The Applause of Heaven

Create in me a pure heart, God, and make my spirit right again.

Psalm 51:10

We are thirsty. Not thirsty for fame, possessions, passion, or romance. We've drunk from those pools. They are salt water in a desert. They don't quench- they kill. 'Blessed are those who hunger and thrust for righteousness..." Righteousness....That's what we are thirsty for. We're thirsty for a clean conscience. We crave a clean slate.... We pray for a hand that will enter the dark cavern of our world and do for us the one thing we can't do for ourselves- make us right again!

This was my September 1 verse and thought for the day (it's a little calendar i have sitting by my desk at school)...and it's been in my head all day! I am thirsty for a clean slate. I am thirsty for something the world can't give me. I can't wait for the 'hand' of Christ to come and do His thing in me. I can't do it alone. Create in me oh God....

This year at school I've vowed to keep the drama away. Of course, you can't work in a junior high school and not have drama. i expect drama from my students. But...i hate drama driven by adults. I've vowed I will NOT HAVE IT THIS YEAR. so...God is going to create in me a clean heart, a pure heart...a new slate. I can feel it! I am taking NO DRAMA from the past with me into this year. I am THIRSTY for something different, that is for sure!
