In Love...

Waking up next to the man I love is honestly a dream come true. I get to go to sleep in his arms and feel comforted all night. I get to find peace in his arms and let him hold me as I sleep. I get the privilege of waking up next to him everyday. He lovingly and gently allows me to awake in his arms and just breathes on me as I say good morning to the day. He tenderly and lovingly holds me as I go about my day and he desires to share everything with me. I asked him to come with me this morning and so today he came with me to work. We sat and talked all morning about everything. He wanted me to share my inmost thoughts with him so I did. He wanted me to tell him the plans I had for the future and how much I wanted him to be apart. We went to visit my friend at lunch and he helped me with my attitude. He wanted to be there at practice tonight so I invited him to stay. I ran some errands afterwards and I asked him to come along. I wanted the company. It also made me feel safer to have him with me on my drive. We came home and are watching "Friends." I know that he loves me just the way I am and I know that I want to change and be better so that we can continue our amazing relationship. I love it when I feel his arms around me and I love it when He talks to me so gently. I just love him with all that I am and I know that the love I have for him can't ever compare to anything I could even dream up. This truly is a love that will last a lifetime and survive everything. Even now sitting here I see him smiling at me and gently rubbing my head. Thank you Jesus that you truly are the Lover of My Soul. Thank you for wanting to share my day with me, and thank you for making me fall more in love with you everyday. Lord, can we do this again tomorrow?

Perseverance vs. Endurance

Image
Endurance is something I normally associate with sports, but really in the bible endurance is something that is to wait out the storm to wait it out and know that things will change. Waiting for things to change but just sitting back and riding out the storm. I have endured a lot of things but what does that really show about my character? Nothing except that I know how to wait things out sometimes. That I can sit back and ride the wave, or have a bit of patience for things to change. Although endurance is good in sports and beneficial when you need to wait on something, it isn't what defines character. It isn't what makes good stories. Who wants to sit and listen to someone tell you a story about them sitting and waiting for things to change, who wants to tell a story like that? I sure don't. When I tell a story I want it to be a good story but Epic stories like the Titanic come from something other than endurance. If those people on the boat would have done nothing but en...

Warring further still...

Knowing that this season in my life is where it should be is probably easier to accept, than for me to accept the truths of what God Himself has spoken to me about the future. I will tell you that what I am walking through is difficult and hard, but what God has spoken to me is even harder. Not because it will be painful, although I am sure it will be at times, but because of the reality and gravity of what it is. I am in a season of prepping, I believe, in my life for the next season of living out what I know God has said. He has given me direction in many areas of my life and yet I am in this waiting game. Tonight I was reminded that as Jesus had the cross before Him, those hours in the garden right before were necessary. He needed to go and seek the face of His Father. He needed to go further still. (Matt. 26:38-39) He wrestled with the dread for the task He was about to undertake. I know that God isn't asking us to take on all the sins of the world for all the ages ever to be, ...

1 Thes. 5:16-18

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thes. 5:16-18 NIV How simple are these three verses and yet we think that there is so much more we need to do, for us to be in God's will. We take them in and let them out so easily. As if God CAN'T want something so simple, He is a BIG God and so He MUST want something BIG. This is a lie. We run around in circles trying to figure out the will of God and yet we can't seem to find it because we are looking in the WRONG direction. We hear God, We MOVE, and then leave God in the dust because He made a turn and we didn't hear him because we didn't STOP and ask. God doesn't change, His plans for us don't change, YET we seem to think that He is the one that changes when we head in the wrong direction. We blame Him for ditching us and not telling us when to move, when REALLY it is us who didn't stop and ask for a new direction....
