I've learned...
that when I forget to read my Bible I tend to pray less and miss Him more.
His patience is amazing. He doesn't force me to come to Him, but waits lovingly. That makes me love and want to please Him even more.
I must be vigilant in order not to fall back into my old ways. When we start dabbling in gray it quickly consumes life's color scheme.
He is everywhere and cares about the smallest details and prayers in our lives. Even down to the "Please Lord let no one come home covered in ticks..."
But what I've learned most is that I can do NOTHING without God in my life: I can not seek Him, love Him, take care of my family, take care of my health, wake up, fall asleep, or have a good laugh without Him. Through good times and bad, He gives me the only peace, joy, love, security, and hope I've ever known. I can not love my family without the love He gives and teaches me. I can not think straight, reason, or comprehend. There is no song of praise or joy in my heart without Him placing it there.
This summer I have learned that I am nothing without Jesus Christ.
...yet, through Him, I can do anything.
