I named my blog Jeremiah 17:7-10 because that is what I want to be, what I want my life to be. In that vein, most of what follows is an almost completely honest recording of where my heart and mind were at during some instances in my life, and how the Lord has dealt so kindly and faithfully with me in spite of all my failings and turnings-away. I say ‘almost completely honest’ because some thoughts were too horrible to put down, too irrational to believe, or just too dumb to even put to words. So, it is somewhat censored. But, truly, His love is incomprehensible and amazing, and I pray that He increase my fear of Him and His Word daily, if not minutely.
Jeremiah 17:7-10
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is in the LORD (Yahweh).
He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does
not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand
it? “I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, and give to every man
according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.”
I'm hoping to go out East to grad school in a few months, but it is all subject to what God wants. I set up this blog mostly because I am notoriously bad at keeping in touch with people, even people that I dearly love, so this will be a way for me to say once what I want a thousand friends to know. Since it is still more than nine months until I go, if I do, this is a bit premature, but I figure, this can be a record for me, too, of all the events and decisions that led up to my hoped-for departure.
