heh...

so after my "i'm so busy busy" entry...i went and was reading through mel and jer's journals. k, so its funny (and by funny, i mean INCREDIBLE) how sometimes, even when we don't realize it, we need to be put back in place (a lil bit), and how God uses the people in our lives to help do that (even if they don't realize it) HA!

both mel and jer have entries about our busy lives, and how we need to really be still, and spend more time with God in prayer. it's crazy because i have been slowly getting more and more wrapped up in the activities of my day, and preppin for my trip, that it seems i have lost focus of WHY i am actually taking this trip. MAN its so easy to do that! but its SO WRONG!

the other day when i was at mel and jer's place for dinner, i was talking to mel, trying to explain this feeling that i have had lately...an overwhelming feeling, unexplainable...weird. and now i think i kinda know where it was coming from. i was getting so wrapped up in MY life, that i was putting my time with God WAY too far down the list. i think that feeling...which was not a very good feeling at ALL...was just a reminder of how much life sucks without God being our first in EVERYTHING.

forgive me Lord. set my priorities in check. let YOUR priorities be mine too.

but seriously...just on a side (and very important) note...my family is the absolute BEST FAMILY EVER! guys i love you more than i could EVER find the words to say. i am so thankful that God has given me such a crazy awesome family. i mean really! each of you have been a blessing to me in ways i don't even think you know. AHHH! i want words! but they seem insufficient... i just love you so much!

oie...gotta go...gettin all teary.

loves.
