hmmm, ok, some veddy personal musings here....
...but i'm trying to figure something out....
...how exactly does one *not* fall in love?
"do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires"....
i'm trying danged hard, but it seems to be happening nonetheless.
does that mean it's time?
aaaarrrgghhhh!!!!!!
if only God would say a clear yes or no.
but the only thing clear is that it is *not* a no.
He keeps cautioning me to not walk away, not not discount what He can do, oh ye of little faith i am. i keep seeing visions of what God *could* do, His potential in another person, in two people together. He tells me to not walk away from what is illogical, not 'common sensical', because He chooses the base things of the earth, of which i myself am one.
(please, no one try to argue that last point with me under the false illusion of trying to get me to acknowledge my role in God's plan, or natural worth in anything.... it's ALL God, none of me, i am well aware of my depravity thank you veddy much... and that's not what this post is about, k? :P)
He has done, is capable of, and will do GREAT things..... and He will not let me forget that fact.
(as clouded as my head has been lately, when i know it's His voice, i know that i know that i know.... y'know?)
i want to guard my heart from things that are not Him..... but i do not want to guard my heart from things that *are* Him.
He just says, "walk in faith, girl".... and i see Him smiling bemusedly as He, knowing all things, sees me walking in utter lack of any other compass point but Him (as there is none other). and He says Trust ME. Walk In FAITH. Don't Look Down.
....*and*....
He says walk in freedom in the convictions I have given you. accept no judgement. do before others what you have no shame in doing before Me.
forgive me my fear of judgement, Lord - my fear of man.
the goal: to focus this fuzzy, nut-bucket life and walk on Him - and on Him alone

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....
"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks
"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)
i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes
i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
