Blog Boycotters

Well, I have no pics of Emme to post because SHE'S NOT HERE. It's been a rough night since I left bible study....missing the closeness of my little one, BUT I am so thankful that my sweet friend said, "Here's the deal, I'm gonna do this for you". Anyway, I love you E and you're gonna be a GREAT mommy!
So I'm sitting here on the computer, instead of being in the jacuzzi tub like I should be, reading a friend's blog, and it was linked to this other blog that I got to reading (I completely don't know this girl), and all of the sudden God spoke to me. That's right, you blog boycotters (AMY G), God spoke to me through a blog! The gist of it was about purpose and places. Which may not make sense to any of you because maybe tonight it was just meant for me, but I'll share the scripture anyway.

........Through the prophet, Jeremiah, God told them, “You’re not going home any time soon, so start making your lives here. Plant gardens, buy homes, let your children get married, and pray for the peace and prosperity of the place where you’re currently living because, by doing that, you too will be blessed with peace and prosperity” (Jeremiah 29:5-7). Don’t invest your energy in hopes of leaving; instead invest your energy in the people around you. Don’t be physically present but mentally somewhere else, thinking of the future or the past, thinking of someplace else. Our journey with Jesus requires we be fully present in the present. You may feel like you’re in exile too, but God is still working in your life; and his message to you is: Dig in and fully embrace the life around you.

To my Wed. night girls....I have been so blessed through our fellowship and friendships!! Thank you for accepting me, and listening to all of my stories! :)
