I read a passage from James today that has kept my head spinning all day. James 4:1-5 talks about two things that really hit home with me. 1.) verse 1 talks about quarrels and fights starting from a battle that goes on inside me. I don't spend much time thinking about this battle. Today I did. Inside my spirit there is a constant struggle it seems to choose and live that way God wants or choose my own way. It has a direct connection with quarrels and fights around me. What an important battle? 2.) verse 5 says God jealousy longs for the spirit which he made dwell in us. God is a jealous God. He wants not just some of me... or a little of me... ALL of me. Something about how these passages are written just warms me. It's almost soothing. It makes me want more to connect with God in a deep profound way. Passages like this make me think of passages like Zephaniah 3:17... God rejoices over me. Even me. As many times as I do dumb things and make mistakes God still looks at me and says, "That is my boy". Tonight I go to sleep in awe of God. It feels good. It feels right.
I caught two fish today at my parents lake house. A couple of fun... nice bass. Tonighht after my mom's birthday party we ended up catching one catfish after 4 poles sat in the water for nearly 3 hours. Nice catfish, but broke the line at the last minute. Heath thought it was his fault. I think it was just bad line. Tozer got a new bag of food tonight and a new trash can to hold his grub. He was excited. I think.
