She's Not Even in this Study!

I wanted to share a post from our daughter Alicia's blog. Yes, it's written in all lower case and uses some abbreviations such as idk (which translates into I don't know for those of you without a texting teenager) but I thought it really applied to what we've been learning which is basically becoming less so He can become more. I sure wish I knew what she knows already at 19 when I was that young. Thank you Lord for giving me a child that pursues You!

Here you go....

so...lately, God has been continuing to be near to my heart. i have found such a blessing and excitement from telling people what He has done for me lately and the many ways that i have grown. many people check in on and me and see how i am really doing and it is the perfect opportunity to share that in the midst of heartbreak i feel closest to the Lord, ironic huh? not so much, at all. it is the moments when we are truly broken we experience Him all the more. makes me want to be broken a lot more often...was reminded yesterday what john piper told us at passion. when we feel most insiginifcant, we have the most joy. also that the Lord wants us to worship Him and give Him glory not for His selfishness, but out of His love for us. what i mean to say is...God knows we can only experience complete joy when we are completely focused on Him; therefore, He desires our worship and praise because that is when we are tuly complete. idk if that makes any sense or not. still grasping God's greatness. will be forever, actually. okay-now to school
