Just turned in finals

I just got done with another set of finals. I don't realize the stress I am under until I take a week off of school. I feel like a robot. All get to really read is school stuff and I feel like it's work, school,home, work, school, home. It feels good to take a little break. I must say I have been in dior need of one. I am reading the book of Daniel right now and am enjoying reading other things besides school work. I have started some of the reading on my new classes though. I thought it would be helpful to get a head for when I start. Five more classes and I am done! Not bad for turning 30 huh! LOL! I am on count down right now.

King David and King Solomon-What I learned

Okay.... so.... I have been reading on King David and on King Solomon in the bible. King David definitly experienced many different things in his life. So did King Solomon. My heart is filled with the desire to stay away from sin. I believe that is why we can use King David as a prime example. He was an extroridany leader that was chosen at a young age. He developed into the person God wanted him to be. He was a man after God's own heart. He made some major mistakes though. He committed murder, adultry made mistakes in his marrige (s) and as a parent. He was a soldier and a king. He knew how to live without and was familiar with the luxuray of living with. My heart wants to burst as I read about his life. The great thing is that he left this earth fulfilling all he could and he left a set place (the kingdom) for his son King Solomon to take over. I wish I could put into words all the things that I feel from reading this portion of the bible. I feel warned, encouraged, sad, confident, grieved, all at the same time. One can learn many things from this great man's life. I encourage you to learn from his mistakes and also from his great victories. There is plenty for us to learn from.
Okay.... let's talk about King Solomon. King Solomon was the wealthiest King that lived and was full of wisdom that people from all over wanted to hear. Unfortunately he ended up straying away from God because he began to worship the God's of his wives. The bible says he liked foreign women and they seduced him into worshiping those God's. Because of his decisions the kingdom would be taken from him. The lord allowed only one portion to remain to honor all King David did. It breaks my heart to read that he could have strayed away the way he did. Especially because he was so wise and had all he needed an more. It goes to show you that non of us are exempt and we should constantly evaluate our hearts. If anything that is what I am doing. Evaluating my heart and seeking God to guide me an my family. It made me think about my marriage, future and my son. I want only God's best for my marriage and for my son. Lord, help us to full fill all of your will; not just a piece of it. Thank you for your revelation from this portion of your word. May you strengthen other's marriages and all the parents and there children. We love you and we praise you lord. Help us to stay close to you. In Jesus name. Amen.
