Twas the night before Thanksgiving...

Twas the night before Thanksgiving and all through the house....ok, not really. I am thankful for some new insight that I have with God and what he has confirmed in my life.  I have been walking with God for about 16 years already and yet I feel somedays that we just started our relationship a few years ago.  It never ceases to amaze me that God is still speaking to me loud and clear and that when I listen, He shows me some pretty cool things.  No matter how good things are going.  Even when your marriage is good, the kids are healthy and the bills are paid.  Circumstances are fine, careers are on the positive and friends are faithful, some things are just more important.  Even as Christians, we try to fill a void that only Christ can fill.  We still look to church, to our pastors and leaders, and even to good Christian friends.  But to no avail, only Jesus can do something in us and with us that makes perfect sense.  Its only his presence and purpose that we can have life abundantly.  Nothing else really matters...nothing....
