It seems that no matter what, I find myself very busy these days. It's a lot of the reason I don't post much these days. It isn't that there isn't stuff going on, but that I'm a lot of too tired to share it. There are a half-dozen posts about this or that, started but not finished because the need and urgency to sleep were greater than to share what's going on in my life.
Things here at Lark Circle are, for the most part, well. Having my friend here has been such a blessing to me and it's nice to be able to be a blessing in return. There's been a little bit of drama in the house, but I think that, with God's grace, I was able to put a stop to most of it. Sometimes just saying sorry, even when you don't feel like you ought to be, goes a long way toward smoothing over hard feelings.
You can do things in love; even offer a rebuke. I'm grateful for that understanding. It's God-given. My human nature (and my big fat mouth) would just use the "my way or the highway" approach which very seldom works. Even when it does, it doesn't work for long and just builds resentment.
God is doing great things in my life. I watched a little DVD yesterday that really made a lot of things come into focus for me. I kind of understand God's promises to us just a little bit more than I used to. Too often, and because I'm a product of my environment, I want the instant results. God of the Universe has HIS time. It's not my time. I'm more aware that God's promises aren't just for the moment; they're eternal. What will come may not come in the earthly lifetime. Storing up treasures in heaven is a hard thing to understand when there are more bills on the counter than there is money in the checkbook, but God provides. I've seen it in so many ways.
I'm understanding how to look at things with a Kingdom perspective, not a Dale's take on it perspective. The view is different.
This is gonna be a busy weekend. I know the plans I had for where I'd be this weekend and they didn't materialize. There will be a road trip involved but not the direction or destination I'd planned. I'm thankful to God for the change in plans because I understand that it just wasn't for me to go west. I don't understand it but I'm OK with it and getting better at being OK with it as the time goes past.
Well, gang, that's it for today. I'm soon to be off to work when all I really want (read...NEED) is another eight hours of sleep, but someone's gotta go make the dog food money.
