Two Lists

I'm sure I'll have to add to these as I continue to think about it:

My goal for 2007 is that people will look at me and say to themselves, "There's a girl who loves Christ."

What stirs my affections for Jesus?

• songs
• listening to good/real/applicable sermons
• Max Lucado books
• writing for my blog or in my journal
  
• talking to friends about spiritual issues
• an ah-ha when reading George MacDonald & CS Lewis
• reading the Bible for a purpose
• helping others with things that seem trivial to me, but are huge to them
• having one of those prayers where I'm really pouring my heart out and crying and can just feel God listening to me (no matter how hard I'm hurting, I feel His peace)
  

What robs me of those affections and/or changes my focus?

• lots of kissing in movies (I really miss kissing.)
  
• focusing on my loneliness
• getting behind at school
• a messy house
