hi all,
sorry it has taken me so long to get started on here.
just to let you know a little about me:
my name is juliea jenkins
i'm from ponchatoula, louisiana
political science major/children's ministry minor
passion: simply to help people
today i was contemplating my life...
depressed? not so much. i was mainly trying to remember it
i am now a senior at lee, and i was trying to remember where all the time has gone
and what exactly have i done with that time
maybe you're reading this trying to remember college
there are events that i'm sure meant a lot to me weeks ago have simply become a blur...
do you know what i'm talking about?
there's this story in the Bible
the story of nehemiah
a quick summary, you see, nehemiah left his position in babylon to help his people rebuild the ruined walls of jerusalem. through this endeavor the people and nehemiah rallied in the midst of conflict and opposition.
which bring us to chapter 9, my favorite, the people gathered confessing their sins and...wait...they gathered to remember what the Lord had done in their lives.
this part astounds me!
the people gathered and for the rest of the chapter remember the many things that God had done in their lives starting with abraham and listing every covenant, promise, suffering, sorrow, wonder, and sign.
if we can't remember what we ate for breakfast
can we remember what God has done in our lives?
relationships are the most fun when you remember the past
remembering the first time you held hands...your first date
our relationship with God should encompass remembering and therefore praising Him for what he's done in our lives
do you remember?
