| I need to do something. I just have to. I'm not comfortable with this idleness. There is so much inside me that wants to be released, needs to be used. I know what I am capable of, I know the gifts & talents I have been given. It literally makes my insides hurt to not be making use of them. Really all I want is to be in school. Waiting to hear back from FIT is torture. And then, what if I don't get in? I'm determined to get my degree. I will go back to school, whatever school that may be. There is just so much in my heart, so much I want to do, so much I want to be doing. I know everything will be okay. I know that all of this happening for many good and purposeful reasons. Staying still is just so hard for me to do. Impatience is surely my greatest downfall. I need prayer. Lots and lotssss of it.

| Early morning caressing you
calming your racing heart slowly
you rise to face another day maybe a
beautiful day but you know today
will let you down just as yesterday
let you down searching for your
smile buried deep you find it you
wear it for coffee for lunch by
dinner time your smile starts to fade
falling with the setting sun the day
enters the darkness of night the
weight of your lips pulls on your
kind kind face overtaking your soft
soft eyes drifting into the loneliness
of sleep with the moon i am waiting
with the moon i am waiting for you.

| Return to Me; for I have sought after you, but you have continued on in pursuit of your own ways. I have called to you, but you have disregarded Me. I have placed obstacles in your path, hoping that you would stop and consider and ask of Me, but you have obstinately and determinedly forged on ahead.
Have you learned no wisdom? Have past lessons fled your mind? Are my dealings with you forgotten?
O stubborn and rebellious child, has My love no longer the power to melt your heart? Have My words that you once so treasured become of no value to you?
Put down your anxieties, and trust me for everything. You need nothing but what I am fully able to supply, with no effort on your part. I do not ask all My children to live in so complete a degree of trust, but I require it of you, because you cannot please Me with anything else.
You are weary, and you should be strong. You are encumbered, and I would have you be free. You are hindered by undue concerns, when you should be abounding in joy.
Come back into My perfect will, and finish the task I have assigned you. Anything else is sin. What may be legitimate for another is not for you.
Come close to Me, and I will minister to you and revive your spirit. So shall you go on, even though the climb is steeper than ever before.
What an amazing, loving, caring, good God we serve. There is none like Him.

| Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him. Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
"For You will light my lamp; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness." Psalm 18:28
O My children, obey My words. Do not wander in unbelief and darkness, but let the Scripture shine as a light upon your path. My Word shall be life to you, for My commandments are given for your health and preservation. They will guard you from folly and guide you away from danger.
Hide My commandments in your heart, and make them the law of your life. Cherish my words, and take not lightly the least of them. I have not given them to bind you, but to bring you into the life of greatest joy and truest liberty.
I have asked you to give, in order that I may bless you more. I have challenged you to pray, so that I may respond and help you. I have asked you to rejoice, in order to keep you from being swallowed up by anxieties. I have asked you to be humble, to protect you from the calamities that fall upon the proud. I have asked you to forgive, in order to make your heart fit to receive My forgiveness. I have asked you not to love the world, for I would have you released from unnecessary entanglements, free to follow Me.
Sanctification is accomplished in no one by accident. Learn my rules, and put them into practice consistently, if you desire to see progress in the growth of your soul. Holiness is not a feeling--it is the end product of obedience. Purity is not a gift--it is the result of repentance and serious pursuit of God.
