This week has been nothing but average. I had my first big exam on tuesday...but I guess I should get used to it, because I've got 4 or 5 more this coming week. There was a worldview forum on thursday about the gay marriage bill that I really wanted to go to, but I couldn't because I scheduled worship team right over it...but I made someone promise to tell me all about it. I'm hoping it'll be a help considering my first paper in hermeneutics is on homosexuals in the church.
Oh, this is cool...for one of my classes I had to choose a passage of scripture and just meditate on it...so I went to Luke 2 to look into the story of Jesus as a boy. Out of that whole story, God really pulled me into just a few lines out of the whole story where Jesus is responding to his parents saying, "Why were you searching for me? Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?" What really stuck out to me was two words. The word "know" and the word "had." You can break this down into two essential things...he asked, "Didn't you KNOW?...I HAD to be in my Father's (capital F) house." He HAD to be there, it was as if he didn't have a choice. It was his only desire to be in the presence of his holy Father. So here's my prayer: God, make my only desire to be in Your presence.

Great insight Leanne! You might want to ask the tech dept. if they taped the WV forum - they usually do. Sounds like an interesting paper as well; I would love to do it when you finish. It was great to spend some time with you while I was home. Your enthusiasm for the God and all that flows from Him is a constant encouragement to me. Talk to you soon.
Yours,
JR
