| Well, I really had lots to say when I "typed" that last post, but I didn't feel like writing everything down would be ... appropriate. People would throw tomatoes.
My grandma gave me this really cool vintage-looking necklace that she used to wear today. It's a real fancy one that she wore to her prom... heh. I love it. I love my grandma. She can beat up your grandma.
My cousins just left like an hour ago, and that makes me really sad, but I love them just the same.... Zach is the SWEETEST guy anyone could ever meet. Just letting you all know 
I'm going skiing with my youth group to not ski. Awesome, right?
The story of Job (I think...) has been going through my mind a lot, lately. The story of how he had so much stuff. He had an amazing amount of land, he had many, many servants, he had a ginormous family, and he had such a wonderful life, but not only did he have all that stuff, he was an amazingly good Christian. His relationship with God was one of many to admire. But one day, Satan decided to test Job and try to tempt him. Job ended up a penniless beggar with absolutely no family or friends, but God saw that his heart stayed the same. Job kept saying "Praise be to God, for He has given, and He has taken away". How amazing is that? I mean, losing a friend has caused me incredible amounts of pain and mourning, but losing EVERYTHING? Everything would mean going out and walking the cold, hard strees alone, knowing that you didn't have any human to run to, for they were either dead or had abandoned you. Everything would be an amazing loss, and Job is an amazing man to keep heart and praise God all the same. Honestly, if I was in his shoes, i would seriously consider what I wanted to do instead of what God wanted, but then, there is that verse that "neither height, nor depth, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future...can separate us from Christ's love". Well, have a wonderful week everyone.
have fun at ... school. ugh..drag.
love, jordan |
