It's mostly scripture...

This is a picture of wild flowers, taken last summer in the Colorado Rockies. Ever thought it would be nice to live like a wild flower? Sounds better than more school work. School isn't horrible, I just can't believe that it starts this Tuesday. Last year I was really excited to come back and start the next semester, but after my fall chaos, God will have to get me through the next. Last night I woke up every two hours because of a cold. ironic how rest ends. That's all for now, well, no.

I finally understood a this part of scripture . I just thought it was another example of God wanting us to live in a relationship with him and the world. It's amazing how thick my head is, and I'm working out stubborn pride in relinquishing control to the Father.

Genesis 12

The Call of Abram

1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.
2 "I will make you into a great nation
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you."
******comment:learning to accept blessings so they may be given to others is a part of wanting our name to be great so God's name will.****************************

4 So Abram left, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Haran. 5 He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there.

******He was 75! I am just 19 and I want to leave, but this is a process of surrender in myself.

6 Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. 7 The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring [a] I will give this land." So he built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to him.

8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the LORD and called on the name of the LORD. 9 Then Abram set out and continued toward the Negev.

******I love Oswald Chambers and he says that Bethel was a symbol of communion, with God, and Ai a symbol of the world.

Think away!
