"Best of Me"
My friend Esther got married earlier today. 27 years young, I think. Hehhe. Found this song a couple days back through Pandora. I want it played on my wedding-picture-slideshow one day. :)
Congrats, Esther!
Congrats, Esther!

"What does thou here, Elijah?"
A week has passed since attending GYC. Life has settled back in. The new year has come in without notice it seems. I feel like I didn't have any time to think of my resolutions this year.
A message from the book of I Kings stirred my heart at that youth conference. A message on Elijah.
So I looked up the reference tonight, I Kings chapter 19. How funny, it's also where my bookmark was placed on my "Prophets & Kings"(E.G. White) reading, the reading that been abandoned for months. I'll share with you a sentence or two from my reading tonight.
"Much depends on the unceasing activity of those who are true and loyal, and for this reason Satan puts forth every possible effort to thwart the divine purpose to be wrought out through the obedient. He causes some to lose sight of their high and holy mission, and to become satisfied with the pleasures of this life" (PK 171).
A lot of things has happened since I last moved this, what seemed to be, immovable bookmark. Bookmark on my Ellen White reading and bookmark on my study Bible. I feel the Holy Spirit tugging me tonight, a whisper, for me to come out of this path leading only to destruction called pleasures of life.
"And he came there unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?

"And he came there unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
He said, I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts. For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away.
And he said, Go out and stand on the mount before the LORD. And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
And after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper."
~I Kings 13:9-12
