Psalm 146:3, "Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save." (NIV)

i was just thinking today about mike leaving and also, all my good friends being strewn across the country. i have so many people to love, and almost none of them (adults anyhow:-) are here with me, in person. most of the time, i miss people. everyone knows i am a "people person." but... i am choosing to think of this deployment as my time to improve on, expand on, and give more time to my relationship with the Lord. all the time, i am saying that i don't have enough time to pray, read, journal and live out a relationship with God that involves... well, relationship. relationship means talking to one another, and listening. it involves time spent and time to be given. so... i am going to put my trust in my Creator, because He is the one who saves me. He is the one who can guide me and help me know who i am in Him, and who i need to be in order to be and grow into the person He wants me to be. i love all the people in my life, including my Lord and Savior, with whom i am looking forward to spending a little quality time.
