So this is the first entry to my new blog. I hope to use it to post about things that are going on in my life, things God is teaching me and bible verses that I am currently reading. I will also post pictures along with some entries. I don't know who will read this, or if there will be an audience at all. If so, that's cool, if not, that's cool too. I would just like a place that I can write down my thoughts and events. I have a Livejournal, but I haven't posted on it in forever, so I thought I'd like to start off new.
I named my blog "Longing 4 Him' because lately I've been wanting something deeper than ever before in my relationship w/ God. I want to look back at my life and feel like I've actually connected with God. I want to look back and feel and know that I have been a light for Christ's Kingdom and that He will one day say "Well done, good and faithful servant". How I long to hear those words, to know that I have helped and served my Abba faithfully and willingly.

"Yes, Lord, walking in the ways of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desires of our hearts. My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgements come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness. Though grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and regard not the majesty of the Lord." Isaiah 26:8-10
