89.
I am so thankful for the friends God gave to me while I was in college. I got to spend several hours with one of them yesterday!

From Judges 8 this morning...this phrase was my "golden nugget" this morning..."faint but pursuing." This is in context of the story of Gideon.
And Daniel's longest sentence so far: "Benton sleep in Lou's bed a few days ago."
"The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will remain forever." Psalm 37:18

We have been enjoying a week long missions conference at church this week! I cannot tell you how my heart has been challenged as I have heard testimony of God's grace in the hearts of the missionaries who are with us, and as we have been exposed to various cultures.
One of the things that has struck me as I have watched the various presentations is the faces. Faces of people. People who need Jesus, just like I need Jesus.
The following text from a hymn has come to mind over and over again this week:
"Look to the Throne for the sake of His name;
Think of the throng who will share in His reign.
Some for whose souls we pray
Will share our joy that day,
Joining our song for the sake of His name!"
God is drawing people from every tribe, tongue and nation...for the sake of His name. Am I obeying the commission He gave to me to make disciples? Starting in my home, outside my doorstep, and around the World? We serve a Great God, the One True God. We have a relationship with our Creator if we know Christ! Thank you, Jesus!!!

Today was our last day of Bible Club for this year. I am so thankful for the opportunity God gave me to be a part of it this semester. The teaching was just as much for my own heart as it was for the kid's! Amazing how God's word never gets old!!!

83, 84, 85/365
83. It was a spring cleaning day. Acutally more like spring decluttering. More cleaning is needed, but "less is more" is becoming more of a reality! Sarah helped me. I love my sister!
84. We began missions conference at church. I was so thankful for Sunday morning's message. A reminder that the call to "discipleship" isn't just for us with unbelievers/new believers, it is for the whole church, all the time, with each other. We are to be encouraging and exhorting one another in Christ and growing together in Him. Not just chatting about the weather :). Guilty as charged! Oh that I would grow in my love for fellow believers. God has been gracious to convict my heart of this need over the last few months.
85. This was part of my reading for today...
Joshua 21
43 So the LORD gave to Israel all the land of which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and dwelt in it. 44 The LORD gave them rest all around, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers. And not a man of all their enemies stood against them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand. 45 Not a word failed of any good thing which the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.
My God accomplishes His will because He is God. He keeps His promises to men, even when we are not faithful to Him. He is our deliverer. He does what is good for His children. I think about the children of Israel from the moment they left Egypt until they made it to the Promised Land (the ones who actually made it). Sometimes I feel like I am a child wandering in the wilderness, and honestly I don't deserve to see the promised land! God is so longsuffering toward us. In Christ is my only hope, because apart from His work on the cross, and His intercession for me, there is no hope! "What a wonderful Savior is Jesus, my Jesus."
