Friday...

It has been a busy week. I don't even know where to begin on this one. I have learned so much since my last post that it would take forever to type even part of it up...and just thinking about it makes me want to not even start.... so...I think I won't and I will just head to bed. lol

This week, throgh various circumstances, classes, devotions, and friends, God has been showing me just how selfish I am and how I need to change that. Its been a hard, but much needed lesson.

I have been confronted with the need to trust God completly, to put effort into my relationship with Him, and to strive to be more like Christ every day.

I think the greatest reminders have come via a book, "When Trouble Comes" by Jim Berg (and a few other sections from various books), Crisis Counseling and Methods of Biblical Counseling Classes (along with Devo Prep and Principles of Bible Teaching), and then from my personal devotions in Hebrews (along with the messages on Sunday and in chapel). I think too often I try to get absolutly everything out of every single class, book, and message, but then my head gets so full of information that I rarely have time to really think about even one thing I have been challenged by and thus I never change. Sure, I may have heard it many times, but if I never apply it, it is nothing. "To know and not to do, is not to know at all." - Dr Hendricks.

It really has been a good week. I feel like I have come almost a complete circle, but thats ok, because what I have learned and applied, is well worth the trials that it took to bring everything to my attention. => I hope that you all have a great weekend and don't put God on hold just because your schedule gets busier!
