God reminded me that when I have a problem, I need to talk to Him about it before I talk to anyone else. Friends give good advice but what really matters is what God has to say on the issue. Those answers from God can come from scripture, music, silence or conversation. The point is, God comes first.

I'm sitting in northern Michigan with 2 of my best friends, Dan and Moose, and I'm missing all my friends from back home.
I loved reading Mel's 5 part series, she is so talented and I love her.
I'll be home for a few days so call me up if u wanna hang out.
Also my friends Annie and Alexis are on my heart because they really want to go to Texas A&M and a tree kinda fell in their way, But I know they will make it.
I like Spring Break. I don't do the party scene like you all already know but no classes is great haha.
Ok I think thats all. Bye.

Psalm 23:6

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever.

I gave a little message about this passage when I was a shepherd on the DR mission project and it has always stuck with me. I find it amazing that God and all his beautiful qualities will follow me everywhere I go. No matter what I do or who I become, His unfailing love is pursuing me. It doesn't just sit back and watch, it's active in pursuing me constantly drawing me closer to God. He never lets go or gives up hope like I find myself doing on a daily basis with some people. And on top of that, I get to dwell in his house?! He does all the work in pursuing me through all my sin and then gives me the grand prize like I won the race. So what do I do, thank him and keep on talking about people behind their backs or judging others before I meet them. If it were my story, it would be full of destruction. Thankfully my life isn't about me; my life is a part of His story, which is much better. I still have some work to do.

Psalm 116:1-2

I love the LORD because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath.
