " I'm going to take you further" You mean that I'm meant for more than this Christ?? More than what you've already blessed me with? How can I fathom the depths of your affection The world I see around me is a view of your reflection Of how much you've done for me already.
