thought life

Wow! Life has gotten so crazy I haven't even had time to think about updating this--ok, that's not entirely true, but the thought sure doesn't have time to stay long!
Something that I've really been thinking about this weekend came from a conversation that stemmed in my Discipling class. Someone in there said that we need to make sure our thoughts are constantly focused on God and that we need to make sure they are going directly toward Him in all circumstances. Then I realized that on the few times(and might I emphasize few) that I have time to focus on being silent and I don't have a million other thoughts demanding my attention, I'm not sure that my thoughts do go directly toward God. Are they reflecting on Him and His greatness? I wish I could say yes, but unfortunately, that isn't how it always is. I can think about my busy week, my friends, my family, more homework, sleep, facebook, food, lots of things, and God may occasionally be in there, too, but for the rank I believe He has in my life, I don't think He's getting all of the thought time He should be. I need to focus on that more instead of merely going through like normal.
Psalm 10:4 says "In his pride the wicked does not seek him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God"
I don't want that to be where I am. I don't want to be prideful or wicked, I want my thoughts to allow plenty...more than plenty...of room for God!
That's something I'd like to encourage all of you with this week! Just remember how wonderful He is and allow your thoughts to be directed toward Him and consumed by Him. I know I'm going to work on that!

God has given me an amazing opportunity and I am ready for it! I have recently been given the Camps Ministry Coordinator position here at HU for one of the floors of one of the buildings! I'm so excited! I know that God gave me this chance and it was completely Him who provided the position! I'm excited to meet new people and work with new girls in leadership! I'm also excited to use the gifts and skills God has given me. I pray that He would equip me and prepare the hearts of those to whom I will be around. I also want to be humble...I in absolutely no way feel that I am higher or more spiritual than anyone because I was given this role. I think that this is a way for me to help disciple people as well as for other girls to disciple me. I think that there will be some pretty amazing opportunities and since I'm in a new building with new girls, it will be a great chance for me to come out of my shell!
I'm so excited about this and I'm ready to see how God will work! It's been a trying time for the last few weeks and this was a nice chance of pace for me :)
