Dear Sing-Song,
You are slowly yet surely taking over my life. therefore, I have dedicated this post to you. Although I have a love-hate relationship with you (consisting mostly of hatred), I appreciate your help in making new friends. and providing me with pretty, pink dresses and crowns that my lovely roommate and I used to make a video/documentary/musical all around downtown Abilene. Thank you..
Cordially,
Bridget Irene Howe
p.s. I will not miss you after this week. Even if you do catch me singing your catchy songs...
Anyways, reflecting on those sing-song lyrics, I have to wonder..do i really want God? I know I need Him..but do I WANT him more than anything? Francis Chan said something that i found interesting: "The irony is that while God doesn't need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don't want him most of the time." hmm. This rings true for me from time to time.
Do I believe your words are sweeter than honey? I find myself not hungering for God because I buy the lie that He can't fully and completely satisfy every desire. And when I do believe it, i find myself wanting everything he has to give..but still holding tightly to what I want. We can't fully receive all that god has if our hands are still clutched onto other idols/desires.
So interestingly enough, I'm sitting in my dorm room studying biology (cough being addicted to facebook cough) and in comes two of my friends with a bouquet of flowers and a card with the bible verse in it: "He opens up his hand and satisfies the desires of EVERY living thing." Psalm 145:16
so I've come to this conclusion: A. God has blessed me with some amazing, wonderful friends who he romances me through. B. He's got hysterical timing. Love it.
