We forget that Jesus Christ is the same today, when He is sitting on the throne, as He was yesterday, when He trod the pathways of our world. In this forgetfulness how much we miss! What He was, that He is. What He said, that He says. The Gospels are simply specimens of the life that He is ever living; they are leaves torn out of the diary of His unchangeable Being Today He is engaged in washing the feet of His disciples, soiled with their wilderness journeyings. Yes, that charming incident is having its fulfillment in you, my friend, if only you do not refuse the lowly loving offices of Him whom we call Master and Lord, but who still girds Himself and comes forth to serve. And we must have this incessant cleansing if we would keep aright. It is not enough to look back to an hour when we first knelt at the feet of the Son of God for pardon and heard Him say, “Your sins, which are many, are all forgiven.” We need daily, hourly cleansing from daily, hourly sin.

I had purchased a one-year bible about a week ago. I also have good intentions on finishing it within two years..haha! You know..I'm trying to commit more time to God and to meditate on His Word. I'm also realizing that the world is trying to pull me back..bombarding me with meaningless tasks that seem meaningful before I'm about to do them. Afterwards though, I feel empty and full of guilt. I feel like a piece of coal that is out of the fire cooling off. This is how I've been feeling this past week after missing Sunday service and not reading my bible or meditating on Him. It's the pitts. I'm going to be starting my two week vacation starting this Sunday. I so look forward to attending Wednesday service (a night I usually work)! 
There's nothing better than to be with God's people and to share in His love!
I missed attending last Sunday's service at my fellowship. I ran this 5K fun benefiting Crohn's and colitis disease and had given $100 in pledges. My personal trainer has Crohn's disease and I wanted to support him in his efforts in giving to this cause. Our team collected over $1200. Even though we raised this amount in hopes to find a cure, if we don't look to God for healing, all of this effort is in vain. It's like building a house on sinking sand...raising funds without considering God that is. Some of the team names were hilarious I will say! "Short track", "Applesauce", "Buttweiser", "Gotta Go Gotta Go", "The Semi-Colons", etc. Where do these people come up with these names? LOL! This is my third year participating in this event. I had fun! I am looking foward to going back to church though...in five hours from now!
Listening to Barlow Girl. This trio of ladies have a wonderful harmony. After listening to "I Need You To Love Me" , I just kept setting the player on repeat. Nice tune with lyrics that I can relate to.
Why, why are You still here with me?
Didn't You see what I've done?
In my shame I want to run and hide myself
But it's here I see the truth
I don't deserve You
(Chorus:)
But I need You to love me, and I
I won't keep my heart from You this time
And I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need You to love me
I, I have wasted so much time
Pushing You away from me
I just never saw how much You could cherish me
Cuz You're a God who has all things
And still You want me
(Chorus)
Your love makes me forget what I have been
Your love makes me see who I really am
Your love makes me forget what I have been
(Chorus)
