Sorry, there wasn't a post last night. I was held up by an unforeseen circumstance. ...Work. I had totally forgotten I had signed up to work at the BCC on Friday night. Oops!
Well my "Lady in Waiting" status has been on my mind a lot lately. I am not sure why, because I have been blessed to be with my family a lot recently keeping me from being alone. For the last couple of months I haven't really had to face my status, I knew it was there but I didn't pay much attention. I have been able to put it behind me and just go on with my daily activities. But lately it has been at the back of my my mind, maybe because of the holidays and all the parties and get together that couples do. I don't know, though whatever it is, it's there.
I am going to share a few things that the Lord has shared with me, through the last decade of my single life.
1) When God says something(someone) is ACCEPTABLE, don't say it(he) isn't. Acts 10:15
2) The only luggage of mine that needs to match his is a)I have been justified (Rom 5:1), b)I have been bought with a price (1 Cor 16:19-20), c)I have been redeemed (Col 1:14), d)I have the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16), e)Christ lives in me (Col 1:27)
3) That the one thing I am afraid of the MOST in life keeps me from the man God has for me. (Maybe I will get enough guts to share it one day, or after I share it with my future husband!!)
Isn't neat how the Lord teaches and refines us. He takes that time to HOLD me over the fire, at just the right heat, so I can become the woman of God He wants me to be, so I can become the wife He wants me to be, so I can become the mom He wants me to be. Now that I can SURRENDER my whole self, that one day God can see himself in the refined silver.
