Simple, Quiet Evenings.

I love nights like tonight. There is a chance of thunderstorms with a hint of sun shining through the clouds. My escape to my sister's proved to be just what I needed: a breath of fresh air. It gave me a new perspective, or rather, God gave me a new perspective of who He is & of who I am. He also gave me quiet mornings to wake up and read His word; not get on the internet and see who's who and read the latest blog or see the cute pins on Pinterest.. not immediately rise out of bed thinking I don't have the TIME to read the bible.. but what I don't have time for is living a life that is worthless. Pretending I've got it all under control when really, I don't. I am nothing without Him. The bible says that all of my works "are as filthy rags" (Isaiah 64:6). Another thing God is teaching me is that He hates pride. I'm reading through C.J. Mahaney's book, "Humility: True Greatness" and in this book C.J. includes so much scripture (which is awesome). A verse I am now memorizing is, "..whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all" (Mark 10:33-34). Wow.

Sharing that with you probably opens up so many cans of worms, it's ridiculous. But I need that. I need Christ's death, I need the power of His love, and I need the constant reminder to be like Him. He is the greatest of all, and He gave all.

Let's live like Him.
