Today I had so much going on, planning for the Mojave trip (which is going to be awesome), planning the Tuesday night IGNITE high school, making sure everything is in order for the things we are doing for the summer, needless to say I was stressed out, and i totally forgot to do my time with God, I like all of us forgot that He is my crush, the one i should seek after daily. like I said Tonight i have been reading through Psalms and Proverbs and just journaling the journey that God is taking me through.
So I turned off my computer, sat back in my chair at my desk, took out my iPod and put on some worship music, and then I read this amazing verse in Psalms.
Psalms 4: 2-5 "How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods? Know that the Lord has set apart the goldy for himself; the Lord will hear when I call to him. In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent. Offer right sacrifices and trust in the Lord."
How amazing is that love letter, and right when i read that, i felt this great peace come upon me and i felt so comfortable, i closed my eyes, listened to worship music and got lost in the love of God. what a beautiful and amazing moment.
I want you to focus on what David wrote when he said "when you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent, offer right sacrifices and trust in the Lord" So today and tonight i want to challenge you to do something, go in your room, lay on the bed or get in a comfortable chair. take out your bible, turn on your iPod and listen to christian worship, read some scripture, and then just rest there, ask God to meet you their, and just be in peace... let your heart feel love from Him, what an amazing God we serve, just spend time with Him, remember He is calling us to a divine romance.. and what a romance it is.

God thank you for loving me, thank you for actually understanding me when no one doesnt, thank you for being with me even why i don't act like i love you. thank you
in the past year and a half i have been through alot. The separation of my parents has affected me quite a bit. While goingt through these hard times i firs turned to my friends to talk about it to them. After trying this i knew my friends helped a lot but i still felt i needed more help. so i then turned to my mom. she has helped me out tremendously and she is great to talk to. without her i wouldnt be the same. in the begining of this school year i had a couple of my friends invite me to go to church youth group. I always said i would go but never actually went. I wanted a closer relationship with God and i knew going to youth group would bring me closer. after about the fifth time my friend asked me to go i went. it was so uplifting and i felt so good praying and worshiping. my connection with God grew much stronger that night and i came to realize with him i could get through anything. and one of the big things i learned is that God would not put us through something that he knew we could not get through. after goint to church that night i decided to make it a regular routine. i now not only go once a week but twice. I love every moment of it. In my heart i know my relationship with God has grown stronger and i do admit that i have come to the point where i am ready to take the next step and i have shied away. i have also at times gone astray from the path that the Lord has created for me. but i want to improve on that and become a better Christian and teach those about God as people have done for me. And most important I want God to be "my crush"
God,
It is so easy to stray away from you and fall into this corrupted and sinful world. Every time I worship You, it's just a reminder to me that You want a better life for us than this world can offer. Although I realize all You want from me right now is a close relationship, it is so hard for me. I cannot explain why, but I just can't seem to fall into the habit of depending on you for all my needs. So my prayer to You is to help me become a less selfish person so I can focus and depend on You, and only You. I want to become this worthy and admirable Christian that You have called me to be. I want to go preach to others about You. I want to know all there is to know about You. I want You to be the only person on my mind. I want You to be my top priority in life. I want You to be my crush. So please, give me the strength it will take for me to follow through with this prayer. I'm tired of saying I want all these things...I'm ready to commit and receive what You want to give. I love You, and want You to be the biggest crush I've ever had.
Amen
