Well yesterday was interesting and i really felt lonely so i decided to delve into my bible and see if i could get some help there. And to no surprise i did. At first i had no idea where i should read from so i just kinda said hey the lord probably has something he wants me to read so lets just open the bible randomly and see where it takes me from there. I open the bible straight up to the gospel of Mark. So then I read from the beginning of the chapter which was nice as it always is learning more about my Lord and savior but I just felt like I one verse really stuck out to me. And we all know this event but first let me set the stage for you anyways. The desciples and Jesus are out on the sea and Jesus is asleep. A storm comes and the desciples become terrified and went to Jesus saying " Teacher, don't you care if we drown?". And then i read Mark 4:40 " He said to his disciples, " Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"". And i really felt like that verse was talking to me and saying to trust in my faith in the Lord and he'll get me through this. Just as we all need to trust in our faith in the lord i'm actually being tested on it now. I feel like this will draw me closer to the lord because i feel a desire to pick up the bible and learn about him that i never really have felt as strongly as this. I know that my parents and my girlfriend and my sister are always going to be there for me but most importantly so is the Lord and through him i'm gonna be able to get through this. Well anyways i just thought i'd share this little event with you but i'm probably going to get to sleep now cuz i have classes in the morning.
Later and sweet dreams everyone,
Jeremy
P.S. I'm thinking about starting up a daily devotional on here for those of you that would like to tune in feel free to comment too. I know i'm not really qualified but I feel like its the right thing to do and if i read something and i describe it incorrectly on here i welcome my parents to correct me because i'd like to know if i'm wrong. Plus i know that some of my friends are reading this and if i can help any of you to come to the lord through this then its all worth it. Mainly its just going to be a discussion devotional and i'd love for people to post their opinions in the comments section and i'll take all the help i can get. I just feel like and know that the more time that i spend talking and thinking about the lord, the better things will get.
