He is jealous for me

What simple words, with such a powerful meaning. It's amazing to think that God is jealous for me. 

 Exodus 20: 1 And God spoke all these words, saying,

2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

3 “You shall have no other gods before me.

4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5 You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

God loves us so much, it's an indescribable amount. God's love is incomprehensible!

One passage of scripture I really like that is very powerful is 1 Corinthians 13:1-3

1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

It just makes me realize how pointless life is without love, without God. Without Him there is no point to living at all. The faith I have, though it is incredibly small, is a gift. I never want to let it go. I want to grow wiser in the wisdom of the Lord, and grow closer to him. 

Tonight I really miss camp. A lot. I miss the special time I had with God in the outdoors. We had some good times. I would like to find a good spot to just go sit and read and write about the Lord. I'm still working on that, hopefully I will find a good, private spot for it. 

In other news, I had to take my car to the shop today to get a new ignition switch. It's a shame, but at least I'm not having to replace something a lot more expensive! I am quite grateful for my set of wheels. Speaking of things I'm grateful for, Thomas and I went to mobile home trailer parks today! Sketch, right? Well they were pretty decent looking, safe, heck! They even looked cute! I really can't wait to live in one! haha

I have gotten a LOT of wedding stuff planned. It's crazy, and I hope I've thought of everything. My wedding is by no means super formal. I mean, it's as formal as it can get. My parents can't afford to pay more than $200.00, bless their sweet souls. God has definitely been blessing me with good ideas to save money. I know my wedding day will be very sweet, simple, and cozy. Now the only thing that's financially big is living on our own, but somehow I have this permeating feeling of peace about it. I know money will be tighter than a pair of skinny jeans on an emo kid, but I know even better that God will provide. I know it deep down in my heart! 

Anyways, time for a busy day tomorrow. Goodnight.
