Today I'm liking up with Emily on Down and Dirty (www.keepinitdownanddirty.blogspot.com)
So, instead of may or may not haves, I made a list of may or may nots. Because life (or my idea of what my life should be) seems a little uncertain these days...
I may or may not be able to finish school this semester.
I may or may not be able to meet the precious little person that is living in my tummy (not because there is anything wrong, but because complications can happen at any time to anyone and I'm very aware of that these days).
I may or may not move before the baby is born...we are praying about this (as in moving out of our current apartment, which means no longer being as active in the ministry that we are currently involved in).
I may or may not be able to finish my read-the-bible-in-a-year schedule.
All of these things make me feel a little crazy and out of control.
But you know what it is cool...even though I may or may not know what is lying ahead for us, even what is lying ahead for us tomorrow, I know the One who does know. I'm crazy to think I can handle all of life's issues on my own...no wonder I feel so crazy. These crazy times are the times to draw near to God and rest in Him. This morning was one of those times...hopefully tomorrow can be too. And hopefully I will be able to finish school, my bible reading plan, and meet my baby girl. But even if I don't ... God is still good! I say it now, because I know it is true, and it needs to sink in to my heart.
What truth should you be dwelling on?
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing songs and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God" Colossians 3:16
Thankful for Down and Dirty Mayhave Mondays for the admonishment... www.keepinitdownanddirty.blogspot.com
