I've missed you guys. I don't have a lot to say, but let me just say that God has me on an incredible journey right now. A quiet walk. A time of growing and restoration. It was a painful start, and I feel a bit unsteady still, but when that comes upon me, I try to quiet my spirit and wait for Him to lead. That is a lesson I never learned, but am learning now. He has taken me off-road. We like to be on a path, but He likes us to trust in Him, and sometimes, I guess for me right now, He likes me still. Not moving, but actively waiting and searching Him out. This is not a time of sit and do nothing, but sit and wait on the glory of the Lord. Wait to be led. It's exciting. I can't wait to see what's on the other side. I am sorry for what I did that made Him yank me back into line like a small child being taught a lesson. I am sorry that I didn't listen. Didn't obey.
I feel like He's shining me up like a rock. You know those skipping stones, smooth, not too fat, round, and shiny. A treasure among the dirt and mud. To be used for pleasure. To watch it's beauty glide across the top of the water. What a simple joy. But not everyone can skip a stone. And not anyone on this earth or in all the Heavens except my Father, can make me a beautiful, useful, joy.
What I have learned so far is that our idols are not always easy to spot. They may be things that make us feel close to God. That we think are preparing us for war even, but even those things can not come before our Father. We must stay attuned to what He has for us, and obey Him and ALWAYS put Him first.
Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.
Love, B
