Bible Study/My Thoughts

Jeremiah 51:58
The city walls of Babylon – those massive walls, will be flattened. And those city gates – huge gates, will be set on fire. The harder you work at this empty life, the less you are. Nothing comes of ambition like this, but ashes.

The main point to this verse - being that the harder you work at a life that is not of God, the less you are and the less you become. Nothing comes of a life that is not dedicated to serving and living for God, only ashes and suffering. It is an amazing verse and certainly inspires me to get right certain things in my life. I would rather be broke and serving God, than rich and snobby, because having money is a bad thing. That is something that I do struggle with a lot I guess, although not as much as other people. I want to strive to go hard out for God, to influence the lives of young people, as given in a vision to me by God.

Interesting things are happening in my life at the moment, but I am really trying to stay positive. Shanelle and Chris are moving in 7 days. Nana has an aggressive form of bladder cancer and it isn’t looking good at all, and she is being incredibly unfair at mum, abusing her after everything that she has done for her and Poppa in the last six months. I have been praying a lot that the situation will sort itself out according to the will and purpose of God, and I have gotten a lot of strength out of being positive about everything. I am not sure how I will handle living just with mum and dad when Shanelle leaves but I will deal with that when that comes up, but I think Primal and Church this week might cause me to be a bit more emotional than I have been lately, and because Tara is leaving this week as well isn’t that great either. She has been a really great friend and I have learnt so much off her. I will really miss her.
So yeah, that is where things are at right now for me, I have this great passion for God at the moment which is absolutely fantastic!!! Now I am a bit hungry, and all sweaty and yuck because the weather is so freakin hot lol.
