Almost there...

We are almost done with school and things are winding down and starting up all at the same time. I really want to make use of the time I will have here at home. Just sit back and catch up on breathing, writing, and start some new hobbies. I was sitting on my bed earlier today and I was thinking about how different its going to be without my girl friends and helping them get through all the boy promblems and stuff. Its going to be really weird, because my sisters don't have boy problems, maybe its time for a different arena! Well anyway, I should be studying right now, but unstead I am writing out some of the things I had in my devotions today!

I was reading in the book He that is Spiritual: "Because the "infection" of sin is always in us, we need every moment "the conquering counteration of the Spirit."

"Spirituality hinders sin, but should never hinder the friendship and confidence of sinners (Luke 15:1). Who can see the failures of others more than the one who has spiritual vision? And because of this fact, who needs more the divine power to keep from becoming critical, with all that follows with it?

"If our kind of spirituality makes Christ unattractive to others, it needs some drastic changes."

"It will not do to impersonate ideals or to imitate others. Just here is the great danger in analyzing experiences. Some are so easily induced to try to imitate someone else."

" We are never wonderful saints of whom God may justly be proud: we are His little children, immature and filled with foolishness, with whom He is endlessly patient and on whom He has been pleased to set all His infinite heart of love. He is wonderful. We are not."

" He came not to reveal Himself but to make Christ real to the heart, and through the heart, of man."
