this little bug





another hard one, I'm begining to think that they don't get any easier... I went to the beach today, by myself just to sit and read my books, get out of this little town and sit before God's creation. The ocean is so big, I really love being there its untainted, raw... you get what you get. Well, I dont think my choice of beach was very good, too many memories. and couples... oh the couples! they are EVERYWHERE... holding hands, gazing at each other... makes me sad. so I sat, read more of Debi Pearl, learned more about the kind of wife I desire to be, but then I start to feel hopesless again, the enemy comes in feeds me lies and the sinking in my heart feels like a million pounds. Good thing I had my huge white sun glasses on... I probably looked like a mental case sitting in full clothing on the beach, with books spread out before me, bawling. goodness me.
well, I was feeling pretty terrible, then this little lady bug flew onto my wedding ring... my whole entire life I have always known that when you get the chance to pick up a lady bug, hold it in your hand make a wish and let it fly away, if it flies your wish will come true... so I looked at the little lady bug, chuckled, closed my eyes, made my wish and it flew away... ok people, so the rest of my life is riding on a lady bug!
not so much...
but.
God reminded me of my scripture for this week in my patience book... Romans 12:11-12 "Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer..."

I guess im seeing more of that microwave fast mentality I have.. oh big daddy grandfather clock... Today I barely got by... tomorrow is new. Im learning and growing and waiting on the Lord.

The song on the here "Love is not a fight" just brought me to tears! It is so beautiful, thank you for sharing it.

I'm amazed at the things you are learning and what the Lord is showing you! He is pleased with your heart right now!
