de·sire /dəˈzī(ə)r/

noun
- a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen

The word desire is often times more defined by my flesh than my spirit.



Whom have I in heaven but you?

And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.

My flesh and my heart may fail,

but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

For behold, those who are far from you shall perish;

you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.

But for me it is good to be near God;

I have made the Lord God my refuge,

that I may tell of all your works.


Father, teach me how to rightly desire.

I figured it was about time for another update. If only i had something burning to type about...
I can't speak well enough of the Lutkenhoff's. I am so thankful that the Lord is allowing me to watch them live life and learn to imitate them as they imitate Christ.
I'm learning the value (and fight) for alone time. This is probably the hardest training, as i'm used to having ample time and space at my disposal.
The Lord is taking away my lazy bones--which is so nice! I'm not half as active as these guys, but i know i'll be stronger when i leave them.
If you think to pray (or if you pray) please ask the Lord that I would know the Romans 8 love He has for me. And if you don't know it either, pray for yourself, too. Also, that all jealousy, strife, and other Spirit-killers would be put off from me. The spirit is willing, the flesh is weak.

Sorry that this is all for now. I had no plans on posting and am pretty sure no one reads unless i tell them too.
Oh well.

Love you
