Give Me More.

Through the hustle and bustle of summer I have neglected my blog.  My summer has consisted of being a part time Mom and getting paid to do it.  Some days my job can be challenging through the two year old who wants more loving, more food, more to drink, more more more and I get so tired sometimes.  When I look at this sweet child I think about what God has been teaching me.  He has been teaching me to want more and has opened up my eyes and heart to it.


I think about the book I have been reading, Radical by David Platt, and I think about a story he told.  He told of Secret Churches that he would attend while he was in China (I think? Don't quote me).  At these churches people would come from all over and meet in these tiny hidden rooms just to learn more about the Bible and God.  They wanted more and more of him.  They didn't care how long it would take, if it was hours or days, they wanted to know more.  


I also think about the high school girls that I lead a bible study for and just to see the Lord at work in them.  We always run bible study to the very end of time.  I see their hearts burning for the Lord and they just want more.


And then I think about myself these past couple of weeks and how I have been putting my relationship with the Lord on the back burner.  I was stuck in a funk where I wasn't in a bible study so I didn't know where to read and then Saturday night I was checking out my churches blog and looky there...a Six Month Reading Plan of the New Testament.  Just what I was longing for.  More of the Lord.  (If you are looking to deeper your walk with the Lord by getting more into the Word you should really check this out Six Month Reading plan)
