Did a lot of talking on the last post, to make up for it here is a picture of the surrounding nature I got to see for all of two seconds before my parents and I continued our shopping adventures:

The Heights and Depths of His Love

-
This last little paragraph from a Spurgeon devotional this morning just gave me a new energy with which to start my day.  It's one of those rainy icky mornings where I know I have much ahead of me and should probably already be at school but I'm still in pajamas in bed...

Sacrifice isn't fun or easy, but I pray the Lord is teaching me to love it because it's far more worth it to be fixed on His ways rather than my own. Make me committed Lord Jesus that I may ever meditate on the beauty of Your laws and not forget Your word.
