Have you ever had second guesses about different situations in your life? It's like God places things in front of you and says "Go!" or "Do this" and you end up asking yourself why or how?
So, I find myself asking him, "WHY ME, Lord?" and i remember finding these verses a while back... only to remind me of what he says.
"For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples." Deuteronomy 7:6-7
It just amazes me; How he sees me as the fewest of people. I really like that thought, my heart breaks at that thought! He loves you all the same... it's just like tonight I was struck with burdening thoughts and this really helped, He chose me! :) Not because I am like everyone else, but because I am different! It is amazing! :)
I just think about all the time that I spend wasting doing things for myself instead of what I should be doing... For him... Because He is my Lover. The only one in my life right now!
This song has been so helpful for me in this time of my life. It is The David Crowder Band's "How He Loves Us"
He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
And oh, how He loves us oh
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all
He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
And oh, how He loves us oh,
Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all
He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
And we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If His grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
And heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way…
That He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
(check it out!) It is beautiful!)

So, I just needed to share this... It was on my heart tonight! I need to sink into him and not into what others think of me!
Love Ya All,

P.S. I am going to be pretty busy this week with writing and packing (I need to start packing my apartment up so that I can get stuff moved back home before the end of the semester.)
I will let you all know as soon as I hear about Australia!
