You know that you know yet you don't do....
It amazes me how my life has come to this impasse.
Even now as I type I see a reminder of what I hold true and dear to my heart. I thought I would be done with all this relationship seeking mess years ago. But the relationship was in was a mess. I persevered in getting out of that mess by clinging on to His robe...holding fast the truths I came to love. He has promised never to forsake me...in a sense I became a widow. I pulled through that time by no strength of my own. He became my husband because I was without a husband. He has such a sense of humor, too! One day as I was struggling with my lawn mower the contractor who was working on my neighbor's house came down off the ladder to help. This is how he helped. He told me that I needed to change the oil in my lawn mower and to change the spark plug. Oh, it would have been far easier to have him do it if I went to Home Depot to get what I needed, right? Well, he proceeded to tell me HOW to do it instead. It was going to be up to me! ME! God provided the know how and left it up to me to fix my own problem. Yes, I can tune up and change the oil of my own lawn mower!
Now, you may be wondering what is that I see while I sit and type this that is reminding me of His truths. When I decided to let Him be my husband till He found someone worthy enough to hold that position in my life I found this beautiful cross ring. The cross turns; one side is filigree and the other is turquoise. It very pretty and very interesting, but more importantly, it is a reminder of his promise to me.
Do not cast your pearls before swine.
I was given a word once by my spiritual mom....do not settle for less than His best...
Everything now in my life is going to be taken a day at a time....
until I know that I know. Then I will do.
