That pretty much sums up how my map drawing is going. "Agreeable to the mind". I think I'm almost complete the draft. All I have to do is finalise it and get it approved! woo! hehe
But then comes the struggle of colouring it in :P

"Much of our difficulty as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingly. We insist upon trying to modify Him and bring Him nearer to our own image." - A.W. Tozer (From The Pursuit of God)

Another thing I've been learning lately is to let God take over every inch of me- including my thoughts. To strive for Him in everything, to focus on Him, to think about Him and (my favourite!) to chat to Him whenever I feel like it. Isn't that last one the coolest thing ever? That God is there ever minute, every moment, willing and wanting to listen to what you say to Him. Whether I'm out prunning and decide to give Him an earfull of whatever it is on my mind, or in lectures distracted from the teaching, in the bus bored as, making breakfast and tired or WHATEVER I can just talk to Him and He listens... now i dont know about you, but I think that is an incredible sign of love. If you woke me up at three in the morning because you had something to talk to me about, I think I'd slap you and then roll over and pretend you werent there. Ok thats a lie, if it was serious I would, but not for the things I talk to God at those times for.
So that is my mission, and so far I'm succeeding. I intend to become lost in God. Consumed by Him. In love with Him. its true!
Have this pic on my study desk and i thought I'd share it because it often makes me smile and chuckle when I need a pick me up - its a classic!
