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

May 9, 2009

I'll bet after you read my journaling in this layout that you are thinking, "this lady sure spends alot of time at the grocery store!" And, sometimes I really feel like that, too! But, I just had to pick up a few things that we ran out of over the last couple of days. No major grocery shopping! I try to keep a running list on my fridge, but sometimes you just miss stuff!

And speaking of missing stuff, have you ever had to do a U-turn in the road because you missed your turn? North Carolina has got this thing for U-turns! And, I don't mean against them! They are for them, LOL! Every main street is set up so that you can make a U-turn! And then I came across this sign (shown in my layout) and I started thinking about the direction life takes you sometimes. Sometimes the road is straight and you can travel easily to your destination. Other times there is the need for a U-turn. And then there are times when you are just not sure which way you should go! I started thinking it's too bad there isn't a Map Quest or Google for directions in your life, but there is! It is called the Bible! And we can always ask for directions from God! Most times we forget to ask. That's when we usually have to make a U-turn!
