feelings

Feelings...they tend to sway perspective don't you think. Feelings aren't everything, that's for sure. Maturity must be in the ability to live life not by our feelings or emotions but by the truths of God. I would not want to be one who only sees God in the big encounters but instead one who doesn't miss Him in the simplicities of life. He's always present, for that truth I am so thankful. O the fun to encounter Him in a great prayer or worship session or conference but I pray I stop missing him in the simpler seasons of life, and begin to walk in the truth that His presence is with me every moment of every day. He is so good, so gracious, and loves us so much.

jen, i have been realizing and praying this same thing...that i wouldn't miss Him in the simple things! that i would see Him in every little thing through out the day! and seriously, just 20 min. ago i was praying that i would not live off of my emotions and feelings but that i would live off of Him and give Him everything!
well i love you and thank you for posting this! i miss your wonderful smile and joy! i hope to see you someday soon rather than later! have a blessed day!
