Teaser Trailer

On a personal note, I have been feeling pulled in three different directions and am trying to figure out where to go first. I know that I will arrive at all three places at some point in my life, but I need God to let me know which one is my place for right now. If you feel led to, please pray for me about this decision and the strength & courage to do my part once the decision is made.

In the meantime, here's a little blurb with my thoughts about my future husband. I thought it was a pretty cool analogy...
Thank you God, for the confidence that he IS out there and that he IS coming soon. Like a highly anticipated movie, I've seen the trailer and read the synopsis, now I cannot wait to watch!! I know the release date is soon, but "the powers that be" aren't quite ready to announce them yet. Part of me wishes they would, but another knows it will be worth the wait, no matter how long, and rests in that confidence. I have to be thankful for the teaser and for the summary, some aren't even that assured. For now, you are my rock and on that I stand firm and rest easy.

Blemishes

This is a bit gross, but I thought it was an interesting analogy. It's also a very true metaphor for my lifelong struggles. ;)

I am so tired of being a spiritual teenager! I constantly create blemishes as I stress out and try to rely on my own strength in life. God, in His infinite wisdom, brings these blemishes to a head, so that the toxin can be released and I can heal. But, in my foolishness, I often try to release the toxin too quickly and by using my own strength. This just creates a sore that takes even more time to heal. I am so ready to grow up and allow God to cleanse my heart for good! Dear Lord, create in me a pure heart!
