It is amazing how much I have to struggle to stay focused on the Lord. It's not that I don't want to, but this life here in this world tries so hard to invade when you decide to live your life for the Lord. I picked that picture because I pray that it is true.
I need to keep hope alive. Hope in love, peace, happiness.....all those things and probably more. I think I either read something or listened to a sermon that stated love was the root to the rest...
So does that mean if you don't have love, you don't get the rest? I had a nice weekend. I thanked God for a nice Mother's Day. People I didn't expect told me Happy Mother's Day. A person whom I had contacted on another holiday but didn't even respond, told me HMD. I said "I will not hold a grudge" and responded with a "thank you".
Saturday I talked to God and fussed some regarding my being alone. I don't like it. I would like to eventually be married, but I guess God knows that right now is not the time. As I was "talking/fussing", I ran into someone I dated over 20yrs ago. He is still interested...I am not. I think he will be good to go out places with at times, but other than that, like I told me sis in Christ, I don't want past! I want future! She asked if he was saved. This I don't know yet as I haven't had a conversation with him, but we shall see. I know more and more the type of guy I would like and if I look at the past guys, none of them fit that bill.
I talked to my father on Sunday as well. I asked where the men like him were because there seems to be none! (And probably the ones that are like him are married!) He said everything comes in due time. My dad has the words I need to hear at the time I need to hear them. Which leads me to thinking about patience. And something I read about it. "Patience is not the ability to wait. It is how you act while you are waiting"..... I had to stop and think on that one. It had an impact on my mind.
So while I am "patiently" waiting for that person God has for me, I will continue to focus on God and on His fixing me to make me like Him. I have good days and I have bad days, but through all those days, I still have Jesus......That I am most thankful for.
Until next time............
