Long week

This week was hard. Whether it was having a bad morning due to not feeling well or running late, or to a bad evening due to any multitude of things, I couldn't just seem to have a good day. I was really getting discouraged. Then today was great. I had one minor issue earlier, but for the most part, today was amazing. I got to babysit three really sweet kids, sleep in, got some cleaning done, helped my dad move our exercise machine back inside so hopefully i'll start working out again. It was just a great day. But get this, tonight, I caught myself complaining. I started coughing and breathing hard and i was fixing to update my facebook status griping about not feeling well. Now granted, this would have been valid, but definitely not necessary. So I stopped, gave it some thought, and realized I had major attitude problems this week. My best friend lost her uncle and I'm being negative about over-sleeping. It's just been a real slap in the face and realization that I haven't been doing very well with keeping a positive attitude. Sorry to anyone this has affected.

Well, i suppose that is all :) time to talk with eric for a while then get some sleep. tomorrow is sunday :D

Jeremiah 5

One huge thing stood out to me in this passage. In verse one, God says "If you can find but one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth, I will forgive this city." ONE PERSON! You know what that says to me? First, my God truly desires to forgive me, to forgive my family, to forgive my nation, to forgive my world. How amazing! Secondly, my God is unimaginable. Who would ever think to forgive a whole group of people based on the honesty of one person. I can't hardly wrap my mind around that (of course thats how its meant to be. I wouldn't feel too confident about a God I could understand.) Thirdly, ONE PERSON! There are so many stinking people on the planet and this verse is telling me that "I", just one little spec, one little me could make a true difference. What if God, right this second, is looking for ONE person in America, one person "who deals honestly and seeks the truth". Would He see me. Would I be the one who would bring forgiveness to this nation. This really made me stop and think.

Jeremiah 4

Verses 1-4 is the Lord offering his conditions for Israel and Judah to return to him. Then the rest of the chapter, I can't quite decipher whether it is actually what happens to them or if it is what will happen to them if they don't accept the conditions and return to the Lord. Maybe the next chapter will reveal more on that information.

Sorry it has been a while since I wrote. I'm kind of bad at the whole habit thing. So here is attempt #2 of doing it every day :)

Hope everyone is having a great week. Monday was great for me but Tuesday and Wednesday, not so much. But I'm up on time and this morning is looking great so I'm determined today will be great! Gotta get ready and get to school now.
