Keeping it real.

The minute you start reading a book titled Unglued – you suddenly become aware that YOU, infact, do have a tendency to come unglued.  No matter how often I tell myself, “I don’t want to come unglued!!!”  I fail miserably.  Having a book that shines light on my struggles and offers help only seems to afford me a magnifying glass look in to my struggle with remaining GLUED.  ‘tis sad but true.  It’s like those times you hear a sermon on patience…you sense this message might be a pre-req for the trial about to befall you.  Thankfully we know God is with us and He allows trials, temptations, etc. for our good.

Sooo here I am…a work in progress.  We sing a song in Sunday school – He’s still working on me.  It talks about how it only took God 7 days to make the sun and the moon and Jupiter and Mars…but He’s loving and patient and still working on me.  It’s a great truth…and a catchy tune. 

I’ve not blogged in a couple days.  Everytime I think about blogging, I struggle with what to write…

You see, tonight I will say goodbye to a dear friend and her wonderful family.  Even though I know that this move for them is clearly, CLEARLY God’s will…I am still sad.  And it’s not wrong that I am sad because God gave me emotions.  Goodness – Jesus wept when His friend Lazarus died.

It’s been a year full of goodbyes…  I know eventually the tears will cease but for now…for now they fall.
