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

July 6, 2009

Our last stop on the way back to NC after having a wonderful July 4th weekend was in WV with our daughter. We went to church with her last night and it was fun to see everyone again and have the service in their new building. Tim and I slept in Brad and Liz's RV, which is very comfortable. It was a nice, cool night and made for great sleeping! We didn't need the heat and we didn't need the air conditioner! I slept like a baby! Didn't get up until about 8 a.m.

After everyone had eaten breakfast and got dressed, we went to the Buffalo Elementary School so that Hannah and Ryan could play on the swings and slides before Tim and I headed back to NC. While there, Liz and I tried to out-do one another on the swings. I think I won, BTW :) but I'm sure Liz would not agree! I remembered how much I loved swinging as a girl. The higher I could get, the better I liked it! So, I guess Hannah gets that love from me! She also likes to go high enough that the seat jerks underneath her! Ahhhh! The feel of flying with just the swing keeping the gravity from crashing you to the ground!

P.S. I like to swing, too.; July 7, 2009 at 10:17 PM
