Value Check

So I don't have any fun or grose stories for this week. So instead I want to do a value check, meaning I want to take a moment to remember our value. It is so easy to get caught up in life and business and lose ourselves, and a part of that is losing sight of who we are and how much we are loved. There are many verses about this, but I have a favorite. Some of you know this.

Zephaniah 3:17 says this "For the Lord your God is with you! He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, and he will quiet you with his love, And he will rejoice over you with singing!"

These are promises! The God of the universe rejoices over us! He protects us! He is always with us! And He DELIGHTS in us! What an amazing priviledge. So lets take it one step further and make it just a bit more personal. He rejoices over you! He protects you! He is always with you! And he DELIGHTS in you!

I hope that in the midst of business...ok lets be honest insanity, the ocasional bout of confusion that bogs us down, and the doubt that is our companion more than we like to admit...remember that you are dearly loved and that is a part of your identity that never has to be confusing or doubted. It is sure.

DELIGHT is my favorite word! So of course I love that verse too! Thanks for the reminder.

About Me

It's funny the things that we learn as we grow. And I don't just mean as we get older, I mean as we learn about ourselves, our world, and our God. I am 25 and I am learning that the circumstances of life are unpredictable. However the presence of God in those curcumstances, in my life and in my heart, is more constatnt even then the rising sun. God is the creator, fullfiller, and motivator of my dreams and desires. His presence is the key to their success and value, and his presence is the joy of my life. This blog is to share as he pursues me and I learn to abide in his presence.
