With the arrival of Ian's baby brother on Wednesday, I had to move my Bible Study group to Tuesday morning, and since I haven't seen the completed nursery yet, I am going to my son's home on Monday evening to check everything out (and maybe watch the batchelor with them), our regular girl's movie and a dinner night was moved to Sunday evening instead. We went to see Dear John and it was really good. The ending was almost exactly like the book but much better at the very end. We all loved it, then went to The Rail Head Restaurant in Willow Park to eat and talk. They closed at 9pm so we didn't stay as late as we usually do. It was a wonderful time of fellowship and sharing just like always and I always come away from that time of fun feeling so much better and more lighthearted. Thank you girls for being my friends.
I said in my last blog I had a bad day on Thursday, I did recover but pondered a lot of things over the last few days. I prayed and told the Lord I was sorry for my attitude on Thursday, I know he always knows my heart better than I do so I can't lie to him about my feelings. I am extremely analytical and always see things in black and white, so when it comes to spiritual matters although I know the jargon and the theology I still become frustrated when I know how I want to live and then I see how I really do live. I become extremely discouraged and down on myself. Wait a minute! He created me and knows I am made from dust and you know what He did for me this morning? The pastor preached a sermon just for me, that basically said, we are all imperfect people, here on this earth we will never achieve perfection and sinlessness, but we serve a perfect Lord and Saviour and therein lies our hope. So for today I have been a little less hard on myself and my imperfections. I have been able to rest in my God's goodness and blessing. Praise the Lord for his provision to speak to us personally in a corporate worship service. Thank you Heavenly Father! May you bring those words back to me when I need them the most this week.
