"Run, Emily, Run."

Ecclesiastes 12:8 "Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher, all is vanity."

I've been sitting here for a while, trying to come up with words to convey what I'm thinking/feeling. But I haven't found any.
I'm very... content and hopeful right now.It's been a good day and I'm having trouble caring about myself right now (which of course, is a good thing). I'm not even sure what happened...
:-)
We had a great sermon this evening in church. We were in Ecclesiastes 12. The last chapter of Ecclesiastes where Solomon comes to the end of his thoughts and concludes with this:
Ecclesiastes 12:13 "So, let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
Then the teacher quoted a commentator (who's name I cannot, for the life of me, recall, sorry) who said this:
"How shall we arrive at this blessed fear? Let us set God ever in our eye and study His immensity... Let us pray for this fear of God which is the root of all holiness..."
I've been quite distracted the last few weeks and this sermon got my attention and totally reminded my of where my attention should be.
And then....
I read this. It's an old post from The Rebelution Blog. I'm glad I came across it.
I'm not going to post the whole thing... It's kinda long- but follow the link above and go read it!
I've kinda been stuck the last few... well, years! I was basing everything on how I felt and that's not what God has commanded me to do.
So- I have a To Do list sitting next to me which will be addressed first thing in the morning. Right now, I'm going to bed- sweet dreams world! I don't need them, not tonight!
