Its seems like the past two months, God has been stretching my emotional capacity again. I think of it like a rubber band and now it's snapping back and getting the best of me. I think I'm losing my mind.

On another note. A penny for your thoughts.
To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
Proverbs 21:3

Why do you suppose that righteousness and justice are compared with sacrifice? Is it that one is better than another? Is it saying that sacrifice isn't as acceptable if it's not in order to do righteousness and justice? I've been mulling over this for a couple of weeks & I'm afraid i'm not too good with the logical reasoning/figuring things out.

Hello again, blog.

For the past six weeks, blog posts have been at http://wheninfresno.wordpress.com/. Check it out.

Anyways, so since coming back from FUI, I've had a million thought swirling around my head. I'm trying to simultaneously remember the things God has shown me while trying to see how everything that happened at FUI fits into my whole life. It's crazy. It's a lot to think about. And the interesting tidbit that's striking me now isn't even FUI content related aside from the fact that I started reading Proverbs again in Fresno.

"By wisdom a house is built,
and by understanding it is established;
by knowledge the rooms are filled
with all precious and pleasant riches.
A wise man is full of strength,
and a man of knowledge enhances his might"
Proverbs 24:3-5

It always hits me hard how God will bless you extravagantly when you pursue wisdom and discernment. As I think about my future and the rest of my life, if God isn't at the very center of all of my decisions now, how terrible would the foundation of my life be? I want my life to be built on wisdom. I don't want to get somewhere five years down the road and constantly patching cracks and leaks in my house because I have a crappy foundation. Yeah...no thank you. I choose Jesus now.

I believe, help my unbelief.
