Hey all...

actually I should just say hey Victoria! Because I believe she is probably the only person that reads this thing that I know of... comment if I am wrong.

Sorry it's been a few weeks..for two weeks I was out at kamp kinship in the black hills one week as staff and the other week as a camper. And the week and a half after that i' ve been so busy with work and other things that I haven't really had time to update.

I just want to share with you something I learned while in devotion time this morning at the core.

Matthew 6:24 (The Message)

"You can't worship two gods at once. Loving one god, you'll end up hating the other. Adoration of one feeds contempt for the other. You can't worship God and Money both.

This concept I have always known..for years i've known it...but it really hit me hard this morning. I feel like some music I choose to listen to, excessive computer time, and many other things hold me back from being truly souled out to Jesus. It's something i've always known but now I really get it. In the past i've felt that God is "boring" because of all the things the world has out there for me..but now i'm starting to understand that those things will send me on a straight path towards NO WHERE. Which kind of goes along with the "you'll end up hating the other.." part of this verse. Of course I don't hate God but I feel like i'm not getting all that I could be getting from him and fully living out what he wants for my life because of some things in it. So i'm really happy that God spoke this to me today. I know this paragraph is me rambling pretty much and probably doesn't make complete since. So sorry about that.

8 weeks until i'm out of SOUTH DAKOTA :o !!
