The last chapter of Jonah has really gotten me thinking about how I look at certain people. I've found out that there are pieces of me that would rather love on myself more than love on others.
I've too long lived in the shade. It's time to engage. Whatever that means!

I want to want......?
It's funny how passionate someone can be about something, and how quickly they can become more passionate about something else in an instant.
God's design is confusing at times. The "heart" is a major communicator to the mind...and yet it has become so deceitful. So while making decisions and living life, how can I not be on my face pleading with God to show me what is righteous? How can I so easily forget that wisdom and understanding begin with the fear of the Lord? Some days/moments I simply do not want Him enough. I want to want Him, and that makes no logical since at all. Without Him pursuing me, I'm not pursuing Him. God is good. I want to want Him.
