Desperation

It's amazing to see how desperate we are for God, yet how we can't see that desperation until HE reveals it to us. Lately I have just yearned to be with Jesus. I won't lie to you and say that I have satisfied that yearning every time. In fact, I haven't more times than I have - something that is quite humbling to admit. I feel like Paul when he is writing to the Romans and says 'what I want to do I don't do, but what I don't want to do, I do.' (paraphrased of course). Yet I have been jobless for the last year now and in the last few months have needed Jesus more than ever. I just recently started school at the local community college and realized that it will be a great opportunity for me to share my thoughts on the Lord and how everything we do comes as a result of our worldview of God (I'm very excited about my ethics class!) :)
God is everywhere and we cannot escape our need for him. I'm looking forward to this school year to see what he does in my life as he reminds me of my desperate need for him. My prayer is that he will show me how to show those around me in my classes and (hopefully) my work environment as I do what I want to do and press into him more and more! I pray that for you as well. :)
