Matt's in Flight!
 |
| Well, he did it! He took an airplane ride without me. And he had a blast!!! Because he's so tall, he had to sit in the front seat. This allowed him a serious first-hand look at all the controls.... And It allowed him the opportunity to steer for a bit! Needless to say, Matt is sold on flying. Anyone have a spare single engine plane for him to tinker with And Extra funds to pay for flying lessons? |

31 Days of Obedience to Him
Well, as you probably realize, I have not posted every day. But that is not to say He has not shown me what He needs in obedience to His will for my life.
During this time of not sharing my journey He has dealt with me. I say 'dealt' as that is the only term that describes handling a stubborn willful child.
He has spoken softly in my ear,
then, when that failed,
He has roared in my face
like a mighty wind.
He has shown me where I am strong, willful, content, spoiled, and still needing to be broken and reshaped.
He has asked me gently to listen
and sat me in my room alone to think when I refused to listen.
He showed me who and what I need.
He removed who and what was bad for me.
He held me close as I cried
and was my friend when I felt friendless.
He showed me that, in order to grow further,
I was going to have to let go completely
and
simply trust Him.
And so,
I jumped!
And
I fell into His arms.
Broken and re-sculpted.

Forcible Separation from the World
Sometimes God has to use others to separate us from them.
To reveal to our hearts the truth about the world
What it is
And what it will do to us.
I recently was in such a situation.
He used someone unexpected to show me His way.
He used twisted words,
twisted plans
a dear Christian friend deeply hurt
and a multitude of tears.
He broke me.
And,
as I look back at that time,
I remember where I was just before it all fell apart
to be rebuilt into
pure beauty
by Him.
Why did it all fall apart?
I was wanting it all~
deeper Bible study
and
'friends' in the world.
And, as I was mentally writing a blog about why I cannot yet always wear that head covering I so desire because my walk is not yet there, I was walking that walk that prevented me from getting there.
And I was praying earnestly,
"Please, God, take everyone from my life who hinders my walk with You and me following Your will for my life. And, please, please, could You bring into my life a man who will want to serve You together?"
And so,
many people are gone from my life
(meaning not in my personal life).
And it hurt at first,
but it was a pain
akin with the pulling of a rotten tooth.
My life is so much better now.
Peaceful.

Fresh, New Morning...

| It's so nice to peek out the back door and see how God has washed my humble homestead with the rains overnight. What a glorious day this will be! |
