yesterday during my biblical theology and interpretations class i was reminded of what my desire was in life, especially after P's death... to never forget God's goodness and faithfulness in my life. i remember writing blogs about it... so in class we were talking about how the israelites forgot... they kept forgetting and not only that they forgot to tell their children so generations were forgetting about what God had done for His people. i don't want to forget. God is so good... He has been and continues to be faithful in my life, providing for our every need.
then it made me think of how important today is for we don't know what tomorrow holds or if there even is a tomorrow. i've been super busy with school work lately and my poor daughter has been good at entertaining herself. today i took her out... i still have a couple papers to write and tons of pages to read for classes, but i don't want to miss time with my daughter.... moments i know i will regret having missed. i've said this before, but i don't strive to get an A. it would be nice, but it's just not priority to me... so we went and had lots of fun... one of the good things included a chocolate cake shake from our favorite portillos.
let's not forget...
i didn't want to get comfortable here in the states. i feel like i have been because i have forgotten the urgency i felt over the years... the urgency of the Kingdom... urgency of the people around me... i've been busy with my own life (yes i know that my school work is for the glory of God), but i need to look beyond me. Lord let me not forget... let me not forget to see the people around me!!!
my professor was talking about how whenever the israelites forgot, it was like they were pushing a "misery" button for themselves... with forgetting came misery!! Lord i do not want to forget!!!
okay... after a good day with my girl... i am off to write my paper!!
