This journey is my own

God has been teaching me a lot. Okay, so that statement kinda goes without saying. It's not like you say "Oh yeah, God's been teaching me a little bit." But its obviousness doesn't make it any less true. It never ceases to amaze me that the Creator of the universe would want to teach me things. That He would want me to know Him.

Anyways, one of things I've been learning about these last few weeks is the true meaning of my walk with Jesus. It's so easy to equate my relationship with the Lord with what I'm doing (Aa;dslkfjdsfl, stay away you dirty legalism leech! ). That's why legalism is so stinkin' ironic. It has NOTHING to do with me. This life-- this life that God has given to me-- is about knowing the Lord more deeply.

Abide in Me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
John 15:4

That's it. My relationship with the Lord is between me and Him. Now, go! Abide away!

On a completely unrelated note, I discovered a few things this last week, of which I will put in list format in order to prevent potential rambling, all the while purposefully omitting my reasoning behind these discoveries to let your imagination do the work.

1) Dementors are to Harry Potter as art museums are to me. (just let that irony soak in...)

2) The taste of fried foods do not justify the feelings of sickness they induce.

3) Peet's Coffee never gets old.

4) Little kids are stupid cute. (Why yes, yes that is my niece Bella. Wearing my LC-esque sunglasses. See the resemblance?)

5) Fog is gross and so is 60 degree weather in July.
