God never ceases to amaze me. How does a God like Jeremiah presents to the Israelites and to Babylon itself, be so intimate and personal with me–each of us?  I simply marvel at this.

I have the picture of myself out so I can see it.  It seems silly and immature to need to look at this picture when I’m feeling tempted or insecure, but what’s so amazing is that when I look at this little guy I immediately know he is worth all that I’m doing to grow and that God is with him.  All of this takes me back to the counseling of 6 or 7 years ago when I began to journal to “little Earnie”.  My counselor told me this would be important so I could emotionally begin to know him and we could grow into being one.  Somehow I’m sure this connection is important and related to the journaling need so long ago.  I felt silly and immature then just as this makes me feel today.  However, it works so I’m going to keep it up as it fills a tremendous need I’ve had knowing God is with me.  Somehow this spiritual connection is what needs to be brought home to me.  I know God is with that little guy but I need to bring the truth home that He is equally with me today as He was with me as a child.

Well, I’m using the new computer to type this.  I’m sure any reader who is techy would know exactly what I was doing wrong yesterday, but now I too know.  It took me an hour or so to figure it out and now that I have I can be here each day.  I’m hoping this will be my last computer purchase!
