Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

"Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain." 1 Corinthians 9:24

Well, here we are beginning another month already! Superbowl Sunday! I read this verse during my Bible reading this morning. Since it is Superbowl Sunday, I thought I would post it here. It made me think about the guys on the football field running their hearts out to win the prize of being the Superbowl Champs (I guess that is what they will be, lol!) Anyway, I also couldn't help but wonder how many professing Christians stayed out of church tonight for this earthly game! They would do better in their Christian race if they would make God their priority and not forsake the assembling of themselves together with the other believers FIRST and then worry about the earthly race, which is gonna be burned up as wood, hay and stubble for those who chose the Superbowl over serving God! The prize for the faithful, a crown of faithfulness in running our race well; choosing to serve God above the wants of our flesh!

Anyway, I needed to go to Walmart this afternoon to support my addiction (my other addiction, that is - Diet Coke) so DH wanted me to pick up some snacks for the rest of the game after church. So, that's what I did my page on today. DH watched the game while I chatted with the ladies at Digitals in the chat room.

I created this page with Amanda Thorderson's new kit, "I Remember Love" found at the following link in her store at Digitals: http://digitalscrapbookpages.com/digitals/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=&products_id=13973
This is a HUGE kit! And it is on sale through February for $3!

Have a great week! See you tomorrow!
