Things for a Monday
It's not been a bad day today in Ogden, Utah. Indian summer is upon us. Mt. Ogden is a landscape of red, brown, and gold that is spectacular to behold. I've enjoyed the view this morning on this beautiful sunny day.
I've spent a lot of time yesterday and today reading articles about God talking to us. A lot of really unusual things have happened over the last three weeks. I talked to my mom about these and she told me of a dream she had. I talked to a good Christian friend who offered an opposing viewpoint but in the end, I know God is talking to me. As sure as the sun is out, I know this. It comes from an inner voice, reassuring me that in His time, in His way, things will go according to His plan.
I think I've been quite anxious about this over the last couple of days. Today I prayed for patience in the matter and understanding. I think patience is the key word here because there are so many things I don't understand right now. What I do know is that God is at work in my life! I have comfort in knowing this!
I wrote down the things that were troubling me this morning. Not on the blog. Word, I'm finding, is a much better tool than the blog. At least I can't cause trouble or get into trouble for things I say to myself and God. I told y'all I'm getting a little bit smarter! As I wrote them, I felt a feeling of calm. I know that in time, and with patience, God will make His will known to me. I understand the frustrations I've had have been misdirected and that He's the one in control now. I keep talking of how I've given this to him, and yet it seems to me that I keep trying to meddle. When I do this, though, I realize the power God has to deal with things for me and what will happen if I don't stay out of it.
My mom gave me a great piece of advice yesterday: Let go, Let God! It's not easy to do this sometimes because I'm still a bit impatient. I'm working on that today.
In God's time, all things will become apparent. In the meantime, I'm listening intently, praying, reading God's words to us from the Bible and find my answers there. I need to see if I can find a good Christian group to join that will allow me to replace the fellowship I felt when I went to church on Saturday nights in Colorado. I enjoyed that so much and hopefully I can find something local to fill that void in my life.
That's me for this Monday. I hope the Lord blesses you all with a great week.
