Some More Thoughts
I am sitting here in Web Page Design. I am bored and my phone won't pull up Facebook. Oh well I shall survive. Man I wish it wasn't so complicating as it was back in the day. Today's generation is so into technology (which can be a good thing) but some let it overtake their life. Maybe it's good it's my phone isn't working. I had it out during break and my friends were talking. I had a thought "I shouldn't neglect my friends here, I can get on Facebook later." Back in the day people actually wrote letters to each other, with their actual handwriting. Something is personal about that. I believe a lot of us have lost the personal touch. We all are rushing about and so filled with TV and Computers and Cell phones. I know that I feel like in such a rush at times. And I also have noticed how selfish I am at times. When my mom asks me to do something and inside I am like "I don't want to!'' And all I am doing is playing on a stupid phone. I am so glad that the Lord is opening my eyes and showing me where I am failing. I know by His grace and mercy I can be made new. This week 2 Corinthians 13:4 has been in my heart- "For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you." In our weakness is when we submit ourself to Him and say "Lord you take over, I am weak, but you are strong." That song "Just a Closer Walk" goes through my head. "I am weak, but thou are strong!" Our God is so amazing. His word is so simple the way he reveals it. It must be by His Spirit. Our Flesh is weak and enmity towards God. But His Spirit is willing and it's Truth!

Looking Up to Jesus
Hmm...how should I start this....I don't want to sound like I am desperate to have a boyfriend. Even thought sometimes my heart desperatly cries "When God? When?" But the Spirit inside of me is like "Set your affection on things above." Look to Jesus..let him be your wholeness in this lonliness. Oh it is so hard sometimes! You look around and you see other couples. I always have to remind myself "Your day is coming Tiffany!" I know God is trying to teach me patience and to get my heart totally focused on Him. I know I have a work to do for him. But this flesh wants to focus on the things at hand. That is all the flesh can see. But the spirit sees the things that are eternal and life everlasting! For we walk by faith and not by sight. We should ask for blinders on our eyes. So we won't look to the left and to the right, but straight at Him! I know my Man is coming. Right now though I have to look to Jesus. He is the only one who can satisfy the deepest longing and desire in the heart!
