Thoughts From My Journal

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. " Psalm 37:4 Oh how beautiful those words are!

Some of my desires are to grow up to be a very useful tool for the Lord. I want to marry young (dad says not too young!:>) and have many children. I don't want to be the kind of young maiden that is all fired up about the Lord but very soon her flame is blown out. I want to be as a slow burning candle that is not easily blown out but steadily shines so that others may be comforted and drawn closer to Him. I love the Lord very much, but I know I do not love enough. I pray that one day when I die I will be completely "in love" with my saviour.

*** I still plan to write more about the conference. I just have not had time to get my thoughts together and thought I would share from my journal for now.

I also wished (and really thought) that I would marry young . . . but I'm still single with no prospects in sight! I'm slowly learning that I need to live God's desires.
