He is Jealous for Me

I'm pretty sure I could push kids in the swing for days and not get tired. We have two kindergarten kids at the afterschool program I work at in the afternoons and they have been a blessing to me and to my job. It's not the best part of my job for a lot of reasons, but those kids have made it a little brighter this week. Today I was pushing Mark and Jaylen in the swings and the looks on their faces just made my day. They kept saying, "higher! That's not high enough!" They just kept wanting more and more of something so simple. Then Mark tried to push me in the swing and we didn't get very far. It was a really cool day and as dumb as it sounds, if you let them, kids will teach you more than you want to be taught about Jesus. It's so refreshing.

I've been reading Job lately and it's one of my favorite books of the Bible. Just because of all the stuff Job goes through yet he finds hope and life in the Lord. I also think it's rad that it's the book right before Psalms. hmmm....

"Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the almighty? They are higher than the heavens-what can you do? They are deeper than the depths of the grave-what can you know?

Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.

Yet if you devote your heart to him and stretch out your hands to him, if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent, then you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and without fear. You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by. Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning; You will be secure, because there is hope."

- Job 11:7-9, 13-18

God has no limits!
