Today was very good. Thank you for your goodness and mercy. I spent today walking around downtown. I went to some tea houses and drank white tea (my favorite) and spent the day with you, Lord. Our time together was really good. You really taught me a lot and had me process some lies that I have believed for a long time. Thank you for your truth and how you dispel the lies that Satan whispers to us.
It was a little too cold for me today, but even as I walked I felt you warm me from the inside out as I walked every moment with you today. A day of listening was so cleansing. I deal with noise all day long, and you know that I needed to listen to what you had to tell me today.
You used a small book that I found last week called Emotional Purity by Heather Paulson (shown below -- this image is also a blink to the blog that she writes). In here she writes about how we (as seekers of you Lord) need to guard our hearts for a relationship with you and the one you provide for us. This book is not geared toward the junior high and senior high crowd, as are most "purity" books. Lord, this one is what I have been looking for for years.
Lord, today as I read this I wrote on almost every page. It is such an easy read. I wrote prayers to you Lord and also just comments of amazement as the author seemed at times to be writing the book in response to what I was thinking. Lord thank you for the insights that you give people that you then use to spread to other people.
Lord I bought this for a friend and I pray that it will encourage her as it encouraged me. I am halfway through it (as I read it for most of the day and did not do any homework today), and I am so looking forward to reading the rest of the book.
Thank you for your word and how Paulson has your words sprinkled throughout the book.
Thank you Lord for friends. They are a blessing.
Also thank you for your word and sacrifice.
In your name,
Amen
Here are some songs that I ended my day with: (the second is by a newer artist -- Kari Jobe and second song -not video- is by Sara Groves)
