Proverbs 2
2-5 Turning your ear to wisdom and
applying your heart to understanding and if you call out for insight and
cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and
search for it as hidden treasure , then you will understand the fear of
the Lord and find the knowledge of God.- NIV.It
takes more than just wanting wisdom. We have to seek it, beg for it,
call out for it, and search for it. When we really want something we
don't let anyone stop us from getting it. When we have to work to get
something, to be diligent and fervent in earning it, then we we
appreciate it. God doesn't just give wisdom to everyone when they become
Christians. This we have to earn. We have to show God that we want it
and we appreciate it for what its worth.There
is so much in my life that I have put in the time, work, and effort
for, but have I really given God the same things? We kinda go with the
fact that God is always there and He will always love us. God deserves
the same time, work, and effort that I put into worldly things. Its time
for me to give this respect to God.God, I
am ready and willing to put in the time, effort, and work to show you
how Worthy you are of my Worship and Respect. I love you Father and I
cannot thank you enough for all the blessings that you have poured out
on my life. Thank you. I love you,In Jesus' Name,Amen

Day 3 Song of Songs
Song of Songs 2:1-8
Ever
notice that when you spend a lot of time with someone you can recognize
their sounds. How their footsteps sound, their breathing, coughs, etc.
We make noises as we come and go. How we shut the door, our knocks. You
know who is walking through the door long before you see them. She
heard her lover coming way before she saw him because she spent time
with him. Its also worth noting that He lover did not walk to her, he
wasn't strolling across the hills, he was RUNNING at full speed to his
beloved. If she recognized his coming it was because he ran to her each
and every time he saw her.
What if we could hear Jesus
coming before we saw his effects, before we could feel his presence in
our lives. That comes from anticipating him showing up. Listening for
him to arrive. Waiting for him. Spending time with him. What I would
give for that. Oh and just like the lover Jesus doesn't walk into our
lives, HE runs at full speed. He bounds over mountains to get to us.
Jesus,
Oh
how I want this. I want to wait on you, anticipate you, live in your
presence. I want to hear you coming long before I see or feel you. Jesus
I am requesting and inviting you to spend time with me. Show me how to
wait on you and how to anticipate you. Teach me your sounds.
In Jesus' name,
Amen

Day 2 Song of Songs
Song of Songs 1: 9-17
Verse 15. "How beautiful you are, my darling! Oh how beautiful, your eyes are doves." - NIV
If we could just be quiet
and let Jesus speak to us. He would tell us the same thing. Darling you
are so very wrong. That isn't who you are at all. You my Beloved are
beautiful, you are clean, you are pure, you my beloved are fierce. You
need to believe in who I say you are because when you let the devil
undermined your self worth you give up your power over him. You are a
daughter of the ONE TRUE KING and we better start acting like it. When
we do all the talking we always end up stuck in our heads and that's a
dangerous place to be. We need to LISTEN. Jesus wants to speak to us
and we just need to sit still and listen.
Song
of Songs isn't just this beautiful picture of what marriage can be, but
also a picture of your love for us. We are your beloved. Much like the
young women in the story we tend to spend our time with you doing all
the talking, which always leads to how we arent enough. We aren't pretty
enough, christian enough, strong enough, tough enough, smart enough,
ect. You want so much more for us then this self doubt and pity. If we
could be still and listen you would cleanse us with words of love and
affirmation. You would reminded us of who we are and who you are. God
help me to listen more.
In Jesus' name
Amen.

grad school and teaching
Graduate school is nothings like I thought it would be. There have been a class that was harder than I expected, but it seems like that is the exception instead of the rule. For the most part the classes are about on par with my classes at spsu. In fact some of the classes are boring the living daylights out of me and some interest me. What is the hardest part is the fact that I am trying to go to school, Teaching, and working a part time job. When I have a few minutes to myself that i should be using to grade or do school work, I am using them to either catch up on house work or catch up on sleep. I am so looking forward to a summer where i have some time to myself. I had so many high hopes for going to the gym this semester, but that did not happen. Just not enough hours in the day for me to fit it in. On the side note, I am out of my medicine, for those who don't know i am hypothyroid. I have been trying to control myself through diet and vitamins. It is not working. I feel some what better but man am i tired. when i finally get back to the doctor i want to try something with both t3 and t4 in it. I feel as if my body is not adequally converting to t4. We shall see what the doctor has to say. As of my 3 years with the disease I have yet to find one who would work with me. I hope that this changes very soon. Not sure if I can survive the rest of the semester with out my medicine.

Best day
I have had the best day. First, since I have started graduate school I have not had anyone to have eat lunch with. Today I had lunch with one of my new friends. She took me to this awesome trendy warehouse. Inside there is all these different restaurants and a farmers market. We had the best burgers at this place called GrindHouse burgers. The. We got amazing desert from a place called Sweet Auburn Bakery. It was so nice to sit and talk and hang out. I have so missed the girl time. Now I am chilling at home about to have a home made dinner with my family while watching the new Big Bang Theory!!
