| I've been dating the most wonderful guy in the world for eight months.
:D In some ways it seems shorter, but in others it seems longer.
Jonathan has been such a wonderful gift from God; I thank Him upon
every remembrance of him. It has been amazing to me to see how
perfectly he fits what I had wished for in a guy, even down to the
little unimportant things. We work well together, and he makes my life
so much more easy, fun, and happy. I have a best friend, who leads me
closer to my Best Friend.
So, I encourage anyone who may be
reading this to give God the pen of their life and let Him write their
love story. He is the Author who makes no mistakes, and makes all
things beautiful in His time. Yes, it is sometimes difficult to wait
(patiently), but it is SO worth it.
P.S. I also highly recommend Eric and Leslie Ludy's books. :) | | |
| I will be so glad to have a permanent address, to be able to say with certainty "This is my home."
I never know what address to put when I'm filling things out. I feel
like I have to sit and think about what the address will be used for
and decide which address is the most convenient one to use. And then
later I can't remember which address I decided on. I'm afraid I will be
having this problem for at least three or four more years, and most
likely much further on than that.
A thousand years with the
same address, with only one home? Wonderful! Now, perhaps you're
thinking, 'There won't be any mail there so who cares.' I'm not
thinking about the practicks (sp), I'm just thinking of the whole idea
in general.... :)
I'm homesick . . . for several of my
homes. I miss my family, I miss my YD family, I miss my Jonathan, and I
long for my Perfect Home where all the nasty stuff in this world won't
exist, and where I won't have to miss anyone.
Father, teach me to long for it more. | | |
| So, on my lunch break I was thinking about perspective. I was reading
Steps to Christ and it was talking about a garden in which both flowers
and thorns were growing. The point was that we shouldn't dwell on the
bad things in life (disappointments, bad memories, etc.), but we should
be sure to appreciate the good things (God's promises, the things He
has done in the past for you, etc.). Anyhow, I have a question to pose
to you:
Do roses have thorns, or do thorns have roses? | | |
| Paying attention is a good thing. If you know when you're supposed to
go to work you can work normal hours instead of 1.5 extra hours.
And, please, don't buy a box of contact solution that doesn't look
right. (Even if it is the only kind the store has) Chances are, it
isn't the right thing, and then what are you going to do? You'll try to
return it of course. *heads off to do just that*
But it's been a good day. "Count your many blessings . . . and you will be singing as the days go by!" | | |
| "Through . . . the deepest and
tenderest earthly ties that human hearts can know, [God] has sought to
reveal Himself to us. Yet these but imperfectly represent His love." SC
10.3
I read that this morning and I was thinking about
it while washing shelves and wanted to share it with you all. It's very
true. My relationship with Orion has taught me A LOT about His love,
but I know there is still a lot that I have to learn. This week I
realized how much I don't
understand about Him and His love. I have a hard time understanding
unconditional love. But He's teaching me, with some help from Orion and
others. 
On a related note,
I really like that song taken from Isaiah 43: "I have called you by
name / you are Mine / you are precious in My sight." (Alas, a fruitless
google search failed to find the title.) | | |
