Often, I have to remind myself of Mississippi's positives (aka we don't dwell on the fact that there is almost NO cell service) but like I said, there are positives. 1. I see where I get my personality (and "looks") from, and 2. on a clear night- you can see what seems to be every star in the sky. In reality, "when I look at the stars, I feel like myself" (thank you Switchfoot). I'm sure by now, you are wondering how the heck this even applies. Well, Yesterday, I was telling you all about how sometimes I feel hopelessly lost...but on a clear, star filled night here- God and I have some nice chats. Just think...the maker of the stars, loves you. Not only that, he actually likes you and wants you to love and like him back. In the words of Donald Miller "...loving people is different from liking them. Loving people, in a general sense, almost feels like a moral obligation. Liking people is more compulsive. Liking someone means that you want to be around them and enjoy their company..." Whoa. He goes on to quote Luke 15:2- "This Man receives sinners and eats with them". Hmmm, interesting right? It just makes me think...no matter how unsure I am in life, no matter how lost I feel, God will always love & like me enough to stop and talk under the stars. You guys, that is crazy. I know that personally, I don't deserve it. We are never alone, and if we get lost in the darkness, God will rescue us if we ask. I think that is important to know as we go along this journey. Even if my Blogs get a little ADD for you...I hope you kinda get what I'm saying. In a general sense, don't get discouraged. We will achieve our goal of getting to know God, by golly! So, Imma end there. Maybe tomorrow will make more sense. -jennie
