So it is the end of Lent. The end of my Facebook fast. Yet, I still am scared to log on. I know I will still love all the information I read and addict myself to learning about people through virtual relationships.
Yet, these past 40 days have been so great.
I have actually hung out with people. If you are one of the lucky ones I have hung out with in the past 40 days, I appreciate you. All were relationships that I have left to facebook to handle for me, yet I still cherish them-- Just in a lazy way. :/ I do love you. All of you.
Not only have I hung out with people, I have actually done what one of the things I love most in the world: READ! :)
Almost 20 books to be exact. And I have over 80 checked out from the library at any given time. (Don't worry-- I've only racked up $2.00 in fines so far. :))
My hope and prayer for myself for the next... forever is:
That I may daily and continually remember the significance of relationships.
That I will live my life reflecting the knowledge that God is a relational being who designed us to be in relationship with one another.
That I need to put time and effort into my friends-- believers and non-- to pour out the love of Christ onto them at all times.
That I take time for myself and my relationship with Jesus.
That I spend time doing what I love-- reading.
That I spend time with my family-- especially my sisters.
That I don't get overwhelmed by the world.
That I realize how much of an impact my words and actions make on others.
That I use that power carefully and intentionally filled with love and peace.
That I let go of inactivity and live each moment for Him.
A wise sage once said, it is not easy being green. I would love people to partner with me on this. At least pray for me every once in a while. I would greatly appreciate it. :)
And on this day, you know, the one that is THE most significant day for all of Christ's followers, may you burn with the desire to know Him more and more. That you may seek Him and find Him. That you desire to live out the hope that is represented, not only in the cross-- but what happened 3 days later.
He is great. Awesome. Powerful. Sovereign. Almighty. One. Compassionate. Loving. Hope. Peace. Love. Creator. Forgiver. Blesser. Intimate.
[[Please-- this list is never-ending, add on your own descriptions. :)]]
