Gone//A Man After God's Own Heart

Yesterday, the 18th of July and Kazuki left for Japan. He's gone for another year or so. Despite that, I had a fun day with Stephanie, Stacey, Amy, Alice, John, Andy, and Howard.

Toward the end of the day, we were at church and I picked up a book in our church's library. It's called, "A Man After God's Own Heart" by Jim George. I started reading last night when I got home and it brought tears to my eyes when I read about King David. God is continously telling us, everywhere we go, that we are imperfect, but that's okay, that's alright to Him. God doesn't care that we are imperfect, He only cares about our hearts. He wants our heart to follow Him and it doesn't matter about your past, because he doesn't look at that. I've only read two and a half chapters, not including the prologue of this book, and I'm already this touched by how Jim George conveys God's desire. So here's a question for everyone. When God looks at your life, what does He look for? That goes to the subject of imperfection. It goes to King David. If you know the story of King David, he wasn't someone you'd think that should be desired by God. But he was because despite all of the sins he did, his heart followed God's will. So are you willing to do what God wants to you do?

When I woke up and remembered that Stephanie and Alice were coming over today, I quickly went to the restroom to freshen up since I had just woke up. I then saw that my right eye was redish pink. I panic'd about it because I didn't know how it happened. I started to pray in the restroom, where I always had my privacy from others when I needed it. And now it's 1:46pm and my eye is getting better. Praise God! :]

after my own heart; he will do everything
I want him to do" - Acts 13:22
