What God Intends
I would like to do nothing but what I was made to do. I am sure this is what God intends. How shall I know what that is except in quietness? How can I listen if I am full of talk? I must cease the rehearsal of personal wants and feelings, willingly release things that seem important but in fact have nothing to do with my true goal. The itch to know and to have and to be anything other than what God intends me to know, to have, to be must go.

My husband and I have been dwelling on just the same; how easy it is to be enticed by the desires of this world, how disgusting it is when we are unfaithful to our God by having intimate long term 'realationships' with those things...
Discipline and priority in prayer and communion with God is so important. Jesus modelled that for us in Mark 1:35.
Eyes on God, not others is the key! (I believe that's where facebook tugs the heart and eyes in a negative way)
Thanks for sharing this, Katie! Love you!
