"The Great House of God"

I am so absolutely exhausted! I worked almost 10 hours today. My husband does it everyday... but geez, when you are not used to it, that's a long time! Not to mention we were really busy, so not much time to sit down! My whole self aches!!

I wound up getting almost 36 hours this week!!! That excites me very much! (I was only scheduled 21) Next week will be crazy - (beginning Monday) I'm taking 12 hours worth of classes (50 minutes away) and am working 30 hours. It will be interesting! I'm pretty sure I can handle it though!! 3 of the days I get to start my morning at 5am.

I didn't have a lot of time to do anything productive today, but I was able to read a little:

I'm reading a book by Max Lucado called "The Great House of God." It's just about the only book on my shelf that I've not read. I read today that we work really hard and build elaborate houses for our bodies, but we neglect our souls... our spiritual homes are made of crap! We were inteded to reside in God the Father - to share residency with him! "Any place less than his is insufficient. Any place far from his is dangerous. Only the home built for your heart can protect your heart. And your Father wants you to dwell in him."

"I only ask one thing from the Lord. This is what I want: let me live in the Lord's house all my life." - Ps. 27:4

"We think of God as a deity to discuss, not a place to dwell. We think of God as a mysterious miracle worker, not a house to live in. We think of God as a creator to call on, not a home to reside in. But our Father wants to be much more. He wants to be the one in whom we "live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28)" - Max Lucado
