"Jessica, We Need to Talk" -God

OK so I talked a little yesterday about how the Lord spoke to me last week.

I got the chance to talk about it with my parents last night and it seriously led me to tears.
I didn't really know how to describe how the Lord had spoken to me, I just knew that I needed to start over in a few areas.
I finally realized that it was seeing Christ in the group of college students last week that made me want to change who I have been lately.
They reflected Christ like a mirror, and I want that so badly. 

God gave me a couple specific areas that He wants me to change in.
1. I really need to start having a DAILY quiet time again.
2. I need to make Him 100% number one in my life.

So today I read a little in Ecclesiastes 5 for my college Bible study.
Verse 7 really popped out...

"Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore, stand in awe of God."

It reminds me of the "Be still and know that I am God." verse.
It's pretty much saying "Jessica, shut up and realize how awesome I am."
I don't do that near enough. I am always running around doing something and I never seem to just stop and take in His beauty.

I just need to slow down.

Psalm 84:2 says
"My soul YEARNS, even faints for courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh CRY OUT for the living God." 

My prayer is that I will become like that, and that I will desire the Lord more than anything.
