I can't get over this:

"With what shall I come before the LORD and bow down before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." -Micah 6:6-8

"For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings." -Hosea 6:6

"You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." -Psalm 51:16-17

What does God want? Does he want me to go to church? Does he want me to tithe? Should I take communion? Should I sing? Does he want me to pray? Does he want me to give up sin?

No.

No. He wants my heart! He wants me know Him. He wants me to love Him and to love others. Is it not obvious? He wants my heart, and the rest will come with it. I will go to church for fellowship and for growth. I will pray because I want to seek Him. And I will give up sin because He wants me to and I love Him.

What other God is like Him?

Today I love:

  • dressing up
  • Keane
  • hearing "thank you"
  • waiting
  • talking in my sleep
  • turning my thoughts upwards
  • serving
  • bananas in cereal
  • the girls on my floor and in my core

How amazing is it that my God is completely reliable, trustworthy, and unfailing?

You can pray for:

  • Love for my friends--love like God loves them
  • Patience in waiting for them to grow up (me too--I'm still a child)
  • Forgiveness for one (and many) who broke my heart and continue(s) to disappoint me
  • Listening ears to hear God's direction for my summer and for next school year, and that my desires and my judgements won't get in the way of God's plan for me
  • Singleness of heart... whatever that means... whether it be an undistracted devotion to my King, or something else I don't understand
  • Healing... still...

My love language is words of affirmation, therefore, the fact that you haven't said anything is KILLING me.

...Okay, not killing, but really upsetting me...

The PAC is so much kinder during the day, bathed in sunshine and silent air, rather than in the night when the wind blows so hard my tears freeze onto my cheeks.

Thank God for such a beautiful day!
